고구려 부흥운동기 사야도의 위치에 대하여

Abstract

The three representative figures of the revival movement are Go Yeon-mu(高延武), Gum Mo-zam(劍牟岑) and An Seung(安勝). Gum Mo-zam met An Seung on the Saya island(史也島) and moved to the Jaeryeong(載寧) in 670. The Saya island is estimated to be the Soya island(蘇爺島) in Incheon. But this is only the reason why the pronunciation is similar. The place where Gum Mo-zam and An Seung met is around the Jaeryeong Plain(載寧平野) in Hwanghae-do. If you look at the map of the Joseon Dynasty, there was a sea in Jaeryeong Plain. The name of the sea is Jeryang(濟粱), and there is the Chol island(鐵島) in the center of the Jeryang Sea. The Chol island is located where Daedong River and Jaeryeong River meet. The Chol island was the center of transportation by the waterways of the Daedong River and Jaeryeong River. The western part of the Chol island was recognized as the sea until the Joseon Dynasty. In ancient times, the western sea(西海) can be said to be from the west of the Chol island. The position of the Chol island should be determined in consideration of the ancient terrain. Looking at the ancient terrain and the process of Gum Mo-zam descending southward, the position of the Saya island is estimated to be the Chol island.
