13세기 말~14세기 중반 원과의 관계에서 추진된 고려의 역사 편찬

Abstract

During the period of Yuan interference in Goryeo affairs, the Goryeo dynasty’s limits regarding its historical editing process showed through in an inevitably obsequious character lacking in self-respect. This was due to the fact that the two nations could not help being swept up in sensitive contemporary issues. Although the Goryeo perspective was not revealed, the nation would have by necessity responded to the Yuan demands in an actively confrontational manner. Related to the editing of the Yuan’s “Zhuguo-chenfu-chuanji(『諸國臣服傳記』)” in June 1276, the Goryeo dynasty’s edited works included “Cheonchu-gumgyeongrok(『千秋金鏡錄』),” “Sedae-pyeonnyeon-jeolyo (『世代編年節要』),” “Gogum-rok(『古今錄』),” and others. Subsequent to these works, records such as “Goryeo-sa(『高麗史』)” and others could be confirmed as representative of the historical editing process carried out in Goryeo spontaneously and in a manner contrary to the demands of the Yuan dynasty. Examples of these included “Seonje-sajeok(『先帝事跡』),” “Kimgong-haenggun-gi(『金公行軍記』),” “DaeLiao-sajeok(『大遼事跡』)” (『related to “Samguk-sajeok(『三國事跡』),” and other works. It is difficult to examine “Seonje-sajeok,” written in 1295 (King Chungryeolwang 21st) because of its relationship to the editing of the Yuan era’s “Sejo-sillok(『世祖實錄』).” The result of this document reflecting Emperor Sejo’s elegy of Kublai as well as King Chung- ryeolwang’s intention to seek a new relationship between Emperor Seongjong, newly ascended to the throne, and the political administration of Temur. After this work was offered to the Yuan court, the Goryeo dynasty was able to reap the benefits gained by resolving various affairs of state, such as its relationship with the Yuan dynasty, and the marriage of the crown prince. “Kimgong-haenggun-gi,” written around 1326(King Chungsuk-wang 13rd) is considered to have been edited in conjunction with the plans of a Yuan dynasty government official trying to establish the tradition of the political authority of Yesun Temur. Setting the editorial process as a goal in this way stemmed from 1218—a year that saw the formation of a brotherly pact arising from the opportunity presented by combat in Gangdong-seong fortress—as being seen as opening the path to a new era. There was a continuous need to cite passages of remembrance from “Take the lead(率先歸附)”. One can interpret this, however, through the exclusion of General Jo Chung from the two main roles offered in the brotherly pact and General Kim Chuiryeo remaining as the sole chosen individual, events which have been considered as related to subsequent political activities of the descendants of these two nations. There is a relationship between “Samguk-sajeok” edited in 1343(King Chunghyewang reinstatement 4th) and “Sanshi(三史)”. This document was sent to the Yuan dynasty at the end of this same year. Its traces have been confirmed in “DaeLiao-sajeok”, which itself was passed down in “History of Liao Dynasty,” and that literary remnant has also survived in the work “Haedong-nyeogsa(『海東繹史』),” published at the beginning of the nineteenth century. In the “Haedong-nyeogsa,” one can confirm the record of the king’s seventeen orders to his subjects from the Goryeo period. It is possible to guess at the character of “Samguk-sajeok” by considering the compilation of various documents dealing with the diplomatic relationship between the Goryeo and Liao dynastys into “Haedong-nyeogsa”.
