고려 법상종미술의 전개와 현화사 칠층석탑 불상조각의 연구 = A Study of the Art of the Bopsang Order in the Koryo Period and the Dharma Assembly Relief of the Seven Storied Stupa in Hyunhwa Temple

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Hyunhwa Temple(玄化寺) was built in 1018 (9th year of King Hyunjong) by King Hyunjong to mourn his mother. The King designated this the main temple of the Bopsang Order(法相宗) and it was highly respected. Even though there were many buildings and Buddhist artworks, these were destroyed over times. The stupa is all that remains now, but it was moved to Confucian Academy at Gaesung(開城鄕校) which is now Gaesung Museum. The Seven storied Stupa of Hyunhwa Temple has relief carvings on the surface of the base stone, and these reliefs have attracted scholarly attention for long time. But its value and meaning are unknown because of little research. Therefore, I discuss its important value and meaning in this thesis. First, the reliefs of this stupa represent the philosophy of the Bopsang Order, and these will contribute to a deeper understanding of the Bopsang Order and its main teaching. Second, as a stupa which has an exact year of construction(1020), it represents the standard form and style of this period. Third, because this is the first relief expressing the Dharma Assembly on the surface of a stupa, it is an epoch-making artwork in the history of stupas. It is earlier than the Dharma Assembly on the Stupas of Kyuncheon Temple and Wonkak Temple. So, I believe the above research will be very helpful in the further study of the sculpture of the Koryo Period in Korean Buddhist art history.
