7～8세기 唐, 新羅, 日本의 國家祭祀體系 비교

Abstract

In the 7th～8th century, Tang, Shilla, and Japan aimed at the centralized domination system through the statutes. This system was characterized by the unification and concentration of authority and power, or the unitary formation of all degrees of political power. Setting the Ye(禮, ritual) system was of much importance in the confucian statutes system because authority and power were expressed by Ye in confucianism. In addition, as the rite brought about religious authority, it was the core of Ye system. Tang, Shilla, and Japan set the state rite system in the 7th～8th century, too. Shilla and Japan wanted to systemize the existing national rite system by accepting Tang's statute­oriented national rite system. However, according to circumstances of each states it produced different results. Three kingdoms aimed the same ideology in the same periods. But the state rite system to realize the ideology was different. This difference was caused by the basic religious and ideal differences, and the political, social, and economical situational differences.
