Sungmo (崇母, "Holy Mother"), also called Daemo ("Great Mother"), Jamo ("Benevolent Mother"), Sinmo ("Divine Mother"), Nogo ("Ancient Lady"), Chungkyun Moju ("Empress Mother of the Rightful View") and by other names,〔Lee Chi-ran, pp. 6-7〕 is a mother goddess in the Korean indigenous and shamanic religious culture. She is especially regarded as the mother of the Heavenly King and matrix of the ''mu'' in some myths. In other myths the ''mu'' are instead regarded as descendants of Dangun.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 13〕 ==Relation to the ''mu''== Some myths in the Korean tradition trace the origin and power of the ''mu'' (shamans) to the ''Sungmo'', or to a princess who is later transformed into a goddess, with divine investiture of the ''mu'' passed down through female princely lineage.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. pp. 5-12〕 In the myth of the mother goddess, a man, Pobu Hwasang, encountered the "Holy Mother (the Heavenly King )" on the top of a mountain.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. pp. 5-6〕 The Holy Mother became a human being and married him, giving birth to eight girls, the first ''mudang''.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. pp. 5-6〕 According to philological studies, this myth was formed in the Silla period, when Buddhism and influences from China had already entered the Korean peninsula.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. pp. 5-6〕〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 13〕 The myth of the princess is the most popular, and it differs from a region to another.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 6〕 In one of the versions the princess is Ahwang Kongju of the Yao kingdom on the Asian mainland or another kingdom.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 6〕 The princess had a strong connection to the Divine, granting welfare to her people.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 6〕 The king sent the princess among the people, who began to worship her for her healing powers.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 7〕 The ''mudang'' were established as her successors.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 7〕 The princess is worshipped at the ritual of seasonal offerings in Chungcheong.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 7〕 The yellow and red clothes worn by the ''mudang'' are regarded as Ahwang Kongju's robes, at the ritual.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 7〕 In the north of the peninsula the princess is known as ''Chil Kongju'' (the Seventh Princess), seventh of the daughters of the king.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 7〕 The myth tells that she was rejected by her father, who sealed her in a stone coffin and cast it in a pond, but she was rescued by a Dragon King sent by the Heavenly King, and ascended to the western sky becoming the goddess of healing waters.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 7〕 Names in other provinces include ''Pali Kongju'' and ''Kongsim''.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 7〕 In the tradition of Jeju Island, where there are more male ''baksu'' than female ''mudang'', the myth of the origins tells of a prince as the ancestor of all ''mu''.〔Jung Young Lee, 1981. p. 12〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sungmo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
