Abstract

Since the 20th century, a large number of bamboo and wooden slips have been unearthed in Korea, China and Japan. As the understanding of wooden slips has deepened, research on ancient East Asian societies using excavated materials-especially wooden slips-is progressing gradually. Therefore, if we carry out research using literature data together with these excavated materials, we will be able to create a new perspective on ancient East Asian history. Historical study of ancient East Asia has been conducted mainly on the literature data. As a result, based on common concepts such as Chinese characters, Confucianism, Rituals and Buddhism, the concept of the so - called 'East Asian world' was established. As a result, based on common concepts such as Chinese characters(漢字), Confucianism(儒敎), Statute(律令) and Buddhism(佛敎), the concept of the 'East Asian world' was established. However, it is difficult to overcome that it is difficult to explain the process of the development of the state power into the ancient state. In this context, the purpose of wooden slips excavated in East Asia is to avoid the tendency to understand the contents from the perspective of individual countries and to identify the origin and pedigree. Furthermore, it aims to reveal the common cultural character of the East Asian countries. Bamboo and wooden slips were important narrative media in East Asian society for a long time from the 2-3th century BC to the 6-8th century AD before the paper was used in earnest. In addition, wooden slips had played an important role in forming a so-called culture of Chinese characters that uses Chinese characters in common in East Asian societies. In other words, it is important to understand how the Chinese, Korean, and Japanese excavated materials with time differences can be understood and genealogically analyzed. It is also important that the method of merging excavated data and researches into what kind of types and forms. The above suggestions need to be understood as the communication between the local cultures rather than the understanding of East Asian Confucianism or Chinese culture as the relationship between the ‘center’ and ‘periphery’. It is important to understand that each region was developing their own social order. Therefore, this study ultimately aims to understand ancient East Asian society by clarifying the relationship between them through excavated data of East Asia. As a starting point, this study examined the research trends of Korean academia about East Asian excavated materials and related academic activities on ancient Chinese wooden slips. This study also describes the interchange and direction of the study of wooden slips in Korea, China and Japan.
