연행로 중 ‘遼陽-鞍山-廣寧 구간’에 대한 인문지리학적 검토

Abstract

This study examined the section "Liaoyang-Anshan-Guangning" used for about 300 years in three periods, the end of Goryeo period(Yuan dynasty in China), early Joseon period(Ming dynasty in China) and late Joseon period(Qing dynasty in China), in the history of the diplomatic journey to Beijing for about 600 years from late 13^(th) Century to the end of 19^(th)Century, on the anthropogeographical aspects. The main posting stations in this section were in Anshan, Haizhou(海州), Niujiazhuang(牛家庄) , Sha Ling(沙嶺), Gaoping(高平) and Panshan(盤山), and the total length was around 180km(360-ri). It generally took about 4 nights and 5 days but it took 5 nights and 6 days or 6 nights and 7 days due to various reasons including road conditions. How about the conditions on the route for diplomatic envoy to Beijing? What about the climates and sceneries? What kinds of histories or customs were observed? What did the envoy feel and realize? The most impressive scenery was the nature, that is, field, wind and mire. The envoys realized the physical dimension of the world in the fields and experienced the pain during the journey due to wind or mire. The most impressive mountain and river were Zhubishan(駐蹕山) and Shanchahe(三叉河). Zhubishan and Shanchahe reminded the war between Goguryeo and Tang Dynasty, and the conflict between the countries in the northern region and the countries in the central region which were continued for a long time, respectively. The records on Tianfeimiao(天妃廟) along Shanchahe illustrated faith and custom in those regions and the awareness of envoys from Joseon dynasty to those faith and custom. With respect to the international relationship, Byeonjang(邊墻) and Yeondae(煙臺) were intensively investigated. The envoys occasionally met those from Joseon who were the migrants from the continuing wars, from Japanese invasion to Korea in 1592 to Manchu War in 1636. However, the limit of this study was that only a certain section related to the journey to Beijing was examined on the anthropogeoraphical terms, but aesthetical value of literature was not identified nor the historic themes were not discussed in depth.
