권협(權悏) 고급사(告急使)의 연행(燕行)에 대하여

Abstract

During the period of Chosun Dynasty, the works named Record of Trip in Yan(燕) by some envoy from Korea to China provided a large number of attractive and rare historical data to future generations. It’s also a complement to something not concerned in official history. These travel notes are important information on researching the history of relation between China and Korea. In the Record of Trip in Yan of Seoktanggong(石塘公), which was written in the style of diary, Kuang Hyeop(權悏) recorded the process of his trip in Ming Dynasty as a envoy before the year of 1597 when the War against Japanese Troops happened. The thesis takes the record as basic information, and analyzes the event of requesting rescue when Kuang Hyeop was in Beijing. He went in for purchasing military supplies and the process of determining whether the Ming Dynasty would rescue Chosun. The diplomatic mission of Kuang Hyeop was an important part of the relation between China and Korea during the period of Imjin Waeran. Also, his Record of Trip in Yan provided strong evidence for researching the relation between the two countries.
