문학속에 나타난 呂洞賓 보검의 이중상징

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims to assess the symbolic meaning of Lu Tung-pin's magic two-edged sword. Especially I focus the symbolic representation of Lu Tung-pin's sword as religious training meaning as well as secular meaning because of Tung-pin's Taoist name, ‘Chunyang(純陽)’. The Chunyang(純陽) has dual meaning; the one is a sexual ecstasy, the other is a religious ecstasy. Therefore, Lu Tung-pin's sword is symbolizing the desire of penis in secular meaning. In religious training meaning, the sword is symbolizing the controling of desire. More specifically, The first; Lu Tung-pin's sword is an emblem of cutting his sexual desire. the second; it is an emblem of tender wisdoms on the strong and weak ground as his sharp two-edged sword. Finally; it is an emblem of process for eternal life. However, Lu Tung-pin might have aroused no interest at all among scholars of classical literature because they can't say positively whether he is true or false. So Lu Tung-pin was regarded as one of Immortals(神仙) characterized by a smart appearance and magic two-edged sword. In this essay, I try to illuminate Lu Tung-pin as an internal alchemist and reformist for Taoism on the Neo-Confucianism and Zen Buddhism of Immortals in medieval China. In conclusion, magic two-edged sword of Lu Tung-pin can be an alternative as an idea to analyze the emblem of sword throughout the whole literary arts. Accepted as the inner alchemical thought of Taoism, this analysis regarding Lu Tung-pin's sword is expected to revaluate a humanist Lu Tung-pin beloved by the pragmatic Chinese. Lu Tung-pin is not a man who has attained the highest state of enlightenment, but he is in the religious training process with the Chinese people.
