부산포 해전의 바른 역사적 명명을 위한 試稿

Abstract

The War of Imjin developed through water and land. The major wars recorded were 23 wars in the water and 65 wars in the land. The name of these wars was named after the name of the places. Battle was named for the great success of its scale and characteristics. Generally in the War of Imjin, Hansan battle, Jinju battle, and Hangju battle were named as the great 3 battles while Hansan battle, Myungrang battle, and Norang battle as the sea war. However, the naming of battle is not based on the ground of public agreement of historical association of which standard or principle was considered. It needs to be re-establisehd based on the thorough analysis of the scale, process, and meaning of the war. Therefore, the research was focused on the process of how the word of battle was used during the war of Imjin and how the battle could be used for the war of other districts. Especially, the case of Naval Battle of Busan-port was discussed whether it can be named as Busan Battle. So far the research of Naval Battle of Busan-port was not studied enough compared to other naval war during the period of Imjin War. The reoccuring research of Naval War of Busan-port brought up the assessment that the war has a decent reason to be named as Naval Battle of Busan-port. For the research, the name of “Battle” were analysed through the history record and researched which standard or principle were used for the naming. In the center of naval battle, the research investigated the reason of naming of Naval Battle of Busan-port compared the scale and result of the war. It was verified that Naval Battle of Busan-port could be named as the battle after reviewing the report which were stated to Joseon Dynasty court and the War Diary written by Yi Sun-shin and the record of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty.
