Abstract
The research subject of this thesis is the Yeon-haeng（燕行）envoy Kim Chang Op（金昌業）''s "Nogajae Yeon-haeang diary（《老稼齋煙行日記》）" in 1712. It discusses Kim Chang Op''s Yeon-haeng records, interaction process and content with literati of the Qing Dynasty, particularly various things which played an important role in interchange activities. During this process, they not only reveal literati''s opinions of these two countries towards foreign affairs with each other, but also furthermore make us understand their effects and values on the literati circle and social culture of both sides, and then shape up the value system and exotic imaginations of these literati.he mainly-discussed content in this thesis can be divided into three sections. Chapter 1 discusses mainly about the background of the Yeon-haeng in 1712 through major incidents between Joseon and the Qing Dynasty. Chapter 2 begins with questions about how Kim Chang Op interchanged with people of the Qing Dynasty. Chapter 3 focuses on related descriptions about people, matters, landscape or scenery the Joseon envoy Kim Chang Op observed in China: how Kim Chang Op''s interchange with people of the Qing Dynasty during his 146-day journey in China affected his opinions, and besides, what Kim Chang Op bought and observed in China, and what places Kim Chang Op specifically visited after he left his fixed route.im Chang Op imagined China through forerunners'' Diary of Journey to China. He got the chance to see and hear in many famous places on his way to Beijing. He wrote the "Nogajae Yeon-haeang Diary" according to his seeing and hearing experiences in person in China. Afterwards, Kim Chang Op''s diary was read by the Joseon people. Therefore, among those Yeon-haeng records from the late 18th century through the 19th century, influences of Kim Chang Op''s attitudes and opinions towards China can also be indistinctly found. In other words, Kim Chang Op still maintained an open attitude towards China, which made him finish the Diary of Journey to China according to more regional experiences. This book gradually changed the opinions of the Joseon people towards China. Perhaps things like advanced cultural relics of the Qing Dynasty all gave rise to the attitude that the Joseon people had to learn from the north, the Qing Dynasty.
