초록

During the reign of King Taejo, Goryeo formed diplomatic relationship with Late Tang dynasty and Late Jin dynasty among the five dynasties. Goryeo formed relationship with Late Tang dynasty in order to contain alliance between Late Baekje dynasty and Khitan. At the time, the international situation was characterized by alliance between Late Baekje dynasty in the south and Khitan in the north and confrontation between Goryeo in the east and Late Tang dynasty in the west. Therefore, Goryeo needed assistance of a force that was able to resolve pressure between Khitan and Late Baekje dynasty; Late Tang dynasty was such force. For its part, Late Tang dynasty was not able to disregard Goryeo because Goryeo was the only force to contain on the back Khitan’s moving southward. It was from October 927 when they came to know about travel exchange between Late Baekje dynasty and Khitan that both nations recognized the need for each other. In 932 of Late Tang dynasty, it determined installation of Wang Geon in order to contain Khitan.
In 935 and 936, great change occurred in East Asia. On the Korean Peninsula, Silla and Late Baekje dynasty were unified by Goryeo, and the Late Tang dynasty collapsed and Late Jin dynasty was established in five dynasty areas. Goyeo maintained friendly relationship with Late Jin dynasty as well. The reason was that it may be invaded by a force from the northern areas. Khitan was ceded the Sixteen Prefectures from Late Jin dynasty in November 936 and since then it triggered military collision with Goryeo and put continuous pressure on it with unilateral demands. Certainly, late jin dynasty also needed Goryeo in order to contain Khitan that may attack it anytime; both nations had a common enemy. From such perspectives, diplomatic relationship at the time was formed with political purposes of national security rather than from cultural or economic aspects.
