This paper took Jeonkyeong (典經) of Daesunjinrihoe(大巡眞理會) as the basic text and studied how Kangjeungsan(姜甑山), the Sangje (上帝), had embraced Chinese myth in process of formation of his religious thought focusing on Yan Emperor(炎帝) Shennong(神農) myth and Shanrangang(禪讓) myth (namely Danchu myth). First when we examine the myth surrounding Kangjeungsan's birth, it deeply emraced a feeling-birth myth(感生神話), we could realize that this is a universe motif through myth of hero birth in East Asia. Further judging from the analysis of geographic space of Kangjeungsan's activity, it included a variety of mythical and Daoist related place names. I think this is because of the fact that birth place of Kangjeungsan and the surrounding area is the locality of Xian(仙) tradition where major characters of Danhak sect(丹學派) have been turned out, and that Korean way of Xian suppressed by the regulatory system has been widely rooted in the public. Especially it's interesting that Jeungsan, the pen name of Kangjeungsan, ambiguously connotes Siru mountain(甑山), a place of his training, and the spiritual realm of the 『Zhouyicantongqi(周易參同契)』. Then I examined the God of fire Shennong myth which has been actively admitted and embraced by Kangjeungsan. Kangjeungsan put the root of his pedigree on Shennong and there is a close affinity between Shennong and Dongyi(東夷) such as Buyeo(夫餘), Goguryeo(高句麗), etc. These Dongyi spirits are losers against the Chinese major myth and beings of ressentiment. At the same time the predecessor of Jiutianyingyuanleishengpuhuatianzun(九天應元雷聲普化天尊) who shares mythical characteristics with the God of fire Shennong was a formerly Taishi(太師) Wenzhong(聞仲) of Yin(殷) dynasty. He was defeated and died by Zhou(周) dynasty, and was deified. The fact that Kangjeungsan regarded himself as a descendent of Shennong and possessed divinity of Jiutianyingyuanleishengpuhuatianzun connotes that he represents all beings of ressentiment such as family of Yin and Dongyi. However, Kangjeungsan set a religious milestone by turning revenge for such ressentiment at tribe level into religious sublimation. At the end Shanrang myth which has been critically embraced by Kangjeungsan was reviewed. According to the existing Shanrang myth, Danchu(丹朱) was unworthy and not succeeded in the succession to the throne. Then good natured Emperor Shun(舜) succeeded to the throne from Emperor Yao(堯). However, the reality of Shanrang myth was a violent change of sovereign power and Danchu was a victim in the process of such violent change. Kangjeungsan shrewdly grasped the reality of ancient China and cast light on presence of Danchu. And he emphasized the need of religious sublimation of revenge, Haewon(解冤). His such awareness of culture had a close relation with revisionist standpoint of independent Danhak sect expressing a skeptical glance at systematic, commensurate and authentic historical view of Chinese civilization. And further Kangjeungsan cosmologically and causationally reinterpreted revenge of Danchu. He established a universal salvation theology which has a corresponsive connotation in regard to embracement of Shennong myth. In conclusion, embracement of Chinese myth by Kangjeungsan was a creative work of reinterpretation resulting in an inherent religious connotation through a process of appropriation, that is independent and selective introjection.

The concept of the public library defined by the Korean Library Association does not describe the current state of the Korean public library but describes the public libraries in the western society. Korean public library was formed after the western public library but it was modified and reconciled with the tradition of Korea. The difference between the concepts occured in the acculturation process of the Korean public library. According to the International Encyclopeadia of the Social Sciences, acculturation comprehends those phenomena which result when groups of individuals having different cultures come into continuous firsthand contact, with subsequent changes in the original cultural patterns of either of both groups. Korea opened its door to western world in 1876, and it began to contact with the western world. As the consequence, the concept of the public library of the West diffused to Lee Dynasty which were characterized by the confucianism and the extended family system. These two characteristics were against the public library concept and it could not function as it was and it had to be modified to fit to Korean society. The American public library was formed by the diffusion of English public library. The concept fitted in the colonial American society which was characterized by the Christianity and nuclear family system. Religion and family life were closely knitted together and they contributed much to the formation of the American public library. Also the society needed various information to form their new nation. The need of the public library grew and the public library repidly developed as the American society was urbanized and industrialized. The changes of Korean public library has passed the following process of acculturation. 1. The Korean culture contacted with Western world. 2. The public library concept diffused to Korea, but the people were illiterate and the need of the public library was for the preservation of the old books. The collection was not for people. 3. The function of the public library in Korea was altered slightly as several intellectuals who formed the first modern public library tried to literate Koreans as a means of liberation :from Japan through the library service. 4. The traditional libraries such as sodandg and hyangyo disorganized and finally disappeared as the traditional elements of the culture disappeared and the new cultural elements prevailed in Korea. 5. When the traditional elements of culture were disorganized, a reinterpretation of the diffused culture appeared. With the appearance of the vouth group which was not existed in the traditional society, cultural facilities for them were needed. They began to use public library as their reading rooms. This pattern has been institutionalized ever since in Korean public library. 6. When the new element of the culture spread, the traditional cultural elements react against this element. As the new public libraries sprung out, there were movements to restore the old Korean tradition of the family libraries and Hyangyo to counteract to the new libraries. This movements were not successful and they all disappeared as they could not keep up the rapid social change occurred in the Korean society. 7. In the process of the cultral change, cultural lag occurred between the public library and the users who could not adopt to the new library. This has been continued to the present time. 8. This diffused concept of the public library was modified and became native to Korean society. However, the acculturation of the public library concept has not changed the traditional ideas of Korean people and their behavior. The Korean society recently has been changing rapidly and the function of the Korean public library is improving accordingly; 1. The extended Korean family system is disorganizing. As the consequence, the public library could substitute the family system offering information and recreation service, etc. 2. The growth of educated population is requiring a variety of library materials. An individual library can not meet the needs of them and cooperative library service will be needed to share resources. The public library will become the center of the cooperative service. 3. The Koreans are watching TV more hours than they read printed materials. For them, the public library needs to collect audiovisual materials. Especially the teaching materials should be all audiovisualized for the effective teaching. 4. Technology is developing rapidly in Korea, especially computer technology is applied in many parts of the society. This will also influence library service. The public library will be developing as the centralized library computer system. When the Korean public library functions as the extended family system and the center of the cooperative library system, the Korean public library will be functioning as the public library defined by the Korean Library Association.

고대 유목문화 중 하나인 사카(Saka)문화는 유라시아 고대 문화 네트워크의 중요한 매개 역할을 하였던 것으로 평가받는다. 이들에 의해 조영된 카타르토베(Katartobe) 고분군에 대해 대한민국 국립문화재연구원과 카자흐스탄 국립박물관 문화유산연구소가 3년간 공동 발굴하였던 내용을 재해석해 보았다. 조사 과정에서 확인되었던 고고학적 자료들을 토대로 주변의 사카문화권에서 확인된 고분 조사 사례들과 비교·검토하여 카타르토베 고분군 축조 집단의 매장의례를 유추해 보고자 하였다. 그들은 매장의례 과정에서 동물을 함께 매장하기도 하고 제사를 지내기도 하며, 망자를 땅속에 묻고 불을 사용한 의식을 치르기도 하였다. 그리고 이러한 매장의례는 사카문화에 있어 중요한 부분이었음을 다른 유적 사례를 통해 확인하였다. 또한 당시 하나의 봉분 아래 다수의 목곽이 설치될 경우 대부분 동시에 매장이 이루어졌으며, 망자의 죽음 시점이 다를 때는 2차장인 세골장이 이루어졌다는 것도 간접적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 묘도가 발견된 경우도 있었는데, 이는 단지 매장을 위한 통로가 아닌 별도의 의식이 이루어지는 장소였음도 확인할 수 있었다. 그들의 삶에 있어 중요한 동반자 역할을 하였던 동물들도 쿠르간 내 출토되는 위치와 종류, 뼈에 나타난 흔적들을 통해 검토해보았다. 그 결과 매장 의례의 각 단계에서 서로 달리 사용됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 동물의 매장은 출토된 위치와 동물의 종, 뼈에 나타난 흔적을 통해 다양한 의미를 내포하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 부장토기들은 인근 사카문화계 고분군들과 비교해 본 결과 대부분의 비슷한 기종들이 공헌용기로 사용되었으며, 두향을 서쪽으로 하고 있는 피장자들의 두부(頭部)쪽을 중심으로 배치되는 양상을 보였다. 한편 족부(足部)가 위치하는 목곽 모서리에 토기를 한 점씩 배치하는 것은 카타르토베 고분군 축조집단의 독특한 매장의례였다. 현재 중앙아시아 쿠르간에 대한 조사자료가 다량 축적되지 않은 상태이기 때문에 성급한 일반화를 논하기는 어려운 단계이다. 실제로 하나의 유적 내에서도 일부 정형성이 있는가 하면 그 안에서도 다양성이 내재되어 있었다. 그러나 이러한 세세한 관찰과 연구가 지속된다면 고대 유라시아 문화 네트워크 주역들의 문화를 복원하는 데 큰 성과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.
