Abstract

Lee Geuk-ro(1893-1978) was an independent activist and Hangul scholar who practiced love of country and love of Hangul. He devoted himself to keeping the nation through the time of the loss of the country and the liberation period, and led the study and dissemination of Hangul with his firm beliefs. He also showed activities that could not be overlooked in the field of literature and religion, especially in his life, Daejonggyo had a great influence. Among his various writings, there are many articles related to Daejonggyo. This article aims to examine the meaning and characteristics of Haneollorae(한얼노래) which was published in June 1942. For this purpose, the writer examined the meaning and characteristics of Daejonggyo activities of Lee Geuk-ro and the subjects of Haneollorae. Especially, I examined the background and composition of creation of Haneollorae, and carefully examined the types and characteristics of it in terms of religious ceremony. The spiritual value of Daejonggyo faith was firmly established in the background of the study of Hangul in the time of the loss of the country, the activities of the Hangul society, and the anti-Japanese movement through it. In other words, his love of the country, his attachment to Hangul and writing, and his aspirations for realizing the ideals of our nation are derived from his relationship with Daejonggyo. In particular, he was a member of the Daejonggyo Council, and on June 10, 1942, he published Daejonggyo's song. These songs are lyrics that can give a glimpse of the faith of the drama and the faith of the country, and they contain the religious life, spiritual training, and religious ceremonies of Daejonggyo. First, in the tune related to ‘faith’ in Haneollorae, Lee Geuk-ro conveys the faith of Daejonggyo and the belief in Samsin, where he highlights all the three gods he speaks. He sings the joy of faith along with the indomitable will, sacrifice spirit, and praise for Daejonggyo. In this regard, the tune related to belief written by Lee Geuk-ro is said to contain his faith. Second, the tunes related to ‘cultivation’ in Haneollorae contain the spirit of training the two poles suitable for the Daejonggyo, and Daejongists have been practicing in daily life, imitating the performance of Na cheol. In Daejonggyo, it teaches to make a speech with a single meaning, or to make a speech with a single meaning. In this regard, the tune related to discipline written by Lee Geuk-ro enhances the cultivation of believers in religious life and everyday life. Third, in the tune related to ‘ceremonialism’ in Haneollorae, the godly ritual consciousness of Daejonggyo can be seen. The consciousness of Daejonggyo can be largely divided into good consciousness and worship ceremony. Therefore, the tune related to ceremonialism written by Lee Geuk-ro contains the daily religious consciousness of Daejonggyo believers. In the end, the spiritual value of Daejonggyo faith was firmly established in the background of the Hangul research, the activities of the Hangul society, and the anti-Japanese movement through it. Above all, the Daejonggyo related activities can be given special meaning in that they can be set as the typical of modern intellectuals during the time of the loss of the country and the liberation period. In addition, his multi-faceted activities make his history as an independent activist and Hangul scholar richer.
