『고려사』 지리지 ‘대경기’ 기사의 비판적 검토 ― 공민왕 18년 경기 탁전(度田)으로의 재해석 ―

Abstract

Reviewing it as a reference to the land survey(度田) project of the Gyeonggi region conducted in the 18th year of King Gongmin-wang’s reign - Inside the Geographics section of 『Goryeosa』, there is a reference to an administrative policy regarding a ‘Grand Gyeonggi’ region that was implemented in the 23rd year of King Munjong’s reign. Recently this reference was argued as a valid one, yet in terms of logic and proofs, one could say such argument is far from valid. This reference is actually made to the land survey(度田) project of the Gyeonggi region which was conducted in the 18th year of King Gongmin-wang’s reign. Statistical information regarding the Eub-ho titles of those times concurs with such conclusion. This ‘Gyeonggi’ exhibited a range which was exactly the same with that of the revised Gyeonggi reign in the 2nd year of King Gongyang-wang. Because of the cause presented at the enthronement of King Gongyang-wang, the political faction which was promoting the land ownership reform during the ending days of the Goryeo dynasty was not in a position to acknowledge the result of the Gyeonggi area land survey project, as it was the accomplishment of Shin Don’s reforms. So they labelled this administrative policy of the Gongmin-wang’s time as ‘the old practices of the Munjong days’, and in the Jiri-gi section of 『Goryeosa』, the date of implementation was recorded as the 23rd year of King Munjong’s reign, and not Gongmin-wang’s 18th year.
