<<三國史記>> 百濟·新羅 本紀에 보이는 靺鞨 認識 = Malgal(말갈) in the Annals of Paekje and Silla(百濟·新羅 本紀) in the Samguksagi(<<三國史記>>)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The above is to study how Malgal was recognized in both annals, based on the analysis of records about Malgal in the annals of Paekje and Silla in the Samguksagi (『三國史記』) If the records of Malgal in each annal of the Samguksagi(『三國史記』) are put together, Malgal appears to have been from late 1C (B.C.) to early 10C. The period of continual records about Malgal was from 1C to early 6C and most of them were concerned with Paekje and Silla. The records of Malgal in both annals show that Koguryo called the Malgal tribes to wars against Paekje and Silla from 4C to the middle age of 6C.
In both annals of the Samguksagi(『三國史記』), however, the records of Malgal were arranged from 1C(B.C.) to early 6C. I wonder about when the veiw of such annuals was made. Take an example of the foundation year of Silla in the Samguksagi(『三國史記』), it can have been fixed not by the writer of the Samguksagi(『三國史記』), but by the Silla people in the unification period.
In records of Malgal, it is supported that there are spatial similarity between the records of Malgal before early 6C and those of late 7C. Okjeo(沃沮) Dongye(東濊) Ye(濊) Mamaek(貊) were recorded in the annual of Silla before the age of Pasa King. After that period, the records of foreign relations including Malgal were shown, without their records. The spatial range in the records of Magal is almost similar to the geographical positions of Okjeo․Dongye․Ye․Mamaek. This tells that Malgal and Okjeo․Dongye․Ye․Mamaek were the same group. In other words, Malgal in the annals of Paekje and Silla in the Samguksagi(『三國史記』) is considered to have been in the area of Manju and Hamkyeo-Do district. So the spatial range of Malgal appears to have been larger than that of Malgal 7-Bu in the official history of China.
In conclusion, Malgal in both annals was a whole tribe Koguryo had dominated, not a special one.
It will be a task to be solved to prove Malgal’s identity by comparing the records of Malgal in the Samguksagi(『三國史記』) with those of Malgal 7-Bu in the official history of China.
