본문내용

Korean peninsula is located in the east of Asian continent, bordered by China to the northwest. This geographical proximity with China has strongly influenced the history of Korea from the earliest times. For many centuries, Korea was a member state of the Chinese tribute system in Sinocentric order, acknowledging the superiority of the Chinese power over Korea. One example of Korea’s submissiveness to China is demonstrated in Chinese historical documents Da Ming Hui Dian, which is the collected statutes of the Ming dynasty, praising Korea as the best tributary states. It is praising Korea for 3 facts: (1) the Korean kings requested investiture regularly; (2) Korean envoys showed proper decorum and ritual; (3) Tribute of Korea was paid promptly (Feng, 2014, p.66) As shown in this example, Joseon was a representative vassal of Ming in history.
During the Joseon dynasty, the concept of ‘sadae (事大)’, which is interpreted as ‘serving the powerful’ defined the relationship with Ming(1368–1644).
