다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study focuses on the date and the social background of the publication of Gusamguksa, the first historical book written in the Goryeo(高麗) period on the three kingdoms. In the Japji(miscellaneous, 雜志) section of Samguksagi(history of the three kingdoms, 『三國史記』) appears a description of a government organization called Taebong(泰封). However, when mentioning the term Taebong in Samguksagi, similar government organizations or names of titles from Goryeo also appear, juxtaposed to the term Taebong. It is noteworthy that among the organizational names mentioned, some of them are known to have been nonexistent during the Injong(仁宗) period then Samguksagi was published. This indicates that the editors for Samguksagi, when writing about Taebong, did not write offhand but referred to another historical source. There were many historical sources available for reference when Samguksagi was published. However, the only publication which dealt specifically with the history of the three kingdoms was Gusamguksa. Therefore, if the mentioning of Taebong owes its origin to another historical source material, the only possibility is that it referred to Gusamguksa. This leads to the hypothesis that the period when the title mentioned next to Taebong actually existed was the time Gusamguksa was published.
What can be learned from an analysis of the description of Taebong in Samguksagi is that the period when the juxtaposed title in question existed is approximately from the second year of Mokjong(穆宗) to the second year of Hyeonjong's(顯宗) reign. Thus the date of publication of Gusamguksa is assumed to have been around the same period. However, the period from the second year of Mokjong to the second year of Hyeonjong's reign is that of a political uproar, featured with the empowerment and insurrection of Gimchiyang(金致陽) and the coup by Gangjo(康兆). The social atmosphere at the time was far from being appropriate for publishing an important history book. This naturally leads one to presume that the publication date for Gusamguksa is probably sometime after the second year of Hyeonjong, more specifically, during the fourth year of Hyeonjong's rule, when the war with Khitan was over and the board of editors, including Gamsuguksa, was newly appointed.
The social backdrop for the publication of Gusamguksa during the fourth year of Hyeonjong's rule is characterized by the reenforcement of national security and the reorganization of the governmental system. Such reform was necessary for the king, but worked as a financial burden on the people, who have already been much devastated by the war. Thus the rulers aimed to instill into the minds of the people the importance of national security against the Khitan, and to accomplish this a sense of a historical continuity of Goryeo with Goguryeo(高句麗), which have been giving much support to the Goryeo society both internally and externally, needed to be established systematically. The publication of Gusamguksa, which is essentially a history of the three kingdoms mainly from the Goguryeo's point of view, was only one of the ways to accomplish this task.
