高麗의 佛敎와 融合된 社會構造 = Buddhistic Effect on Social Structure in Koryoˇ period

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Buddhism was introduced into Korea in the fourth century. It immediately assumed the national religion and influenced the social systems of family and kinship in the Koryo˘ period when it played a greater role than earlier. Buddhist monks were honored as national preceptors and royal preceptors, who restrained secular power in such capacity. Buddhism had a greater influence on people's life than in any period in Korean history.
This Buddhist idea of retribution undermind the idea of patrilineal kinship while strengthening the hosizontal kinship of matrilineal and matrimonial relation. Buddhist beliefs influenced the life from cradle to grave, especially funeral and memorial services. Burial and memorial services were help at Buddhist temples. More importantly, mutual aid groups and foundations were organized to cover such expenses. Such organizations had their centers at Buddhist temples and their membership was based on patrilineal, matrilineal and matrimonial relations. This reflected the patterns of inhernitance and kinship in the Koryo˘ period.
In late Koryo˘, the Buddhist memorial service declined with the adoption of Neo-Confucianism. As time passed, the memorial service came to be help at the family altar by the eldest son. In the middle Choso˘n period, the portion of inheritance for the eldest son increaed for his charge of the memorial service; it was primogeniture. The patrilineal kinship also became more important than in the Koryo˘ period.
