Joseon diplomacy was the foreign policy of Joseon Dynasty of Korea from 1392 through 1910; and its theoretical and functional foundations were rooted in Neo-Confucian scholar-bureaucrats, institutions and philosophy.〔Kang, Jae-eun ''et al.'' (2006). ( ''The Land of Scholars,'' p. 172. )〕 This long-term, strategic policy of ''sadae'' diplomacy (serving the great) characterized the Joseon-Chinese relations in this period. This contrasts with Joseon's ''gyorin'' diplomacy (neighborly relations) in its relations with Japan and others.〔Kang, Etsuko H. (1997). ( ''Diplomacy and Ideology in Japanese-Korean Relations: from the Fifteenth to the Eighteenth Century,'' p. 49. )〕 For example, envoys from the Ryūkyū Kingdom were received by Taejo of Joseon in 1392, 1394 and 1397. Siam sent an envoy to Taejo's court in 1393.〔Goodrich, L. Carrington. (1976). ( ''Dictionary of Ming biography, 1368-1644'' (明代名人傳), Vol. II, p. 1601. )〕 Taejo of Joseon established the "Kingdom of Great Joseon" in 1392-1393, and he founded the Joseon Dynasty which would retain power on the Korean peninsula for five hundred years. As an initial step, a diplomatic mission was dispatched to China and to Japan in 1302. Subsequent missions developed and nurtured the contacts and exchanges between these neighboring countries. A diplomatic mission conventionally consisted of three envoys—the main envoy, the vice-envoy, and a document official. Also included were one or more official writers or recorders who created a detailed account of the mission.〔Walraven, Boudewign ''et al.'' (2007). ''Korea in the middle: Korean studies and area studies,'' p. 362.〕 In the 20th century, the Joseon Dynasty's bilateral relations were affected by the increasing numbers of international contacts which required adaptation and a new kind of diplomacy.〔Kang, Woong Joe. (2005). ( ''Struggle for Identity,'' pp. 38-78. )〕 Although conventionally mislabeled as the "Hermit kingdom", Joseon's sophisticated foreign policy initiatives belie the aptness of this term. ==List of Joseon diplomatic envoys== * Pak Tong-chi * Yeo Ui-son * Yun Myeong (Yun Myǒng) * Yan Yu (diplomat) * Bak Bun * Song Hui-gyeong (Song Hǔi-gyǒng) * Bak Hui-jung (Pak Hǔi-chung) * Pak An-sin * Bak Seo-saeng (Pak Sǒ-saeng) * Yi Ye * Go Deuk-jong (Ko Tǔk-chong) * Byeon Hyo-mun * Hwang Yun-gil * Hwang Sin * Samyeongdang (Yu jeong) * Yeo U-gil (Yŏ Ugil) * O Yun-gyeom (O Yun'gyŏm) * Jeong Rip (Chŏng Ip) * Im Gwang (Im Kwang) * Yun Sunji * Jo Hyeong (Cho Hyŏng) * Yun Chiwan * Jo Tae-eok (Cho T'aeŏk) * Hong Chi-jung (Hong Ch'ijung) * Hong Gye-hui (Hong Kyehǔi) * Jo Eom (Cho Ŏm) * Kim Igyo 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseon diplomacy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
