兩派六宗은 철학적 차이로 인해 구분된 학파들을 가리키며, 각 학파들은 철학적 관점으로부터 연역된 卦辭, 爻辭, 象辭 등의 文義를 해석하는 해석방법론의 차이를 가지고 있다. 정약용은 易詞를 해석하는 방법으로 易理四法, 三易, 「讀易要旨」의 18則을 제시했다. 이에 대한 개괄적인 설명과 더불어 3부분으로 구성된 해석방법론의 위상과 상호관계에 대해 탐색한다. 이를 위해 文理와 易理라는 두 개념을 방법적으로 구분한다. 주역은 문자언어와 卦象과 爻象이라는 상징언어가 합쳐져 있는 경전이며, 茶山 丁若鏞(1762~1836)은 易詞란 이러한 象으로부터 생겨난다는 상수역학적 관점을 가지고 있기 때문이다. 18칙의 범주적 이해는 정약용 역학의 고유한 것에 속하는 역리사법과 관련해서 1)推移와 爻變에 관련된 4개 규칙, 2)物象과 관련된 7개 규칙 등으로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 여기에 역리사법의 互體는 18칙과 구체적인 관계를 맺고 있지 않았다. 3)역리 일반과 관련된 5개 규칙은 주로 易詞의 기본 구조와 의미 구조에 대한 것이었다. 그리고 4)문리와 관련된 2개 규칙이 있다. 18칙은 역리사법, 삼역 등과 완전히 정합적이지는 않지만, 역철학적 관점에 따라 수미일관한 체계성을 갖춘 해석 규칙이다. Two schools and six sects(兩派六宗)’ refers to schools divided by the philosophical differences, which have the methodological differences of interpreting the meaning of Zhouyi’s phrases such as the judgement, the lines, the image deduced from the philosophical viewpoints. Jeong Yag-yong(丁若鏞) presents four methods of interpretation of Zhouyi(易理四法), three changes(三易), and eighteen interpretation rules(18則) as a methodology of interpreting Zhouyi’s phrases. This essay is to aim at giving a general description on them and examines their position and mutual relationship of interpretive methodology which consists of three parts. For the purpose of doing this, this essay will make a methodical division into wenli(文理) and yili(易理). Because Zhouyi is the Classic that combined a written language and a symbolic language such as guaxiang(卦象) and yaoxiang(爻象), and Jeong Yakyong(丁若鏞) has the emblemo-numerological views that Zhouyi’s phrases are formed from these emblems(xiang). Categorical understandings on the eighteen interpretation rules may be divided, in connection with four methods of interpretation of Zhouyi that belongs to Jeong Yakyong’ unique interpretive method, such as 1)two rules related with the Tuiyi(推移, hexagram transformation) theory and the Yaobian(爻變) theory, 2)seven rules related with the Wuxiang(物象, image of things) theory. But the Huti(互體, interlocked body) theory does not have a concrete relationship with the eighteen interpretation rules. 3)Four rules related with general yili are mainly related with basic structures and semantic structures of Zhouyi’s phrases. And there are two rules related with wenli. The eighteen interpretation rules don’t have a consistency with four methods of interpretation of Zhouyi and three changes. But it can be said that they are interpretation rules to have a systematical structure establishing by the Zhouyi’s philosophical point of view.

일본 헌법은 노동3권을 명시적으로 보장하고 있고, 노동조합법에서 사용자의 불이익취급, 단체교섭 거부, 지배개입 등을 부당노동행위로 금지하면서 노동위원회를 통한 구제절차를 두는 등 노동3권의 보장 및 실현에 있어 우리와 거의 동일하게 규율하고 있다. 따라서 집단적 노사관계에서 원청의 사용자성에 관한 일본 내 논의는 앞으로도 우리에게 적지 않은 시사점을 줄 것으로 생각된다. 현재 국내에서 아사히방송 판결 그 자체에 대한 연구는 상당한 반면, 아사히방송 판결 그 이후의 논의에 대해서는 아직 연구가 활발하지 않은 것 같다. 따라서 이하에서는 우선 아사히방송 사건의 개요를 간략히 살핀 후, 아사히방송 판결 법리를 바라보는 일본 학계의 두 가지 관점을 살펴본다. 또한 아사히방송 판결 법리의 적용범위(사정거리)와 지배・결정력 유무의 판단 단위에 관한 논쟁 및 관련 사례를 검토한다. 나아가 최근 선고된 일본의 몇몇 하급심 판결 및 노동위원회 결정을 소개하고, 마지막으로 단체교섭에서의 원청의 사용자성에 관한 일본 내 논의가 우리에게 주는 주요 시사점을 생각해보고자 한다. In the Asahi Broadcasting ruling in 1995, the Japanese Supreme Court ruled that the prime contractor can be an employer that bears the obligation to Bargain Collectively with a trade union joined by the employees of subcontractors. The Asahi Broadcasting ruling had a significant impact on the Hyundai Heavy Industries Ruling, which was ruled by our Supreme Court in 2010. First of all, this article examines the summary of the Asahi Broadcasting ruling and examines two positions in the Japanese academia that view the Asahi Broadcasting ruling. Next, it reviews the discussion on the scope of application of the Asahi Broadcasting ruling’s logic and the unit that determines whether control and decision-making power exist. Finally, it introduces some recent rulings and decisions of Labor Relations Commission in Japan, and considers the implications of discussions in Japan about the Asahi Broadcasting ruling.

This study analyzed kinds and characteristics of class rules for 3-year-olds in the Saessak class at the Saemteo kindergarten and determined reasons why young children violate rules. Research participants were composed of 21 young children and 2 teachers in the Saessak class for 3-year-olds and data collection/analysis were conducted by participant observation and in-depth interviews using qualitative methodologies. Research findings are as follows. Firstly, in the Saessak class, there were 7 rules including “getting along with friends”, “keeping order”, “arranging·organizing”, “staying in one"s seat”, “behaving safely”, “cleaning-up” and “observing table manners”. Secondly, rules of the Saessak class had 6 characteristics including “content similarity to basic daily habits”, “help for young children"s development”, “essential process for particular activity”, “exemption from compliance depending on the situation”, “standards for peer relationships”, and “a contradiction in time keeping rules among young children” Thirdly, analysis showed that there were 7 reasons why young children in the Saessak class violated the rules including “interpretation of a rule context from their perspective”, “lack of self-regulation”, “imitation of a friend"s behavior”, “personal reasons”, “maladjustment to class”, “lack of awareness of the need for compliance” and “thinking that violation may go unnoticed”. In the study, an understanding of the process by which 3-year-olds learn a rule and the meaning it has on their lives could be cultivated through analysis of rules in the Saessak class for 3-year-olds. Based on the understanding of class rules for 3-year-olds at a kindergarten, these research findings are expected to be helpful for teachers when teaching rules.

중국기독교 규장제도와 기독교중국화

유미경(Yoo, Mi-Kueng)(劉美景) 대한중국학회 2020 중국학 Vol.70 No.-

당정의 종교중국화 요구에 부응하여 중국기독교계가 가장 빠르게 기독교중국화를 공식 선언한다. 사실 기독교의 ‘중국화’는 이미 신중국 초기부터 시도되어 온 것이다. 이는 규장제도에 반영되어 있는데, 규장제도의 제정 및 개정 내용은 중국기독교의 중국화 여정을 가장 실증적으로 보여주는 결과물이다. 따라서 본고는 사회주의 중국사회에서 중국기독교의 과제와 지향을 담고 있는 양회의 장정과 교회규장, 그리고 「5개년계획」 방안을 주요텍스트로 삼아 그 변화추이의 과정을 분석하고 매 단계 ‘중국화’의 내용과 의미를 고찰하고자 한다. Since Xi Jinping called for the ‘sinicization of religion’ in 2016, Chinese religions had to follow the policy. Firstly, Christianity took action. The process for the sinicization of Christianity is reflected in its ‘Rules and Regulations’. In the Rules and Regulations, there were ‘Chinese Christian Three-Self Patriotic Movement Committee charter’, ‘Chinese Christian Association charter’ and ‘The relevant documents of church standardization in China More’. They have recently made ‘Five-Year Planning Outline for Advancing the Sinification of Christianity(2018-2022)’. We can understand the flow of the Sinification from ‘Rules and Regulations’. Thus, this paper studies how the Sinification has been done by analyzing enacted and revised documents of them. In general, the sinicization of Christianity is said to have progressed in order of ‘Three-Self Three-Well’, ‘the union of church’, ‘Reconstruction of Theological Thinking’ and ‘the Sinification of Christianity’. ‘Three-Self’ is to run church by Chinese. ‘Three-well’ is to run church well. ‘The union of church’ is to abolish sectarianism and hold joint services. ‘Reconstruction of Theological Thinking’ is to establish China-specific Christian theology. ‘The Sinification of Christianity’ is that Christianity should be expressed and spreaded through Chinese traditional culture. These processes are self-revolution that Christianity have survived the atheistic political system even though they apparently look like to have been taking measures according to the demands of the Communist Party. In other words, Christianity made ’Rules and Regulations’ to survive and adapted themselves to the religious policy of the Communist Party.

조소앙의 삼균주의와 민족혁명론

김인식 (사)한국인물사연구회 2011 한국인물사연구 Vol.16 No.-

Normally when we define the Principle of Three Equalities we focus on the meaning of the three components as in the equalities among political groups, economic and educational classes, or the equalities among individuals, nations, and states. While this understanding is a reasonable interpretation of his theory, what is evident is the realization that his Principle was foremost a practical theory, a prescription for the nation’s political and economic groups or classes to emerge after Korea’s independence from the Japanese colonial rule. In other words, ‘Three Equalities’ were concerned with the society that would emerge after completing a ‘National Revolution’ that would destroy the colonial pillagers of the Japanese Empire and fully restore the land and the sovereignty to the nation of Korea. In order to achieve the Principle of Three Equalities in a peaceful way, a national revolution or a mission to ‘restore the nation’ must be carried out thoroughly. In this sense, Jo So Ang’s ‘Theory of National Revolution’ is a premise and a prerequisite to the Principle of Three Equalities and constitutes an integral part of the theoretical structure of the latter. Jo So Ang, like others, considered that the primary task of a national revolution was to oust the Japanese colonial power by force and to restore full sovereignty to ethnic Koreans. But his Theory of National Revolution incorporated a deeper content: it was a concept that, as an integral part of the Korean revolution, clearly systemized not only the target and the aim of the revolution but also a methodology concerning the motive, its driving power and the leadership. Because Jo So Ang did not favor a social revolution within the ethnic Koreans nor abandon the sovereignty asthe ethnic Korean people, he could not surrender the hegemony in the national movement and nation-building efforts to the communists who pursued a social revolution and internationalism. To Jo So Ang, the driving force of a national revolution did not lie in a certain class but in the whole nation that included farmers, laborers, small and medium merchants, and intellectuals with the Korean Independence Party as the leader. This understanding gave substance to the logic that, while the Provisional Government must come to power to lead the process of restoration and nation-building, the established nation should be governed by one party rule of the Korean Independence Party. Jo So Ang’s Theory of National Revolution resulted in an idea of one party rule based on the claim of the Korean Independence Party to succeed the legacy of the March 1st Movement and the legitimacy of the Korean Provisional Government. In this sense, his Theory of National Revolution was a hegemony theory that traversed the whole period from the ejection of the Japanese to the establishment of a formal government of new democratic republic at the conclusion of the Provisional Government’s mission.

인터넷상의 저작권 침해에 대한 블로킹기술 도입을 둘러싼 논의 : 이른바 '삼진아웃제' 도입에 관한 세계 각국의 동향을 중심으로

장예영 세창출판사 2011 창작과 권리 Vol.- No.65

The aspects of copyright infringement in the Internet are changing as it is also changing the way of its enforcement. The speed at which information travels in the Internet is so fast that with the existing legislation copyright holders cannot get effective remedies. In recent years, extensive and repetitious copyright infringements have been a big problem, and there is now a need to regulate this issue in advance. From this point of view, 'content blocking' and 'user blocking' are considered more effective measures than the existing legislation such as the 'Notice and takedown procedure'. As referred to in this paper, 'blocking' can be divided into three types; ① 'blocking the upload of infringing content' ② 'website blocking', ③ 'blocking Internet access to repeated infringers'. In particular, ③ 'blocking Internet access to repeated infringers' is started to be discussed under the name of so-called 'three strikes rule', when French passed the HADOPI law in 2009. This so-called 'three strikes rule' has been introduced and it is in force in France, Korea, and Ireland, and it is now under discussion in many countries. This paper illustrates the debate regarding the introduction of blocking measures in cases of copyright infringement in the Internet in Europe and U.S., and it especially illustrates the major trends of the so-called 'three strikes rule' around the world.

한자어 단어 구성에서의 두음법칙과 경음화

여채려 ( Caili Yu ),김양진 ( Ryangjin Kim ) 민족어문학회 2015 어문논집 Vol.- No.73

본고에서는 한자어 단어 구성성분을 이루는 형태의 구조가 두음법칙 및 경음화와 관련됨을 살펴보았다. 한자어 중에는 두음법칙이 적용되는 양상에 따라 단어 구조가 구별되는 경우가 있다. 두음법칙의 대상이 되는 음절이 어중 음절인 한자형태소는 ‘신여성(新女性), 처녀작(處女作)’과 같이 단어 속에 포함될 때, 표기상 그 한자가 소속 단어(1차어)의 첫음절일 때만 적용되고 첫음절이 아닌 위치에 있을 경우에 원래 발음대로 적는 것이 한자어 두음법칙의 주요 내용이라고 할 수 있다. 또한 ‘軟綠色’과 같은 단어의 경우 의미에 따라 ‘軟-綠色’의 단어 구조로 이해하여야 두음법칙이 적용되는 이유를 설명할 수 있다. ‘일주년(一週年)’과 같은 단어의 구조는 단어의 의미에 따라 ‘일주-년’ 혹은 ‘일-주년’으로 이해될 수 있었다. 한자어 ‘ㄹ’뒤에서의 ‘ㄷ, ㅅ, ㅈ’의 경음화는 사이시옷의 개입으로 인한 경음화와는 다르며 원칙적으로 한자어 1차어 내부에서만 나타나는 경음화이므로 발음의 실현에 따라 한자어의 단어 구조를 구별하는 기준으로 활용할 수 있다. 2차어인 3음절 한자어의 음절 경계에서 이러한 경음화 현상이 나타날 때, ‘1음절+2음절’의 경우에는 결합 경계가 분명한가 그렇지 않은가에 따라 경음화 양상이 달라졌고 ‘2음절+1음절’의 경우에는 의미 차이에 따라 경음화 양상이 달라졌는데, 후자는 ‘일반적인 의미’(비경음화)를 지닌 경우와 ‘특정한 의미’(경음화)를 지닌 경우에 따른 구별로 보아 한자어 경음화의 양상을 세분하여 논의하였다. The aim of this paper is to describe the relationship between the Structures of Sino-korean Words and the Word-initial Rule as well as Fortition. The Structures of Sino-korean Words can be differently analysed following the different aspects in the Sino-korean morphemes which observe the Word-initial Rule. A Sino-korean morpheme which is in the non-initial positions of the words, especially in the intermediate position of the word, such as ‘yeo(女)’, we can find that ‘sin-yeo seong(新女性)’ is subject to the Word-initial Rule, but ’cheonyeo-jak(處女作)’ is not. The distinction between the aspects is the structures of them. Also, the Structure can be differently analysed by the meaning of the words. We take a good illustration of the difference between the word -- ‘軟綠色’. which is subject to Word-initial Rule and the structure is ‘軟-綠色’, with the meaning of ‘light green’. When describing ‘the light green color’, it is not subject to Word-initial Rule and the structures is ‘軟綠-色’. Also, The Fortitions have various aspects in Sino-korean phonology d(ㄷ), s(ㅅ), j(ㅈ) of plain souds become fortis after r(ㄹ), this rule applies to all bisyllabic words, but not Native Korean words. For that reason, the Fortition also can analyse the Structures of Sino-korean Words. but the Fortition also be observed in the three-syllable. Specifically, the different aspects of the ‘one-syllable sino-korean morpheme’ are found in the ‘two-syllable + one-syllable’ structures. and we can distinguish the difference by analysing the word meanings.

著作權과 表現의 自由 - 이른바 '삼진아웃제'와 관련하여 -

박성호 전남대학교 법학연구소 2009 법학논총 Vol.29 No.2

As a result of the combination of the Internet and digital technology, we are in the midst of a debate over the proper scope of copyright. Over the years the length and scope of copyright has been increased too much, crowding out the rights of users to consume expression and use it to create expression of their own. In this point, the increasingly controversial nature of copyright has created interest in the relationship between copyright and freedom of expression. In new Korean Copyright Act, so-called ‘three-strikes out’ provision has increased this interest still further. According to this new provision, the government has the power to shutdown an online message board for a maximum six months after the site is warned for a third time to delete pirated content and prevent its movement. In addition to the ‘three-strikes out’ rule, Internet users who repeatedly upload copyrighted content without permission could lose their Internet accounts. Under the new Act, the minister of culture, sports and tourism is granted the authority to order the closing of online message boards or suspending individual Internet accounts with or without requests from copyright holders. This has caused the issue of the conflict between copyright and freedom of expression. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the interaction of copyright and freedom of expression. The paper is divided into four parts. The first part provides a historical relationship between copyright and freedom of expression for the discussion of problem at hand, namely, ‘three-strikes out’ rule. The second part outlines the traditional point of view about a tension between copyright law and the First Amendment in the U.S., focusing on professors Melville Nimmer’s 1970 Article and Paul Goldstein’s 1970 Article. Their articles advanced relatively modest arguments about how the conflicts between copyright law and free speech could be internally reconciled. Also, the second part examines professor Netanel‘s ‘speech entitlement allocation regulation’ theory. This theory is very helpful to review and criticize the internalization of conflicts. The third part examines the decision, by the French Constitutional Council, which reviewed French ‘three-strikes out’ law as a violation of the constitution, and compares with the so-called ‘three-strikes out’ provision in Korean Copyright Act. Finally, this paper concludes with an unconstitutional assessment of ‘three-strikes out’ provision

이규보(李奎報)의 「동명왕편(東明王篇)」 찬술과 그 사학사적 위치

변동명 ( Byeon Dong-myeong ) 호남사학회(구 전남사학회) 2017 역사학연구 Vol.68 No.-

이규보의 「동명왕편」을 검토하였다. 이규보가 굳이 명종 23년(1193)에 그와 같은 성격의 詠史詩를 찬술하려 든 연유라든지 혹은 「동명왕편」이 한국사학의 흐름 속에서 차지하는 위치 등을 더듬었다. 「동명왕편」은 크게 두 부분으로 나뉜다. 序에 해당하는 散文部와 本篇으로서 五言詩 및 그 夾註로 이루어진 韻文部가 그것이다. 본편은 다시 중국의 신화적 존재를 읊은 導入部와 동명왕에 얽힌 신이한 사적을 상세히 다룬 主題部 및 찬자의 소회를 거듭 밝힌 終結部로 구분된다. 이규보는 「동명왕편」의 서문에서 儒者임에도 동명왕의 신이한 사적을 시로 읊어야만 했던 사정을 구구히 늘어놓았다. 그리고는 본편에서 중국사를 연 신화적 존재들과 함께 해모수라든지 동명왕 등에 얽힌 신비하고 불가사의한 수많은 일들을 두루 살핀 다음, 다시금 유자로서의 소회를 밝히면서 왕조의 창업에는 신이한 사적이 나타나게 마련임을 재차 확인하는 것과 함께 守成君을 경계하는 내용으로 끝을 맺었다. 儒者라는 자신의 정체성과 神異的인 역사이해 사이의 괴리를 정확히 파악하였으면서도, 더불어 왕조의 창업 시에는 일상을 뛰어넘는 신비스러운 일들이 나타나게 마련이며 그것이 또한 보편적 현상임을 역설하였다. 말하자면 이규보는 「동명왕편」에서 유교적인 역사이해와 신이적인 역사서술이 반드시 서로 어긋나는 일만은 아님을 강변한 셈이었다. 이규보가 그처럼 일견 모순되어 보이는 주장을 내세우면서 「동명왕편」을 찬술하고자 나선 데에는 그만한 이유가 있었다. 「동명왕편」은 求官을 목적으로 지어진 시였다. 우선 동명왕의 신이한 사적은 당시 일반인 사이에서 회자되던 화젯거리였다. 그처럼 친근한 내용을 시의 소재로 삼음으로써, 타인으로 하여금 자신의 견해에 쉬이 관심을 갖도록 유도하는 효과를 기대하였다. 더불어 동명 설화의 신이성은 유교적 합리주의와 상반되며, 더욱이 고려의 역사와 문화를 독자적 전통에서 이해하고 그리하여 고려의 자주성을 과시하는 데 유용하였다. 고려전기의 유교적 문치주의를 비판한다든지 혹은 문신정권의 북방종족에 대한 타협적이며 소극적인 대외정책의 한계를 드러내는 데 동명신화가 유용하였다. 동명왕의 신이한 사적이야말로 유교적 문치주의에 기반한 고려전기의 문신정권을 비판하고 무인정권의 존립을 정당화하는 데 유용하였으며, 그리하여 무인정권 하에서의 출사에 도움을 얻으려는 求官詩의 의도에 부합하는 소재였다. 말하자면 동명왕의 신이한 사적이 무인정권의 존립을 정당화하는 데 유용하였으므로, 이규보는 그것을 소재로 삼아 「동명왕편」을 지어 당대 집권층의 관심을 불러일으킴으로써 구관에 활용코자 하였던 것이다. 그가 儒者로서의 자신의 정체성과 괴리됨을 정확히 인식하였으면서도, 신이한 동명왕의 사적을 긍정하고 더욱이 그것을 소재로 삼아 고려의 역사와 문화가 독자적 전통을 지녔음을 내외에 과시하는 「동명왕편」을 지은 까닭이었다. 한편 이규보의 그러한 찬술 의도와는 별개로 「동명왕편」은 한국사학의 흐름에서 빼놓을 수 없는 위치를 차지한다. 첫째, 한국사를 대상으로 한 가장 오래 된 현전 詠史詩로서 널리 읽히는 것을 목표로 삼은, 다시 말해 대중화를 염두에 둔 역사서술의 선구에 해당한다. 둘째, 『구삼국사』의 존재를 명확히 하는 것과 함께 그 체재라든지 내용이나 성격 등을 헤아리는 데 필수불가결의 자료이다. 셋째, 고려왕조의 고구려계승의식이 그 중엽에 이르도록 면면히 이어져갔으며, 무인정권시기에 들어 그것이 새삼 하나의 사조로 대두하였음을 보여준다. 넷째, 삼국시기 이래의 신이사관을 계승하여 후대로 이어주는 것과 함께 앞서 이미 제시된 바의 합리적인 역사이해라는 흐름을 거스르는, 그리하여 전진적이기보다는 복고적이라는 평을 면하기 어려운 위치에 있다. I concentrated on studying A Lay of King Dongmyeong(Dongmyeongwang pyeon) written by Yi Gyubo in this paper. I pondered on why Yi Gyubo wrote A Lay of King Dongmyeong and where the historical poetry was situated in the history of Korean historiography. A Lay of King Dongmyeong can divide into two parts. The preface written in prose and the main part mostly put into verses were those. In the preface Yi Gyubo spoke long-windedly the circumstances that he ought to compose a poem on the mysterious and fantastic deeds of King Dongmyeong despite his identity as a Confucianist. Next in the main part he first examined many mysterious and marvelous affairs about Haemosu and King Dongmyeong with the mythological beings who opened the Chinese history. Soon after expressing his intimate thoughts as a Confucianist Yi Gyubo confirmed again that it was natural that mysterious and marvelous affairs appeared upon the scene of founding a dynasty. Though Yi grasped correctly the contrast between his identity as a Confucianist and reading history through the perspective of mysticism, he emphasized that a dynasty was never founded without showing fantastic and miraculous occurrences and it was a general phenomenon also. So to speak Yi Gyubo struggled to justify that reading history through the perspective of Confucianism was not always contrary to writing history with mysticism and fantasticism while composing A Lay of King Dongmyeong. A Lay of King Dongmyeong was a poetry which Yi Gyubo wrote to accept a government office. The mysterious and fantastic deeds of King Dongmyeong were the talk of the town under the rule of the military. Yi, choosing such a wellknown contents for subject matter of the poetry, expected to obtain the result that the poetry induced others easily to be concerned about his own opinions. Moreover the mysterious and marvelous character of the saga of King Dongmyeong ran counter to a rational view of Confucian moralism and further availed to understand the history and culture of Goryeo dynasty in appreciation of their own tradition and show off the sprit of independence of Goryeo. The mysterious and fantastic deeds of King Dongmyeong were available to criticize the civil rule based on the principle of rule by Confucian political ideology in the former term of Goryeo dynasty and justify the existence of the military rule, and therefore were subject matter in accordance with Yi’s purpose writing a poetry to accept a government office under the rule of the military. Such as stated above was the reason that though he recognized certainly that his identity as a Confucianist was contrary to the following he affirmed the mysterious and fantastic deeds of King Dongmyeong and further wrote A Lay of King Dongmyeong which showed off the original tradition of Goryeo history and culture A Lay of King Dongmyeong occupies an important position in the flow of Korean historiography. The first, A Lay of King Dongmyeong was the oldest extant historical poetry dealing with Korean history and therefore corresponded to a forerunner of writing history to aim widely-reading in other words mind popularization. Next, A Lay of King Dongmyeong is indispensable for clarifying the existence of Old History of the Three Kingdoms and considering contents and formation or character of that history book. The third, A Lay of King Dongmyeong is an evidence that the consciousness of succession to Goguryeo of Goryeo dynasty continued till the middle of the time of that dynasty and rose again as a trend of thought under the military rule. The fourth, A Lay of King Dongmyeong succeeded the mysterious and marvelous view of history continuing since the age of the three kingdoms and handed it down to later age. At the same time A Lay of King Dongmyeong is in position hardly to avoid a comment to run counter to the trend of a rational view of history as previously presented and therefore be rather reactionary than advanced.
