중국학계의 발해 고고학 연구 동향 및 쟁점 -2010~2022년 발표 연구논문을 중심으로-

Abstract

Since 2010, a total of 136 archaeological research results have been published in Chinese academia, including four doctoral papers. The research topics are also diverse in the fields of tourism and economic exchange, including architecture. What is noteworthy is that 25 papers in the field of tourism and policy have been published, accounting for about 22% of the total, and government support has been greatly expanded. This means that academic interest in the remains and relics of Balhae has expanded to the protection, utilization, and spread of the ruins, and played a very large role as a lever in encouraging new researchers to study. This environment soon led to the expansion of the research topic. It is clear that it motivated researchers to raise research awareness and deepen research contents. Nevertheless, underlying each argument is the subordinate perception of the "Tang Dynasty, Tang Dynasty culture" that each field of Balhae history is not affected by the "Tang Dynasty culture", and its origin cannot be understood at all without excluding the Tang Dynasty. The number of research results has increased dramatically than before, and the scope of the subject has also expanded significantly. However, their claims and perceptions were not much different from the situation before the analysis period. Rather, the logic of the past has been strengthened. As the influence on "Tang Dynasty" and "Tang Dynasty culture" was emphasized, the dependency of Balhae intensified. In the end, this perception raises concerns that the logic of "Balhae History = Chinese History" has become more solid as Chinese academia's perception of history, such as "the local regime of the Tang", "unified multi-ethnic state", and "the country within the country" has become entrenched. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly review and monitor research trends, spread of research topics, and research claims in Chinese academia. Recently, the Chinese National Museum deleted the chronology of the history of Balhae in Goguryeo. This is the result of reflecting the historical perception of the Chinese government and academia. In order to cope with this historical distortion movement, it is necessary to deepen the research topic of Balhae's perspective through the vigorous activities of each researcher. The review of historical materials should be more thorough, and it should be accompanied by an understanding of various archaeological achievements and a more detailed review and verification of various reporting materials and archaeological sites. In addition to checking and verifying pure academic claims and perceptions, it is urgent to continuously observe, analyze, and respond to the popularization of Balhae archaeological findings and research results, and what policies are devised and implemented in this series. In addition, continuous attention from the government and academic organizations is needed for timely and accurateresearch. In thelong run, a program to nurture the next generation of academics majoring in Balhae history, or a plan to research and revitalize Balhae history should be established.
