Abstract

Paekche''s maritime history research had emphasized maritime activities from a nationalistic perspective, but it is necessary to examine the status of Paekche history, which was connected to both China and Japan through the East Asian sea. This connection in East Asia can be accessed through the concept of ‘network’. The concept of ‘network’ in this study is divided into two. The first is the concept of a ‘coastal route network’, the second is a pluralistic “ocean network”. The marine network during the Hansŏng period of Paekche is divided into the first - 3rd centuries, the second - 4th centuries, and the third - 5th centuries. In the first period, the coastal route network was maintained led by China, and in the second period, after the coastal route network was strained, Paekche connected to China with a new route, and rebuilt the south-west coastal route network. The third period was a period when Paekche tried to maintain its network of coastal routes, although the stability of the Yellow Sea central cross route was reduced due to Koguryŏ. Paekche was the important node of the East Asian maritime network. However, Paekche during the Hansŏng period did not dominate all coastal areas, and it was operated in the form of a network while maintaining the independence of coastal maritime forces. The East Asian maritime network, which Paekche connected through cross route and coastal routes, was a multidisciplinary order.
