『肅愼國記』의 成書와 7세기 唐의 肅愼 소환

Abstract

This article has three purposes. First, this article aims at criticizing the previous view that assumed the publication time of Suksingukgi(肅愼國記) as the Western Jin(西晉) dynasty, and adding weight to the theory that assumed the publication time as Tang dynasty. This article refutes the two grounds of the West dynasty theory. One is the presumption that the “Wiryak Wal(魏略 曰)” part of the Suksinjeon in Hanwon(翰苑) is an miswriting of “Suksingukgi Wal(肅愼 國記 曰)”, and the other is the argument that the citation of Eopjunggi(鄴中記) in Hanwon limits the technical scope of the Suksingukgi to Western Jin. This article rather emphasizes that it should be noted that it is only in the seventh century that Suksingukgi appeared as the title of the book. The second purpose of this article is to raise a question of the previous assumption that the Suksinssijeon(肅愼氏傳) in Jinseo(晉書) was a reprint of the Suksingukgi, and to set out the possibility that several versions of the record of Suksin existed during Tang dynasty. Through comparison and review of the remaining texts, this article set out the possibility that Suksingukgi quoted in Hanwon, Suksingukgi quoted in Taepyeongeoram(太平御覽), and Suksin-related records referenced by Jinseo are different versions of the record of Suksin. The third purpose is to define the composition of Suksin as one category of the biographies of foreign countries in the authentic history books and Leishu(類書), and thesituation in which several versions of the record of Suksin existed as the recall of Suksin by Tang Dynasty during the seventh century. This article explains that Tang's intention to reorganize the international order centered on China was hidden behind the recall. Since the Tang dynasty, the tribute of the Suksin, Hosi(楛 矢, bush clover arrow) and Sungno(石砮, stone arrowhead), have been indicators of the Chinese dynasties’ prime, and Gosuksin(古肅愼) and Suksin, which do not need to be strictly separated, were recalled as symbols of the international order centered on China.
