Abstract

In this article we tried to find some detailed historical and cultural facts on JIndo Island by re-examining some records on the island before the Sambyeolcho government. Firstly the Injin(do)[因珍(島)], the Baekje period name of Jindo, is believed to be the transcription of old Korean word Indal island, for the Chinese character 珍 is usually used for the pronunciation of ‘dal.’As there are many mountains in the neighbor areas have similar names such as Yudal, Mudal, Seungdal, Handal, ‘Indal’ also can be the name of a mountain in Jindo. Secondly, contrary to usual belief the the Old Castle in Goseong-ri cannot be the old traditioned administration center from Baekje period. The castle was built in early 14th century and there is little evidence that there were any castle like it before. The administration centers were usually built on a not so high mountains near the flatland before 13th century, when the centers moved to deep mountains and islands to evade the Mongolian invasion. The flatland castles appeared in coastal areas in late 14th century for the protection of the centers which had moved again to the flatland areas in late 13th century afterMongolian war. Thirdly, there Jeomchal temple founded by Choe Sawi in early 11th century must have been the most important buddhist center of Jindo in Goryeo period, for it is founded under the royal command. The name of it hints that it belonged to the Faxiang sect which flourished at the time. And the name of Mt. Cheomchal must have derived from the temple. Fourthly, there was an strong relation between the military regime and Jindo even before the the Sambyeolcho government. Choe Hang,the 3rd ruler of Choe military regime used a temple in the island as his economic base and just before the formation of the Sambyeolcho government the national historic records were moved to the island from another place. It might be because of the special relation that the military regime chose the island as the center of their government.
