Abstract

This paper examined the various aspects of Silla’s capital, focused on the records of Samguksagi Sillabongi which were written after the reign of King Munmu, Jabji(Miscellanies) and Yeoljeon(Biographies). In the middle-ancient period, Silla residents called the proto-Saroguk area, the 6-bu district where the ruling group mainly resided Wanggyeong(capital city) in contrast to the Ju-Gun-Chon(regional counties). After the unification of three kingdoms, Gyeongju was recognized as a central city, so generally people called it an Wangdo(capital). In addition, Gyeongju was also called Geumseong, Geumgyeong, Daegyeong(Great capital), Donggyeong(East capital), Gyeongseong, Gyeongdo. In the capital, there were Igung palace where the royal families resided or the King stayed from time to time, such as Donggung, Yanggung, Saryanggung, Wolyutaek, Sajeolyutaek, Yeongchanggung, and Naeseong was in charge of these palaces. Singung, Hoigung, Yegung, Namhasogung, Sogung(Pyeongjineumjeon) and Yeomgung had a character as a governing office responsible for specific tasks. Bonpigung was unique in that it had originally been an Igung palace, but became a governing office in charge of specific duties in the first year of King Sinmun. Furthermore, in the Jikgwanji of Samguksagi Jabji, there are numerous records about pavilions, and they were called using a word ‘Gung’, such as Cheongyeongung and Byeongchongung, and these pavilions fell under the authority of Naeseong. Prior to the unification of three kingdoms, there were armies stationed in the capital such as Gyeongyeogapdang, Daedang, Samcheondang, Sacheondang, Guidang, Seodang, Nangdang, Gyeogeumdang, and Siwibu et cetera, and for some time after the unification, Daedang, 9-Seodang, and the some troops stationed in the capital or in the 6-Gijeong. In the Late Period of Silla, three Sajageumdang and 3,000 army guards composed of the Gyeongojongdang and Samgun(Three troop)’s soldiers stationed in or at around the capital, and they were responsible for the security and defense of the capital city. Academia has not paid much attention to the Samguksagi Jabji’s records about Silla’s capital so far, but this paper’s inquiry into Silla’s capital based on the Jikgwanji’s records will greatly contribute to the understanding and progress in the research of Silla’s capital in the future.
