试析朝鲜的中国观

Korea's Views on China

中世纪朝鲜历代王朝的"事大"对象不是中国某个国家实体,而是特定的汉民族,"北伐论"与"北学论"就是例证。然而,随着韩国进入近代化进程,其中国观发生了巨大变化:他们一方面贬视中国传统文化,另一方面则企盼中国的强盛。其结果,朝鲜对中国的认识由"仰视"变成了"平视"。

For the past Korean dynasties in Middle Ages, the target of sadae ('serving the great')was Han nationality specifically instead of a certain national entity of China. Northern expedition school and northern learning school were the fine examples. With the modernization of Korea, its views on China changed drastically: on one hand, Korea discriminates Chinese traditional culture; on the other hand, Korea hopes for the prosperity of China. As a result, Korea's views on China changed from admiration to looking at China objectively.
