百濟 熊津期 漢江流域支配 問題와 그에 대한 認識

Abstract

Many researchers have a lot discussed who controlled the area of the Han River. What has been most important for that matter is that whether Goguryeo occupied this area after it collapsed Hanseong, the capital of Baekje on Sep. 475 A.D. <Samguk Sagi> says that at that time Baekje had still dominated Hanseong as well as the surroundings of the Han River and a battlefield between Baekje and Goguryeo in the era of Woongjin had also been formed in the northern Gyeonggi Province and Hwanghae Province as it had been in the Hanseong era (18 B.C~475 A.D.). In the light of the contents of <Samguk Sagi>, it could be found that Goguryeo didn't dominate the area of the Han River and Baekje also didn't lose it. The chapter for geographical features of <Samguk Sagi>, however, says that the administrative names of Goguryeo reached the area of the Asan Bay, confirming this historical fact from archaeological evidence. The chronicle part of the <Samguk Sagi> omits severely the history of Goguryeo but for the articles related to wars, the book introduces almost all the chronicle of Baekje, which means that any contents regarding the surroundings of the Han River shown on <Samguk Sagi> is just none other than the article of Baekje chronicle. A poor perception of such problematic view of history and resulting impartial recording has naturally led to the Han River area dominated by Baekje. And some suggestions of geographical name-transfer have been very poor in their arguments and revealed arbitrary interpretation as well. Furthermore, suggestions that concretely explained places to which the names were transferred were too much. I discovered that not only suggestions of Baekje's rule over the Han River area but name－ transfer have all weak arguments and logical deficiency. The people of Baekje recorded as if they had continued to dominate the area of the Han River that had been associated with the legitimacy of the Royal Munyeong lineage which had tried to link it with King Gaero who was the last king in their Hanseong (the home of Baekje) era. In their view, history was real and was very important when the government tried to solve pending issues. Since the era of King Seong, Baekje has put its top priority on recovering the Han River area which had been taken by its neighboring Shilla. We could assume that for this, Baekje used both retaliatory attacks and political pressure against Shilla and as a countermeasure of it, Shilla demanded that they possessed the Han River area as a territory of Goguryeo, not of Baekje and Baekje would need to break such arguments made by Shilla. And for this, Baekje demanded that the Han River area had been their territory since the foundation of Baekje but deprived by Shilla 553 A.D. This shows that the Baekje people demanded their originality in the Han River area with their realistic and long desire.
