중국 송원(宋元)시대에 유행했던 여동빈의 이야기는 불교를 통해 일본에 전해지게 된다. 그 이후로 오산선승(五山禪僧)의 작품에 빈번하게 나타나면서, 송원시대의 문화를 받아들이는 상징이 되었다. 여동빈의 이야기는 군기물어(軍記物語) 『태평기(太平記)』에 대량으로 인용되는데, 일본 고유의 역사이야기와 서로 어우러지면서 아주 강력한 비판적 요소를 내포하게 된다. 여동빈의 이야기는 또 일본 근대의 부세회(浮世繪), 독본소설(讀本小說), 민간신앙에도 스며들면서 여성화, 무사화(武士化)의 색채도 지니게 된다. 결과적으로 일본이 본토문화를 형성과정에서 여동빈 이야기는 중요한 작용을 하게 되었다.
Modernity is every individual’s demand for human life. The period of modern era may be the period when the omnidirectional movement toward the humanistic orientation of freedom, equality, peace, and love from oppression, confrontation, and inequality was maximized. Mentioning modernity and contemplating modernity is an important criterion for reading the mental awareness of a country organization. In world history, Europe’s historical activities toward modernity continue to this day and have a profound influence on world culture and civilization. On the other hand, Korea’s modern achievements are not receiving much attention compared to the greatness. The lack of public awareness to the modern legacy of the Kang Jeungsan’ Daesoon Jinrihoe makes us feel a lot of regret when considering the case of Europe. Europe put its modern heritage at the forefront of history and formed a national consensus to make it a driving force for growth. It is the result of an understanding of its own spiritual heritage and pride. The fundamental origin of Korea’s modern spirit lies in the thought of Kang Jeungsan and his ‘Cheonji Gongsa’(天地公事; Reordering of the Universe). The DaesunJinrihoe who has succeeded the kang Jeung-san has made the reverence and realization of ethical morality the fundamental value for the new era. Kant’s understanding of the absolute being through moral beliefs forms a point of contact with the religious view of Daesoon thought which honors ethical morality, and here it reaffirms the modern value of Daesoon thought.
