新羅王京과 流通

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the capital of Silla kingdom, the production of goods was made by both government operation handicraft industry and private operation handicraft industry. These products were manufactured in a central area of the city and ceramic related handicraft industry was established outside the city.
In Silla kingdom, metal and cloth were circulated in substitution for exclusive currency. In three kingdoms period, cheuljung(鐵鋌) was used for the same purpose. However, in Unified Silla period, dongjung(銅鋌) and guemjung(金鋌) were gradually used in important substitution for currency with replacing cheuljung(鐵鋌). Cheuljung(鐵鋌) was used in substitution for currency only. Guemjung(金鋌) was served as an exchange medium for service and goods in long distance travel.
For the distribution of goods, the man driven wagon was mainly used for this purpose. This fact is well supported by some evidences such as a wagon shaped ceramic recovered from Kerimro toms in Kyongju and the track of wagons discovered in old road remains of Silla period. In the city there were a lot of roads as well as official roads which connect the provinces with the city. There were a capital station in the capital and five stations between the capital and the provinces.
There were three government operation markets such as East Market, West Market, and South Market in the capital. These markets were installed for supporting royal groups' urban life and for the supplying governmental offices with necessary goods and the disposal of surplus goods of governmental offices in relation with tax collection and expenditure. Other surrounding nations also had East Market and West Market as well. This fact well explains that both handicraft industry and commerce cook a large parts of business activities of the citizen in this period.
