ABSTRACT

Through this article, I want to examine the relationship between Jeongeupsa and Jeongeup's local culture, and to shed light on its works and the cultural and historical status of the area. It is not certain when Jeongeupsa is formed, whether Baekje or Goryeo. However, other Baekje pieces of Goryeo Dynasty that introduce this work are also more than half of them after the Unified Silla Period. Therefore, the date of formation of Jeongeupsa cannot be regarded as Baekje solely based on it. Rather, we should pay attention to the characteristics of the locality, female writers and the themes of love shown in these Baekje books. These are the things that Baekjeyo shares with the Goryeosokyo, in contrast to Silla Hyanga's central, masculine and religious orientation in the Seoul metropolitan area. In addition to Jeongeupsa, the Baekje Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms passed on its own tradition of contrasting with its flavor to the Goryeosokyo. As the foundation of Jeongeupsa in Jeongeup area, stone pagodas and ancient tombs need to be reconsidered. Five of the 37 existing Baekje-style stone pagodas remain in Jeongeup, the largest single area. It also appears evenly in the 11th and 14th centuries, revealing that Jeongeup was continuing the homogeneity of Baekje until this time. And through the remnants of Mahan culture reflected in many ancient tombs, you can see that Jeongeup's cultural identity spans Mahan and Baekje. Now beyond the debate over the creation period of Jeongeupsa, we need to pay more attention to its identity as a cultural heritage in Jeongeup.
