고구려유민 高欽德, 高遠望 부자 묘지명 검토

Abstract

This essay is a research to the epitaphs of Go Heum-deok and Go Won-mang. They were father and son, and their epitaphs are an important source that can find the change of life and cognition for many generations than a personal epitaph. Especially, the change of their consciousness was affected by changes to relation between Balhae(渤海) and Tang(唐), and it has various meanings. The family of Go Heum-deok seems to go to the Tang after the fall of Goguryeo. They were occupied mainly with military action to the northern races in Maknam(漠南), Habuk(河北) and Yoseo(遼西). The army that led by them was mainly the displaced of Goguryeo. They seemed to have been a consciousness that derived from Goguryeo than the displaced of Goguryeo in central Tang. They must have been thought to themselves that derived from Balhae. However, the relation between Tang and Balhae has been in state of war since 730s, they were difficult to show a consciousness about their race. As a result, the family of Go Heum-deok put Bigan(比干) of Chinese descent up for their founder. But their consciousness was confused with consciousness of Seochal(徐察), a next generation, and the epitaph of Go Won-mang was expressed that he had relation to Go of Balhae, regardless of Bigan.
