초록

As evidenced by an entry pertaining to Baekje’s tribute to China dated from 372, exchanges between Baekje and China were opened. Some scholars have expressed doubts as to the veracity of the long accepted logic that it took Baekje, which had traded with China from early onwards, some 50 years to make contact with Eastern Jin following the establishment of the latter. The discovery of shards of porcelain emanating from Eastern Jin amongst Baekje relics has led some to claim that exchanges between Baekje and Eastern Jin may very well, have taken place prior to 372.
This study begins by analyzing the characteristics of tribute and investiture that existed between Baekje and Eastern Jin. That being said, a look at historical materials shows that no formal tribute investiture relationship was ever established between Baekje and Eastern Jin.
This study also focuses on the main actors within Eastern Jin when it comes to exchanges with Baekje. It is clear in the case of Baekje that the main actor involved in exchanges with other kingdoms was the king. While the conclusion could easily be reached that the emperor of Eastern Jin was at the forefront of exchanges with other countries the latter in reality wielded only limited power. In reality, the power belonged to the aristocracy. To this end, the Yangzhou area from which most of the porcelain of Eastern Jin emanated had long been under the control of the aristocrats that wielded real power at the time. Given the political situation that thus prevailed in Eastern Jin, it is highly possible that the exchanges with Baekje were led by a powerful local aristocrat rather than by the emperor of Eastern Jin. As such, while the porcelains of Eastern Jin were in fact introduced during the early and mid 4th century, such trade was not recorded in official historical material because it was not carried out through the emperor of Eastern Jin.
There is a high likelihood that such trade between Baekje and Eastern Jin conducted in pursuit of concrete advantages, trade which did not go through the central government, was implemented from the very early stages of the relationship. As exchanges with other countries were regarded as the unique privilege of the royal family, the exchanges with Eastern Jin can be regarded as having helped to heighten the authority of the royal family of Baekje. Meanwhile, given the general state of uncertainty that surrounded the very existence of the state, there would have been no reason for Eastern Jin to forego engaging in lucrative trade with other countries. As such, it is estimated that the exchanges between Baekje and Eastern Jin had already started from around 330, or when Eastern Jin was founded and the internal rebellions had been suppressed.
