영문 초록

Different views have been maintained by different scholars on the location of the ancient tribal state Dokno(瀆盧)which is mentioned in the section on Byon-jin(弁辰) of Dongijon(東夷傳 - Tung-i-ch’uan), the Samgukji (三國志 San-kuo-chieh-History of the Three Chinese Kingdoms), and no determination has as yet been made on this point. First of all, Chŏng Ta-san (Yak-yong 若鏞 丁茶山), the erudite scholar of modern Korea, maintained that present-day Geoje Island (巨濟島)was the site of this ancient state, phonologically interpreting the pronunciation of the name of the state. However, in view of the circumstances around the third century, when the Samgukji was written, this writer can say that this insular area was hardly a place for a powerful tribal state to have prospered. Especially, in consideration of the remarks in that old Chinese history book that Dokno was a port of international importance for its convenience for marine transportation and was close to Japan only with the seas in between, this writer is led to look to some other place, preferably somewhere around Pusan, downstream of the River Nakdong(洛東江), for the most probable site of this ancient state. Dr. Togo Yoshida(吉田東伍) of Japan supposed Dokno to have been situated in present-day Dadaepo(多大浦) of Pusan City, but this area is hardly a probable place for one powerful tribal state to have prospered, either. Later, Dr. Tsuzei Naka(那珂通世)of Japan accepted this opinion of Dr. Yoshida, and Dr. Yi Pyong-do(李丙燾)of Korea, also succeeding to this Yoshida theory, surmised that Dokno must have been located in Dongnae(東萊), which included Da-dae-po in the past. Other than these, Dr. Yasukazu Suematsu(末松保和), also of Japan, made remarks on a probable site of Dokno, too, but his opinion was not far removed from the above-mentioned two theories, one preferring Geoje Island and the other, Dadaepo. Thereupon, this writer, after giving a thorough consideration to these different views preferring either Geoje Island or Dadaepo, looking for a most probable place where a tribal state of the days can have been founded from the point of view of the extant historical remains and also for a most probable location according to historical literature, and judging from the general trend of phonological changes in the language with regard to the names of places, has reached a decision that the location of the ancient tribal state Dokno agrees to the present-day Dongnae Section(東萊區)of Pusan City, that is, the general area of old Dongnae Township(舊東萊邑). For one thing, when viewed from such historical remains as the sites of shell mounds, ancient tombs, earthen castle walls, mountain castle walls, etc. widely scattered in this area and also from the general aspects of the vicinity, it is quite probable that this area was once the centre of a thriving tribal state. For another, present-day Dongnae Section of Pusan City provides an excellent port: the historical remains thereabout verily prove that iron was mined from this area, as is recorded in the Samgukji; and the refore this area can very well have been a centre of international trading. Finally, it is by no means too far-fetched a conclusion that the word ‘Dongnae’ was a beautified version of Dokno by euphony through ages. For all these reasons, this writer has tried to make it clear that Dokno was not located either on Geoje Island or in Dadaepo, but was actually situated in present-day Dong nae Section of Pusan City, beyond reasonable doubt.
