The Studies on early days of Bohai history studies in China from the viewpoint of history of historical studies: Focusing on the historical studies of Jin Yufu
金毓黻の『渤海國志長編』は、満洲事変で軟禁中の1931年11月に執筆を開始し、解放された12月に大体を書き上げたが、初稿は1932年1月に完成し、改稿・増補を経て、1934年5月に刊行された。彼は渤海領域図に旧地名を入れ、満洲国否定の意思を明確にしたが、その説明をする「叙例」を1931年12月作成と記し、日本側に真意を悟られないようにした。当時の彼の満洲国否定意識は、愛国より愛郷によるもので、彼には中国東北を蔑ろにしてきた中央への批判意識もあった。日本批判とは裏腹に、日本人研究者と密接に交流しており、亡命後も相互に尊敬しあう姿も確認できた。そこには現在の論争を解くヒントを見ることができる。
“Bohaiguozhichangbian” written by Jin Yuhu began writing in November 1931 when he was placed under house arrest by Japanese army in the Manchurian Incident and was mostly written up in December 1931 when he was released. After that, the first draft of this book was completed in January 1932,the final draft was published in May 1934. He expressed he gave a denial to the Manchu Empire by putting the pre-Manchu-Empire place name in the Bohai territory map, and he wrote the fictional date of "Preface and Legend" as December 1931 writing, as Japanese failed to notice his real intention. His denial of Manchu Empire was by localism rather than nationalism at that time. He was in close contact with Japanese researchers, contrary to his sense of criticism towards Japan, and he and Japanese researchers respected each other even after he was exiled to China.We can find tips to overcome the controversy about Bohai's belonging in their friendships.
