智異山 山神에 관하여

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There have been a lot of going first studies about the God of JiRi mountain. Most of the studies have said that the Holy Mother of JiRi Mountain have been identified with the God of JiRi mountain. But it is almost impossible to identify the Holy Mother of the Holy Mother temple(Seong Mo Sa) with the Goddess of JiRi mountain. Because we can not study exact period(time) when the Holy Mother Temple(Seong Mo Sa)had established.

Existing studies explain The Holy Mother of JiRi mountain with three types greatly. First, She may be the Queen Wisuk, mother of the first King of Goryeo. Second, She may be Madame Maya, Buddha's mother. And third, she may be the Goddess of mountain who was married with Beobu Buddhist priest.

The first assumption that The Holy Mother may be Queen Wisuk is the most reasonable. Because the Holy Mother temple(Seong Mo Sa) had been bulit for taking advantage of the religion of the god of mountain, which had been popular beliefs, at the time to promote orthodox and authority of Goryeo Dynasty when The first King, Wangkeon had established Goryeo Dynasty.

Most scholar have negative opinions about second assumption that the Holy mother is Madame Maya because it is the most unfounded. But the reason that this assumpion is widespread is that so many people had believed in Buddhism in the age of the Goryeo and Buddhism and the belief of the God of mountain had never had any conflicts among the people, so these facts let us think that the Holy Mother is may be Madame Maya. And especially, at that time, people had called the God of JiRi mountain, the Grandmother Mayago or the Grandmother Mago. Because of such a similarty of pronunciation, we can think that the Holy Mother may be Madame Maya.

The third assumption that the Holy Mother is the Goddess of Mountain who was married with Beopu Buddhist priest, is a kind of traditional folk story. people made that The Holy Mother was mother and the noble Buddhist priest was father, and then they made the daughters who were bone between the two be shamans of all parts of country. So they were inseparably bound up each other. These facts show our religious reality of popular beliefs.

But these three assumptions only disclose the Holy Mother's identity, and we can not think that it disclose the God of Mountain's identity. It may not be unreasonable to think The Grandmother, Mago as a Goddess of Motain who is the object of popular belief, has known by hearsay for God of JiRi Mountain since old time. Because the grandmother's super characteristics were given in a lot of traditional tales about the god of Jiri Mountain, and in the tale, said that Beobu Buddhist priest was Banya Buddhist priest, her identity was disclosed with the Grandmother Mago.

I think that the gradmother Mago who was reported widely in traditional tales is the most suitable to the God of JiRi Mountain. Because the God of JiRi Mountain can not be limited by religious or histories while the Holy Mother of JiRi Mountain is kinds of limited historical characters like Queen Wisuk or Madame Maya.
