고려후기 상반된 질서의 공존과 그 역사적 의미

Abstract

During the so-called Yuan Intervention period, two contradictory orders were coexisting throughout the entire Goryeo society. One was an aspiration to preserve Goryeo traditions, based upon the legendary agreement that had reportedly been reached between Goryeo king Weonjong and Yuan Emperor Qubilai. The other was a determination to negate the indigenous nature of Goryeo culture, including the social stratification platform, in favor of an entirely new system. This kind of situation was brought on by Yuan empires apparent dominative position and Goryeos subsequent embracement of Yuan culture and philosophy, which would have undoubtedly inspired some Goryeo people to change or modify the culture and order they had previously enjoyed. As a result, even after the Yuan empire was gone, the Goryeo people came to consider all the institutions and practices left by Yuan as part of many options that they could base their operations on, and also found themselves torn between different choices to approach a single situation. goryeo was facing a task of creating a balance and forming a compromise, but was not able to see to it to the very end, so the task was handed over to the newly born Joseon dynasty.
