8세기 중반 羅日關係의 推移와 金泰廉 使節團의 渡日

Abstract

In the middle of the 8th century, political tensions had surfaced in Silla-Japan relations. In February 735, the court of Silla claimed that his country was a "Wand Seong Guk" through his messenger, and the Japanese court sent his messenger home. “Wand Seong Guk” is a symbolic expression that advocates that Silla is a Tang lord, and its own country is superior to Japan, which has its own world view centered on the Emperor, in the international order of East Asia Worked to ensure that Later, political tensions surfaced, with a conflict between the two countries over diplomatic systems. Under these circumstances, diplomacy between the two countries took place in 752 for the first time in about nine years. At this time, Silla dispatched the largest mission ever in Japan, with about 700 people led by prince Kim, Tae-ryeom. The Kim, Tae-ryeom Mission entered the capital of Japan for the first time in about 17 years as an ambassador to Silla and conducted extensive diplomacy, including extensive trade activities. According to the records of the Kim, Tae-ryeom Mission, they stated that they had advanced diplomacy in Japan as the Empire. It has been understood in previous research that Kim, Tae-ryeom's diplomatic approach was used to achieve the mission purpose. However, the record of the Kim, Tae-ryeom Mission is not likely to convey the actual situation, because it is based on the principles of the Japanese Ritsuryo Law, centered on the Emperor. In fact, it has been confirmed in the Japanese archives that the Kim, Tae-ryeom Mission adopted a diplomatic system as a high-ranking nation and advanced diplomacy with Japan. The Imperial Court of Japan has presented the mission to Kim, Tae-ryeom with diplomatic requirements. This was based on a new world view formed through the opening of the Great Buddha Eye of Todaiji Temple in April 752, and demanded that Silla establish a gratitude as a tributary country. However, Silla did not accept this, and maintained its foreign policy with Japan, which has been adopted since the "Wand Seong Guk Case". The arrival of the Kim, Tae-ryeom Mission to Japan was at the request of the Japanese court. The Shilla Imperial Court dispatched the Kim, Tae-ryeom Mission to send the requested goods and at the same time conduct trade activities to pursue economic benefits. The dispatch of a large delegation, led by the Prince, was due to the political intentions of the Silla Court. It was to show off and to increase the status of the kingdom inward.
