6~7세기 고구려 中裏制의 운영과 人事

Abstract

Focusing on the Jungligwan System found in the epitaphs of migrants in Goguryo, this study is attempted to clarify the structure and operation of the Jungli Council in the 6th and 7th century and understand how it influenced the personnel management regarding government officials in the 6th and 7th century. According to the findings, Goguryeo’s Jungligwanje in the 6th and 7th century was operated in two types in terms of organization. The first type is Gwandeunghyeong Jungligwan which was combined with Hyeonggye Gwandeung that was one of the pillars of Goguryo’s control structure then. It was characterized by Gwandeung that revealed the hierarchy among Jungligwan. As the title, Jungli, says, Gwandeunghyeong Jungligwan’s duties were related to Geunsi (serving the king right beside him). Gwandeunghyeong Jungligwan recorded their duties to classify their roles, for instance, the recording of kind’s command or financial management for the court. The second type was Gwanjikhyeong Jungligwan who formed the demonstrators. They were, too, military officers having the hierarchy corresponding to the ranking of Gwandeunghyeong Jungligwan, and it was found that there were total three types including Sohyeong under Widudaehyeong. Goguryeo’s Jungligwan System mentioned above was reorganized in the wake of King Yangwon’s succession to the throne disputes in the middle of the 6th century. Junglidodokbu, the former Jungligwan System, was characterized as an organization for the rule and appointment of Hanin migrants who settled down in the region as part of the preliminary work of capital transfer to Pyeongyang. Therefore, there were certain limitations in terms of organizational aspects in managing the court’s affairs or Geunsi. Accordingly, while planning the construction of the Janganseong Fortress, King Yangwon and others envisioned groups of people that were separated spatially and more faithful to Geunsi in organizational aspects, and this is thought to be the background of the Jungligwan System that has been known up to now. Compared to cases in other countries, Goguryo’s Jungligwan in that period did function as an organization not only for Geunsi but for the appointment of officials as well. Through Jungligwan, the sons of the nobles formed the reserve bureaucrat group and engaged in both internal and external affairs according to their capabilities or circumstances. The kings of Goguryeo tried to expand their influence through Jungligwan, which allowed Makliji, the head of Jungligwan, to grasp absolute authority including the recording of king’s command, mobilization of troops, or personnel.
