朝鮮後期의 邊境意識 = Irredentic Tendency of Late Yi Dynasty

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In 1712 A. D. the Manchu Emperor Seng Tsu(聖祖) made several sur―veys of Mt. Paektu(白頭山) as he thought that his Manchu ancestors origina ly from there. He sent Mu K’o-teng(穆克登) an envoy and fol―lowing negotiation with neighbouring Korea, built a demarcation stone there. This is the first governmental demarcation stone ever built between Korea and China. As result of this negotiation the Korean boundary line was defined by the Yalu(鴨綠江) and T’umen Rive(土門江) both of which rose in the Mt. Paektu.
However dissension and disputes persisted for some decades among Korean scholars of the Silhak(實學) School. Concerning the newly determined nationnal boundary towards the north-west had been reduced. they objected to the clause that made the T’umen River the north-west boundary. These same scholars, who may be classified irredentists. did not regard the T’umen River as the proper boundary.
Instead one of these scholars. Hong Yangho(洪良浩) thought that boundary should extend from Mt. Paektu to the Sungari River(松花江), although Yi Ik(李瀷) and some other scholars maintained that the boundary should be the Sonchun Pass(先春嶺), which was 280 Kms from the Tuman River(豆滿江), while Sin Kyongchun(申景濬). Jong Yak-yong(丁若鏞) and Yi Kyukyong(李圭景) asserted it should be the Punkye River(分界江). They ardently wished for the recovery of the lost terri tory; this however could not be realized because of the military power of the Ch’ing dynasty. They charged Korean envoys with the responsibility of the reduction of the Korean territory.
In Korea one of the features of the mounting nationalism of this peri-od was irredentism i.e. a strong determination to recover the territory which was lost at the negotiation of 1712 A.D. Although at this time the scholars of the Silhak school voiced the necessity of soidifing nati -onal defences, also the development of the four counties(廢四君) whi-ch were situated near the middle stream of the Yalu and were then uninhabited. In fact King Chongcho and others later undertook these project.
