이 논문은 丁卯·丙子胡亂 전후 朝庭의 公論을 이끌었던 주요 인물 중 하나였던 趙絅의 대외인식과 척화론을 시기별로 구분하여 그 내용 과 특징을 정리한 연구이다. 이를 통해, 鄭蘊 이외에는 별로 주목받지 못했던 非西人係 인물의 척화론을 고찰함으로써 당시 政派를 가리지 않고 지지받았던 척화론의 성격을 究明하였다. 그리고, 對明義理의 강 고한 心性的 기반이 어떻게 朝·淸(後金) 양국의 대외관계에 영향을 미 치고 있었는지도 살펴보았다. 덧붙여, 병자호란 이후 조경이 주장한 明과의 密通, 助兵反對, 日本請兵 등이 어떠한 역사적 배경에서 제기되 었으며, 어떤 성격을 가진 논의였는지 재검토하였다.

In this article, the thoughts and stances of an individual named Jo Gyeong(趙絅) is examined. He was one of the opinion leaders of the Joseon government during the crises of Manchurian invasion in the Jeongmyo and Byeongja years. His view of foreign situations and the issue of boycotting peace with the enemy were what led to his remarks and his actions, so they require a closer look. All the characteristics are searched for and identified. Through this task, the notion of boycotting peace with the enemy suggested by a ‘non-Westerner,’ which had deserved better attention than it had in the past, except for the case of Jeong On(鄭 蘊), was discovered and examined. It reveals that the notion was indeed supported by all the parties at the time, so all related facts are examined accordingly. Examined next is how the loyalty issue toward Ming was affecting the Joseon-Qing relationship in terms of mentality and sympathy. Also examined is why Jo Gyeong argued that Joseon should maintain secret communication with Ming, should not send troops that would be sent against Ming, and should ask Japan for troops. The historical background and nature of such discussions are all discussed here in this article.
