19세기 말～20세기 초 중국 요업(窯業) 공장(工匠)의 조선 도래

Abstract

Before opening of the port, Chinese porcelain usually have been introduced to Joseon dynasty as an official award or personal import. However, it is difficult to discover the arrival of porcelain masters or group of merchants who craft merchandise the product professionally. The import of the porcelain and its skill from other route seems to be started from facing social changing after opening of the port around late 19th century. This research proves the arrival of the porcelain master of Qing dynasty to Joseon dynasty after the opening of the port by official letter between two dynasties. Especially the “Hwaan(華案)” is noticeable document which can explain of arrival of porcelain masters into Joseon dynasty and diplomatic problems between two dynasties. In this research, we focused on two incidents occurred in 1884. First we analyse the incident the Joseon dynasty sent Tang Fuchen(湯輔臣), who was from Qing dynasty, to Jingdezhen to import the porcelain master and the material. Also this research organize the letter of request of acceptance for construction of brick and tile kiln at Incheon and Mapo. Since afore mentioned analysis has not been fully understood, we expect our research will help understanding further studies on import of the foreign porcelain to late Joseon dynasty.
