백제 멸망과 백제유민 - 정체성과 정착과정의 문제를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study was reviewed mainly on the destruction of Baekje kingdom and the revival movement of Baekje kingdom. Baekje kingdom was destroyed by Silla kingdom joined hands with the Tang(唐) Dynasty in 660 A.D.. The ancient Japan states dispatched troops to aid the revival of the Baekje Kingdom. However, the ancient Japanese and the Baekje revival army were defeated by Silla kingdom and Tang dynasty allies. As a result, Baekje people became a Baekje refugees. They did the asylum to Japan with the help of ancient Japan state in 663. First, they crossed from the south coast of South Korea to Tussima island(対馬島). From there, they go over to Iki island(壱岐島). Again they crossed from Iki island to north Kyushu. Later, they arrived at Osaka area through the Setonai seas(瀬戸内海). The ancient Japan states has provided a lot of financial support to settle down the Baekje refugees in Japan. I think that this behavior of the ancient Japan state is related to the political meaning that it was ally with the Baekje kingdom. However, I think that ancient Japanese society would have needed more progressive culture and technology of Baekje refugees. Baekje refugees built defense facilities such as building a Beacon Fire Station and a castle facility in each region of Western Japan. And they have made a great contribution to the development of management appointment and education system, medicine, and academic field. Because of this achievement, the Baekje refugees received official rankings from the Emperor Tianji(天智) in 671. The award of this official rank has the following meanings. As a result of this move, the Baekje refugees gained the status Baekje people-Japanese(百濟系日本人). Since then, they have contributed greatly to the formation of the Ritsuryo(律令) State as a Baekje people-Japanese living in Japan.
