요시노 맹약(吉野盟約)으로 살펴본 지토(持統)천황의 요시노관(觀)

Abstract

Zito Tenno made frequent trips which are very rare for an ancient female Tenno. In particular records of more than 30 visits to Yoshino during his reign appear in historical sources. This paper sought to examine the records of Tenno’s journey to find the religious and political objectives and implications that Zito Tenno wanted to obtain through his actions and to clarify her Yoshino view. In particular he presupposed the Yoshino Pledge which was joined by Tenmu Tenno and six princes as the first political move of Zito and paid attention to the crisis of Zito which was faced by violating the Yoshino Pledge after Tenmu Tenno's death. Zito actively utilized Yoshino's travels to ensure succession to the throne for his sons and grandchildren. First of all, she established a new principle of succession to the throne, defining Yoshino as a place of religious tolerance and harmony as an act to advance him, leading to the death of Prince Otsu, who was interfering with his son's succession to the throne. In addition, based on the political ties and loyalty between Yoshino and Tenmu Tenno, I would like to point out in this paper that Zito inherited it and visited in anticipation of the regeneration and sharing of his political power. Through this, this paper will be able to approach the purpose of the ancient Tenno's journey in various ways, and it can be expected to expand awareness and thinking about female emperor research along with the various significance of the emperor's journey.
