Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, I examined the diplomatic missions and the phenomena which related to them in East Asia in the 10th to 13th centuries, especially about envoys dispatched between the Jin dynasty and the Southern Song each other. East Asia in this case, includes Qitai (Liao dynasty), Jin dynasty, Mongol (Yuan dynasty), Five dynasties, Northern Song, Southern Song, Koryo, Xixia and the surrounding powers of these countries.
The historical sources, which were published already, but which weren't being used so much in the past, were called "new historical sources" here, and this research was studied based on those historical sources. As a result, most outcomes were ones about the relation between Jin dyansty and Southern Song after the Dading treaty concluded in 1160 's in particular.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

10～13 世紀の東アジアは多国分立状況にあり、その中で多くの外交使節が往来した。しかし、現状では基礎的事実すら未解明の部分が多く、金と南宋間においてそれが著しい。本研究ではそのような金・南宋関係の、特に大定和議以後の時期についての成果を多く残すことができた。これは広く前近代東アジアの国際関係に関する研究に資するのみならず、例えば当該時期は朱子学を生み出した時代であることから、同時期を対象とする諸分野の研究にも示唆を与える意義をもつものである。
