Abstract

This paper reveals the importance of researching Manchu historical documents and the necessity of utilizing these records for research in politics, economics, society, culture, religion, folk customs, and art from the Ching Dynasty. Up until now, no formal research has been established within the domestic sphere. Thus, research on Manchu documents introduced in this paper includes related articles of Hunchunbudotongamundang (琿春副都統衙門檔), Joseon and DaiHan Empire, some of which are translated. The <中國第一歷史擋案館> which was published in 2006 with positive support from the Hunchunbudotongamundang (琿春副都統衙門檔) has 238 volumes currently under the possession of the <Jilinsheng Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture dangangwan(吉林省 延邊朝鮮族自治州)>. The collection contains administrative materials from the Hunchun area, Manchu documents, and Sino-text materials dating from 1737 to 1909. Various material subjects from these volumes include politics, military, jakūn gūsa[八旗], finance, trade and in particular, problems related to the Manchurian region and diplomatic issues with Joseon. However until now, a catalogue including Korean history has not been created due to the fact that Manchu historical documents related to Joseon are rarely used. By focusing on the contents available from the Hunchunbudotongamundang(琿春副都統衙門檔), this paper presents abstracts of sections relevant to Joseon and provides their introductions. From the 238 volumes, 120 articles (438 pages) are identified as being related to Joseon and among these, 29 articles (150 pages) are Manchu historical document materials. In order to further our understanding of the specific aspects of the Joseon-China relationship especially from the Hunchun region during the late Joseon Dynasty, translations of these articles are in dire need. This paper provides short translations, comments, and analysis of these recorded Manchu documents.
