Between various ideological experiences, such as spatial, artistic and religious experiences, a consistent and transcendental sense exists, which is difficult to systemize or establish, in all the senses human beings experience. It shows that the depth of essence may be much deeper than that of religion or science in limits of humans' thinking and experiences. On the premise that we need to rationally understand and systemize such a sublime experience, it is thought that we will be able to expand the system of our senses through a new approach breaking away from the previous concepts used to interpret a spatial experience. Rudolf Otto, a German philosopher and comparative religion scholar, explains such an essential sense through Numinose Theory. As his theoretical analysis and approach are used to explore the mechanism of such a transcendental emotion, which is impossible to express with such words as 'sanctity', 'sublimity' and 'reverence', from various perspectives, but intend to exclude dogmatic logic. Therefore, they seem to become new and useful tools in aesthetically understanding space design and objects of arts. Thus, this study aims to examine what value Numinose Theory has in the aspect of understanding space design, based on which this study intends to use the Numinose concept as a concept of interpreting 'Jongmyo Jeongjeon'.

Typology of religious organization is a useful analysis from the stand point of sociology of region. A study on the change of type of religious organization according to typology is a academic responsibility. This study can also make a religion prepare theoretical shape for the future of the religion. Although Daesoonjinrihoe now becomes a established sect, Daesoonjinrihoe should retain characteristics as a alternative sect. This feature as a alternative sect is an important identity of Daesoonjinrihoe which was established to criticize and overcome established sect. Dotongjingyeong is an ideal world of Daesoonjinrihoe. The foundation of Dotongjingyeong as an ideal world is essential value and reason of existence of Daesoonjinrihoe. For this reason, Daesoon jinrihoe should not just maintain its position but lead to reach the Dotongjingyeong here and now. Dotongjingyeong which should be built here and now is beyond Daesoonjinrihoe as a religious organization, because Dotongjingyeong is new heaven and new earth. Daesoonjinrihoe should put an guard against trial and error through change of type. Otherwise, Daesoonjinrihoe can not retain characteristics as an alternative sector. Now Daesoonjinrihoe may be at a revolutionary turning point for the foundation of Dotongjingyeong.

This article explores religious responses to significant cultural and social change in a northern Vietnamese delta village from 1996 to 2008-the second decade after de-collectivization. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork in both the village and surrounding religious networks, the article teases out the meanings of the new religious movements for northern rural people in the new era of market economy; the symbols, language, and metaphoric resources people used in response to their uncertainty and mistrust of the new social landscape; and the unintended consequences of rapid societal development such as marginalization, tensions, and social disintegration. The article argues that as in milleniarism elsewhere, new religious movements in northern rural Vietnam embody unorthodox syncretism between world religious and local traditions, thus linking past, present, and future. However, when drawing upon a common reservoir of memories and experiences to cope with risks and challenges of the new market world, local people not only drew on the power and imperial metaphor of deities in their traditional religion and belief, but became more creative to recuperate meanings, standards, and symbols from revolutionary discourse to reorient themselves, and overcome alienation and marginalization.

이 연구는 우리나라의 근대 신종교의 핵심 사상인 개벽사상에 대한 상호 비교를 통해 개벽사상의 총체적 특징들과 그 의미들을 밝히는 것을 목적으로 한다. 지금까지의 대부분의 연구의 한계점은 신종교 각각의 개벽사상에 대한 단편적 연구에만 머물러 있다는데 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 먼저 주역의 우주론적 시간관을 포괄하는 철학적 관점에서 개벽사상을 구명해보았다. 그리고 이러한 방법론적 기초 위에서 기존의 연구 성과를 정리하여 동학과 정역, 원불교, 그리고 강증산 각각의 개벽사상의 전개 과정과 성격을 살펴보았다. 그리고 각 개벽사상을 비교 분석하여 서로간의 공통점과 차이점을 정리해보았다. 신종교 창교자들은 자신들이 살았던 시점을 기준으로 선천과 후천의 획기적 전환 즉 천지와 자연의 운도(運度)의 커다란 변화가 이루어진다고 보았다. 운도론의 개념은 원시반본(元始返本)하는 우주자연의 운도에 따른 변화 양상을 설명하는 것과 같은 개념인데, 후천개벽사상 속에는 이러한 내용과 개념들이 고스란히 들어와 있다. 이 논문에서는 이 같은 선천후천 전환의 운도론적 관념이 수운(水雲), 일부(一夫), 소태산(少太山), 증산(甑山)의 교설 속에 상당히 많이 나타나있음을 밝혔다. 신종교 개벽사상에서의 선천은 인간의 한계상황을 대변하는 위기의 세계이며, 후천은 그 한계상황을 절대자의 힘 또는 극적인 우주변화로 인해 실현된 종교적 이상세계를 뜻한다. 그렇기에 개벽사상은 내일의 이상세계의 도래를 바라는 일종의 우주론적 말세론이며 종교적 역사관이다. 또한 우주론적 말세론은 일종의 시간관이며 역사관이기 때문에 필연적으로 그것에 포함되어 있는 선천과 후천이 각각 얼마나 기나긴 시간을 가졌는가 하는 문제를 지니게 된다. 그리고 특히 선천과 후천에서 사회의 조건들과 인간의 삶이 어떻게 달라지는가 하는 내용을 전제하게 된다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 우주론적 차원의 시간관에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 이러한 문제들에 대한 각각의 신종교에서 밝히고 있는 답변 내용들을 나열하고 비교 분석해보았다. 수운은 초월적 존재라 할 수 있는 하늘님과의 접신을 통해 구원의 메시지를 전달하는 사명을 맡았고, 일부는 역학적 원리를 통해 선천을 넘어서는 후천 세계의 도래를 밝혔으며, 소태산은 그 후천의 시대를 맞이하고 살아가기 위한 정신개벽론을 제기한 것으로 볼 수 있으며, 증산은 그와 같은 후천을 만들고 가져다주는 절대자임을 선언하였던 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to offer basic data on family rite education, as well as to suggest future directions for family rites by surveying differences in the understanding and the practice of family rites among female undergraduates, who will be the future leaders of our society. General proclivity toward, and differences between understanding and practice of family rites, as well as the effect of socio-demographic variables on these differences, were further verified with a one-way ANOVA, a t-test, and a Duncan's Multiple Range Test. This study had two main findings. First, the gap between understanding and practice in family rites, ordered from largest to smallest by sub-sphere, was found to be: coming-of-age ceremonies, birthday rituals, ancestral rituals, funeral rites, and wedding ceremonies. Second, as for the results of the analysis of the difference between understanding and practice of family rites in female undergraduates according to socio-demographic variables, among a total of 18 variables, significant differences were found in: own religion, brother's rank, mother's religion, father's religion, mother's job, place where the individual grew up, having experienced family rites, education. place of residence, and monthly income. In the face of a changing era and environment, the basic spirit of family rites has not changed. However, a new harmony between tradition and modem times is needed. This can be achieved through the establishment of a suitable form of rites for the present age, while taking on a modem acceptance of the significance traditionally associated with these rites.

This article is a compilation of civilizational crises and their overcoming from the worldview of Daesoon Jinrihoe, based on the premise that religion can offer advice on the crises faced by modern civilization. It is a reinterpretation of human history from a religious perspective, focusing on mutual contentions, grievances, grudges, and their overcoming. Daesoon Jinrihoe explains that modern civilizational crises were first recognized by divine beings in the 18th and 19th centuries, and then later recognized by humans in the 20th and 21st centuries. Unable to resolve the civilization crises, the divine beings asked the Supreme God to intervene in human history, and the Supreme God was born in a human body to reveal the root causes and development of various civilizational crise sand to propose solutions to overcome them. These solutions encompass setting the world aright and ushering in a new era through the Reordering Works of Heaven and Earth (天地公事), attaining enduring peace by practicing grievance resolution for mutual beneficence (解冤相生), and reconstructing the relationship between divine beings and humans in harmonious coexistence. Devotees hold that Daesoon Jinrihoe is a religion that originated as a solution to a problem faced by God rather than humankind. As such, it considers the crises of civilization and their overcoming as the reason for existence. According to the religion's worldview, the Supreme God has already provided the solution to these civilizational crises. With a tip of the hat to the film Interstellar (2014), it could be said, "God Found a Way. He Always Has." Now, Daesoon Jinrihoe posits that it is up to humans to implement the way that God found.

Foreign culture, introduced by cultural exchange, was modified and accepted into a new form and value system. Culture speaks for the characters of the period, so it is presented by the mutual actions of many factors affecting culture. Religion is the essence of human life and the source of ideas about life, the universe and existence, so they become hidden inside of the structure of culture. Dancing costumes present the process of cultural modification and acceptance more vividly than general costumes. This research shows that, among foreign cultures, it is Buddhism that most influenced Chinese dancing costume. Taoism was the Chinese native religion that played an oppositional role against Buddhism. Taoism was hidden in Chinese dancing costume in every age. Chinese dancing costume changed many times due to the import of exotic styles such as Buddhism that partially replaced the Taoistic tradition. Therefore, it is confirmed that the process of cultural importation of exotic style was different according to the social, historical, and cultural backgrounds of China during the period from the Han to the Sui and Tang dynasties.
