1123년 『선화봉사고려도경』바닷길 재탐구 - 정해→협계산 간 항로를 중심으로 -

Abstract

Xuanhe Fengshi Gaoli Tujing (宣和奉使高麗圖經), written by XuJing (徐兢 1091-1153) in 1123, is an important material for understanding the history of exchanges between Korea and China, particularly as describes the ancient sea routes in detail. It has been used as a universal standard for research on identifying ancient sea routes. However, it is unfortunate that many of the domestic studies published on this theme are biased toward verifying the current locations of ports of call in Goryeo. This study examines the maritime routes running from Northern Song to Goryeo in order to expand the subject. Accordingly, the spatial scope is concentrated on the following (places?): 定海 (DingHai), 沈家門 (ShenJiaMen), 梅岑 (Meicén), 赤門 (ChiMen), 海驢焦 (HaiJiao), 蓬萊山 (PengLaiShan), 白水洋(BaiShuǐYáng), 黃水洋 (ShuǐYáng), 黑水洋 (HēiShuǐYáng) , and 夾界山 (HyeopGyeSan). The research process was shared by displaying the maps for each section. A search was conducted of ancient maps of China by period, and the locations of 蘆浦 (LuPu), 白峰 (BaiFeng) and 窄額門(zhǎiÉMen) were identified. Meanwhile, the locations of 赤門 (ChiMen), 海驢焦 (HaiJiao), and 半洋焦(BanYangJiao) were estimated using satellite maps. In addition, a route map was completed for the sections on 白水洋 (BaiSuiYáng), 黃水洋(HuangShuǐYáng), and 黑水洋 (HēiShuǐYáng) based on previous research conducted by Korea and China. As a result of the analysis conducted for the study, the sea route mentioned in Xuanhe Fengshi Gaoli Tujing (宣和奉使高麗圖經) was found to cross from 沙尾 (ShāWěi) on the east coast of China toward the southwestern coast of the Yellow Sea, which is contrary to the common interpretation of the Diagonal Route of China’s East Sea. In addition, it is expected that this will present an opportunity for a continuous review based on objective verification and discussion.
