우휴모탁국과 부천

Abstract

Uhyumotakguk(優休牟涿國) is one of the Mahan(馬韓) countries seen in the Section for East Barbarians(東夷傳) of the 『Samgukji(三國志)』. However, little is known about the size, social characteristics, and economic structure of this small country. The first way to approach this is a matter of location, but this is also ambiguous. Because of these circumstances, it is very difficult to study the Uhyumotakguk. However, since the Bucheon(富川) region is also mentioned about the location of the Uhyumotakguk, various theories about the location of the Uhyumotakguk mentioned earlier were reviewed. Through this, this study investigated whether it was related to Bucheon. As a result, it was found that, among many theories, Lee Byung-do(李丙燾)’s Bucheon(Bupyeong：富平) theory was still valid. We investigated the possibility of the existence of Mahan in the Bucheon region through Jubuto-gun(主夫吐郡) and Jangje-gun(長堤郡), which are the names of the Bucheon region(including Bupyeong and Gyeyang(桂陽)) in the 『Samguksagi(三國史記)』 jiriji(地理志). As a result, it was found that Uhyumotakguk would establish a relationship with the Bucheon region. In addition, it was found that Juhwagot-myeon(注火串面), one of the names of myeons in Bucheon during the Joseon (朝鮮) Dynasty, was connected to Jubuto-gun, and furthermore, it was possible to connect with Uhyumotakguk. On the other hand, archaeologically, the Gogang-dong(古康洞) ruins in Bucheon drew attention. These ruins are dated from the late Bronze Age to the early Iron Age, and were thought to prove the existence of Mahan in Bucheon. In particular, the Hwankuyugu(環溝遺構) of this site is related to religious ceremonies in terms of their structure and spatial conditions, and can be estimated as the original form of Mahan Sodo(蘇塗). In addition, Gyeyang-mountain Fortress, where a tile with the name ‘Jubuto’ was discovered, is of course also a site to keep an eye on. Judging from the above results, it is highly probable that the present Bucheon area, which includes Bupyeong and Gyeyang, had a small country as a political body during the Mahan period. That small country can be pointed out as the Uhyumotakguk
