日本の古代文学における「新羅」と「高麗」 ─その用例の文化史的考察─

Abstract

This paper deal with the legend “Silla” and “Korea” in the ancient Japanese literature .In Japanese literary works written from the 8th century during the 11th century “Korea”, Baekje, Silla and Bohai are seen as a country of ancient Korea. The largest number of examples is that “Silla”. In Kojiki, written in the 8th century “Silla” examples in 6 patients, and they are intensively marked two myths. “Silla” is portrayed as a country with advanced technology and material wealth in there, but the longing for its richness made “Silla” as the enemy to be conquered .As a result, “Silla” became an enemy or rival countries with negative images in ancient Japan. However, the hostile image of Silla diluted after ‘Manyoshu’ and the examples of the number decreased in the 10th century. On behalf of this, “Korea( Koma)” got to see many examples in the 10th century. “Koma” was used in the four senses; One is Koguryo in ancient, the second is the Korean peninsula whole, the third is Bohai , the fourth is Goryeo founded in 918 by Wang‐gon. Interesting that the name of the “Bohai” clearly wrote in ancient Chinese literature in Japanese, but in contemporary Japanese Kana‐literature had no examples of “Bohai” at all. “Koma” is used exclusively in Kana‐literature. The Kana‐literature used word “Koryo” in a very inclusive sense, because “Silla” was tasked with a hostile image as opposed to “Koryo” with traditional friendly image, and “Bohai” positioned on the extension. The change increases the “Koryo” legend “Silla” on behalf of the subject reflect the new values of Kana‐letters formed in the collapse of the old Chinese rule of law system.
