ABSTRACT

In 1141 (the twentieth year from the accession to the throne of Injong and the second year of Hwangtong, the name of the era of Geum (Jin dynasty)), Injong was first invested by Geum. In July of the same year, the relationship of investment and tribute between Goryeo and Geum was virtually made by the employment of Hwangtong and diplomatic intercourse of missions between them was regularized. In this study, by examining the realities of the diplomatic intercourse of missions between Goryeo and Geum, I seek to consider its periodicity and find the meanings of it. In particular, I pay attention to the backgrounds and meanings of the times and periodicity of the missions concerning birthday and special royal edict (Hoengseon). Although the analysis is made centering on Goryeo, I think that the backgrounds of it were national ceremonies of Goryeo in July and November. In brief, the result of this study is the following. The diplomatic intercourse of missions between Goryeo and Geum was not made unilaterally in the political aspect of toadyish tribute and investment. The courtesy of diplomatic missions between Goryeo and Geum followed the system of Yo (Liao Dynasty), but various foreign trades accompanying diplomatic missions were officially developed in considering the interests of Goryeo and Geum. The network of trade of Goryeo-Southern Song-Western Xia-Geum was made centering on them and the dispatch of diplomatic missions was regularized.
