Research On The Representative Chinese Geographical Documents Of The Korean Peninsula

The Korean Peninsula is an important area of the Han culture circle,and it is also the place where the foreign books written by Chinese are stored.Geographical records written by Chinese is a category of historical documents on the Korean Peninsula,and also an important part of the current foreign books written by Chinese.In recent years,Foreign books written by Chinese is the hot spot of academic research.With the development of academic research and exchange,Chinese scholarsall gradually knowed different kinds of foreign books written by Chinese preserved on the Korean Peninsula.However,from the current research situation,Chinese scholars have little understanding and research results on the Korean Peninsula Foreign books written by Chinese.In the study of Chinese scholars,the official historical geographical records such as Sanguoshiji and Koryoshi are mainly used.From the point of view of Han culture circle,this paper makes a comprehensive study of its historical development,which will be of great significance to promote the research in the fields of the history of history development,ancient frontier history,Northeast Asian history of state relations,historical philology and so on.At the same time,it will expand its research field of vision.This study is based on the Han cultural circle,and includes two aspects:on the one hand,the spread and influence of ancient Chinese geographical documents to the Korean Peninsula,the development process of the geography records in the historical period of the Korean Peninsula,the influence of Chinese administrative divisions on the Korean Peninsula,and the development of administrative divisions in the dynasties of Xinluo,Koryo and Korea.On the other hand,through vertical and horizontal comparison,this paper analyzes the characteristics,relations,differences and literature value of ancient Geographical records written by Chinese of Korean Peninsula in different periods.Jin Fushi,an official of Koryo,organized the compilation of SanGuoShiJi in 1146,which is the earliest extant historical book on the Korean Peninsula.SanGuoShiJi was compiled in the way of ancient Chinese historical books,it consists of 50 volumes,including Ji,Biao,Zhi and Zhuan.There are four volumes(34-37)in the Zhi part,which record the history of Xinluo,Koguryo and Baiji.The geographical records of SanGuoShiJi have quoted the official historical books of ancient China,such as Hanshu,Houhanshu,Jinshu,Nanqishu,Weishu,Suishu,old Tangshu,new Tangshu,etc.,the historical books of norms and rules,such as Tongdian,and the geographical documents,such as Kuodizhi.This shows that at least before the mid-12th century AD,these ancient Chinese geographical documents had been introduced into the Korean Peninsula and were known to Korean historians.However,before the Song Dynasty,woodblock printing was not widely used and spread,so most of the books in China and the Korean peninsula before the 12th century were transcripts,its quantity is very small,and has not spread to this day.Restricted by the basic historical data,the geographical record of SanGuoShiJi is relatively simple in structure and slightly incomplete in content,but it is of great significance to the compilation of different types of geological records written by Chinese on the Korean Peninsula.After SanGuoShiJi,Koryoshi is another important official history book on the Korean Peninsula.Influenced by different types of compilation thoughts and methods of ancient Chinese historical books,in the early period of the Korean Dynasty,historians debated which way to compile Koryoshi for half a century——Chronology or Biography.Koryoshi was finally compiled into a book by means of biography and spread to the present.Compared with SanGuoShiJi,geographical records of Koryoshi has a richer in content and more complete in style,which is mainly due to two reasons.On the one hand,it benefits from the increasing richness of historical materials and documents;on the other hand,On the other hand,it is closely related to the development of the compilation thought of the official geographic books and the geographic documents such as DaYuanYiTtongZhi since the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty.The geographical history of Koryoshi records the system of administrative divisions in Koryo Period in detail,which reflects the influence of Chinese administrative divisions on Koryo Dynasty.The geographical records of the Shizong veritable records of the Korean Dynasty is another important geographical records written by Chinese in the Korean Dynasty.It is an important feature of Shizong veritable records to add the"records" in the historical records.This shows that the veritable records of the Korean Dynasty was influenced by the thoughts of the Ming Dynasty veritable records,but also had further development.Through the comprehensive comparison of the texts,it can be seen that geographical records of the Shizong veritable records was the geographical records of Gaolishi.The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the prosperous periods of the compilation of Chinese geographical documents.Under the influence of Ming and Qing Dynasties,the geographical records written by Chinese on Korean Peninsula also entered a rapid development stage in the same period.Most of the official and private geographical documents compiled by the Korean Dynasty are based on the geographical records of the Shizong veritable records.They are abundant in quantity and variety,rich in content and varied in ways.However,The middle and later period of the Korean Dynasty,the recorded contents in the geographical documents of the Korean peninsula were not consistent with historical facts.,such as Legend of tanjun,Koguryo,Changbai Mountain and Jiandao.Therefore,in academic research,we need to carefully examine and identify.There are two main innovations in this paper:first,As a part of the Foreign books written by Chinese,Geographical records written by Chinese on Korean Peninsula are paid less attention to by the domestic scholars.Chinese scholars pay less attention to the Geographical records written by Chinese on Korean Peninsula,so only a few of their research papers and works are related to them.Secondly,the innovation lies in the study of the spread of ancient Chinese books and its influence on the historiography of the Korean Peninsula,and analysed the characteristics and literature value in different periods from the perspective of Han culture circle.
