朝鮮前期 豆滿江流域에 나타나는두 개의 ‘朝鮮’

Abstract

Since the foundation of Joseon, Taejo Yi Seonggye(李成桂) endeavored to incorporate the Tumen River basin into Joseon’s administrative system. As a result, he recognized the Amrok River and the Tumen River became the border of Joseon. However, jurisdiction of Joseon did not reach to the Tumen River completely, and it became under the jurisdiction of Joseon when 6 jins(鎭) was installed at the reign of Sejong. Accordingly, the border awareness before 6 jins means it belonged to Joseon not a sense of jurisdiction, but a sense of territory. And, such awareness was derived by the awareness that Yoon Gyeon(尹瓘) conquered Jurchens on there, 9 castles were established and it was the land of founding ancestors including the birth place of Yi Seonggye and his ancestors. The awareness was supported by the fact that the Jurchen(女眞) was subject to Joseon since they gave military service to Yi Seonggye. Based on such awareness, Joseon prevented the appeasement of Ming(明) to the Jurchen at the Tumen River basin by foreign diplomatic policy and expanded Joseon’s jurisdiction up to the Tumen River basin by installing 6 jins. And by establishing the Jurchen ‘Fence(藩籬)’ for the protection of 6 jins, it consolidated the awareness of Joseon’s jurisdiction. Though Joseon did not dispatch administrators at the Jurchen ‘Fence’ outside the Tumen River basin, Joseon recognized them as ‘Transfer to the People(編氓)’ a territory where the jurisdiction of Joseon affected. Thus, the reign of Sejo, there was a diplomatic conflict with Ming when the chief of the Jurchen was punished by the law of Joseon. After all, there might be a different aspect in early Joseon between actual jurisdictional area and an area considered under the influence of Joseon. It seems duplicated two images of Joseon: one is a jurisdictional term where the general and governor were dispatched by being incorporated in the administrative system, and the other is the territory where no officials were dispatched but where the jurisdictional and king’s command had an effect. Thus, this study attempted to find out cases to figure out the feature of ‘Joseon as territory’ and ‘Joseon as jurisdiction’. This study expects to give some help to understand the area and awareness of area in Joseon before the modern period.
