10∼12세기 탐라의 대외교류

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes Tamra’s exchanges with other countries in the 10th and 12th centuries to explore the maritime characteristics and the nature of Tamra’s maritime activities. The study of the relationship between Tamla and Goryeo, which had been held between the 10th and 12th centuries, was mainly focused on the political part. However, people called the Tamra people also went to the sea to make a living and expand their lives. The nameless Tamra people risked trading across the sea to neighboring countries. The pre-modern sea was a place of life and a world of possibility to expand the limited area of Jeju. At that time, Tamra interacted with neighboring countries such as Song, Japan, and Goryeo through its search in East Asia trade system based on the sea, and advanced civilization accepted from them stimulated Tamra’s culture and became the foundation for a new culture. After the foundation of Korea, Goryeo wanted to enhance the international status embodied in the Palgwanhoe’s(八關會) foreign participation event. Merchants who visited Goryeo from Song(송), Kitani(거란), Durchin(여진), Tamra, Japan, and Arabia(大食國) strengthened their tribute Trade and embodied the multi-pronged worldview of Goryeo through a gift-giving event to the king at Palgwanhoe. Tamra took advantage of this and actively participated in relations with Goryeo, earning economic benefits from trade with neighboring countries that visited Goryeo. Although Tamra was ruled by Goryeo, it continued its exchange activities through the sea as it existed as an independent country under the system of appointing tributes and kings. The weather deteriorated and the ship was damaged and drifted to Sung(宋) and Japan, which also gave another opportunity for exchange. Tamra became a province of Goryeo in the mid-12th century, losing its status as an independent country, and the scope and appearance of maritime activities were greatly reduced. The Goryeo government’s heavy tax collection and exploitation caused opposition from Tom Line, which led to a rebellion.
