ABSTRACT

This paper studies thoughts on fate of the group which enjoyed Woncheongang(袁天綱) Bonpuri. To reveal the uniqueness of the thoughts on fate, I pay attention to different points with Man Traveling to Seek Fortune Folk-tales. Both of these stories are a journey back to the starting point and it has the going-and-coming and problem-solving narrative structure that responds. I see Woncheongang Bonpuri’s peculiarities which differ from Man Traveling to Seek Fortune Folk-tales at the beginning and end of the itinerary. The motive for Onuri to leave her parents is initial situation. The ending to become the goddess to write Wonchengan is her last situation. As a result of the trip, she becomes a sacred women. So this paper find the ontological change of Onuri is found in the Woncheongang, the mysterious river. The river has a meaning as a place to watch time and to see fate. Finally, this paper examine the knowledge of the river was a local knowledge shared in the Jeju island by this group. This group thought on the fate that the episteme and practice was the same. They believed the inexplicable experience of life is due to the ignorance of Palzha(八字), and they can overcome the hardship of life with knowledge of Palzha.
