세종대~단종대의 정치 변동과 풍수지리－풍수가 목효지의 사례를 중심으로－

Abstract

This article illuminate political conflict and its meaning from the late stage of Se-jong(世宗) to the early stage of Dan-jong(端宗) through Mok-hyo-Ji’s feng shui theory. Mok-hyo-Ji(睦孝智) is one of the remarkable feng shui(風水) experts, but research on him has been rarely surveyed. Mok-hyo-Ji claimed in 1441(Se-jong 23th year) that the location of tomb of crown prince’s wife was inauspicious because it would possibly make Se-jong’s eldest son and his eldest grand son die early, that in 1448, the buddhist temple of Mun-so-jeon(文昭殿 佛堂) which Se-jong had meant to build would threaten the dynasty, and that in period of Dan-jong, the location of Hyeon-Reung(顯陵;Mun-jong’s Tomb) would weaken King’s power. Mok-hyo-Ji’s three opinion were all ignored, but his feng shui theory started to be focused since Mun-jong’s death because as his prediction, Se-jong and Mun-jong(文宗) died one after another after construction of the buddhist temple of Mun-so-jeon. Therefore the subjects who worried about Dan-jong’s ominous future planned to move Dan-jong’s residence to Chang-Duck palace(昌德宮) which was believed safe on the basis of feng shui theory. But the intention of subjects which would protect Dan-jong’s life faced the objection of Dan-jong’s eldest uncle Prince Su-yang(首陽大君). Prince Su-yang’s party wanted to let Dan-jong be under hard condition on feng shui theory. Jung-In-Ji(鄭麟趾) who didn’t find other place when water sprung through the place which was first planned as Mun-jong’s tomb and tried burying Mun-jong next to it was the head of prince Su-yang’s party. Mok-hyo-Ji’s claims have a simularity that is a feng shus’s countmove for Dan-jong. For example, he did not agree whenever others would select the location of tombs which would be those of parents of Dan-jong, and his claim on the buddhist temple of Mun-so-jeon had correlation with Dan-jong’s safety. Although he tried to protect Dan-jong, he died misfortunately because he was in opposition to prince Su-yang who wanted to become a king.
