『皇華集』출현 배경으로서의 世宗의 국가경영

Abstract

The Huanghwajib(『皇華集』) is a collection of poems exchanged between the Ming envoy and Josun governor, compiled and published on the basis of special diplomatic relations between the two countries. Josun and Myung dispatched ambassadors from time to time in accordance with the diplomatic relations of investiture and tribute. Although the initial Josun-Ming relationship has been in conflict with the international situation, it has remained stable since the 15th century. However, the Ming court sent the envoys who were eunuchs from Josun. In 1450 (Sejong 32), the last year of King Sejong's reign, Ye-geum[倪謙] was municipal government. Ye-geum showed his poems to the Josun governor, and Chung Inji(鄭麟趾) and many others made poems to respond. The Yohaepyeon(『遼海篇』) which was published after returning home, included a poem written by the Josun governor, and raised a positive perception of Josun. On the other hand, there was also a negative view of Josun, and Josun did not appreciated it. So the Josun Dynasty published the Huanghwajib. Since then, the Huanghwajib had become popular and decline according to the Josun-Ming relationship. The Huanghwajib is an important achievement that literally shows the trend of the foreign relations between Josun and Ming. The reason why the Huanghwajib was able to be published was that there were active foreign policy based on the politics of public opinion in the national management of King Sejong, the cultivation of talent through the Jiphyeonjeon(集賢殿) and the practical literary view. In terms of diplomacy, Sejong responded promptly to changes in international affairs in East Asia, while pursuing diplomatic relations depending on the classics from the ancient to the contemporary and on discussions. As a result, King Sejong was able to obtain both the trust of his name and the will of Josun. The trust in the Josun dynasty and the changes in the international situation led the Ming court to dispatch scholar-bureaucrats; and the success of the scholars who established the scholarship and poetry at Jiphyeonjeon show that the Josun was civilized. Sejong's leadership and management philosophy have many implications in modern national management and foreign policy making.
