『朝鮮史』(조선사편수회 간행) 편찬과 만선사의 상관성 ―『朝鮮史』 제 3편을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper examines the correlation between P’yŏnsuhoe’s Joseonsa (vol.3) that led by Inaba Iwakichi’s editing, who was representative of a Manchuria-Korea- historian and Manchuria-Korea-History. Regarding Korean history, Inaba who was stationed in Korea for the purpose of compiling the Joseonsa and former Korean-history-researchers representing Imanishi Ryu maintained different views. Imanishi described the Korean history as one of the Han ethnic group, which was akin to that of a Japanese ethnic group living in the southern part of the peninsula. On the other hand, Inaba criticized Japanese researchers who studied Korean history as one tied to Japan’s history. He thought Korean history should be studied as a part of Oriental history and insisted that Korean history should be considered in connection with Manchuria and Mongolia. With the Joseonsa vol.3, Inaba served as the chief and reflects his view of Korean history. Before he taking charge of Joseonsa vol.3, Inaba regarded the characteristics of the Goryeo dynasty as tied to the appearance of Manchuria and Mongolia people, such as the Kitan, Jurchen, and Mongolians. Inaba’s perspective on the Goryeo Dynasty was reflected in Joseonsa vol.3. The editors of Joseonsa vol.3 also regarded the relationship between Liao, Jin, Song, Yuan and Goryeo as the most significant components in Joseonsa vol.3. In particular, with the so-called ‘the Goryeo Dynasty`s War Period against Mongolian Invasion’, the editors of Joseonsa vol.3 relied on historical materials that emphasized the relationship between Yuan and Japan, rather than that of the Anti-Mongol Struggle or changes in domestic politics of Goryeo. This coincided with Manchuria-Korea historical plans to raise the status of Japanese history through the reorganization of Northeast Asian history into the tripartite relationship with the people of China, Mongolia and Donghu (東胡). And the editors’ emphasis coincided with Inaba’s work published at the time of the compilation of Joseonsa vol.3. The general view is that few historical materials are found in early Goryeo period and more materials such as collections of writings, epigraph are found in the late. However, the historical materials used in Joseonsa vol.3 point to the opposite. In the latter half of Goryeo, the use of Korean historical materials (especially epigraph materials) decrease, while the use of foreign historical materials (mostly Japanese materials) increasingly point to a relationship with Japan. Indirectly, the tendency of using historical materials with Manchuria–Korea historic perspectives was used in the compilation of Joseonsa vol.3.
