Andong Protectorate

One of the six protectorates of the Tang Dynasty in China. After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo in 668, they established prefectures in the area and the Andong Protectorate in Pyongyang to govern it. However, due to the unification movement of Silla, its seat was moved west to present-day Liaoyang in 676, and to the vicinity of Fushun the following year. As a result of the Khitan Rebellion in 696, it was temporarily abolished in 698. After the rebellion was put down and it was restored in 705, its role was reduced as it came under the jurisdiction of the Jiedushi, and its seat was moved further west. During the An Lushan Rebellion (755-763), it was isolated in enemy territory and abolished after 758.

中国、唐の六都護府の一つ。唐は668年高句麗(こうくり)を滅ぼすと、その地に州県を置き、安東都護府を平壌に置いて統轄させた。しかし新羅(しらぎ)の統一運動に押され、その治所は676年には現在の遼陽(りょうよう／リヤオヤン)、翌年には撫順(ぶじゅん／フーシュン)付近に西遷し、696年の契丹(きったん)族の乱の結果698年には一時廃された。乱平定後705年の復置ののちは節度使の所管に入ってその役割は縮小し、治所もさらに西方を転々とした。安史の乱（755～763）では敵中に孤立し、758年以後に廃止された。
