On the rough edges of diplomacy. “Loyalty”, “debt” and “sadae” in the 17th-18th centuries in Korea
Abstract
The roots of the diplomatic relations between the states on the Korean peninsula and the “Middle Kingdom” date back to the first centuries A.D. China was considered as a “civilized” state that should serve as an example of morality and righteousness. On the diplomatic level these circumstances formed the concept of the sadae - “to serve the great”. The article focuses on the duality of the socio-cultural relations between the Chosŏn dynasty (1392-1910) and the Qing dynasty (1644-1912). Even though Chosŏn agreed to the fact that the Qing dynasty would be a new superior, the Korean kings still cultivated in the inner politics of the country the loyalty towards their previous superior, the Ming dynasty (1368-1644).
