日本의 天神祭祀와 『桓檀古記』의 書誌學的 位相硏究(2)

“An actual comparative analysis on Nihonshoki s plagiarizing of Hwandangogi”

日本歷史冊 『日本書紀』(720) [神代]에는 韓民族 古代史 『桓檀古記』의 天孫 降臨 等 우리 民族의 足跡이 고스란히 담겨있다. 그와 같은 韓日古代史의 共通性을 本格的으로 밝히기 始作한 것이 江戶時代의 著名한 考證學者 藤貞幹(1732~1797) 이었다. 그는 渡來人들이 韓半島로부터 日本에 건너와서 未開한 日本先住民들에게 祖上神 祭祀文化와 稲作, 즉 벼농사文化를 가르쳐주게 되었다는 事實을 考證 論述한 것이 그의 名著 「衝口發」(1781)이다. 또한 近世에 와서는 東京帝大 史學科 久米邦武 敎授도 韓日同族說을 내세우면서, 韓日 相互間의 祖上神 祭祀文化에다 그 바탕을 둔 刮目할 만한 硏究로서 日本의 神道軍國主義 政權으로부터 迫害를 당하였다. 더욱 重 =大한 事實은 日本古代史 歷史冊을 쓴 것이 韓半島로부터 日本으로 渡來한 學者들이었 =다는 것을 日本의 權威 史學者들이 多樣하게 立證해주고 있다.

Astonishingly, historical descriptions from Nihonshoki( 日本書紀 , 720) on the mythical era of Japan shows us they were plagiarizing some historical material from the mythical era of the Korean race. Descriptions on the descendants of the gods of the heaven coming down to the ground from the sky show much resemblance to those on the Korean ancient historical work of 『Hwandangogi ( 桓檀古記 )』. So we can infer from it the Korean myth of heavenly race descending to the ground ( 天孫降臨 ) has been transplanted. Is it true? Quite a few of renowned Japanese historians have proven it. For example, in Shokohatsu( 衝口發 , 1781), a master work from Teikan To (1732~1797, an eminent documental archaeologist from the Edo era [1603- 1868 CE]), Teikan To plainly points out some notions commonly noticed in ancient history of both Korea and Japan. Among others, according to him the Korean race has taught the Japanese for the first time how to produce rice from paddy fields. Then the Japanese people read a primitive life not knowing how to produce rice. The Korean race also exported the art of smithery to then underdeveloped Japanese people enabling them to make farming gears from iron. Further, they got to teach the Japanese the ritual culture of worshiping ancestors god. Meanwhile the Korean immigrants and the ancient Japanese community continually mated with each other and their genetic traits were gradually mixed. Prof. Kunitake Kume (1839~1931, Dept. of Historical Science, Tokyo Imperial University), a renowned historian from the modern age, outrightly disclosed his theory on common ancestral origin of the Korean and Japanese races in his works and papers incl. 『The history of Ancient Japan ( 日本古代史 )』(1907). The past imperialist regime of Japan got furious at this and kicked Prof. Kunitake Kume out of his post at the faculty of the Tokyo Imperial University. Besides, many historians of authority in Japan are of the opinion that the genuine authors of lots of historical works on ancient Japan incl. the Nihonshoki were of Korean origin.
