「당선지도(唐船之図)」를 통해 본『고려도경(高麗圖經)』 속 신주(神舟)·객주(客舟)의 크기와 구조

Abstract

In this article, the Ningbo and Fuzhou ships that appear in the in the Dangseonjido(唐船之図, Chinese ship pictures) stored in the Komaba Library of the University of Tokyo and the Matsura Historical Museum, and through this, we will understand the size and hull structure of the Shinju and Gaekju ships, which were dispatched from the Song Dynasty to Goryeo in 1123. Although there are many paintings of various types of Chinese ships in Japan, the two abovementioned materials are not only the most elaborate, but also record the shape of each part of the hull and still exhibit good color, making them important materials for understanding the characteristics of ancient Chinese ships. As a result of comparing Seo Geung's Goryeodogyeong(高麗圖經) with the Chinese ship drawings of the two sources, it was confirmed that among the Dangseonjidoships, ‘ships made in Ningbo’ and ‘ships made in Fuzhou’ are closest to the Gaekjuin terms of their scale and of ship. In addition, when comparing the size of the Shinju and the Gaekju with ships launched on the coast of China, the Shinju is close in size to the ‘Nanhai 1st ship’, while the Gaekju is similar in size to the ‘Nanao 1st ship’ and the ‘Changkangkou 2 ship’. In particular, since the ‘Nanhai Line 1’ was built in roughly the same period as the new ship, it is believed that there is a need to continue with comparative research on the two ships. Since most of the ships excavated from the coast have only the bottom of the hull remaining, it is not easy to identify the original structure of the ship. However, if we look at the appearance of Gaekju and Shinju as described by the West and the image of Dangseonjido that remains in Japan, we can see many similarities. Therefore, it is thought that it is possible to estimate to some extent the superstructure of the Gaekjuand the Shinju through the depiction in Dangseo jido. There is a record in the Sogjachitonggamjangpyeon(續資治通鑑長編) that when Goryeo asked for a ship to be lent for the dispatch of envoys and trade, Emperor Xinzhong of the Song Dynasty lent it to the King of Goryeo. From this, it seems highly likely that Shinju visited Goryeo at least twice during the reign of King Shinjong.
