ABSTRACT

This report has examined the major scholars and the studies about the status done on the research for the Silk road, which has been divided into three periods. In consequence of checking the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea and the search engines “DBpia” and “KISS”, we could understand that the study had started from the consecutive publication named 『The Silk Road』. Accordingly, we consider that the starting point of the study is the 1950s in Korea and classify the time into the 1st period(germinal stage) by 1990, the 2nd from 1990 to 2005 whose amount of the study grew rapidly and then the 3rd from 2006 till now. These periods have the below characters respectively. The main current in the 1st period is the study on the history and culture through the Silk road, which is headed by Dr. Go Byeong-ik, the president in the Seoul National University. In the 2nd period, the Silk road is connected to the existing studies like the fields of art, economy and trade and researched. There are much diversification and achievement on the studies despite the short span of 15 years during this time. In the 3rd period, the range and the quantity on the studies are advanced. Related to the international exchange, trade and transportation, ‘the Iron Silk rad’ or ‘the Marine Silk road’ is emphasized specially in this time, whose significance is on the super-national and azonic globalization. And, we understand there is the academic achievement not by related science but by genuine science regarding the study for the Silk road. Finally, we suggest that the various approach, constant question raising and profound study should be done, the genuine science be established on the Silk road henceforward and it contribute to the understanding for the key principle and major spirit about the cultural exchange between regions. For this, we consider the establishment of the genuine science is needed on the study about the Silk road and the diversity on the range and means must be searched for the study persistingly in the future.
