Abstract

Before the period of Mongol domination, Koryo dynasty established diplomatic relationship with the Chinese dynasty through ritual between monarch and servant(君臣儀禮), and therefore feudal lord(諸侯) status was not realized domestically and the independence from the Chinese dynasty was taken for granted.BR Then, with the period of Mongol domination as a watershed, the way of setting up the nation’s self-identity made revolutionary change. Although the basic framework of self-identity established in the period of Mongol domination remained until the later period, unlike the period of Mongol domination, throughout the late Koryo period and early Chosun period, introverted and self-belief attitude was strengthened. For instance, unlike other barbarians(夷狄), although Chosun(Koryo) was barbarian in terms of race and space, it pursued ‘civilization Chinese(中華)’, in part of the movement it sought to materialize feudal lord status even in the domestic domain.
