Abstract

Border history is territorial history. The central theme of border history in the early Joseon Dynasty was the pioneering of Sagun-Yukjin during the reign of King Sejong. Among them, Yukjin is the core of the border history in the northeastern part of the early Joseon Dynasty. The writer investigated the problem by comparing the location of Yukjin which is considered in the current high school Korean history textbook, with the four-way boundary records recorded in “Sejong Silok Geography”. The current high school Korean history textbook describes the Yukjin area as the Hamgyeongbuk-do area along the Tumen River in North Korea. However, in “Sejong Silok Geography”, which is a record at the time of attack of Yukjin, the four-way the boundaries of the six Dohobu corresponding to Yukjin are recorded. In particular, the routes to Gongheomjin and Seonchunryeong, where you can know the northern boundary, are accurately recorded. According to this, it was confirmed that Yukjin area is considered (northern region of Hamgyeongbuk-do) in the Korean history textbook was about five times smaller than Yukjin recorded in “Sejong Silok Geography”
