白山學會 創立 55周年의 回顧와 向後 課題

백종오 백산학회 2022 白山學報 Vol.- No.122

The Paek-San Society was founded on April 27, 1966 (Wednesday) by focusing on research and publication of the history of continental relations. The founders were the most outstanding scholars of the time, and most historians and archaeologists participated. This year, 2021, is a significant year that marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of the Society. This article introduces the foundation and activities of the Society, the history of continental relations, and 『The Paek-San Hakpo』, which were discussed at the symposium to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the foundation of the Paek-San Society, held in 2021. It also suggests some concerns related to the direction to pursue for the Society in the future. If these concerns are specified, it could develop into a Society where the 60th anniversary can be expected. Afterward, we hope The Paek-San Society of the 77th, 88th, and 100th anniversaries. The Paek-San Hakpo (Journal of Paek-San) has published 121 issues (as of December 2021) since its first issue (June 12, 1962), and the number of manuscripts published is a total of 1,117 articles, including regular and non-regular papers. It can be proudly said that it has played a significant role in the growth of the Korean history academia along with its predecessors, 『Journal of The Chin-Tan Society (Chin-Tan Hakbo)』, 『History Gazette』, 『History Education』, and 『History Research』. In particular, in line with the purpose of its founding, it maintains a unique and clear identity in the fields of Northern and Continental Relation History. The first academic conference was held in 1996 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Society under the theme of ‘Growth and Territory of the Korean People’. It has broadened the scope of northern history such as holding the 40th-anniversary conference in 2006, titled 'Reminiscences and Prospects of the History of the Northern Relations of the Korean People', 'Huseok Cheon Gwan-woo's Research on Korean History and Recognition of History' in 2016, and in the following year, ' Retrospection and Prospects on Border Studies in Korean History'. In 2021, a meaningful academic conference titled ‘Retrospection and Tasks on the 55th Anniversary of The Paek-San Society’ was held to contemplate the future direction through the retrospections on the Society. In addition, an academic symposium on the relics of Yi Sun-sin at the estuary of the Duman River was promoted under the theme of 'The Archaeological Achievements and Historical Values of Nokdun Island'. It was an international academic conference in Korea and Russia. This means that an academic event of a new paradigm was organized in line with the purpose of the founding of the Society, and it was an opportunity to highlight The Paek-San Society more clearly. Nokdun Island is currently part of the Russian Primorsky Territory. This is an area that has shown close cultural and historical affinity with the Korean Peninsula, ranging from prehistoric times to modern times. In particular, it is a treasure trove of prehistoric culture. It was also the base of Eupru, Okjeo, Goguryeo, and Balhae Kingdoms in our history and the modern and contemporary military activities by Korean civil volunteers and the independence movement. Considering Russia's social atmosphere and academic trends, which are quite different from those of China, it is good to take a long-term approach to the Paek-San Society. 白山學會(The Paek-San Society)는 1966년 丙午年 4월 27일(수)에 대륙관계사 연구와 출판에 방점을 두고 창립되었다. 발기인은 당대 최고의 석학으로 역사학자와 고고학자들이 대부분참여하였다. 지난 2021년 辛丑年은 학회가 창립된 지 55주년이 되는 뜻깊은 해였다. 이 글에서는 2021년에 개최된 백산학회 창립 55주년 기념 학술대회에서 다루어진 학회의 창립 및 활동, 대륙관계사와 『백산학보』 등에 대한 내용을 소개한 후 앞으로 학회가 나아가야 할방향에 대한 몇 가지 의견을 제시해 보았다. 이후 喜壽, 米壽, 白壽의 백산학회도 꿈꿔본다. 『白山學報』(The Paek-San Hakpo)는 창간호(1966.12) 이래 지금까지 121호(2021.12)를발간하였으며 수록된 원고는 정규 및 비정규 논문을 합쳐 모두 1,117편에 이르는 방대한 양이다. 선배 학보 격인, 『진단학보』, 『역사학보』, 『역사교육』, 『사학연구』 등과 함께 한국 역사학계의성장에 비약적인 일익을 담당해 왔다고 자부할 수 있다. 특히 창립 취지에 맞게 북방사 및 대륙관계사 분야에 있어 독보적이며 선명한 정체성을 유지하고 있다. 첫 학술회의는 1996년 丙子年에 창립 30주년을 기념하여 ‘한민족의 성장과 영역’의 주제로 진행되었다. 2006년 丙戌年에는 창립 40주년을 기념하여 ‘한민족 북방관계사의 회고와 전망’, 2016년 丙申年에는 창립 50주년 ‘후석 천관우의 한국사 연구와 역사인식’, 그 다음해 丁酉年에는‘한국역사상의 강역과 국경연구에 대한 회고와 전망’으로 북방사의 외연을 넓히게 되었다. 2021 년 辛丑年에는 창립 55주년 ‘백산학회 창립과 대륙관계사의 회고’라는 주제로, 본 학회의 회고를통한 향후 방향성에 대해 논의하는 뜻 깊은 학술회의를 마련하였다. 아울러 두만강 하구의 이순신유적 학술심포지엄 ‘鹿屯島의 고고학적 성과와 역사적 가치’라는 주제의 한국과 러시아 국제 학술회의를 추진하였다. 이는 학회의 창립 취지에 부합하는 새로운 패러다임의 학술행사를 조직하였다는 의미와 함께 백산학회를 보다 선명하게 부각시키는 계기가 되었다고 할 수 있다. 녹둔도는현재 러시아령 연해주에 속한다. 이곳은 선사시대부터 근현대에 이르기까지 한반도와 밀접한 문화적, 역사적 친연성을 보여온 지역이다. 특히 선사문화의 보고이며 우리 역사 속의 읍루, 옥저, 고구려, 발해 등은 물론 한국 근현대의 의병활동과 독립운동의 근거지이기도 하였다. 중국과는사뭇 다른 러시아의 사회 분위기와 학문적 경향에 비추어 백산학회가 장기적으로 접근해 보는것도 좋다고 생각된다.

백산학회 창립 초기 ‘대륙관계사’ 구상과 편찬

이준성 백산학회 2022 白山學報 Vol.- No.122

본고에서는 백산학회가 창립한 1960년대 중반의 시대적 분위기를 살피고, 이를 기반으로 ‘대륙관계사’의 구상과 편찬을 중심으로 백산학회의 초기 활동은 추적하였다. 백산학회에서는 창립초기부터 ‘대륙관계사’ 개설서를 출간하여 배포하는 계획을 세웠다. 이는 당시 역사학계에서는찾아보기 어려운 사례였다. 그것은 1960년대 중반 만주에 대한 사회적 관심이 증가하고, 역사학계에서도 식민사학에 대한 연구와 비판이 본격화되던 분위기와 연동되는 움직임이라 할 수 있다. 다만 ‘대륙관계사’ 개설서의 서술과 간행이 계획에 따라 원활하게 진행된 것은 아니었다. 수집된원고는 『백산학보』 17호(1974년 12월)에서 24호(1978년 6월)에 걸쳐 시대 순으로 수록되었고, 이들 원고가 『韓民族의 大陸關係史』라는 제목의 단행본으로 출간된 것은 다시 10년 가까운 시간이 흐른 1987년 4월이었다. 백산학회 창립 이전 ‘대륙관계사’ 연구는 한국 역사학계의 공백지로 남아있던 분야였기에, 학회 창립 이후 여러 노력은 관련 분야의 선구적 역할을 한 것으로 평가받고 있다. 특히 그것은 학술적인 목적 뿐 아니라 현실적인 목적을 염두에 두고 진행된 것이었다. 또한 백산학회의 노력은 ‘민족적이고 주체적인 입장에서’ 연구를 진행하고자 하였다는 측면에서 당시 역사학계의 과제였던식민사학 극복 노력과 궤를 같이 하는 것으로 평가할 수 있다. The Paek-San Society was founded in April 1966. It is noteworthy that from the beginning of its foundation, The Paek-San Society made a popular and practical plan to publish and distribute the introductory “History of Continental Relations.” It is a difficult case to find in the historical community at the time to make a plan with the public in mind from the stage of founding a society. This can be said to be linked to the process of the memories of Manchuria being recalled in the 1960s. The Paek-San Society‘s study of the “History of Continental Relations” played a pioneering role in the field that remained a vacuum in the Korean historical community. It was conducted with a realistic purpose in mind as well as an academic purpose. In addition, the efforts of The Paek-San Society can be evaluated as being in line with the efforts to overcome colonial history, which was a task of the historical community at the time, in that it tried to conduct research from a “national and independent standpoint.”

The Paek-San Society was founded for the purpose of research and publishing continental relations through a general meeting of founders held on April 27, 1966. Renowned historians and archaeologists of the times attended the general meeting held that day, and the first chairman Kim Sang-ki and vice chairman Yoo Bong-young were appointed. Council members were elected as well. The Paek-San Society published the first academic journal On December 15, 1966, the first year of its foundation, and its contents were reported in a daily newspaper through a press conference hosted by the Society on January 10, 1967. Since its foundation, the Society focused on publishing academic journals led by Kim Sang-ki and Yoo Bong-young. While publishing papers related to continental relations history, the Society also made efforts to include related materials such as Gando. The Paek-San Hakpo(Journal) was published twice a year from the beginning, but the publication schedule changed somewhat. It has been published three times a year since the 62nd issue in 2002. The editorial review of the journal contained a detailed editing process. In addition, "Materials" were included in the appendix from the No.1 Issue, mainly document records and reports related to Gando maps. Meanwhile, in addition to the publication of academic journals, The Paek-San Society also made efforts to publish a continental relations history and compiled "Korean Continental Relations History" in 1987. It also has been holding an academic conference on continental relations history since 1996. Although The Paek-San Society was founded later than the Chintan Academic Society or The Association of Korean Historical Studies, it has published 121 issues until recently. In that sense, it deserves to be highly praised in terms of the number of academic journals and not much different from the journals of previously founded academic societies. Given that the high proportion of theses related to continental relations history, it is considered useful to reacting to the Northeast Project of China and territorial issues, and the status is never regarded as low. 백산학회는 1966년 4월 27일 서울 뉴코리어 호텔에서 발기인 총회를 갖고 대륙관계사의 연구와 출판을 목적으로 창립되었다. 이날 개최된 총회에는 당대를 대표하는 역사학자와 고고학자들이 참석했으며, 초대 회장 김상기, 부회장 유봉영이 선임되었다. 이밖에도 평의원으로 고병익, 이병도, 신석호, 천관우 등이 선출되었다. 백산학회에서는 창립 첫 해인 1966년 12월 15일에 학보 1호를 발행하였고, 그 내용이 1967년1월 10일 학회 주최 기자회견을 통해서 일간지에 보도되었다. 학회 운영은 창립 이후 김상기와유봉영이 중심이 되어 학보 간행에 매진하였는데, 대륙관계사 관련 논문을 게재하는 동시에 間島 등의 관련 「資料」를 수록하기 위한 노력도 진행되었다. 최근까지의 학회 운영은 현재까지 8대의 회장을 거쳐 왔는데, 초대 회장인 김상기부터 4대회장 신형식까지 46년 동안은 운영 여건상 연임 체재였다고 할 수 있다. 운영위원 체제의 틀이새롭게 잡히기 시작한 때는 2012년부터이고, 그 이전에는 평의원과 편집위원 중심이었다고 볼수 있다.

간도협약 직전(1908) 청국의 백두산 국경 날조사건에 관한 연구

서길수(徐吉洙) 백산학회 2009 白山學報 Vol.- No.83

1908年淸政府对长白山和鴨綠江ㆍ图们江展开了大规模的活动。当时劉建封接到东三省总督徐世昌的命令,协同張鳳臺、李廷玉等二十多名调查人员率领军队对长白山和鴨綠江ㆍ图们江行了为期三个月的徹底调查。并且给长白山的多处山峰以及其他众多山峰和河流重新命名,对国境问题进行了广泛的调查,完成了《長白山江崗志略》、《長白征存錄》等重要的专门境资料。 1908年开展的这次调查清政府带有很明确的目的性,明显是为解决日本之间的间岛而寻找新的对策。 第一, “穆克登的白头山定界碑是从小白山处迁来的,以处在小白山下方的胞胎山为分水岭,从鸭绿江到图们江沿途另外还有十个十字界碑”,他们虽然提出这一主张,但是却不能出示任何佐证。清政府就这样按照自己的意愿把国境线从长白山移到了胞胎山,颠倒了黑白。 第二, 他们又主张了“从白头山定界碑到图们江沿途的土堆、石堆是‘穆克登’以前 ‘覺羅吳木訥’留下的”,这个说法简直荒唐到令人发笑的地步。只要读过‘覺羅吳木訥’的《封長白山記)》就能轻易识破这个谎言。清政府调查官员泰然地提出这种主张的态度甚至让人可怜。 第三, 重新给車嶺山脈周邊的山峰和河流命名, 歪曲历史,这也是清政府侵犯周边国家领土的典型做法。即,把韩国境内已经有名字的山峰和河流改名,比如胭脂峰→鶴頂峯,三池淵→七星湖, 胞胎山→葡萄山, 劍川→葡萄河, 愛滹江→曖江, 天山→將軍峯. 大角峯→龍山等,并把清国的人口迁往那里。这个问题在1907年第一次开始国境调查时的注意事项中曾经被提及过: “⑥调查國境碑遗址,迅速迁移百姓,增加守备是最重要的事情。” 可见这在顺序上是相互吻合的。 并且给两处地名(天山, 劍山)赋予1000多年前唐朝薛仁貴的傳說, 这也是清政府的别有用心。在满洲地区到处能听到不少关于薛仁貴的傳說,長白縣的渤海靈光塔前、大連大黑山山城等这些薛仁貴根本不可能到达的地方都流传着他勇猛善战地击退高句麗的传说。薛仁貴到 过长白山这一故事是清政府歪曲历史而编造的一出手法低级的历史闹剧。 第四, 在1885年和1887年的國境會談上,捏造紅土山和元池(后来的圓池)是清朝皇帝祖先诞生的发源地这一做法某种程度上是能够让人理解的。清朝建立国家以后,历经300年的统治,直到灭亡的前四年仍然没有找到自己的发祥地。清朝皇帝这种努力寻找自己祖先诞生地的精神是相当可嘉的,但是为了占有别国的山河领土,没有任何根据地说其是自己祖先发祥地,这种连自己祖宗都出卖的行为真是令人玩味。 以上所述1908年清政府设定剧本的核心就是以胞胎山为分水岭, 制造出“西为鴨綠,東为图们”的分界线。西爲鴨綠 ‘南胞胎山的水向西南方向流至三江(胞胎河ㆍ南溪水ㆍ北溪水)→劍川江→ 鸭绿江’,東爲图们 ‘北胞胎山的水向东流至三江(紅丹河, 糾雲水, 半橋水)→大浪河→圖們江’。这样当时作为最大问题的江问题就解决了,原来 ‘鴨綠江-长白山-图们江’ 这一國境线就变为了 ‘鴨綠江-胞胎山-图们江’,把长白山完全划分在韩国领土之外。如果拿着现

『백산학보』 55년의 성과와 과제

전상우,이정빈 백산학회 2022 白山學報 Vol.- No.122

The Paek-San Hakpo, whose first issue was published on December 15, 1966, is one of the journals with the longest tradition in the field of historical studies and also holds high reputation for its academic achievements. The achievements of The Paek-San Hakpo are indispensable to understanding the academic history of the historical studies circles in South Korea and show some of its aspects. The Paek-San Hakpo is a comprehensive journal in the field of historical studies. One of its characteristics is its main topics including ancient history, northern territorial history, and territorial issues compared with similar journals in each field. It is also characterized by its strong interdisciplinary nature in the field of archeology as well as historical studies. The Paek-San Hakpo was created by resonating with the task of the times, which was to criticize and overcome colonial historical studies, in the historical studies circles of South Korea in the 1960s. Generally, it had a strong nationalist tendency, but it looked out for the nationalist perceptions of history in a section of society and tried to maintain its academic exactness. As a consequence, it contributed to the external extension of South Korea's historical studies circles to the history and culture of East Asia and the grassy plain of Eurasia neglected by the circles. As it is clear in the "Recollections and Prospects" of Yoksa Hakbo, The Paek-San Hakpo has continued to attract the attention of the academic circles with a certain proportion of its papers and sought after new topics according to special feature plans across various topics. In recent years, it is especially focusing on local history and public history, seeking the combined growth of many different academic fields. There are expectations for its future growth. 1966년 12월 15일 창간된 『백산학보』는 역사학 분야에서 가장 유구한 전통을 가진 학술지의하나이다. 학술적인 성과 면에서 역시 명성이 높다. 그러므로 『백산학보』의 성과는 한국 역사학계의 학술사를 이해하는 데 빠질 수 없으며 그의 일면을 보여준다. 『백산학보』는 역사학 분야의 종합학술지에 속하는데, 각 분야의 유사 학술지와 비교해 고대사ㆍ북방사ㆍ영역 문제를 주된 주제로삼았다는 점에서 하나의 특징을 찾을 수 있다. 또한 역사학뿐만 아니라 고고학 분야의 학제적 성격이 강하였다는 점에서 또 하나의 특징을 찾을 수 있다. 『백산학보』는 식민주의 역사학 비판ㆍ극복이란 1960년대 한국 역사학계의 시대적 과제에 공명하면서 창간되었다. 대체로 민족주의적 성향이 강하였지만, 사회 일각의 국수주의적 역사인식을 경계하였고, 학문적 엄정성을 유지하고자하였다. 그 결과 한국 역사학계에서 소외된 동아시아 내지 유라시아 초원지대의 역사와 문화로 연구의 외연을 확장하게 하는 데 기여하였다. 『역사학보』의 「회고와 전망」을 통해 알 수 있듯 대체로 일정 비율 이상의 논문이 꾸준히 학계의 관심을 받아왔으며, 다양한 주제의 특집을 기획하면서새로운 주제를 모색해 왔다. 특히 최근 들어 지역사와 공공역사에 주목하며 여러 분야의 학문을아울러 성장을 모색 중이다. 향후의 성장이 기대된다.

韓未 海西地方 夜學運動의 實態와 運營主體

金炯睦(Kim, Hyung-mok) 백산학회 2001 白山學報 Vol.- No.61

Night School Movement(夜學運動) in the region Haeseo(海西) developed in the form of founding private school. The central figures were government officials, teachers, rich persons, students in the higher education and so on. These were members of Seobuk academic society (西北學會) and Heaseo education general meeting(海西敎育總會), also mostly Christians. jeon, Bong-Hun(全鳳薰), county headman of Baechon(白川), and Lee, Yong-Pil(李容弼), county headman of Jaeryeong(載寧), as provincial officials, led not only Night School(夜學) but also campaign for enlightenment Kim, Ku(金九), educational affair inspector of Heaseo education general meeting at that time, took the lead not only in this region but in region Seobuk. So Yangsan School(楊山學校) and opening of summer institute reflected this. The scale of student number of Night School had a large variation from 10 to 180. The number of most Night School student was from 20 to 60. However Night Schools over 100 were the system similar to official education, made up of director, head teacher, teachers and employees. The number of persons, indebted to Night School, amounted to thousands at least This was never small than public schools. Learning period was continued mostly from six months to two years. However learning period of the Night Schools, supported by provincial officials and inhabitants, more prolonged relatively. Managing expense depended to more contribution than school fee. Unusually this expense was made up of duty educational fee, which inhabitants shared in according to level of life, The learning places for Night Schools made mostly use of private Schools and Town halls. Of course private houses also were used to Night Schools. Like this, the scale and equipment of Night Schools was not enough. Desire to learn, however, was not behind that of public schools. Sincerity of teachers, founders and supporters was main cause for the students desire to learn. The most of curriculums was made up of learning of Korean Letter, elementary Chinese Letter and arithmetic. The learning of Korean Letter would be the means of inspiring of national spirit, beyond merely crusade against illiteracy. Especially, physical exercises were importance to them with martial spirit. According to composition of learners and local conditions, moreover, curriculums were adopted and performed in various forms. Opening of Athletic meets made use of the moment of concentrating inhabitants on the one hand and the space of lecture meetings on the other hand. Activists of enlighten in the region Haeseo laid stress upon movement of founding private schools. Compared to the Night School Movement in other region, such as Gyunggido(京畿道), Pyungyangdo(平安道) and Seoul, these activities, however, prevented them from activating of the Movement. Along with reinforcing of military ruling, so-called Anak incident(安岳事件) brought about decisive weakening of overall national movement not to mention education movement After 3ㆍ1 Movement, the expansion of culture movement made chance of rise of Night School Movement Though, Night School Movement had problems such as tendency of opportunism in relation with national liberation movement. The critique of preparation argument of Shin, Chaeho(申采浩) had connection with the real state of affairs.

渤海文化の二重的特徴

李宗勳(Lee, Jong-Hoon) 백산학회 2003 白山學報 Vol.- No.67

As Lia-Tung areas in ancient age had lived many nations and tribos, the Characteristic of that place did not explain a single concept Therefore, we cannot describe her culture as seen by modern national identity. But Bohai was a dynasty by the core factors of Malgals with the koguryo’s supports. Bohai was muti-nation dynasty, so that her history and culture could not compare with other ancient countries. This is the reason that Bohai’s stadies were very delicate and complicated in views of one side opproach. In conclusion, bohai(Balhae) had dual characteristics with Koguryo and Malgal. But these double-faced culture of this dynasty had much difficulties in studies. On the other hand, Bohai used the dual-national name by Koguryo and self country.

豆滿江 河口 鹿屯島 李舜臣 遺蹟의 共同調査 成果와 展望

백종오 백산학회 2021 白山學報 Vol.- No.121

This paper examines the results and significance of the excavation and investigation of the remains of Admiral Yi Sun-shin in Nokdundo Island at the basin of the Duman River. To this end, it reviewed the archaeological environment and related literature of Nokdundo Island, excavation survey results, and their significance. The first international academic survey was conducted on the remains of Admiral Yi Sun-shin in the Duman River basin, an important historical place in Korean history. This can be of great significance above all in that it has attempted a more specific approach to Admiral Yi Sun-shin's activities in northern areas. As is well known, this area is bordered by three countries: North Korea, Russia, and China. The investigation set a milestone as the first excavation of the Nokdundonongbo in the military control zone, where military tensions linger. Sponsored by Seoul City Government, the Inter-Korean Historians Association, the Primorsky Krai Branch Office of the Russian Military History Association, and the Museum of Far Eastern Federal University formed a joint investigation team for the project. Beginning from the first survey in 2018, the fifth survey was conducted this year. As a result, the project achieved great success in excavating the cultural layer of the Joseon Dynasty and archaeological relics of the same period in Area 2 (Seongjang), the center of Nokdundo Island. In addition, it became an opportunity to recognize the terrain and natural environment of Nokdundo Island, which had been vaguely thought until then. Regrettably, the North Korean investigation team could not participate, unlike originally planned. Most of the relics of Admiral Yi Sun-shin's northern area remain along the downstream area of Duman River in North Korea. From its distribution scope, China can also participate in the joint project where South Korea, North Korea, and Russia work together. Some representative examples of such joint projects include Josanbo Fortress and Great Victory Monument (Seungjeon Daebi) in the Naseon City of North Korea, beacon and regiments belonging to the Josanbo, Gyeongwonbo Fortress and Muibo Fortress in Gyeongwon, and Gyeongheung Buseong Fortress and Seosurabo Fortress. Among them, the experience in the battle of Nokdundo Island is thought to have been fully exercised through the strategy to sweep "the complete victory by Admiral Yi Sun-shin" during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. For example, Admiral Yi Sun-shin once served without any title in wars after the Battle of Nokdundo Island in September 1587. Later, in September 1597, he achieved a great victory called the Great Battle of Myeongnyang. Is it a coincidence of history? It also happened when he was reinstated as a commander of the Naval Forces of Three Provinces after 10-year serving without a title. It is no exaggeration to say that the basis for 23 wins out of 23 battles was the Battle of Nokdundo Island. I remember the first time when I prepared for this project. It reminds me of an article in a daily newspaper that I read while conducting the "Research on the Promotion of a South Korea-Russia Joint Investigation of the Relics of Admiral Yi Sun-shin in Naseon and Nokdundo, " as a project sponsored by the Ministry of Unification in 2018. Among the tour schedules of Naseon City in North Korea, Victory Pedestal (Seungjeondae) and Great Victory Monument of Admiral Yi Sun-shin were indicated as tourist attractions, and it was possible to enter by land through Tumen or Hunchun city in China. Currently, the joint investigation has been done by South Korea and Russia. However, the Russian investigation team had invited archaeologists from North Korea. If South Korea invites Chinese archaeologists, the joint investigation on Admiral Yi Sun-shin's relics collaborated by South Korea, North Korea, Russia, and China can also be expanded and developed as a realistic project plan. Such international cooperation projects are expected t... 이 글은 두만강 유역 녹둔도 이순신 유적의 발굴조사 성과와 그 의미를 살펴본 것이다. 한국사에 있어서 중요한 역사적 장소인 두만강 유역의 이순신 유적에 대한 최초의 국제 학술조사가 이루어졌다. 이는 이순신 장군의 북방활동에 좀 더 구체적인 접근을 시도하게 되었다는 점에서 무엇보다도 큰 의미를 부여할 수 있다. 주지하듯이, 이 지역은 북한과 러시아, 중국 등 3국의 접경지역이다. 이번 조사는 군사적 긴장감이 맴도는 군사통제구역 안의 녹둔도농보 추정지의 최초 발굴조사라는 이정표를 세우게 되었다. 이 공동 조사는 서울시의 후원으로 남북역사학자협회와 러시아군사역사학회 연해주지부, 극동연방대학교 박물관이 공동조사단을 구성해 추진한 것이다. 2018년 1차 조사를 기점으로 올해까지 모두 5차 조사를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 녹둔도 중심지인 城場 지역에서 조선시대 문화층의 발굴과 동 시기의 고고 유물을 확보하는 개가를 올리게 되었다. 아울러 막연히 생각되었던 녹둔도 일대의 지형과 자연 환경을 보다새롭게 인식하는 계기도 되었다. 물론 당초 계획과 같이, 북한측 조사단이 참여 못한 것은 매우 아쉽게 생각한다. 이순신 북방유적은 대부분 북한의 두만강 하류를 따라 남아있다. 그 분포 범위로 볼 때, 남한과 북한 그리고 러시아만이 아닌, 중국도 참가하는 남한ㆍ북한ㆍ러시아ㆍ중국의 공동조사 실현도 상정해 볼 수 있다. 북한 나선시의 조산보와 승전대비, 조산보 소속의 봉수 및 연대들, 경원의 건원보와 무이보, 경흥부성과 서수라보 등이 대표적이다. 이중 녹둔도 전투의 경험은 임진왜란시 ‘충무공 이순신 장군의 전승 전략’으로 유감없이 발휘되었던 것으로 생각된다. 실례로, 이순신은 1587년 9월의 녹둔도 전투 후 백의종군 한 바 있다. 이후 1597년 9월에 명량대첩이라는 쾌거를 이루었다. 역사의 우연인가. 역시 백의종군 후 삼도수군통제사로 복직되었을 때다. 꼭 10년만의 일이었다. 23전 23승의 기반은 ‘녹둔도 전투’라고해도 과언이 아니다. 처음 이 사업을 준비할 때가 생각난다. 2018년에 통일부 과제로 「나선-녹둔도 이순신 유적남ㆍ북ㆍ러 공동조사 추진 방안 연구」를 수행하면서 보았던, 한 일간지의 기사가 생각난다. 북한나선시의 관광 일정 중 ‘이순신의 승전대와 승전대비’가 명소로 들어가 있었으며 이곳은 중국의도문이나 훈춘을 통해 육로로 입경할 수 있다는 것이었다. 지금은 한국과 러시아의 공동조사이다. 하지만 러시아측 조사단을 매개로 북측의 고고학자를초청한 바 있었다. 이렇듯 남측이 중국의 고고학자들을 초청한다면 ‘남한ㆍ북한ㆍ러시아ㆍ중국의 이순신 유적 공동조사’도 현실적인 프로젝트 방안으로 확대ㆍ발전시킬 수 있다고 생각된다. 이러한 국제 협력사업은 한국사의 역사적 인물인 忠武公 李舜臣 將軍이 중심이 되어 東北亞 平 和 共同體의 기반을 조성하는데 일정하게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 전망된다. ‘이순신의 사람됨은 말과 웃음이 적고 얼굴은 단아하여 마치 수양하며근신하는 선비와 같았다. 그러나 가슴속에 담력이 있어몸을 잊고 나라를 위해 죽었으니이는 평소 수양을 쌓아온 때문이다.’ -『懲毖錄』 중에서-
