Abstract:
Up till the reign of Emperor of Qianlong, Korean literati and officialdom had got rid of the traditional view of the Hua people and minorities to a great degree and began to objectively view changes that had happened in China. Those ambassadors of the northern trend intended to discover a means to rid Korea of the backward situation in economy and culture by participating in an inspecting journal to China. That was to say that they wanted to find advantages of China and disadvantages of Korea by carefully inspecting and investigating industries and objects in the Qing Dynasty so that they could introduce advanced scientific technology and culture in Chinese. As a result, they basically accepted culture of the Man nationality in this period and affirmed the Chinese concern with practice. Their description of the Qing Dynasty tended to be “utopian”.
