朝鲜时期使行译官贸易活动的兴起与衰落

Trade Activities of Interpreters in Joseon Period: Rise and Decline

朝鲜译官作为使行贸易中的主导者和实务者,在朝鲜后期的对清、对日贸易中发挥了积极的作用。尽管朝鲜译官最初积极参与使行的出发点是为了改善生计、积累财富、进而为自身身份上升做铺垫,但是其活动对于朝鲜近代化发展产生了积极影响的同时,客观上对中国、朝鲜、日本之间的经贸交流起到了促进作用。

As leaders and practitioners of tribute trade,the Korean interpreters in late Joseon period played a positive role in the Korean trade with the Qing dynasty and Japan.Initially,the Korean translators wanted to improve their livelihoods,accumulate wealth and then pave the way for raise their status by participating in the mission,while their activities had a positive impact on the development of Korea’s modernization and objectively accelerated the trade among China,Korea and Japan.
