This paper aims to explore the roles of Shijing in the diplomatic relations between the Joseon Dynasty and neighboring countries including China. Section 1 of Chapter 2 examines the good-neighbor policy of the Joseon Dynasty implemented throughout the diplomatic relations with Jurchen and Japan. Section 2 investigates the trends of submissive diplomacy practiced by the Joseon Dynasty and deeply rooted in its relations with the Ming and the Qing Dynasty. Section 1 of Chapter 3 analyzes the roles of Shijing applied to the good-neighbor policy toward Jurchen and Japan from the Confucian perspective. Section 2 of Chapter 3 looks into the roles of Shijing throughout the trends of submissive diplomatic relations with the Ming and the Qing Dynasty.
The study learned that the good-neighbor policy towards Jurchen and Japan implied confidence of the Joseon Dynasty being a far more superior Confucian civilization to those two nations. The submissive diplomatic relations with the Ming and the Qing mostly confirmed that the Joseon Dynasty was inclined to accept the environment where distinct discrepancy in national power and culture between the Joseon Dynasty and those two nations was evident.
