渤海의 멸망과 遺民의 諸樣相

The Destruction of Palhae and Many Aspects of Palhae Descendants - On the Basis of Palhae Descendants Related with East-Qidan -

The purpose of this article is to try to examine the process of building and destroying East-Qidan(東丹國) and the nature of the nation and to try investigate many trends of Palhae Descendants under the rule of East-Qidan. Palhae was destroyed by the invasion of Qidan in 926. East-Qidan was built in the territory of Palhae right after Palhae was destroyed. East-Qidan is not the nation succeeded by Palhae. The term ‘he second Qidan’ is likely to be more suitable. The various movements of Palhae Descendants can be observed under the rule of East-Qidan. First, there were Palhae Descendants who were actively participating in the governing system of East-Qidan. For example, representative figures were Daesohyeon(大素賢)ㆍPalhaeNosang(渤海老相)ㆍKomohan(高模翰) who were nominated in the high rank of East-Qidan. Second, there were many Palhae Descendants who did not actively participate in the rule of East-Qidan and who didn't resist the rule of East-Qidan. Third, there were Palhae Descendants who strongly resisted the rule of East-Qidan. The activities of these Palhae Descendants are connected with the building of Hungryo(興遼) and Daepalhae(大渤海). Fourth, there were many Palhae Descdndants who moved and lived in the other area of Qidan because of the policy of Qidan. Fifth, there were many people among Palhae Descendants who took refuge in China, Korea and Djurchin. The important tasks to be solved in the history of East-Qidan are to clarify the relationship among East-Qidan, Post-Palhae(後渤海) and Jungan(定安國). That is because the existing duration of East-Qidan and these two countries are similar and these three countries bring about much confusion of the activities of Palhae Descendants. It is more important to reestablish the various relationship of the Palhae Descendants who lived in three countries. Furthermore, it is necessary to comprehensively understand the various relationship of the Palhae Descendants in terms of the contemporary East Asian in a broader sense.
