陽原王代 高句麗의 政局動向과 對外關係

Abstract

(Abstract) Domestic politics and Foreign Relations of Koguryo during the reign of king Yang-won(陽原王) Around the 540s Koguryo fell into inner conflict resulting from the matter of succession to the throne and the election of DaeDaero(大對盧). In addition, there was a sudden change in the international situation. For example, Rouran(柔然) collapsed and the Turk(突厥) newly emerged, and there was a change of dynasty in China from the Yang(梁) to the Jin(陳). Silla(新羅) made an alliance with Baekjae(百濟) after which they attacked Koguryo in 551 and occupied the Han river(漢水)area. At the same time Koguryo and Peich'i(北齊) were in sharp conflict of opinion over the repatriation of drifting people. King Yangwon was faced with providing a solution to this domestic and international crisis. King Yangwon began to strengthen royal authority during his reign. In the evaluation of historians, he is cast in a heroic mold and has a great figure, suggest that he had proven himself in his power struggle with the nobility and may well signal some change in the political landscape. As a matter of fact, King Peongwon(平原王) who succeeded to the throne after his father, created a stable political situation, because King Yangwon had removed the influence of his in-laws and paved the way for significant progress in the royal authority. It seems that the international situation had an effect on the domestic political landscape. Namely, Koguryo coped with the rapid changes of the international situation with king as the center.
