  • 우리나라 제주도에는 바다를 통해 전달된 수평적 신화가 널리 분포하고, 가족 내에서 여성의 사회적 지위가 상대적으로 높고, 민가 역시 한반도 민가와 건물배치, 난방 취사 분리, 거주유형 등에서 확연한 차이를 보여, 민가형성에 북방문화 외에 다른 문화의 전래도 있었음을 짐작할 수 있다. 이러한 의문을 해결하기 위해서 한반도의 남해안과 제주도 이남에 펼쳐진 동중국해(혹은 동지나해)에 접한 민가를 비교하였다. 쿠로시오가 흐르고 계절풍이 부는 동중국해 지역에는 대륙의 북방문화뿐만 아니라 단속적이지만 바다를 통한 남방문화가 복합화되어 이곳 주문화권만의 특색을 이루었다. 이에 가신들이 좌정하는 성역을 통해 동중국해 민가에 나타나는 남방문화의 특성을 살펴보았다. 첫째, 동중국해 지역에는 해양과 관련된 수평적 신화가 주류를 이루고, 척박한 자연화경으로 반농반어 반농반채 등 이중적 생계수단을 지닌다. 가족구성은 전체적으로 모계 쌍계사회의 특성이 강한 연령계제제의 남방계 특성이 잔존하면서도, 외부적으로 대륙북방계에 원류를 두고 있는 가부장권의 특성이 상류계층과 도시에 나타나는 이중체계를 유지한다. 그래서 주택구조는 종적위계 남녀구별의 수직적 공간구성 대신에 세대별 기능별에 따른 수평적 공간구성을 이룬다. 둘째, 동중국해 지역은 정령신앙 조상숭배를 기반으로 한 토속신앙으로 가신들은 여성 농경 불과 관련성이 깊다. 부엌에서는 화신(조왕신), 곡창에서는 곡령신, 측간에서는 측신을 섬겼는데, 이들은 대부분 여신이고 사제도 주부들이 담당하였다. 이후 한 중 일 본토에서 불교 유교가 들어오면서 기존 여성중심의 무속의례에 남성중심의 불교 유교의례가 공존하는 이중적 성역을 이룬다. 셋째, 동중국해 지역에서 조왕신, 조령신, 측신들을 모시는 곳을 통해 별동형 부엌, 곡창, 돼지뒷간 등이 별동으로 존재했다가 점차 주택내로 흡수되는 것을 알 수 있고, 이는 건축기술의 발달과 생활양식 변화에 연유하였다. 또 곡창 돼지 뒷간의 고상식은 중국남부 경로와 별동형 부엌과 화신의 성격은 남양 경로와 관련이 있는 등 해양문화의 혼합성이 나타난다. 그러나 별동형 부엌 곡창 돼지 뒷간에 석재의 사용은 동중국해권 주문화권만의 특징이라고 하겠다.

  • 창덕궁 후원의 부용정(芙蓉亭)은 독특한 평면형태, 공간구성, 건물의 장식 등이 뛰어난 비례와 대비를 이루고 있는 점을 인정받아 2012년 3월 2일에 보물 제1763호로 지정되었다. 그러나 지정사유가 형이하학적으로 평가되었고, 그마저도 왜 지금과 같이 독특한 형태로 조영되었는지 명확하게 규명하지 못하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 역사적 배경을 바탕으로 자연철학 및 사상에 관한 형이상학적 접근을 시도하였고, 조영의도와 공간구조의 특징을 규명하여 부용정의 정체성을 찾는데 주력하였다. 요약된 결과는 아래와 같다. 첫째, 부용정의 조영배경 및 특징: 정조는 즉위와 함께 창덕궁 후원에 규장각(奎章閣)을 창설하고 개혁정치의 일환으로 초계문신(抄啓文臣)을 양성하였다. 또한 각신(閣臣)들을 가인(家人)처럼 우대해주며 친정체계를 구축하였다. 정조의 적극적인 개혁정치는 신하들에게 후원을 구경시켜주기는 계기가 되었으며, 정조 16년(1792)에 각신을 중심으로 한 내각상조회(內閣賞釣會)를 공식적으로 발족하고 후원유람을 정례화하게 되었다. 후원유람은 꽃을 보고 낚시를 하는 상화조어연(賞花釣魚宴), 난정수계의 활동 등으로 이루어졌고, 이후 국가의 대신들이 참석하게 되면서 큰 행사로 발전하게 되었다. 정조는 대신, 중신, 각신들과 이러한 문화 활동을 함께하고 나아가 자신의 왕도정치를 실현할 장소로써 부용정을 조영한 것이었다. 둘째, 부용정의 입지와 공간적 특성: 정조는 즉위(1776)와 함께 택수재를 새롭게 개축하였다. 무엇보다 개유와-택수재-원도-어수문-규장각을 축선에 맞춰 연계한 점은 자신의 정치적 이상을 실현하기 위해 현재의 규장각 일원을 계획-설계한 것으로 판단할 수 있다. 정조 17년(1793)에는 기존의 사우정(四隅亭) 형태였던 택수재를 군신(君臣)이 함께할 수 있는 공간으로 조성하기 위해 위계를 두어 증축하고 부용정이라 칭하였다. 지당 위에 위치한 부용정의 북쪽공간은 임금의 공간으로 다른 곳보다 한 단 높게 조성하였고 창호도아자살로 차별화한 특징을 보인다. 서쪽과 동쪽은 신하들의 공간이다. 중앙공간은 양측의 신하들이 북쪽공간에 입어한 임금을 배알하기 위해 마련된 공간이며, 서쪽과 동쪽의 신하들은 부용정의 귀퉁이 공간을 돌아 남쪽공간에서 중앙공간으로 입실하게 되는 구조로 조영되었다. 결국 부용정은 최소한의 공간으로 편전(便殿)의 기능까지 수행할 수 있도록 설계된 정원건축물인 것이다. 셋째, 부용정의 문화적 가치: 부용정 일원은 세조, 인조, 현종, 숙종, 정조 등 왕들의 사유적인 정원문화가 복합적으로 존재하며 꾸준히 발전된 특징을 보인다. 특히 정조는 선왕들이 조성해놓은 다양한 물리적, 사회적, 상상적 환경 등을 계승하였고 더불어 자신의 왕도정치를 위해 신하들을 후원에 불러들였으며 그 중추적 장소로 부용정을 완성한 것이다. 곧 부용정은 조선왕조의 영속성이 반영된 정원건축물로 그 가치를 높게 평가할 수 있으며, 공간적으로도 유교사상이 정자에 반영되어 위계가 구분된 독특한 사례로써 왕의 정원에서만 나타나는 특수성을 잘 보여주고 있다.

  • Khori(高麗) refers to the Chaabog(reindeer) that live on lichens(蘚) on Mt. Soyon(鮮) in which pastures are the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia. Thus, the origin region of the Khori or Koguryo that are the ancestors of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads(馴鹿 遊牧民) can be said to be the Steppe-Taiga-Tundra pastoral areas of North Eurasia and North America. When the pastoral nomads moved on to the great mountain(大山) zone of the Jangbaek(長白) to the Baekdu(白頭) Mountains, they could have been in contact with pastoral farmers or agricultural farmers living there and they became the farmers remaining on agricultural farms. They were the Koryo people, the ancestors of Korea. Staying in one place, they gradually forgot the origin of their reindeer-herding pastoral nomadic history in the Northwest area of Mt. Soyon, the small mountain(小山) zone of the Steppe-Taiga-Tundra pastoral areas. In other words, they lost their identity as reindeer-herding pastoral nomads when they entered the agricultural area after leaving the pastoral area. However, since their basic genes had already formed when they lived on the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia, it is possible to study their pastoral nomadic history focusing on 'the minority living in the broad area(廣域少數)', by utilizing highly advanced biotechnological science and focusing on genes and information technology innovation, and removing various past hindrances in research. Therefore, it is not so difficult to restore the reindeerherding pastoral nomadic history of the Koguryo(高句麗) people and secure their pastoral nomadic identity, of which the first steps have already been taken into their historical stages. The Eurasian continent and the Korean peninsula, especially the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia and the Korean peninsula have been closely related to each other ecologically and historically. They can never be a separate space at all. The Eurasian continent lies horizontally east to west and thus, the continent forms an isothermal zone. Also, since the time of producing their own foods, it was relatively easy for people with their technology to move to other places owing to the pastoral nomadic characteristic of mobility. Unlike the Chungyen(中原) region, western Asia and the regions covering the Siberia-Manchu-Korean peninsula where food production revolution was first made were connected to the Mongolian lichens route(蘚苔之路: Ni, ukinii jam) and steppe roads. Although the ecological conditions of nature have changed a bit throughout a long history, it was natural for the many tribes in North Asia living on the largest Steppe-Taiga-Tundra area in the world to have believed 'the legends related to animals in relation to their founders and ancestors(獸祖傳說)'. Assuming that Siberian tigers and the tigers living on Mt. Baekdu were connected ecologically and genetically because of the ecological characteristics of the animals, and their migration from plateau to plateau, we would suspect that the Chosun(朝鮮) tribe living on Mt. Baekdu were ethnically and culturally more closely connected to the farther removed Ural-Altai tribes that lived on the cold and dry plateau region than to the Han(i14;) tribe who lived in Chungyen(中原) that was close to Mt. Baekdu. More evidence is the structure of the Korean language which has the form of 'Subject + Object + Verb', which is assumed to have originated from the speedy lifestyle of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads. The structure is quite different from that of the Han(漢) language, which is based on agricultural life. Also, it is natural for reindeer riding reindeerherding pastoral nomads or horse-riding sheep-herding pastoral nomads(騎馬, 羊遊牧民) to have held military and political power over the region and eventually to have established an ancient pastoral nomadic empire in the process of their conquest of agricultural regions. The stages for founding global empires in the history of mankind maybe largely divided into two, in terms of ecological conditions and occupations. They are the steppes and the oceans. Of course, the steppe-based empires were established based on the skills to deal with horses and the ability to shoot arrows while riding horses, along with the use of iron ware in the 8th century BC. The steppe-based empires became the foundation for an oceanic empire, which could have been established by the use of warships and warship guns since the 15th Century. Based on those facts, we know that Chosun, Puyo(夫餘), and Koguryo are the products of a developmental process of pastoral nomadic empires on the steppes. Maybe we can easily find the pastoral nomadic identity of the Koguryo more than we expected when we trace the origins and history of the Korean tribe living in the pastures located in the northwest area of Mt. Jangbaek by focusing on pastoral nomadic mobility and organization just as we have investigated the historic origins of Anglo-Saxons in America by focusing on the times before the 15th Century. In the process, we should keep in mind that English culture originated from the Industrial Revolution and was directly delivered to the American continent, although America was far from England and was not an intermediate point on long sojourns either. Further, American culture came back to England in a more advanced form later. The most important thing currently to be resolved is to cause Koreans to look back on their own history in a freer way of thinking and with diverse, profound, and sharp insight, taking away the old and existing conventional recognition that is entangled with complicated interests with Korean people and other countries. The meanings of Chosun, Khori, and Solongos have been interpreted arbitrarily without any historic evidence by the scholars who followed conventional tradition of fixed-minded aristocrats in an agricultural society. If the Siberian cultural properties of the stone age, the earthenware age, the bronze age, and the iron age are analyzed in such a way, archaeological discovery will never be able to contribute to the restoration of the Koguryo's pastoral nomadic identity. One should transcend the errors that tend to interpret the cultural properties discovered in the pastoral nomadic regions as not being differentiated from those of agricultural regions and just interpret them altogether from the agricultural point of view. A more careful intention is required in the interpretation of cultural properties of ancient Korean empires that seem to have been formed due to mutual interactions of pastoral nomadic and agricultural cultures. Also, it is required that the conventional recognition chain of 'reverse-genes' be severed, which has placed more weight on agricultural properties than pastoral nomadic ones, since their settlement on agricultural farms was made after the establishment of their ancient pastoral nomadic empires. There is no reason at all to place priority on stoneware, earthenware, bronze ware, and iron ware than on wooden ware(木器) and other ware which were made of animal skins(皮器), bones and horns(骨角器), in analyzing the history in the regions of reindeer or sheep pastures. Reading ancient Korean history from the perspective of pastoral nomadic history, one feels strongly the instinctive emotions to return to the natural 'mother place'. The reindeer-herding pastoral nomadic identity of the Koguryo people that has been accumulated in volumes in their genes and hidden deep inside and have interacted organically could be reborn with Burqanism(Burqan refers to 不咸 in Chinese), which was their religion by birth and symbolized as the red willow(紅柳=不咸). The mother place of the Koguryo's people is the endless vast green pastures of North Eurasia and North America, where we anticipated the development of Korean livestock farming following the inherent properties in the genes of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads with Korean ancestors. We anticipate that the place would be the core resource that could contribute to the development of life of living creatures following the inherent properties of their genes and biotechnological factors. In other words, biotechnology used for a search for clues on the well-being of humans could be the fruit brought by Burqanism of the Koguryo people and the fruit of the globalization of Korean livestock farming. It is the Chosun farmer in China come from the vast nomadic reindeer pastures of North Eurasia that resolved the food problem of a billion Chinese people with lowland paddy rice seeds (水稻) by transforming Heilongjiang Province(黑龍江省) into an oceanic lowland paddy rice field(水田). Even Mao Tse-tung(毛擇東) could not resolve the food problem by his revolution campaigns for tens of years. Today is the very time that requires the development of special livestock farming following the inherent properties of the ancient Korean reindeer-herding pastoral nomads that respected the dignity of life on the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia and the America continent. I suggest that research should be started from the pastures of the Dariganga Steppe in East Mongolia that was the homeland of Hanwoo(韓牛) and the central horse-herding steppe place(牧馬場) of Chingis Khan's Mongolia. The Dariganga Steppe is awash with an affluent natural environment for pastoral nomadic living however, the quality of life of the pastoral nomads there is still low. I suggest we Koreans, the descendents of the Koguryo, should take our first steps for our livestock farming business project and develop the Northern nomadic pastures, here at the pastures of the Dariganga Steppe, which is the Mongolian core place of state-of-the-art technology for military weapons.
