慕洛山城을 통해 본 百濟時代의 儀旺 = Uiwang of the Baekje Period examined from the Morak mountain castle

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Morak mountain castle of Uiwang was a geographical key place located on the passage: linking the capital of the Baekje Period, Hanseong on the basin of the Han River, and the southern-central region of the current Gyeonggi Province and the west coastal one. The above-the-sea level of Morak Mt. where the Morak mountain castle is located is not high, but the mountain is a place to control and aid its circumference and it is also an advantageous location for playing a role as a strategic central point and regional control base convenient for the control of its neighboring locations, commanding a good view-the basin of the Han River to the north, the basin of the Anyang Stream to the west, and Suwon Region to the south. Around the peak of this Morak Mt., the stonework mountain castle was built, and the fact that only relics of the Baekje Period have been excavated in the castle proves that the Morak mountain castle served as a base castle for controling regions of the Baekje Period. Although it isn’t indicated in the historical records such as 『Samguksagi』, given the topography of its neighborhood and excavation status of relics, the Morak mountain castle is presumed to have played a important part as a controling base surrounding many regions within its circumference in the Baekje Period before a governmental base of Goguryeo’s Yulmokgun or Shilla’s Yuljingun was constructed. This can be known, by referring to and guessing records including 『Goryeosa』 in which the base of government of Goguryeo’s Yulmokgun or Shilla’s Yuljingun lies in the current Gwacheon region, that, in the Baekje Period, there wasn’t any other region better than the Morak mountain castle of Uiwang as a central point of the Gwacheon region. In other words, it is judged that, in the Baekje Period, the Morak mountain castle was been a controlling central place of the Han River and the southern part of Mt. Kwanak, the current Gwacheon and Anyang regions.
By the way, the fact that the relics of the Baekje Period only have been unearthed in the Morak mountain castle seems to outline the reason that, after Goguryeo occupied the basin of the Han River, the castle was presumed to have been deserted with the loss of its function as a regional control point, and the time is thought to be (A.D. 525) circa the 22nd year under King Seong’s reign of the Baekje Dynasty. After Goguryeo occupied the basin of the Han River in 529, it is judged that the Morak mountain castle’s function taking charging of a regional controlling base was transferred to the Hoam mountain castle. Deriving from these historical facts and the Bird foot print type Pottery-the Baekje’s indigenous pottery excavated in the castle-the estimated time of building and utilization of the Morak mountain castle is from the 3rd century to the 6th century: the castle was likely to be used from as early as the 3rd century.
In Uiwang Regions, there are few documentary records left and the survey of archaeological ruins and relics is insufficient, and therefore we have not been able to know detailed stories about the era of the Three States-especially Baekje. The Morak mountain castle recently found in Uiwang city, however, is an important relics containing a decisive clue that can restore the old history of Uiwang. The Morak mountain castle and relics excavated from the Morak mountain castle will play a role to restore the old history of Uiwang-especially of Baekje-that have been far away from the historical records and public interests.
