韓日日月起源神話의 比較硏究

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

According to the comparison between the sun-noon origin mythologies in Korea and Japan, the two eyes are classified into some distinct types, viz., metamorphosis-type, human-transformation-type, autogeny-type, and provision-type in Korea, whereas they are grouped into metamorphosis-type, mirror-metamorphosis-type, human-transformation-type, and viviparity-type in Japan. Both Korea and Japan have metamorphosis-type and human-transformation-type in common. What: Korea has but Japan does not is autogeny-type and provision-type. Meanwhile, what Japan includes but Korea does not is mirror-metamorphosis-type and viviparity-type.
When we consider this characteristic in connection with the myths in East Asia area, we com: to realize that Korea and Japan, both, are linked to the Chinese culture via the metamorphosis-type of the two eyes, whereas they are associated with Mongolian, Manchurian, and Siberian minority cultures by way of the human-transformation-type.
In addition to this, Korea shows a unique mythological way of thinking, i.e., autogeny-type, among other regions of Northeast Asia. On the other hand, it was also confirmed that Korea is related to Manchurian, Mongolian, and Siberian mythologies through the provision-type. However, Japan is connected to the northern continent culture, which represents Tatar, Mongolia, Manchuria, and Korea, by virtue of the mirror-metamorphosis-type, whereas it was verified to have relationship with the Chinese culture via viviparity-type. In the meantime, the metamorphosis-type and human-transformation-type of the two eyes, which are shared by the two countries, are the instances thar were hardly found in the European mythology. From this evidence, the common mythological features, both in Korea and Japan, can be said to be typical of Asia, i.e., Northeast Asia, in particular, in contrast to Europe.
