666년 고구려의 唐 封禪儀禮 참여와 그 의미

Abstract

This study examines the causes of Goguryeo’s participation in Tang’s Bongseon ceremony and its meaning in 666, Geonbong first year. Bongseon ceremony performed in January 666 was unprecedentedly large, participated by many loyal families and envoys of neighbor nations. Boknam from Goguryeo participated here and he went to Tang separately from Silla and Baekje while Kim Inmun from Silla and Booyeoyung from Baekje went together. He also paid a visit to King Gojong of Tang before leaving for Taesan. King Munmu of Silla made Chirisanhoimaeng with Buyeoyung of Baekje forced by Tang to confirm the territorial borders of each nations in Aug 13, 665 and it was based on Woongryeongmaengyak in Feb 664. Tang intended to maintain Baekje’s existence, keep Silla in check and prepare the outpost to invade Goguryeo. Goguryeo needed to hold back Chirisanhoimaeng with their knowledge of international circumstances so that Boknam decided to participate in Bongseon ceremony of Tang. This fact was connected with the death of Yeongesomun and it was thought Yeongesomun was dead before this. Chirisanhoimaeng was made in the course of preparing Bongseon ceremony, and Tang decided the participation of Silla and Baekje in Bongseon ceremony and induced Goguryeo’s particiation too. Thus, Tang had made clear their intent to invade Goguryeo, but reconsidered it on account of Boknam’s participation in Bongseon ceremony, as Tang did not respond to Silla’s request for a dispatch of troops after ending Bongseon ceremony. The Boknam’s participation in Bongseon ceremony could be Goguryeo’s diplomatic subjection to Tang but, in fact, Tang’s Gaeseon ceremony after Goguryeo’s collapse meant Goguryeo was subjected to Tang. Silla also performed Gaeseon ceremony after Goguryeo’s collapse, and this showed the independent aspect of Silla after King Jindeuk period different from Silla’s being organized to Tang’s unitary world.
