A Study on the Logistics and Management System of Baekje’s Sabi Period: Based on the excavation data of Busosanseong and Ssangbuk-ri in Buyeo

This paper was written to reveal the logistics and management system from the Baekje Sabi period by analyzing the data revealed in the excavation of the remains of Busosanseong(扶蘇山城) and Ssangbuk- ri(雙北里) in Buyeo.<br/> In Chapter Ⅱ, the relics and relics unearthed in the northern gate of Busosanseong and the area of Ssangbuk-ri were analyzed. The northern area of Buso Mountain, which is believed to be the fortress of the Sabi Capital, was so important that the northern gate of Busosanseong was recognized as the main gate. In the survey around the northern gate of Busosnaseong, many tiles and earthenware, chinese-made ceramics and ink slabs, locks, and storage blood were found, indicating that the distribution and management of various goods were carried out. With the discovery of the northern gate of Buknaseong in 2023, it was confirmed that there was one more entrance to the north of Sabi Capital along with the northern gate of Busosanseong. In the northern area of Ssangbuk-ri inside the northern gate of Buknaseong(北羅城), a number of storage water vessels, large jars, Gaya and Silla earthenware, Chinese coins, locks and wooden tablets were excavated, indicating that it was a place where goods were introduced into the capital city through the Geumgang waterway and stored and managed.<br/> In Chapter Ⅲ, the duties of Oegyeongbu(外椋部) and Negyeongbu(內椋部) department in charge of receiving goods from the Sabi period and operating warehouses were further analyzed by referring to the cases of Silla and Japan. In the area of Ssangbuk-ri, where the wooden tablets of the Oegyeongbu was discovered, traces of workshops related to the production of bronze, glass, and lacquerware were found along with the wooden tablets. It is interpreted as evidence of the production of handicrafts as well as the receipt and management of goods in Oegyeongbu. The difference between Negyeongbu and Oegyeong- bu is thought to have shared not only the difference in the location, but also the royal and national finances. In the case of Silla, with the establishment of Nesung(內省) in 622, royal and state finances are divided, and it seems that Jobu(調府) and Changbu(倉部) were in charge of receiving taxes and managing warehouses. The corresponding relationship between Negyungbu and Nesung of Silla, and Oegyeongbu and Jobu •Changbu of Silla is assumed. In the case of Japan, Dejangsung(大藏省, Okurasho) and Nejangryeo(內藏寮, Kuraryo) were in charge of receiving and managing public goods, and it is estimated that the former was similar to Oegyeongbu and the latter was similar to Negyeongbu in relation to the emperor. Handmade production activities were carried out in Dejangsung and Nejangryeo, which is similar to that of Baekje Oegyeongbu. Since the area of Ssangbuk-ri is close to the royal palace and was the main points of waterways and overland transportation hub, it seems that the central administrative office such as Oegyeongbu was located.

Abstract

This paper was written to reveal the logistics and management system from the Baekje Sabi period by analyzing the data revealed in the excavation of the remains of Busosanseong(扶蘇山城) and Ssangbuk- ri(雙北里) in Buyeo.<br/> In Chapter Ⅱ, the relics and relics unearthed in the northern gate of Busosanseong and the area of Ssangbuk-ri were analyzed. The northern area of Buso Mountain, which is believed to be the fortress of the Sabi Capital, was so important that the northern gate of Busosanseong was recognized as the main gate. In the survey around the northern gate of Busosnaseong, many tiles and earthenware, chinese-made ceramics and ink slabs, locks, and storage blood were found, indicating that the distribution and management of various goods were carried out. With the discovery of the northern gate of Buknaseong in 2023, it was confirmed that there was one more entrance to the north of Sabi Capital along with the northern gate of Busosanseong. In the northern area of Ssangbuk-ri inside the northern gate of Buknaseong(北羅城), a number of storage water vessels, large jars, Gaya and Silla earthenware, Chinese coins, locks and wooden tablets were excavated, indicating that it was a place where goods were introduced into the capital city through the Geumgang waterway and stored and managed.<br/> In Chapter Ⅲ, the duties of Oegyeongbu(外椋部) and Negyeongbu(內椋部) department in charge of receiving goods from the Sabi period and operating warehouses were further analyzed by referring to the cases of Silla and Japan. In the area of Ssangbuk-ri, where the wooden tablets of the Oegyeongbu was discovered, traces of workshops related to the production of bronze, glass, and lacquerware were found along with the wooden tablets. It is interpreted as evidence of the production of handicrafts as well as the receipt and management of goods in Oegyeongbu. The difference between Negyeongbu and Oegyeong- bu is thought to have shared not only the difference in the location, but also the royal and national finances.
