기행사행(1719)에서의 말을 둘러싼 분쟁 연구

Abstract

Among the Tongsina(通信使) who were sent to Japan 12 times in the Latter Period Chosun Dynasty, the 9th Tongsinsa(己亥使行, 1719) is known to have active cultural exchanges. However, not only cultural exchanges, but also many incidents occurred between Tushima-han(対馬藩) and Tongsinsa. Previous research has focused on the case in which Shin Yoo-han argued over the issue of etiquette and refused to visit Daebutsu Temple in Kyoto. The magazine focused on the fact that there were short of horses on September 11 and September 23. Both September 11 and September 23 were equally short of horses. But in the two days, the Tongsinsa are totally different. On the morning of September 12, they said, “There were short of horses yesterday, so there was someone who couldn't start, We won't start today.” and they refused to start. And they also said that they will tell Keiin(京尹). Tushima-han persuaded them and they finally decided to leave. However, on the way the General Manager Chungsa says, “I can't move anymore because of my chest pain.” Tushima-han tried hard to persuade. However, the schedule was finally changed. Tushima-han thought the disease of the General Manager Chungsa was a fake illness. On the contrary, September 23 was short of horses than September 11. However, the General manager Chungsa starts off without complaining so much. Is this because they have experienced short of horses before? There was no special incident in the record of Tushima-han and the Tongsina from September 11 to 23. If so, what caused it? Before September 11, Tushima-han, the guide to the sea route had far greater power than the Tongsina. Before September 11, Tongsina‘s claims were unilaterally frustrated. I think the sensitive response to the short of horses on September 11 should be seen as a power game expressing discontent over the sea route.
