朝鲜初期对明“宗系辩诬”问题

Debate on “Ancestral Relationship” with Ming Dynasty in the Early Joseon Dynasty

高丽末期实行的对北元和明朝的"双重外交"使新兴的朝鲜王朝危机重重,其表现之一是"宗系辩诬"。"宗系辩诬",是明朝与朝鲜半岛在建立新政权的过程中,由双方信任危机而引起的。朝鲜与明朝所进行的"宗系辩诬"问题,始于1394年(朝鲜太祖三年),终于1588年(明朝万历十五年),持续长达近两个世纪,经过了朝鲜5代国王和26位使臣的19次奏请。最终在《大明会典》第三次修改时,以注释形式方得修正。朝鲜王朝以"宗系辩诬"为契机,确立政权的正统性和合法性,积极展开对明"事大外交",试图探求对明的新的"事大外交"。

The implementation of "dual diplomatic policies" to North of Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty had made the start-up Joseon Dynasty in crisis.One of the crises was the debate on Joseon's"ancestral relationship",which was caused by the loss of trust between Ming Dynasty and the new regime on Korean Peninsula.The debate lasted for nearly two centuries,i.e.from 1394(the third year of Taejo of Joseon)until 1588(the 15th year of Emperor Wan Li).Five Joseon kings and 26 envoys involved in the nineteen petitions to the Ming Dynasty.Finally,it was revised in the annotation of Code of Great Ming Dynasty.With this as the turning point,Joseon Dynasty established its orthodoxy and legitimacy,and actively began to pursue and explore the"serving great power diplomacy"with Ming dynasty.
