『고려도경(高麗圖經)』 군산도(群山島) 송(宋) 사신 영접 공간과 의례

Abstract

Since the remains of Seonyu Island in Gunsan began to be known to the world in 2009, much research has been conducted on the sea route and Gunsan-do in relation to the reception of envoys during the Goryeo dynasty. During the Goryeo dynasty, Gunsan-do was also a diplomatic “space” where reception ceremonies and important interstate ceremonies were held as a gateway by which diplomatic envoys could enter Gaegyeong, the capital of Goryeo. These reception spaces were equipped with important national facilities such as the Gunsanjeong reception house, Oryongmyo shrine, Jaboksa Temple, guesthouses, and government offices. In addition, there were many other facilities, including Sungsan Haenggung Palace, the a naval base, an anchorage, and a well. For the purposes of this thesis, the locations and functions of the major facilities in Gunsan-do were investigated, and the functions and roles of the Goryeo ships used in rituals held at the sea were also analyzed. Until now, most of the studies on the reception spaces for envoys in Gunsan-do, which are mentioned in Goryeo-do-gyeong, have focused on the locations of the facilities, such as the Gunsanjeong reception house and Sungsan Haenggung Palace, but the results were not satisfactory. The main reason for this is a lack of understanding of the sea, of how to identify where ships could be anchored, and how to track the movement and location of the Oryongmyo shrine, which has remained unchanged since the Goryeo Dynasty. In addition, if the location of each facility was tracked according to the historical data presented in Goryeodogyeong, a clear understanding of the envoy reception space would be possible. Therefore, in this study, by supplementing the shortcomings of the research conducted so far, the author has tried to examine and understand the reception spaces and one aspect of the reception ritual held for envoys in Gunsan-do in 1123.
