A Study of the History of Water Transportation in the Choson Period

本研究的目的是通过对朝鲜时期水运基本资料的收集、整理和分析，厘清朝鲜时期水运的具体面貌，并从不同角度考察水运对韩国社会经济的影响。具体地说，我承担了以下两个项目：1)澄清作为全国陆税粮食运输系统的厨房船舶运输系统的制度和实际情况；2)澄清船主的海上活动。针对第一个项目，我收集了作为研究朝鲜时期的基本资料的《朝鲜王朝志》中关于Choun的条目，并将其计算机化。我已经完成了从Taejo国王到Sonjo国王的条目收集，并已经将从Taejo国王到Yonsangun的条目计算机化。关于第二个问题，我收集了关于济州岛居民的海上活动的条目，以及19世纪由P‘yoin yongnae Tungnok造成的沉船和失事船只。此外，我还考虑了朝鲜末期济州岛漂流者来源的伪造问题，并在期刊文章中发表了这项研究的结果。

The purpose of this study is to clarify concrete aspects of water transportation in the Choson period through the collection and arrangement of basic data for water transportation and analysis based on these data, and then to consider effects that water transportation had on Korean society and economy from different angles. Specifically, I undertook the following two projects.1) Clarifying the system and actual condition of choun as the galley ship transportation system that was the national shipping system for land tax grain ; and2) Clarifying maritime activities by vessel owners.Concerning the first project, I collected entries regarding choun in the Choson wangjo sillok Annals of the Choson Dynasty), which is the fundamental source for the study of the Choson period, and computerized them. I have completed the collection of entries from King Taejo to King Sonjo and have computerized the entries from King Taejo to the Yonsangun. Concerning the second, I collected entries regarding maritime activities by Cheju islanders, and shipwrecks and castaways which resulted, in the nineteenth century from the P'yoin yongnae tungnok. Also, I considered the issue of the falsification of the origins of drifters from Cheju island in the late Choson period, and published results of this research in journal articles.
