Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to investigate the human exchange between Korea and China in East Asia during the 7th and 8th centuries, mainly through historical records of the epitaphs of people who served for Silla and Tang dynasties during this period. Many human migrations or diasporas occurred between Korea and China at that time. This project focuses on the actual situation of human exchange between the Silla and Tang dynasties, using their epitaphs to understand how the relationship between the two regions should be understood in the history of East Asia.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

従来の一国史的な観点からみたとき、百済・高句麗遺民や往来唐人、および熊津都督府、安東都護府は、朝鮮史研究において周縁的なテーマであった。逆にこれらを主題に置いて研究することで、新たな世界視野の歴史像を提供する点に学術的意義ある。また、本研究の成果は、現在にも影響を及ぼしている東アジアにおける朝鮮半島と中国大陸との関係を考えるうえで重要な知見を提供するものであり、その点に社会的意義があると考えられる。
