古代朝鲜“痘神”信仰的建构及其文学书写

The Cult for“Pox God”in Ancient Korea and It’s Literature Writing

因对痘疹这种传染性疾病的畏惧而创造出的痘神信仰,对包括中国、朝鲜等在内的东亚地区影响深远。尤其是古代朝鲜,他们的典籍中散落着痘神的产生、人们对痘神的态度、祭拜仪式等关于痘神信仰的多方位记述,并将其融入于韩国汉文小说的创作中,经由想象、虚构等艺术手法再现了古代朝鲜人民的痘神崇拜。而小说中痘神的形象,也在与他者形象的对立统一中趋于丰满、立体,且流露出古代朝鲜人民对痘神敬惧的复杂心理。从中,亦可一窥道教民俗文化对韩国汉文小说的渗透。
