다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Gyeongjeong Minseong Lee went to China as a seojanggwan, documentation officer with Jeongsa Kyeongjeon Lee and Busa Hweon Yun during Ming dynasty by sea to petition to proclaim Injo who restored in Mar. 1623 to the throne. Minseong Lee wrote about this official journey in Gyehaejocheonrok and ‘Yeonsachangsujip’ . ‘Yeonsachangsujip’ is a collection of poems chanted by Minseong Lee, Jeongsa and Busa, which was recorded in Vol. 6, 7 and 8 of Kyeongjeongjip and Gyehaejocheonrok which contains the courses and events during the official journey as a form of diary was recorded in Vol. 1, 2 and 3 of the sequel to Kyeongjeongjip. Minseong Lee came back from his official journey in Apr. 1624 and went to his hometown in May. 1624 and then edited the poems of Yeonsachangsujip according to the order of journey and completed Gyehaejocheonrok. At the time when the three officers went on the journey by sea, six ships departed and Minseong Lee recorded about the six ships and the list, number and occupation of the persons on board, the size of the ships and etc. in detail, which enables the scale and number of participants on the official journey to be identified and it can be assumed that Injo who restored had taken great pains over his being appointed as the king. Also, the lives of merchants of Euiju who struggled to trade with Deungju, a new route for trade with China due to the block of land route for trade with China are assumed by the wooden plates distributed to control the persons in Euiju who wanted to be assistants for engaging in business in Deungju. The seaway used for the official journey of Minseong Lee was a waterway from Seonsapo in Pyeongan province to Deungju in China. After arriving at Deungju, he went to Beijing by passing Churo in land routes. Churo was a place scholars of Joseon wanted to visit very much because scholars of Joseon used to have Nacherleben through reading books in Churo. Gyehaejocheonrok succeeded the writing style of diary which records daily events every day from envoy’s travel literature and investigated the historical facts and described objectively the remains and customs of Churo region regarding the journey of forty days in detail from the day he arrived at Deungju in Jun. 13 to the day he arrived at Beijing. Therefore, Gyehaejocheonrok has strong characteristic of anthropogeography unlike former envoy’s travel literature. Gyehaejocheonrok which has strong characteristic of anthropogeography written by Minseong Lee affected envoy’s seaway travel literature afterwards and the works of geography with maps describing the seaway journey based on the route, not diary style were created.
