동학사의 동학삼사(東鶴三祠) 연구 - 사적 전개와 의례 변화를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This paper is a study focusing on the rituals for the people enshrined here through the Buddhist historical development of Donghak Samsa (東鶴三祠) in Donghaksa Temple(東鶴寺) in the Joseon Dynasty from the perspective of Wonchal(願刹) and Wondang(願堂). In Donghak Samsa Temple, ancestral rites are now held for King Danjong(1441~1457), as well as those who were killed while helping King Danjong’s affairs, such as the slaughtered spirits, burials, bureaucrats, and even slaves. In particular, at the Chohongakji(招魂閣址) in Gyeryongsan, the fact that Yaeun Giljae(冶隱吉再, 1353~1419) built an altar with the monks of Donghaksa and held the first wedding ceremony for the Goryeo king and Jeong Mongju is also considered as a starting point for the study of original texts. As another hallmark, Sukmojeon(肅慕殿) is dealt with. This is a historical space in Joseon Dynasty that was built when King Sejo( 1417∼1468), who ascended to power in the wake of the Gyeyujeong Rebellion(癸酉靖難), dethroned King Danjong. This paper focuses on the point that the space of Donghak Samsa Temple cannot be viewed simply as a Confucian shrine. In other words, if we look at the aspects of the figures who are enshrined and sacrificed at Donghak Samsa, it shows a mixture of the Confucian rituals of the Joseon Dynasty and the Buddhist view of death and its rituals. Therefore, in this study, the history of ancestral rites of specific people in the space/place of Donghaksa Temple is primarily analyzed. In this process, it was possible to capture the continuous and alternating aspects of Confucian and Buddhist rituals or a mixture of these rituals.
