7세기 고구려 대왜(對倭) 관계의 변화 ― 630년을 기점으로 ―

Abstract

As a restraint method against a unified kingdom of china and a rapidly growing Shilla(新羅), Koguryo(高句麗) started and continued having public relations with former enemy Wei(倭) from the late of 6th century. Especially from the 6th year of King Youngyang(嬰陽王:595) when the threat of invasion from Sui(隋) was growing, Koguryo had close relationships with Japan. At the early years of the relations there was no pro-Koguryo group in Wei(倭). Therefore, Koguryo had focused on establishing pro-Koguryo groups with minimizing resistance through the exchange of culture such as the introduction of advanced civilization. as a consequence, Koguryo dispatched monks and painters during that period. Many events-such as Shillas attack to Castle Nangbi(娘臂城) of Koguryo, Tangs attack to Dolgyul(突厥) and Tangs recognition of one who died at war with Koguryo in 629, and general Kahn Hilly(詰利可汗) of Dolgyul(突厥)s capture by Tang in 630-influenced Koguryo to reestablish a close relationship with Wei(倭). During that period, Koguryos connection style with Wei(倭) was changed to political, economical and mailitary form. Generally Koguryo dispatched envoy and its difficult to find the vestiges or documents related to the dispatch of monks and painters. Koguryos political activities and influence were revealed during the period.. Through these changes of relation with Wei(倭), Koguryo could ally with Malgal(靺鞨) in the north and Wei(倭) in the south. As a consequence, from 661 to 663 Koguryo with Bakjai reconstruction forces and Wei(倭) could disperse the concentration of allied forces of Shilla(新羅) and Tang(唐). Like this, through the continuous relationship Koguryo could succeed in remaining Wei(倭) as its allied forces for the purpose of establishing the rear constraint method against Shilla allied forces until the year 668 when Koguryo was ruined.
