閼智神話 硏究 = Study on the Alji's Myth

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Silla Royal family consisted of three surnames. The founder of Park royal family was Park Hyogkuse(朴赫居世), and the one of Seog royal family was Seog Talhae(石脫解). And the founder of Kim royal family was Kim Alji(金閼智). Each of these three surname royal families had a founder's myth, which contained the divine and strange story that the founder was born and mounted the throne. Park Hyogkuse and Seog Talhae mounted the throne in their lifetime, but Kim Alji did not mount the throne, his seventh generation son mounting the throne. Park Hyogkuse was the founder of the Park royal family, and was respected as the founder of the Silla dynasty. Seog Talhae became the son-in-law of King Namhae, Hyogkuse's son, and mounted the throne, regarded as the founder of the Seog surname royal family. Kim Alji, fostered by Seog Talhae, was nominated as the Crown Prince, but transferred the throne to King Pasa. At last Kim Alji's seventh generation son mounted the throne. Kim Alji was the founder of the Kim surname royal family, but the first king of the Kim surname royal family was King Michu.
Hyogkuse's mother was the divine mother called Saso(娑蘇神母). Saso, a daughter of the Puyo imperial family(夫餘帝室), sailed the boat in the East Sea, and reached the Jinhan(辰韓), giving birth to Hyogkuse, the founder of the Silla dynasty. Talhae's father was King Hamdalpa. King Hamdalpa took Talhae on board, praying that he arrived at the fatal place, founding a coutry and getting married. Talhae arrived at Jinhan via the South Sea, became the son-in-law of King Namhae(南解王), and mounted the throne of the Silla dynasty. Considerd in the light, King Hyogkuse and King Talhae were members of the group, coming across the sea. Saso, Hyogkuse's mother, was a divine mother(神母) coming across the sea. Talhae was a divine son(神童) coming from a foreign land.
The Alji's myth displays an element of the myth, in which the hero comes from the Heaven and which is based in the sun worship. Even if transformed, the myth displays an element of the myth, in which the hero is offspringed by egg. These aspects are the common elements not only in the Korean myth but also in East Aisian myth. And the Alji's myth expresses thickly a ritual(祭儀) element. This is a common element in the myth of the southern districts of Korea, namely, Silla and Gaya. But the most charateristic aspect of the Alji's myth is an appearance of a white hen(백계). The white hen, appearing in the Alji's birth ritual, is the most characteristic one of the myth symbols, and is intimately connected with the hen(계룡) appearing in the Alyong's birth ritual.
Alyong(閼英) and Alji are regared as the member of the same tribes. Alyong became the King Hyogkuse's queen, and Alji was fostered by Talhae, nominated the Crown Prince. Hyogkuse and Talhe are the tribes coming across the sea, which constitute the group coming across the sea. Alyong and Alji are the native tribes, which constitute the native society. In the Alji's myth, these contents are included symbolically or significantly. Two hundred years later since Kim Alji was fosterd by King Talhae, the Kim Alji's seventh gneration son, King Michu, mounted the throne. Thereafter the Kim royal family played the leading role. This process is able to be regarded as the culturally dynamic period during which the natives absorb and assimlate the group comming across the sea.
