고려 말 漕轉城의 등장과 溏城倉

Abstract

This paper will look into the specific location and surrounding of Dangseongchang installed at the southern shore of Asan Bay on 1391 (King Gongyang 3). Dangseongchang is a typical Jojeonseong certainly unknown for its era of installing including Ong-anseong and Yeongsanseong as well. Out of them, Dangseongchang is meaningful in the point that it was a unique Jojeonseong recorded in Goryo's history. But, the specific point, scale and role of Dangseong were not known yet. In consideration of such reality, this article tried to estimate the specific point of Jojeonseong appeared at 'Shinchang-hyun' in Goryo History and investigate the geographical conditions of Jojeonseong at that time by restoring the features of the castle and landscape surrounding the site of Dangseongchang. Comparing the terrain, geographical name and the point of Jojeonseong shows that Dangseongchang was highly likely built on the hill at current Gunduk-ri, Seonchang-myeon, Asan City, Chungchangnam-do. Proximities of Gunduk-ri was the point of ebb and tide before building the water break at Asan Bay, and the geographical name of castle site was remained still on the site where the castle had been placed. It can be said that the conditions of the Jojeonchang were well estalished in the point that the sea water surged at near and Dogo River flows to the left to merge to Sapgo River. In addition, the point is believed as same area with Sunchang-do where the residents of Asan evacuated at the invasion of Mongolia. Dangseongchang which played an instrumental role at Japanese invasion seemed to lose its function while Japanese invasion was reduced and Jochang moved to the farther lower stream Beomgeunnaechang. Accordingly, it can be summarized that Jochang at the proximities of Asan Bay in northern Chungnam moved to Dangseongchang → Beomgeunnaechang → Gongsechang, Asan.
