嘉靖时期辽东地区的朝鲜使臣贸易

The Korean Envoys Trade in Eastern Liaoning During the Jiajing Period

嘉靖时期,中朝两国关系持续向好,朝鲜在儒家文化的指导下,乘明廷"议大礼"之机提升了其在华政治地位。然而,朝贡体系下朝鲜赴明贸易活动却受限颇多。朝鲜公贸物品不得不依靠使臣悉力求购。朝鲜使臣为谋求政治、经济利益积极易换国内亟需物品,遂使私贸呈上升趋势。辽东地区特殊的地缘、军政环境使其成为朝鲜使臣贸易的理想区域。

During the Jiajing Period,the relations between China and Korea were constantly good.Under the guidance of Confucian culture,Korea took the opportunity of"discussing the great rites"of the Ming imperial court to enhance its political status in China.However,under the tributary system,Korea’s trade activities with Ming Dynasty were quite limited.It had to rely on its envoys to purchase goods from China.In order to seek political and economic benefits,the Korean envoys actively exchanged goods that were urgently needed at home,which led to an upward trend in private trade.The special geographical,military and political environment in eastern Liaoning makes it an ideal trade area for the Korean envoys.
