朝鮮通信使に同行した朝鮮の訳官

Abstract

This study is a study of the interpreters who accompanied the Chosun Tongsinsa when he visited Japan on 12 occasions. As to who the interpreters who accompanied the Tongsin envoys were, what status they accompanied, and what their majors were, there were three sources (a paper published in the Chosun Hakbo, a survey on people related to Tongsin envoys in Naver, and the Promotion of Korean Studies). The analysis was based on the results of the project, the Dictionary of Diplomatic Terms against Japan during the Joseon Dynasty, and also referenced the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty and the Encyclopedia of Korean Culture. Looking at these materials, the names of the interpreters who accompanied the Tongsin envoys are missing in some records depending on the material, and their positions (Dangsang interpreter, Sangtongsa, Chasangtongsa, Apmultongsa, etc.) are different depending on the material. In some cases, one or two pieces of data may be different. Also, there were cases where the position was not clearly recorded and was simply stated as [translator]. In addition, in the major part of the translator, there were differences depending on the data regarding whether it was Japanese or Chinese studies, and there were also parts where the Chinese character notation of the name was different. Through this study, we were able to clearly see which parts were inconsistent and that even the basics of the interpreters who accompanied the messenger envoy had not yet been clearly organized. In order to clarify this, there is a need for a more detailed study, including analysis of envoy records related to the Chosun Tongsinsa and other materials.
