高麗와 宋의 海上交易路와 交易港

Abstract

The conflict between the Sung and Liao dynasty was terminated with the treaty of Chan-yuan in 1004 A.D. Following the treaty, the Sung dynasty concerned herself the pursuit of peace. From the beginning Koryo admired the advanced civilization of Sung China and so sought to satisfy its material and cultural wants by maintaining a harmonious relationship with sung. Thus the relationship between the two countries rested on a peaceful foundation of cultural and economic exchange. As the military pressures exerted by the Liao and Chin mounted, however, Koryo-Song relations required a delicate readjustment. This is because Sung hoped to attack the Lion and Chin from both sides, in alliance with Koryo. However Koryo was unwilling to provoke the Lion or Chin by any action not strictly necessary, and so Koryo did not accede to the Sung demands. Koryo had understood the thrust of events on the continent and so was determined to remain aloof from the confrontation between Sung and Chin. In the situation, Koryo and Sung even suspended for a time their exchange of envoys. Trade formation between Koryo and Sung was divided into official trade and private trade by the subject of trade. In general, however, the trade relationship carried on through the travels of merchants, and the exchange of envoys as well, continued as before. Song Foreign trade ships entered ch'uan-chou, kuang-chou, ming-chou, hang-chou, wen-chou. And the trade between the dynasties were done mostly by the Sung merchants. Song ships entered the Yesong River byok-ran-do, the port for Kaesong, and Jongju harbor, Muju harbor, Kangju harbor, Pungju harbor. Thus Yesong harbor came to flourish at that time as an international trade port.
