朝鮮仁祖25年（1647）徐勝漂流事件所折射的 清初東亞海域

Abstract

This paper is based on "Bibyunsadeunglok,"(『備邊司謄錄』, Records of the Border Defense Council) which recorded Chinese drifter cases, and with reference to the record of the "Annals of the Joseon Dynasty (『朝鮮王朝實錄』), the "Tongmunhwuigo"(『同文彙考』), and investigated a floating event of Fujian maritime trader Xu Sheng in 1647. This paper tries to put the events in the extensive background of East Asian history in the early Qing dynasty and makes a multi-angle interpretation. Through Xu Sheng's sea routes and the abundant goods on board, we can learn about China's maritime traders as represented by the Zheng group. They were active in China and Japan through economic, trade, and diplomatic activities, and controlled the sea in East Asia at that time. China's drifting boat also reflects the sensitive political and diplomatic relations between the nations of Qing, Joseon and Japan. We can also learn about the Qing's high pressure policy on Joseon dynasty by seeing how the Qing envoys greatly interfered in Joseon affairs. This kind of tough policy sets up for an unstable regime in the face of internal and external challenges during the early Qing dynasty. It is important to note that during the period of high pressure on Joseon by the Qing, the group of translators which was represented by Zheng Mingshou has played an important role. This is also a typical performance of the Qing dynasty to adopt national control policy with Joseon. Along with the regime of the Qing dynasty and Tokugawa shogunate, East Asian powers gradually stabilized to the end of the 17th century, through the management of maritime dominated by the regimes of Asian dynasties, gradually forming a systemized return system of drifting people.
