나나이족의 상례(喪禮)와 사자(死者) 숭배 연구 - 한국의 상례와 비교하여

Abstract

In order to examine the various ideas reflected in the ceremonies of mourning of the siberian Nanays and the ceremonies of mourning of Korea, first I looked at the view of soul, life and death, the otherworld, fear and respect of soul of the dead. Next, I in depth looked at the worship of soul of the dead or ancestors revealed on the surface of the ceremonies of mourning in relation to the shamanistic idea. Their worldview is reflected in the ceremonies of mourning of the Nanays and the ceremonies of mourning of Korea, which show similar procedures. First, in the view of the soul, person has the soul of multiplicity, the soul of the dead does not immediately leave the otherworld, but stays in this world for a certain period of time, and the soul of the dead is identified with a living person. Second, in the view of life and death, a person's life and death depend on the existence of a soul. When the soul stays in a person's body, that person is considered alive, and when the soul leaves the body, that person is considered dead. Third, in the view of otherworld, material things in this world exist in the same way in otherworld. In otherworld, the soul of the dead lives the same life as in this world. Fourth, in the fear and respect of soul of the dead, the living person fears the soul of the dead. Because of this fear, the living person respects the soul of the dead. The fear of soul of the dead is one of the shamanistic ideas. The fear of soul of the dead leads to the idea of worship of soul of the dead, and that worship of soul of the dead naturally leads to ancestor worship. These shamanistic ideas were reflected in procedures of the ceremonies of mourning in Nanays and Korea.
