Abstract

So far, it has been a general opinion that 'Hunminjeongeum' creation was made only by King Sejong himself under Jiphyeonjeon scholars' help. However, this paper stresses that 'Hunminjeongeum' was made not only by King Sejong but also by Sinmi's positive effort on King Sejong's secret order, and examines the possibility of the culture-convergence contents related to these tales as well. To reveal the ground, the method of this research was proceeded particularly focusing on following texts: Sejongsillok, Munjongsillok, Hangukbulgyojeonseo, etc. The result was as followings. 1) King Sejong's absolute trust in Sinmi, 2) Sinmi's outstanding linguistic talent in Sanskrit. 3) King Sejong's donation of Amitaba-Triad Buddha images to Bokcheonsa Temple and Sejong's granting a respecting title of 'Wugukise Hyeogakjonja' to Sinmi. 4) Sinmi's vow to educate and spread 'Hunminjeongeum' based on Buddhism, and 5) Sejo's visit Sinmi at Bokcheonsa Temple. Furthermore, if the tales related to 'Hunminjeongeum' creation are activated into a type of national or regional events or festivals without remaining simply in a story level, it would be a good way to spread the excellence of convergence K-culture with various culture contents.

지금까지 '훈민정음'이 세종의 명을 받든 집현전 학사들에 의해 창제되었다는 견해가 일반적이었지만 본 논문에서는 신미(1403-1480)가 세종의 밀명을 받고 '훈민정음' 창제에 주도적인 역할을 하였음을 밝히고, 나아가 이와 관련 설화의 문화융합 콘텐츠의 가능성을 모색하고자 한다. 연구방법으로 특히 "세종실록", "문종실록", "한국불교전서" 등 문헌 중심으로 그 근거를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 첫째, 세종의 신미에 대한 절대적인 신임, 둘째, 신미가 범어에 능통하여 불경 해역에 탁월한 능력을 발휘한 점, 셋째, 세종이 금동아미타삼존불을 복천암에 시주하고, 신미에게 '국이세(國利世) 혜각존자(慧覺尊者)'라는 존호를 내린 점, 넷째, 신미의 불교를 통한 훈민정음의 교육과 보급의 서원, 다섯째, 세조의 신미가 주석하고 있는 복천암 방문 등을 확인하였다. 나아가 훈민정음 창제 관련 설화를 단순한 스토리 수준에 머물게 하지 않고 이를 스토리텔링 하여 국가적 혹은 지역적 축제로 승화시킨다면 융복합 문화콘텐츠 활성화의 좋은 방안이 될 수 있음에 그 의의를 두었다.
