조선 전기 이전 四柱命理의 유입 과정에 대한 고찰

Abstract

This study presents an investigation into the introduction process of Saju-myeongri before the former half of Joseon. It is very likely that the earlier form of Saju-myeongri was introduced from Tang Dynasty by the students of Southern and Northern Countries to Tang Dynasty and the envoys, Zen priests, powerful local clans, and 6 dupum individuals around the 8th and 9th century. In the 14th century, the writings of Lee Je-hyeon and Lee Saek first mentioned the content about Saju-myeongri directly. The record about Nangangmang, the origin of Gungtongbogam, first appeared in 1430 during the early stage of Joseon. In 1458,Seo Geo-jeong wrote Ohaengchonggwal, which is estimated to be Korea’s first Saju-myeongri book, by the royal order. Japyeongsammyeongtongbyeonyeonwon of Seo Dae-seung, which was published in Jeondang, the capital of Southern Song Dynasty, from 1253 to 1258, was chosen as one of the textbooks of Myeonggwahak in Gyeonggukdaejeon published in 1466. The Taebokgam, Taesaguk, and Seowoongwan, which were established in early Goryeo to be in charge of astronomy and art of divination, had no function related to Saju-myeongri, but Gwansanggam in early Joseon finally included Jeomsan. In the 13th century when the early modern system of Saju-myeongri was formed in China, Goryeo had no room for importing foreign culture due to its long battles against the northern peoples including Mongolia. After it made peace with Mongolia in 1270, its exchanges of culture and human resources with Yuan Dynasty became active. Taking into those aspects together, it is estimated that the Japyeong-myeongri, the basis of today’s Saju-myeongri, was introduced by the students studying in China,envoys, naturalized citizens, new generation of illustrious officials, and intellectuals living along the borders in the late 13th century and spread full-scale by Yuan Dynasty in the early 14th century.
