Description 1 online resource Contents From frontier to borderland -- Making the borderland -- Managing the borderland -- Movement of people and money -- From borderland to border Summary "Ginseng and Borderland explores the territorial boundaries and political relations between Qing China and Chosŏn Korea during the period from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth centuries. By examining a unique body of materials written in Chinese, Manchu, and Korean, and building on recent studies in New Qing History, Seonmin Kim adds new perspectives to current understandings of the remarkable transformation of the Manchu Qing dynasty (1636-1912) from a tribal state to a universal empire. This book discusses early Manchu history and explores the Qing Empire's policy of controlling Manchuria and Chosŏn Korea. Kim also contributes to the Korean history of the Chosŏn dynasty (1392-1910) by challenging conventional accounts that embrace a China-centered interpretation of the tributary relationship between the two polities, stressing instead the agency of Chosŏn Korea in the formation of the Qing Empire. This study demonstrates how Koreans interpreted and employed this relationship in order to preserve the boundary--and peace--with the suzerain power. By focusing on the historical significance of the China-Korea boundary, this book defines the nature of the Qing Empire through the dynamics of contacts and conflicts under both the cultural and material frameworks of its tributary relationship with Chosŏn Korea"--Provided by publisher Analysis 17th to 19th century asian history chinese choson dynasty choson korea country boundaries historical significance international relations korean history korean manchu history manchu qing dynasty manchu new qing history peace political relations qing china south korean history state boundaries suzerain power territorial boundaries tribal state tributary relationship universal empire Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed Subject Borderlands -- Korea -- History Borderlands -- China -- History Ginseng.
