Abstract

Jurchen lived scattered across the border between the Khitan and Goryeo, and traveled to and from the Khitan and Goryeo according to their interests. Unlike other cases of influx of foreigners, Jurchen’s visits cannot be regarded as settlement or territorial expansion in Goryeo. In this article, I tried to reveal the nature of Jurchen’s visits and visits to Jurchen during the early Goryeo Dynasty and the period of King Munjong’s reign. Early Goryeo Many cases of Jurchen’s immigration into Goryeo did not imply settlement and naturalization in Goryeo. Jurchen’s visits implied a phased relationship with Goryeo. The existence of Jurchen in the early Goryeo was divided into Hwanae[化內] Jurchen, who was allowed to travel within Goryeo, and Hwaoe[化外] Jurchen, who had a distant relationship with Goryeo and sometimes invaded Goryeo and was in conflict. During the reign of King Munjong, Jurchen requested the incorporation of Goryeo into Gun-hyeon. In Goryeo, the Jurchens were hierarchically divided by village, and the chiefs of these tribes were given the authority to rule as government offices in Goryeo, creating a hierarchical order, creating a balance of power among the Jurchens and making it easier to manage them.
