SamgukYusa called ‘Gojoseon’ as ‘Dangun Mythology’, differing from its article, which made people deny the historical substance of Gojoseon. Examining it as ‘Bonpuri’, a Korean language meaning mythology, its historical substance is also recognized and Hwanung’s Sinsi Bonpuri before Gojoseon Bonpuri is captured independently. Bonpuri has a function of settling historical problems to explain the history of the beginning of the world in order to settle the present problems as well as a historical description expressing diachronic developmental process from the beginning of the world to the present as mythology. This function of historical description and the function of problem settling are the key assignment of history. Therefore, the study claims to stand for ‘Bonpuri History’.
Bonpuri is an oral historical document about literary historical material and a document of ancient history describing history of the prehistoric age. In unlettered society or illiterate group, history of oral tradition replaces literary history. Therefore, the time classification of the prehistoric age is not desirable since it doesn’t recognize oral history before literary history. For, oral history is also a good history as an unwritten law is a law and an oral literature is literature. Considering a historical function, oral history plays a role of more positive history as a share-possible democratic history. Therefore, if we pay attention to oral history, the prehistoric age doesn’t exist in history.
Examining Dangun Mythology in the viewpoint of Bonpuri history with oral history as a foundation, it exposes that Hwanung established Sinsi before Dangun established Gojoseon and we can also know that it puts a greater deal of weigh on Sinsi. Currently we know that ‘Humanitarianism’ or ‘Jaeseihwa(Saving the world and relieving the people)’ is the spirit of the national foundation of Dangun. However, they are belonged to the spirit of Sinsi foundation of Hwanung. Namely, it is recognized that we should change the subject of Dangun Mthology from Dangun to Hwanung and the space of Dangun Mythology from Gojoseon to Sinsi. Hwanung’s Sinsi, not Dangun’s Gojoseon, embodied the principle of humanitarianism and had a system as an ancient country with agricultural culture.
The origin of Gojoseon culture is Sinsi culture of Hwanung with agricultural culture spending life of settlement. We can find the substance of Sinsi culture from Hongsan culture in Yoseo area within the territory of Gojoseon. Giant Pyramid, Jeokseokchong, an altar form, Yeosinmyo and stone castle as well as brilliant Okgi culture support that Sinsi culture had an aspect as an ancient country. Hongsan culture was formed before/after B.C 4000 and is the former culture than Gojoseon. At that time, people already spent life of settlement and realized agricultural culture. Chinese scholars call it as ‘Hongsan Goguk’. However, there are no historical records. Therefore, it is analyzed as Sinsi culture prior to Gojoseon culture, considering geographical position and contents and level of Hongsan culture.
Examining contents of Bonpuri, Sinsi was securing its position as settlement life-centered agricultural country, was Bulsaguk ruling life and disease of humans and Gunjaguk valuing virtue and morality. To make a castle with rock and to make pyramid-scale Jeokseokchong, the culture should have a political leader with great deal of leadership, ruling organization, prudent mobilization system of human resources, formation of group community by culture of settlement and economic foundation originated with agricultural culture. Therefore, it is guessed that they are remains of Sinsi culture in the hwanung times, considering the altar scale, form and remains of Hongsan culture. Therefore, we should find the origin of Gojoseon culture from Sinsi culture. We have the necessity to study intensively on Hongsan culture, the substance of the Sinsi culture.
