신라 사원의 田莊 운영과 국가

Abstract

This research reviewed the management of Silla's temple farms from both a national and religious perspective. The process of the Silla temple farms' formation, the government control of the management of the temple farms and the workings of the internal management of the temple farms were reviewed and compared with those of China and Japan. If the management of the latter period of the Silla's temple farm is compared with those of the same period of China and Japan, the characteristics of the Silla Kingdom was relatively stronger than those of China and Japan. The system of the Silla kingdom was more powerful and sustainable than that of China and Japan. Accordingly, the third powers such as powerful clans, aristocratic classes and the regional powers had less power in Silla than in China and Japan. It is clearly evident that the development of the powerful clans and the advent of Seon school in the latter part of the Silla kingdom have the historical significances. Even though the characteristics of the latter part of the Silla's temple farms have been emphasized merely as their transitional aspects, it is necessary for us to understand the characteristics in the historical perspective that the latter part is the extension of the middle period of the Silla.
