『翰苑』 「高麗記」에 보이는 고구려 官名의 구조와 특징

Abstract

Goryeogi of Hanwon has been considered as an important historical material to show the circumstances of Goguryeo in the seventh century. Its records about the national administrative codes not only show different aspects from previous periods, but also present the most detailed content, thus drawing attention early on. A review of Chinese records in the sixth and seventh century from Zuseo to Hanwon indicates that the structure of China’s national administrative codes was already established in the middle sixth century when Zuseo was written. This means that it is needed to review these records too to restore the specific aspects of Goguryeo's national administrative codes those days. There are some official titles that do not match between Zuseo and Suseo and Hanwon. In this study, the investigator reviewed the description backgrounds of these historical materials and found that Zuseo and Suseo contained official titles of different lines from each other as they were based on different reference data. In the process, there was a mix of other titles whose ranks were unknown based on the names. Comparison between these history books and Hanwon shows that most official titles had correspondence between them with the records of official titles in Hanwon closer to the reality than the two history books. Hanwon records that the top five Gwans made a decision over important issues in government operation, and they are understood to have the power to decide in major departments in the viewpoint of Dangins. According to epitaph materials found recently, they handled such government affairs through an organization called Pyeongdae, which was set up in the middle sixth century, when the national administrative codes were also arranged accordingly. Widudaehyeong that appeared in the middle sixth century was the core of this process, specifying the qualification requirements for the minister of each department as well as the lower limits of the top five Gwans.
