| contents | Maritime trade and diplomatic exchange reshaped political authority in East Asia between the tenth and fourteenth centuries. By combining archaeological shipwreck data, dynastic chronicles and tax registers, this study maps sea‑borne networks that linked the Song, Goryeo, early Joseon and Muromachi polities with Southeast Asian and Indian Ocean ports. Three proxy‑based revenue methods are calibrated against the limited fiscal records that survive. The quantitative results show that customs duties, shipbuilding subsidies and licence fees supplied between one and three percent of total state revenue, that sea‑gift tribute and sea‑passport privileges reinforced sovereign legitimacy, and that innovations such as the magnetic compass expanded the geographic reach of state control. The paper argues that maritime connectivity functioned as a complementary fiscal organ to overland routes, highlighting both shared strategies and distinctive institutional adaptations. |
