Abstract

This paper studied the journey history poetry, written by Joseon envoys who went to the Ming Dynasty in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty after their seeing Qi-huangong's and Qi-jigong's tombs in person. The diplomatic travel of Joseon envoys was understood as a form of cultural travel, and this research was conducted using humanities-geography methodology, and the following conclusions were obtained. First, Erwangcong, which Joseon envoys knew as the tombs of Qi-huangong and Qi-jigong, actually belonged to Qi-huangong and Tianhe, and the stone monument and tombs of Qi-huangong and Qi-jigong, which were considered to have been seen by Joseon envoys, are not real. Second, it was found that their cultural identity of confucian universalism was consistently projected in the Joseon envoys' journey history poetry, this reflects the public opinion of the Joseon Dynasty at the time when it was claimed to thank the Ming Dynasty for helping Joseon during the Japanese Invasion of Joseon in 1592, and to reject the Qing Dynasty. Third, Joseon envoys received a considerable cultural shock during their diplomatic trip, which had a significant impact on their cultural identity. However, there were relatively few cases in which these changes were literary reflected in the journey history poetry, and on the contrary, literary imagery was often made in the direction of rejecting changes, further strengthening the existing identity, and fostering a sense of Joseon-confician universalism. In addition to the journey history poetry of Qi-huangong and Qi-jigong already covered in this paper, Further analysis of the journey history poetry of Joseon envoys in the mid-Joseon period is needed under the theme of Qi-xuanwang & Mengzi, Mengchangjun, Luzhonglian, Guanzhong, Yanying, Tiandan, Suqin etc. which have historical symbolism.
