백승충의 가야사 연구에 대한 비판적 검토 = Critical Analysis of the Gaya Historical Studies of Baek Seung-chung

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study critically analyzed the studies of the history of Gaya of Baek Seungchung. Garakgukgi (Records of the State of Garak) is characterized by a description based on the former inhabitants’ viewpoints, not the viewpoint of the founders of the state. Garakgukgi describes the process whereby the former inhabitants greeted the migrants, Kim Su-ro and his followers, and symbolized the diplomatic rhetoric.
However, Baek Seung-chung considered Garakgukgi fiction.
Baek Seung-chung deemed Kim Su-ro a fictional character, rejected AD 42 as the founding year of Gaya, and equated Gaya with Imna. Baek advanced three arguments that Kim Su-ro was fictional. First, he insisted that the family name Kim was created after the collapse of Gaya; second, he changed the characteristics of the myth; and third, he distorted the historical records.
Baek Seung-chung adopted the simple approach of rejecting AD 42 as the founding year of Gaya by changing the characteristics of the founding from political to economic power. To this end, Baek applied syllogistic reasoning, first interpreting the records of the battle between Gaya and Silla as being fought to secure maritime power. Next, Baek defined the founding powers as the main actors in international trade. Third, Baek made Kim Su-ro and his followers Yeomsachak (chi), that is, people of Byeonjinguyaguk State.
Baek Seung-chung insisted that the Byeonjinguyaguk State be Yeomsachak (chi) and his followers, who were people from Gaya (Kim Su-ro and his followers) because he insisted that Gaya was Imna. In doing so, Baek portrayed Kim Su-ro and his followers as the founding power of Gaya and the main actors of international trade.
Next, Baek insisted that the battle between Silla and Gaya was to seize maritime power to facilitate international trade. Finally, Baek argued that the war among the eight port states was merely infighting among the powers in Gaya to gain access to international trade.
Furthermore, Baek maintained that Japanese culture was sufficiently economically and culturally advanced to prevail when its indigenous power was transplanted into the Korean peninsula, whereby cultural elements including the Japanese myths associated with Tenson Korin mythology (legend of heavenly descendants) entered the peninsula, after which Garakgukgi was created based on the Tenson Korin mythology. Finally, Baek rejected both Kim Su-ro and the founding of Gaya.
