문경지역 교통로의 역사상 변천과정 연구

Abstract

Historically, in order to connect to the central part of the Korean Peninsula, Gyeongsang-do Province had to cross the Sobaeksan Mountains, which block from the north to the east. Among them, Mungyeong, located south of the Sobaeksan Mountains, is a place where several historically representative hills are confirmed, and the rise and fall of traffic routes through the hills are also related to historical situations. From around the Three Kingdoms period to the Goryeo Dynasty, the transportation route through Gyejeongryeong-hill was used for the longest time and as a major transportation route. Beoljae-hill was also identified as a place with considerable influence in the military aspect during the same period, but its importance was lost along with the unification of the three countries. Later, as a new ordinance was developed during the Joseon Dynasty, the Gyeripnyeong-hill entered the path of decline. Since then, Joryeong-hill was used in various ways as a major passway connecting Hanyang and Gyeongsang-do during the Joseon Dynasty. However, after the 17th century, traffic gradually decreased due to the relocation of Gyeongsang Gamyeong(a local central office) to Daegu and changes in the circumstances at the time. The opening of a new Japanese colonial era road was made through Ewharyeong-hill and Joryeong-hill also fulfilled his role. It can be said that the change of historical traffic routes in the Mungyeong area has great implications in that it can be seen that there is no significant difference from changes in human civilization.
