『高麗史』 五行志의 체재와 내용－自然災害의 발생추세를 중심으로－

Abstract

Basically Goryeosa(高麗史) Ohaengji(五行志) make it a rule to accept the format of Wonsa(元史) Ohaengji. But the former didn't follow the latter unilaterally. On the one hand two texts have a lot in common such as format and articles, on the other hand they have some differences. For example reflecting the reality of the Occurrences of Natural Disasters, Goryeosa Ohaengji has different contents and articles comparing the Wonsa Ohaengji. Besides some articles of Goryeosa Ohaengji follow the other chines history texts such as Songsa(宋史), Sindangseo(新唐書) etc. Goryeosa Ohaengji has several values as historical material, because there are some contents that is not found in other texts. But sometimes it has some problems such as omission and repeating of records. It is assumed that the reason of omission and repeating of records have caused by several correcting process during compiling the Goryeosa. Sometimes such problems have occurred when deciding whether or not to record the Occurrences of Natural Disasters. Because of the belief of the interaction between heaven and man(天人感應), occasionally the records of the Occurrences of Natural Disasters have omitted or exaggerated by the political explanation. This study analyzed long-term trends of the Occurrences of Natural Disasters in Goryeo Dynasty through Goryeosa Ohaengji. Analysis shows that especially the records of Natural Disasters increased in the early 12th century and late 14th century. However it was also found that the records of extraordinary phenomena(災異) was increased in some periods. For example the records of extraordinary phenomena was increased in the periods such as military coup d'etate(武臣政變), seizure of political power by Choi Chung-heon(崔忠獻), the war with Mongol, the beginning of Mongol Intervention(元干涉), middle and late period of King Chungryeol(忠烈王). These are the typical periods of the social changes in Goryeo Dynasty, so the increase of the extraordinary phenomena are regarded as the addition of the records by the political explanation.
