1719年己亥使行與≪桑韓塤篪≫-以學術交流與較量的角度看通信使筆談集-

Abstract

This study examines the exchange, particularly academic exchange and competition, between Chosŏn and Japan begun in the early 18th century with the 1719 Chosŏn mission to Japan through the written conversation and poetry exchange collection Sōkan kenchi (桑韓塤篪). This study specifically examines (1) poetry exchanges, (2) academic debate, and (3) books in the exchange, analyzing representative examples to observe the intellectual competition between the two countries and how it affected Chosŏn scholarship. The above analysis demonstrates that most of the then leading academic trends in Japan were introduced from Chosŏn. The Japanese scholarship encountered in the mission was widely accepted by Chosŏn scholars and had a relatively long influence. The intellectual exchange and competition between the two countries during the mission became an opportunity for Chosŏn scholars to reevaluate Japanese scholarship and change their view of Japan.
