영문 초록

This study aims to do a comparative research of "do-not-save-human beings" tales (AT160: Save not human beings but animals) which are one of widely-known tales in the world. Indian tales are classified into two types: tales with or without flood motif. The former ones are based for river areas while the latter ones are for mountain areas. Each type is related to geological factors. Likewise, Chinese tales are with or without flood motif. The tales with flood motif have been handed down from generation to generation in the southeastern part of China while those without flood motif are in northwestern part. Like Indian tales, Chinese tales are related to natural environments. Korean tales are divided into simple and complex tales. Since simple tales are similar to the tales of southeastern part of China which have flood motif, it is concluded that Korean simple tales were influenced by the tales of southeastern part of China. In addition, researches in each version of these tales show that simple tales are a majority of "do-not-save-human beings" tales in Korea. For simple tales, basic structures of Indian, Chinese, and Korean tales have similarities. However, Korean narrative types show considerable variations in several aspects in comparison with Indian and Chinese tales. First, roe deer called noru in Korean repay kindness in many stories. Second, Korean tales do not show conflicts between two people who give a favor and those who repay it unlike Chinese tales. The first variation is due to ecological environment of Korea, and the second variation results from Korean mentality. Complex tales are particularly important because they are conversions of "do-not-save-human beings" folk tales which have mythological characteristics. This phenomenon can not be found in Chinese tales. This reflects receptive attitude of Buddhism and basic nature of religion. Complex tales have their significance because they deeply realize the world of Korean mentality and the originality of expression. In short, Chinese "do-not-save-human beings" tales were influenced by Indian equivalences, and Korean tales were influenced by Chinese tales. Therefore, Chinese and Korean tales show similarities with Indian tales. Typical Korean tales are deeply related to the tales of southeastern part of China. Even though both Chinese and Korean tales were influenced by Indian tales, they show distinctive characteristics depending on their geological features and mentality of the nation. In particular, the originality in Korean complex tales is meaningful because there are qualitative changes in the narratives.
