중국 장백산 신성한 사물의 변천에 관한 연구

Abstract

In order to diachronically examine the transformation of the sacred things of Changbai Mountain China, based on historical sources, the study focused on the hierophany that occurred in the relationship between the religious culture of the peoples of the space of Changbai Mountain. The research results are summarized as follows. In the pre-Qing Dynasty era, the natural gods and animal gods of Changbai Mountain appeared as sacred objects, during the Jin Dynasty, the Changbai Mountain Shrine appeared as sacred objects, and during the Qing Dynasty, the mountain itself appeared as a sacred object and the Wangji Temple appeared as sacred objects. In modern times, the Bagua Temple and the Shanshenlaobatou were given divine status and regarded as sacred. Currently, when it is transformed into a tourist destination, the newly designated sacred objects only serve as tourist resources. The sacred area of Changbai Mountain expanded from an area where ethnic groups worked for survival during the pre-Qing Dynasty when it came under the imperial regime, and shrank into a living area for immigrants during the modern era. Now, as it has been transformed into a tourist destination, the sacred area has disappeared.
