15世纪初日朝外交的多维镜像:以日僧圭筹、梵龄的使行活动为中心

Activities of Japanese Envoys in the Early 15th Century in the Joseon Dynasty:A Study Focused on Kuei Ch'ou and Fan Ling

在古代东亚海域诸国的交往中,僧人群体发挥了关键作用,其跨境活动促进了域内文化、信息、器物等多个层次的沟通与流转。将历史的镜头拉至15世纪初的日朝交往前沿,作为外交使节的日僧圭筹、梵龄一行携带求请《大藏经》经板的使命而来,双方围绕经板给赐的交涉与博弈不仅反映了日朝宗教互动的一个侧面,亦呈现出两国在情报往还、人员流动、文化交互等多重维度的交流实态。对二人的使行活动进行考察,不仅有助于还原当时日朝外交中的多元细节与历史现场,亦能以此为线索,一窥朝鲜王朝初期的对日外交心态。

In the exchanges among the countries in the pre-modern East Asian maritime region,monks played an important role.Their cross-border activities facilitated communication and circulation of culture,information,and artifacts at multiple levels within the East Asian maritime world.In the early 15th century,Japanese envoys Kuei Ch'ou,Fan Ling and their followers came to Korea for“the Dazangjing”(Buddhist scriptures,the Great Treasury Sutras).Their negotiations on this matter reflected one aspect of the two countries'religious exchanges and also demonstrated the multi-dimensional exchanges in intelligence,personnel movement,and cultural interaction between the two countries.Examining the activities of Kuei Ch'ou and Fan Ling's mission not only helps to reconstruct the diverse details and historical scenes of Japan-Korea diplomacy at the time,but also provides a clue to examine the diplomatic attitudes of the early Joseon dynasty towards Japan.
