The Emperor's Guest: Emotions and Interests in Ambassadorial Transactions
About This Novel
The exchange of envoys is the main form of the tribute system and an important way of interpersonal communication, cultural exchange and trade in the traditional era. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China and North Korea had close relations, and envoys had frequent exchanges, leaving a large number of relevant records such as "Envoys to North Korea", "Chaotian Records", and "Yanxing Records". This book uses these materials, combined with "Records of the Joseon Dynasty" and personal collections, to show the multiple aspects of the system, emotions and interests related to the imperial edict, so as to enrich our understanding of the history of Sino-Korean relations and the tribute and canonization system during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
