ABSTRACT

This thesis focuses on ‘Envoy Banquet (使臣宴)’ in the Early Goryeo Dynasty, or banquets as diplomatic protocols in Goryeo which were held for envoys from Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, seeking to consider the characteristics and historical meanings. For this, first, the thesis has analyzed banquets at guesthouses in the provinces which were held while envoys from Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty visiting Goryeo came and went between Gaegyeong, the capital of Goryeo, and the border. Second, the thesis has reviewed banquets at guesthouses arranged by country which were held while the envoys stayed in Gaegyeong. Third, the thesis has compared banquets held as the second sequence of ‘Ceremony Receiving Imperial Rescript (迎詔禮)’. Fourth, the thesis has examined banquets which were held under the kings by inviting the envoys to the palaces and setting separate dates. As a result of, through them, figuring out all the sides of the envoy banquets held in various aspects, the thesis has verified: the fact that the envoy banquets held as important diplomatic protocols are sufficiently revealed in the orders of banquets, the arrangement of seats, and the progress methods; or the fact that the relationship of courtesy between subordinates and superiors of both countries can be figured out through the envoy banquets. It means that the thesis could get a sense of the envoy banquets reflected in the fact that, basically, Goryeo was not limited to the frame of the tribute system, but kept its basis of diplomatic protocols which treated all of Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty as Superior Country.
