동북아 상고시기 신단(神壇)의 존재유형과 문화적 함의

Abstract

This paper examines the type of existence and its cultural significance of the sacred monument that existed during the ancient period of Northeast Asia. The largest new altar type was the Hongsan ruins of Inner Mongolia, which consists of altars, shrines, and tombs, and the Ganghwa Chamseongdan on the Korean Peninsula. In the case of the Hongsan area, an aspect reflecting the political intention of highlighting strong sacredness was read. In the case of the Chamseongdan, it also suggested an inference that it expressed a sacred uterus that conceived life, reflecting the sacred consciousness of repaying the root. Subsequently, as a second-highest type of new foundation, Daegok-ri Petroglyphs in Ulsan and Cheonjeon-ri Petroglyphs in Korea suggested a differentiated, exclusive, selective sacred space and an open and open sacred space. In addition, dolmens and menhir were examined in the small and medium-sized construction type, and the ceremonial scenes carved on the side walls were examined. As for other types of movable variable, we looked at the bronze altar of the Samseongtoe Ruins, which is drawing attention as an archaeological survey, and paid attention to the symbolism of the new animal.
