SUMMARY:Three Deities Faith and Distribution of Scriptures in the Late Chos
 ŏn: Based on the Collection of Holy Spirit-Writing
DESCRIPTION:\n	Kim Jihyun (Associate Professor\, Department of Religious St
 udies\, Seoul National University)\n	Moderator: James Robson (James C. Kr
 alik and Yunli Lou Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, H
 arvard University)\n\n	Co-sponsored by the Korea Institute\n\n\n	In 1896\,
  Chosŏn 朝鮮 Dynasty ceased to exist\, thus beginning an era of the Gre
 at Korean Empire (Daehan jeguk 大韓帝國 1897-1910) in which western sy
 stems were introduced. In emulation of Meiji Japan (1868-1912)\, keywords 
 in this period were “civilization (kaehwa/kaihua 開化).” The fundame
 ntal changes that occurred in this period are often explained by moderniza
 tion. However\, in investigating the religious history of late 19th and ea
 rly 20th century Korea\, ‘irrational’ factors such as divine revelatio
 ns provided powerful momentum toward reformation. This talk focuses upon a
  previously neglected religious text\, Sŏnggye jip 聖乩集 (C. Shengji 
 ji)\, the Collection of Holy Spirit-writings\, which reveals indigenizatio
 n of Chinese religious practice as well as the quest for ‘enlightenment 
 and reformation’ in the late Chosŏn period (17-19 centuries). In partic
 ular\, I will explore the religious faith and practice with relation to Th
 ree Deities (samsŏng/sansheng 三聖)\, Guanyu関羽\, Wenchang文昌\, a
 nd Luzu呂祖 in the reign period of Kojong 高宗 (reigned 1863-1907)\, w
 ho had a strong will to reform the state\, exploring the background of pub
 lication and distribution of various texts of the Three Deities by the com
 mand of Kojong.
