6세기 신라 大等 성격에 대한 검토 -진흥왕대 비문 분석을 중심으로-

Abstract

Daedeung(大等) has been commonly considered as a general title of a subject group, an upper grade group or a high official ranking. However, according to Juk Sung Monument, changnyeong Monument, Mawunlyung Monument that are found Daedeung, it is difficult to extract any feature and criteria about Daedeung because there are various numbers, official lights, and roles of Daedeung. It is only by clarifying the criteria on which Daedeung has been organized that it can properly define the nature of Daedeung. An analysis of the three Epigraphics shows that Daedeung is not a fixed group, but a temporary group composed differently by the king according to matters. Basically, Cheng's role seems to be to oversee the matter so that it can be resolved well between the king and other officials. The lower limit of the official ranking is not apparent and the spectrum is broad, which means that there was a class directly responsible for practice within the Daedeung. The date of its emergence can be seen prior to the establishment of Sangdaedeung(上大等), as it has been divided into Modaedeung(某大等), and is presumed to be the reign of the Beopheung Dynasty. In the process of dissolving the Bu-system(部體制) and moving on to managing state affairs centered on the king, It may be seen as a group that has undergone a series of reforms. As the process of centralization of the Jinheung Dynasty was accelerated, matters that had to be dealt with gradually became complicated and tasks that needed expertise occurred, Temporarily constructed Daedeung was separated and stuck in a government position called Modaedeung. Since then, it is likely that Daedeung has gradually disappeared. In other words, it is a political force of the 6th century based on the king's close interests at a time of transition when the king's political power is strengthened.
