집안 마선비의 건립 연대 및 비문 단구 문제

Abstract

Last year, one monument(so called ‘Maxian monument’) was discovered at Maxian riverside, Ji'an city, China. The Chinese scholars claims based on the characters inscribed as ‘Muja(戊子)’ and ‘Jeonglyul(定律)’, that it was built in AD.388 by Kuanggyeto the Great, as an monument which herald the law about how handle the grave-caretakers enact, by the command of his late father, king Kogukyang. But such claims are often in doubt in many ways. According to my surveys ascertaining characters on that monument, there are the characters as ‘Jeongmyonyon Kanseok(丁卯年刊石)’ which means that it was built in AD.427 together with the characters as ‘Muja’ on the Maxian monument. Besides, unlike Chinese scholars’ claims there were not the characters as ‘Jeonglyul’ which means that enacts laws on it, and they also misread ‘sin(神)’ as ‘lyul(律)’. I wonder why Chinese scholars stick to only the characters as ‘Muja’ and ‘Jeonglyul’ with hiding the truth? If we accept Chinese scholars’ claims, then this monument might be older than the monument of Kuanggaeto the Great in AD.414, which is the oldest until now. But I am sure that it could not be done. If it is not older, then they don't have any reason to deny the presence of some characters or hide the truth. Of course, it is possible for us to tell this above conclusion under the premise that the Maxian monument is the genuine. But unfortunately there are too many doubts to believe that the monument is authentic. If they are really willing to demonstrate that the monument is authentic, first and foremost, they must open the monument and pursue research in collaboration with international partners. If not, they will become deeply embroiled in controversy over the monument in the future.
