장한상의 울릉도 수토와 수토제의 추이에 관한 고찰

Abstract

The dispute over Ulleungdo between Korea and Japan arose from Ahn Yong-Bok’s going over to Japan in 1693. Accordingly, the Joseon government sent Jang Han-Sang to Ulleungdo and made him investigate its situation in detail. The government decided to institutionalize the inspection of the island after that and have government patrol system of 2-year intervals stablished since 1699. Jan Han-sang who inspected the island left one of his records, ‘Historic Relics of Ulleungdo’. Park Se-Dang also recorded same contents in ‘Ulleungdo’, but his record has more detailed explanations that Jang Han-Sang did not write. They are about the on-site inspection investigated by some soldiers under Jang Han-Sang’s command before he landed on Ulleungdo. The Joseon government institutionalized annua inspection of the island and the Japan government did not attempt to cross the sea of Ulleungdo for a while making an order to prohibit Japanese’s crossing. Government patrol system continued during the reign of King Yongjo and the annual record about the inspection of the island in the reign of King Jungjo has a characteristic with more detailed explanations. Active developments on Ulleungdo managed through the Inspection policy of the island were embarked coupled with the instruction to explore Ulleungdo in 1880. The inspection of the island had been carried out since this instruction and it had more complicated aspects with detailed terms such as investigation, inspection. The administration system of Ulleungdo changed to the system ruled under county headman, chief, governor of Ulleungdo after the abolition of government patrol system.
