  • At the beginning of the Roman imperial period, moralizing authors criticized a material from the East that quickly gained popularity among the elites: silk. During Late Antiquity, the trade, production, and use of purple-dyed silks increasingly became the privilege of the emperors. While literature, court poetry, and laws give insights into the discourses surrounding silk, they are rather unspecific concerning silk qualities. This contribution analyzes the scattered descriptions of silks in Greek and Latin texts in a diachronic perspective, with a focus on the 1st cent. BCE to the 4th cent. CE, paying particular attention to the terminology, products, origins, and qualities of silk. The aim is to build a framework for comparisons with archaeological silk finds and other textile terminologies along the Silk Roads. Here, the silk finds from the oasis city of Palmyra/Tadmor in modern-day Syria, dating from the 1st cent. BCE to the 2nd cent. CE, will be used as a case study for the early imperial period. Taking these silk finds as a comparison, it will be shown that Greek and Latin terminology does not match the variety of silks known in the Mediterranean. Rather, linguistic differentiations focus on the forms in which silk reached the Mediterranean, as skeins, yarns, and fabrics, as well as on the different kinds of silks that were produced in the West, namely pure silk and half-silken fabrics, checkered "scutlata" damasks, purple-dyed, and gold-embellished silks. In contrast, silks from the East were subsumed under the term for "silks from the silk people" or simply "silks". Moreover, ancient authors do not use the terms in the same way. These findings show the limitations of Western silk terminology and the importance of combining archaeological and written sources.

  • Many historians presume that several kings included the crown prince were killed by poison in the Jo-Soon dynasty. Above all, there is every possibility of killing the crown prince So-Hyoon(昭顯) by poison. The crown prince So-Hyeon was detained for 8 years in Sim-Yang(瀋陽). He died suddenly in two month from coming home. According to an authentic record, official death causes were malaria. But there is little possibility that a young crown prince die of malaria at the age of 34. His dead body shows change of skin color and bleeding from the ear, eye, mouth, and nose. This is the sufficient evidence that he was killed by poison. King In-Jo have a doubt that he was ousted from his post by crown prince So-Hyeon in conspiracy with cheong imperial court. Especially, after the crown prince So-Hyeon's death, owing to cold attitude that king In-Jo shows and a tragic affair that occurred to the crown prince's family, king In-Jo is under suspicion as the mastermind of the murder. Another poisoners are Jo-So Yong(趙昭容) and Lee-Hyeong Ik(李聲益). Jo-So Yong, a royal harem, intrigue against the couple of crown prince So-Hyoon. Lee-Hyeong Ik that win king In-Jo's favor take charge of the medical treatment. We supposed that toxic substance is arsenic poison.

  • Empirical research into Đại Việt before the $14^{th}$ century has made little progress since the 1990s. To improve this situation, I here examine how the L$\acute{y}$ dynasty (1009-1226), the first long-lasting dynasty of Đại Việt, established stable local ruleafter the "Tang-Song Transition" in China that changed the entire picture of East Asia (including both Southeast and Northeast Asia). This paper focuses on two issues. First are the local administrative units and their governors. The nature of both higher units like lộ(circuits), phủ and ch$\hat{a}$u (provinces), and basic units like hươg and gi$\acute{a}$p (districts?) will be examined. Second, I examine non-institutional channels of local rule by the imperial family. By combining such administrative and non-administrative means, the L$\acute{y}$ central court enforced a considerably stable local rule for two centuries. Finally, I attempt some preliminary comparisons with the local rule of Goryeo (918-1392) in the Korean peninsula, a polity that shared many features with Đại Việt in the process of localization of the Tang and Song models. I hope this approach of viewing small empires from the standpoint not of their "goal" (modern states) but of their "start" (charter polities), will enrich the discussion of East Asian small empires.

  • 이 글은 비교정치제도적 시각에서 민주화이후 지난 30년간 한국 대통령제의 진화과정을 분석, 평가, 전망하였다. 민주화이후 한국 대통령제는 3김시기의 제왕적 대통령제에서 3김이후 "대통령중심적 대통령제(president-centered presidentialism)"로 진화하였다. 이러한 진화과정에 제도적 요인(정치자금법을 비롯한 주요 정치관련법, 각 정당의 제도 개혁)과 비제도적 요인(대통령의 리더십성격)이 작용하였다. 이러한 진화과정을 분석한 결과 우리들은 앞으로 정치제도개혁을 통해 현행 "대통령중심적 대통령제"를 "대통령-의회 권력분립형 대통령제"로 발전시킬 가능성을 발견하였다. 특히 지난 30년간의 민주화 추세를 고려해보면 한국 대통령제가 장차 권력분립형 대통령제로 발전해 나갈 수 있을 것으로 전망된다. 이제 통치과정에서 대통령 우위의 "대통령중심적 대통령제"에서 벗어나 앞으로 행정, 입법, 사법 3부가 서로 대등한 통치의 주체로서 견제와 균형을 이루어 민주주의를 발전시켜 나가야 한다. 그동안 국회의 대통령 견제와 감독기능의 증가, 사법부의 독립성 증대, 시민사회의 책임 있는 정치적 참여 증가등이 권력분립형 대통령제를 가능하게 할 것으로 본다. 따라서 지난 30년간 대통령제하에서 우리들이 이룩한 민주적 성과를 유지, 발전시켜 나가려면 현행정부형태를 바꾸지 않고 대통령제를 유지하는 가운데 현행 대통령제의 문제점을 시정해 나가는 것이 바람직하다. 이를 위해 현행 헌법상의 대통령 권한을 축소하고, 4년 중임의 정부통령제로 변경하는 개헌이 필요하다. 또 현행 헌법의 내각제적 요소를 제거해야 한다. 그리고 권력분립형 대통령제를 뒷받침할 수 있도록 국회제도, 정당제도, 선거제도, 대선후보 경선제도를 개선하고 대통령제와 관련된 잘못된 인식과 잘못된 정치적 관행을 고쳐 나가야 한다.

  • When people discuss the continental cultural elements in the ancient East Asian culture, people always attach great importance to the two major cultures of Confucianism and Taoism, but offer little explanation to the significant influence of the theory of yin and yang, the important philosophical base of the two major cultures. The theory of yin and yang, existing as the theoretical source at a profounder level, possesses philosophical connotations that are always embedded into the mainstream of thought, religions and customs, displaying its unique glamour in its unique way. Its influence is more than that, however. It has exerted far-reaching influence on and is of significant importance to the development of the ancient culture of East Asia. This article aims at exploring this field of study. After the erudite scholar of The Five Classics made a voyage to the east in the early sixth century, The Book of Changes, the most important Chinese ancient classic expounding the theory of yin and yang, started to circulate among the Japanese court, via Baiji in the Korea Peninsula. As a result, the theory of yin and yang found its way to Japan. Examining the spreading channels, we learn that the theory's dissemination was largely related to the activities of Buddhist monks. Shoutoku Prince, regent of Japan at the time, was himself an enthusiastic supporter of Buddhism and was excelled in the study of The Book of Changes and the theory of yin and yang. In the Twelve Ranks System and Seventeen-article Constitution promulgated by Shoutoku Prince, the influence of the theory of yin and yang and of the theory of the five elements can be visibly discerned. This obviously proves the sublime status of the Chinese theory of yin and yang in Japan, thanks to the victory of the political clique that adored Buddhism. In the shaping course of ancient Japanese culture, the theory of yin and yang served as an important philosophical source of its development. Mythology based on Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, two earliest Japanese books that exist today, record mythological stories about the emergence of the Japanese nation. The notion about the birth of heaven and earth and the forming of Japanese Shinto, expressed in the mythological stories, not only tell us the source and historical progress of the Japanese nation but also the nation's world outlook in the transition from barbarian period to civilized period, as well as the basis for its philosophical thinking. All these were marked with profound influence of the Chinese theory of yin and yang. The theory of yin and yang, as one of the ancient Chinese academic thoughts, was accepted asa political belief when it first spread to Japan. The emergence and establishment of both the Mikado system and the centralized regime in ancient Japan drew largely on the theory of yin and yang and adopted it as an important philosophical basis to deify and aggrandize the "imperial power" so as to protect the authority of the imperial ruling and consolidate the established regime. Following the continuous strengthening and expansion of the centralized state power, the theory of yin and yang was further employed, and gradually "hidden" in Japanese culture with the passage of time, finally becoming the edge tool of ancient Japanese Mikados in exercising political power and controlling the country.

  • 이 글은 강호자연과 정치현실을 반복적으로 넘나든 고산(孤山) 윤선도(尹善道)의 삶과 그의 문학에 대해서 고찰한 것이다. 특히 강호와 조정의 두 현실에 대해서 어떤 인식 양상을 보이며, 작품에 어떻게 투영되어 나타나는가에 초점을 두어 살폈다. 그리고 이를 바탕으로 그의 문학관을 검토하였다. 먼저 정치적 시련의 시초가 된 상소문을 통해서 정치현실과 타협하지 않는 직선적 성격과 이에 내재된 강한 정치적 성향을 지적하고. 이를 출처관과 관련지어 논의하여 재설명하였다. 이에 두 면모는 각각 대결의식과 두 현실을 상황에 따라 넘나드는 모습으로 투영됨을 확인하였다. 그리고 윤선도가 주로 기거한 금쇄동(金鎖洞)의 산수 경관을 술회한 <금쇄동기(金鎖洞記)>의 내용을 분석하여 자연관의 총체가 '회심(會心)'으로 집약됨을 밝혔다. 이 회심에는 강호 생활에 대한 만족과 그에 따른 윤리의식이 내포되어 있는데, 이것이 그대로 작품에 투영되고 있다. 끝으로 단편적으로 문학에 대해 언급한 글을 살펴보고, 자연의 법칙과 윤리의식을 작품에 담아내야 한다는 것이 윤선도의 문학관이라고 규정하였다.

  • The purpose of this study was to consider the kinds and features of costume and fabrics of the early Koryo period which are mentioned in the records of costume system, royal presents and diplomatic articles at that time ranging from the reigns of king Gwangjong to king Gyeongjong and to king Seongjong. Findings of the study can be summarized as follows. In the 11th year of king Gwangjong's reign, the official costume system was established, which reflected the royal will to independence as an imperial nation. That system also became the basis of the official wage system in king Gyeongjong's reign. In the reigns of king Gwangjong and king Gyeongjong, the monarch granted official uniforms to persons who passed the state examination, directly connecting with new bureaucrats and strengthening the royal authority. Those uniforms were usually worn at a banquet where the monarch and subjects participate together in the early Koryo period. In the reign of king Seongjong, costume and fabrics were positive means of realizing political Confucianism as they were used for bureaucrats who advanced to official position through the state examination. Records issued at that time explain that the monarch presented costume and fabrics in an effort to getting along with officials and civilians of different classes as the state and the royal authority stabilized. Found in the records released in the reigns of king Gwangjong to king Seongjong, the kinds of costume or fabrics at that time include jikseongeuio, gap, yongeui, seupeui, gyegeum baekcheop, geumeunseon gyegeumpoyok and po. The techniques of manufacturing armors in the early Koryo period were probably advanced since the item was a craftwork presented to the court in the reigns of kings Gwangjong and Gyeongjong. Presumedly, baekcheop was a kind of hemp and po. Koryo's native hemp cloth.

  • The research follows several steps. First, the chinese 'WangSung' and 'KungSi' System are verified positively. Next, the structure of palace in Choson Dynasty is deduced based on those chinese systems. Finally, the common system that is also applied in other government-operated spaces is found. The result can be summarized as follows. It is clarified from reviewing the chinese 'WangSung' and 'KungSil' Systems that the 'OyoiCho' is located in 'WhangSung(the imperial city) but out of' KungSung(the palace). Therefore, the research points out that all sort of theories explaining the 'OyoiCho' of Choson Dynasty is a space of 'in-place' are false. The palace system of Choson dynasty seeks the substantiality grounded on the substantial function of 'SamCho(three spaces)' rather than its strict principle dividing main spaces by several doors-'KungMoon' Moreover, it is also certified that the 'ChonChoHooChim' system, literally the political court is located at the front and the private section is at the other(back) side, is directly applied on the palace of Choson Dynasty. This idea has been developed into 'inner and outer' concept and repressed in palace as the 'OyoiChon(outer palace) and NaeChon(inner palace)' concept. conclusion, the research suggests that the dual concept in space such as 'ChonHoo(front and back) and 'NaeOyoi(inner and outer)' basically comes from 'Eum Yang' theory and influences in building other government-operated spaces: for example 'ChongMyo(the royal ancestors shrine)', 'SoWon(a private school of Choson dynasty), 'HyangKyo(a local school annexed to the Confucian shrine)' and 'KwanAh(a governmet agency)'

  • A feature of present fomula of dietary habitus is the result of its traditional succession, as like as the newly established culture is rooted in the inherited traditional culture. So, it is very important to discriminate the kind of korean traditional foods and to discuss the historical background of the foods in use, since they have to develope better dietary conditions in furture by using modern theory of dietetics. But there are few literatures concerning to korean traditional foods clear at a glance. However, some traditional foods including technology of cultivation and processing have been transmitted from generation to generation in some districts. Therefore, author has attempted to investigate the history of traditional foods. The results obtained were as follows. 1. A lots of traditional foods which were gifts to imperial court alloted to districts or civilian foods during Choson dynasty have been transmitted up to date, and the method of cultivation and processing are well preserved. Among them out standing examples are: 1) persimmon and its processed goods. 2) red pepper and malted pepper catchup. 3) ginger and its processed goods. 4) honey, bean sprouts etc. 2. It has been reported that ginger was cultivated in China in 5th century B.C. and in Korea early in 16th century. But historical relationships between them could not be confirmed. However, from SAMKUKSAGI and the report by Lee, Suk Woo(1754-1825) who was governor of Chonla province and remarked ginger as a sacred herb at Wanju county, Bongong town, it is suggested that ginger is a natural growing herb in Korea. 3. Soonchang malted pepper catchup is one of outstanding traditional foods which our ancestor have processed with red pepper. Peru is the place of origin, where they have cultivated pepper from 1st century. It is conceivable that pepper was transmitted from Europe to korea late in 16th century, and the first report on existence of pepper in korea was written in 1613. Therefore, it seems that malted red pepper catchup was processed 30 or 40 years later.

  • 박열·가네코 후미코 사건이란 일본에서 1923년부터 1926년까지 약 3년 동안 식민지 조선인 박열과 제국 일본의 '무적자' 가네코 후미코가 대역 사건 피고인으로 받은 재판과 '괴사진' 사건 등 그 전후에 발생한 일련의 사건들을 말한다. 박열과 가네코 후미코 관련 사건은 종종 보도가 금지되었지만, 식민지조선에서 그들에 대한 기사는 간헐적이지만 끊임없이 드라마틱하게 이어졌다. 본고는 식민지조선에서 발행된 신문에서 이 사건이 기사화된 방식을 퍼포먼스의 관점에서 살펴 사건이 전달·수용된 양상과 의미를 밝혔다. 퍼포먼스의 주인공답게, 박열과 가네코 후미코는 1923년 구속된 이후 형무소 독방에 갇혀 있었음에도 형무소 바깥 세상을 향해 '행동하는 자'였다. 그들의 '행동'은 기민하고 파격적이었다. 1926년 박열은 세 가지 요구 조건을 걸고 재판 방식을 조율했고, 그래서 박열과 가네코 후미코는 조선예복을 입고 일본 재판정에 등장해 조선말로 자신들의 이름을 알렸다. 대역 사건은 일제에 의해 만들어진 것이지만, 재판 자체를 하나의 사건으로 만든 것은 그들이었다. 또한 박열과 가네코 후미코는 1925년 5월 예심 조사실에서 앞뒤로 밀착해 앉은 자세로 괴사진을 찍었고, 1926년 7월 이 사진이 괴문서와 함께 신문에 실리면서 사법부와 내각을 뒤흔들었다. 그들은 불온한 사진을 남겨, 자신들을 가두고 재판한 일본 사회에 문제를 일으켰던 것이다. 식민지조선의 신문이라는 '무대'의 특성에 따라 이들의 행동은 특별하게 전달되고 수용되었다. 우선 보도 금지 때문에 관련 보도가 간헐적으로 그러나 지속적으로 이어지면서, 사건이 플롯화된 채 알려져 긴장감이 증가했고, 조선인 또는 무산계층이 연루된 사건이 '만들어지고' 있음을 느끼게 했다. 둘째, 재판 전후의 진행 과정을 공연 관람기처럼 기사화하며 재판극을 경험하도록 했다. 박열과 가네코 후미코의 의상과 움직임, 그들이 사용한 언어를 밝히고, 그들과 재판관이 주고받는 문답을 대본처럼 기술하였다. 셋째, 재판부 판사의 '담화'를 되받아 쓴 '사설'과 괴사진의 이야기성을 확대 재생산하는 기사를 통해, 박열·가네코 후미코 사건이 일본 사회에 일으킨 논란과 분란을 문제적으로 드러냈다. 박열·가네코 후미코 사건은 다이쇼 데모크라시 시대의 조화가 깨진 사태를 보여주는 사회적 드라마였다. 본 연구는 이 사회적 드라마에서 박열과 가네코 후미코가 한 역할과 이 사회적 드라마가 식민지조선에서 갖는 의미를 밝혔다. 박열과 가네코 후미코는 행위자로서 이 드라마를 직간접적으로 기획·추진했으며, 일제에 대한 피압박 민족의 당당한 저항을 드라마틱하게 수행했다.
