<원왕생가>와 삼층 석탑의 구조적 상동성

Abstract

WonWangsaeng-Ga is a work of the involving type of 10 lines Hyang-Ga. This poem has been exquisitely constructed by spatial structure of meaning. The poetic I on earth asks the moon moving toward west to speak his story in front of the buddha in heaven. In his story the composition between earth and heaven is obviously figured in a form of the praying poetic I looking up the buddha on upper seat. According to this spatial composition the temporal meaning of past, present and future is aggregated. In this structure of meaning the spatiality shows remarkable features. Through analysis of this poem the structure of three stairs of meaning unit is appeared. The 3 paragraphs 4-4-2 lines of 10 lines Hyang-Ga are constructed with the way of involving paragraph. And the structure is constructed with a course of making theme concrete. The core word is posed in the center of second paragraph, and the key words are wrapping the core word. So WonWangsaeng-Ga is a poem having structure of complex layers. We could find the structural similarity between this poem and three storied stone stupa. In the early period of great Shilla when the poet lived, the style of stone stupa were establishing. These stupa shared the contemporary symbolism and senses of beauty with WonWangsaeng-Ga. The way to make space in anywhere among three stories for setting crystals come from buddha’s body is related to the core word set in the center of second paragraph of the poem. The way to stick an iron pole into third story of stupa is connected with the coherent theme forward heaven of the poem. The rhythmical feeling from pilling up three stories with cube stones and roof stones is compared with the rhythmical sense of the poem. Comparative study between literature and formative art shows the way of understanding cultural senses and aesthetic consciousness. With this study we can understand not only literature but also formative art.
