기해사행(1719) 속 전례의 활용-對馬 宗家文書를 중심으로-

Abstract

In this study, we wanted to find out how Tsuima responded to the failure of precedent or unclear precedent by the records of Tsusima Soke(1719). The purpose of the Tongsinsa was already diplomatic, so they could not arbitrarily change format or change course. Therefore, before the Tongsinsa is done, the details must be solved through Kangjung(講定). It is usually based on how it has been done in the previous Tongsinsa. However, unexpected variables may occur. Such as when the Kangjung do not convey information accurately, the precedent is not clearly recorded, or inevitably cannot be kept as the weather or place changes, and when the precedent is unilaterally rejected by one side. When Tsusima was carrying out its mission, it mostly checked old records if it failed to keep the precedent or was not aware of the precedent. If there was no precedent, they would check with someone who had done Tongsinsa or make a judgment based on the circumstances. Most of them seemed to respond to two criteria when they failed to keep the precedent. One was for safe and smooth passage, such as a change in precedent following bad weather, and the other was for the protection of authority and face of Bakuhu or Tsusima, as is related to etiquette or treatment. Particularly, such as etiquette has been the point where both sides cannot easily make concessions, as the relationship between the top and the bottom seems to be determined. That is why we could also find the tightness of demanding that even minor things be kept on record so as not to be pre-examined later. The fact that they made people pretend to be sick or ask them to maintain sitting on their seats even though they didn't eat food can be seen as a situation created by the collision of two sides that are trying to keep up appearances and carry out the mission smoothly.
