Abstract

Bukpyeonggwan(北平館) is a central space for Jurchen(女眞) diplomacy in the early Joseon Dynasty and played various roles such as entertainment, trade, diplomatic negotiations, and information collection of Jurchen who came to Hanyang. Here, Joseon was able to maintain stable Jurchen relations before the Imjin War. From the end of the Goryeo Dynasty until Joseon moved to Hanyang, Jurchen in visited Gaegyeong(開京), and it seems that official residences were prepared for them. After Hanyang(漢陽) cheondo, Joseon installed Taepyeonggwan(太平館) first, then Dongpyeonggwan(東平館) and Bukpyeonggwan From the time of King Taejong to the time of King Sejong. It seems that the Yaingwan(野人館) was installed and maintained from 1423 before it was confirmed as Bukpyeonggwan. In March 1438, when Dongpyeonggwan was renovated, the name of Yainggwan was also changed to Bukpyeonggwan, and various systems were established. Meanwhile, Bukpyeonggwan, which was located in the current Dongdaemun History Park, was moved to GyeongJeo in Gyeongju and Andong in 1506. This was handled vaguely in previous studies, but after examining various historical sources, I think it was moved to a place used as a landscape house in Gyeongju and Andong. Therefore, I think it is very likely that Bukpyeonggwan was operated from 1426 to the Imjin War at the latest. Bukpyeonggwan had various functions and roles, including not only entertainment and trade, but also information collection of Jurchen, a space where not only Jurchen but also Chinese and Japanese people stay for a while, a meeting place, and a place of deviation. Based on this opportunity, we hope that it will be a step to understand the reality by supplementing the existing research on Bukpyeonggwan.
