公州 彌勒院 飯子의 銘文과 奉安處에 대한 재고찰

Abstract

The place where the Buddhist gong was made during Goryeo Dynasty, the historical fact contained to the inscribed characters and the place of the MiReukWon enshrined with the Buddhist gong were looked into in this paper. The aforementioned important points are summarized as follows. First of all, the Buddhist gong at MiReukWon was made by a monk, zen master Hyoan at MiReukWon, Kongju on 1191(12st year of King Myungjong). The Buddhist gong was cast newly while InJeWon where the Buddhist gong placed from the beginning changed its name at that time. An interesting thing is the location of MiReukWon where the Buddhist gong was hoisted. It was the place not too much different with the InJeWon of Choseon Dynasty. In the other words, it was in the village called as InJuWon till today. With regards to the interpretation of the characters, Park Heung-sik reinterpreted the phrase of ‘InJeWon on the land of Togeo prefecture, Kongju’ for ‘the top of Charyeung on the land of Kongju or InJeWon at the edge of Charyeung.’ He point out for its rationale that the inscriptions on the Buddhist gong made during similar age was composed of make date, make place, storage place, maker, optative sentence, and the geographical name of Togeo prefecture was not existed in Kongju. Still, there are the geographical names such as InJeoWon and InJiWon at the proximities of Inpoong-ri, Jungan-myeon, Kongju City. The name of the hill crossing to Charyeung in the northwest is InJeWon Hill or Wonteo Hill. From these facts, it was concluded that the InJeWon of Goryeo Dynasty is the later self of InJeWon of Goryeo Dynasty, and it is highly probable the InJeWon of Goryeo Dynasty was called as MiReukWon at one time.
