‘咨文’을 통한 朝鮮과 明의 中江開市 開設과 革罷과정 분석

Abstract

Jungganggaeshi is very significant in that it is equal and official trade which is different from envoy trade with the previous Ming dynasty at the level of toadyism diplomacy. The general fact which has been known up to now with Jungganggaeshi is that it was established by Chosun in 1593 to import food grains with famine from Yodong during Ymjinwaeran(Japnanese Invasion of Korea in 1592), and was abolished by Chosun in 1601 after Ymjinwaeran. However, it was open and operated again by the pressure of eunuch Ko in 1602, and was completely abolished in 1609. Recently, however, Jamun (practical and official diplomatic document) requiring the abolition of Jungganggaeshi which Chosun sent to Yebu(government office) of Ming dynasty in 1612 and has been discovered in a national museum of China needs re-examination about the above general opinion. The purpose of this study is to analyze 'Jamun' between Chosun and Ming dynasty and to reconsider the opening and abolition of Jungganggaeshi which was established between Chosun and Ming dynasty in Junggang near Yijoo of the Yalu river. For this study, Jamoon of Jungganggaeshi in 'the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty' and the Jamoon in a national museum in China were analyzed. The results show that Jungganggaeshi was completely abolished not in 1609, but January 26 of 1613 based on Jamun which was sent to Yebu(government office) of Ming dynasty in July 7 of 1612. Therefore, the existing abolition of Jungganggaeshi of 1609 needs to be revised. Jamun(diplomatic document) between Chosun and Ming dynasty can be a significant evidence to be very important and historical document for the research of international relations history between Chosun and Ming dynasty.
