羅濟同盟의 結成 背景과 高句麗의 對外關係

Abstract

Nihonshoki(日本書紀), an ancient history book of Japan has some records about the diplomatic relations between Koguryo(高句麗: one of the ancient Korean kingdoms) and Wa(倭: the ancient Japan). They have been suspected in relation to credibility since the first half of the last century. But the contents of them corresponds on the whole to the international circumstances during the 5th century. So we should not throw them away, but we need to examine the records more prudently. In this paper, I tried to find out how much they can be believable. And I have reached the conclusion that the four records showing the diplomatic contacts of two countries in the 28th and 37th year of Japanese king Ojin, and the 12th and 58th year of king Nintoku have trustworthiness enough. And by using the records, I made another attempt to newly examine the origin of the alliance between Silla(新羅) and Packche(百濟), which is known to be concluded in 433 AD. Most scholars have thought that it resulted from the very strong military pressure inflicted to the two kingdoms from Koguryo. They have not given any attention to the diplomatic relations of Koguryo and Wa. But through a close examination, I found that the establishment of the amicable relationship between two countries aroused so much anxiety to Packche and Silla, which had respectively been at enmity with Koguryo and Wa. So Packche and Silla could not help but to jointly respond to the new linking of Koguryo and Wa. It was the very reason that Packche and Silla reached the agreement on the military alliance.
