Introduction

Yi Su Kwang 李睟光 (1563–1628), also know by his pen name Chibong 芝峯, was a Korean litteraty, a military official, and a diplomat of the Yi Dynasty of Choson. He was also an academic and an encyclopedist.

He was a member of the Korean winter solstice embassy to Ming China (1597-1598). At this occasion, he got in contact in Beijing with an embassy from Vietnam, and, in particular, with his Vietnamese counterpart, Phùng Khắc Khoan 馮克寬 (1528- 1613).

The present translation is a part of the content of their “brush-talks,” the written dialogue they held in classical Chinese, from Yi Su Kwang 李睟光 collected works, Chibongjip 芝峯集, where he recorded this dialogue and the several poems the envoys exchanged. As such, Yi’s collected works preserve one of the most detailed accounts of a contact between tribute envoys while on a mission in China. Besides the substance of this dialogue amounting to a virtual late sixteenth century intelligence report on Vietnam, the communication between these two envoys provides a greater understanding of the nature of knowledge and identity within the Chinese cultural sphere. This text is an important source to understand the ideological and identity position of Koreans and Vietnameses against China, especially after Ming fall and Qing rise. It's maybe one of the most important document about Vietnamese-Korean pre-modern relations.

8- Question. Do you choose people by their poetry and compositions or by means of questions and Essay ? Also, do you have a military examination ?


9- Answer. We choose people by means of examinations. There is a provincial examination and the capital examination. For the provincial examination the first test is based on the Five Classics and Four Books. The second test is on evaluating imperial decrees and royal edicts. The third test is about poetry . The fourth test, the theme requires a response on the best way to rule the country. For the capital examination, there are the first, the second, the third and the fourth test. It is like the provincial examination. The fifth test, there is the palace examination, which requires composition and the reply to questions. As for the military examination, the examinees’ use of strategy is most important. There are talent competitions in horseback riding, elephant riding and shooting from horseback. Candidates are chosen every five years.


10- Question. I have heard that the name of the former king of your distinguished country was Mạc. Currently, has the Lê house resumed its duty as head of state? Was there a disturbance or a coup?

13- Answer. During a period of fifty years.


14- Question. Does your distinguished country have a "pacification commander"[4] ?


15- Answer. Ever since we have had a state, the title of “pacification commander” had never existed. That title was a special feature of the Mạc insurrection and their rise to power. The Celestial Dynasty was generous by not putting them to death. The title is temporary and carries a second grade status, because it is dependent upon the holder’s abilities. Now the king is seeking deliberation and a decision regarding the disposition of this title.


16- Question. Is Mạc Mậu Hợp[5] a member from the house of Mạc ?


17- Answer. Government officials were uneasy with him for a long time. But Mạc Mậu Hợp was the name of a former king. I am surprised that you know him.

32- Question. As to Ma Fubo's bronze pillars[8], where are they located ?


33- Answer. According to old legends, they were in Mê Linh[9]. They are not there now.


34- The [Vietnamese] envoy asked what the laws and system of our state were. I answered that we are governed by officials and regulations. In accord with the Celestial Empire, our officials are arranged in three ranks and six departments in ascending levels. As for our other laws and systems, they all respect the usages of China. The [Vietnamese] envoy commented, “Your Great distinguished country has long been regarded as a state gifted in the literary arts. My humble country cannot dare to approach its respect.”


35- At the morning audience, our state's delegation took a position at the front of the procession. According to the way in which the envoys were arrayed, those from Annam were placed more distantly. I determined that the significance of this was that their tribute was humble.


Further Readings

  1. Giao-chỉ and Việt Thường (Jiaozhi) 交趾 was the name for various provinces, commanderies, prefectures, and counties in northern Vietnam from the era of the Hùng kings to the middle of the Third Chinese domination of Vietnam (c. 7th–10th centuries) and again during the Fourth Chinese domination (1407–1427).
  2. The higher rank in the imperial examination system.
  3. from the Chinese emperor.
  4. 都統使 - particular title bestowed by the Ming 明 on the Mạc 莫 rulers. When they came to power they submitted to the Ming, Vietnam’s status within the tribute system was reduced from that of a monarchy to a form which harkened back to the Han 漢 colonial designation "the pacified south" (Annam - 安南) . This political assignation from China to the Vietnam rulers take the name of 都統使. Which imposed a lower status to Vietnam on the Chinese diplomatic system, but recognized Vietnam was above a "barbarian" office, because administered by Confucian ideaology, not by tribal chiefs, such as were the Burmese, Siamese (Thaï) or Lao.
  5. Mạc Mậu Hợp 莫茂洽 (1560 - 1592) was the fifth and effectively last reigning emperor of the Mạc dynasty from 1562 to 1592.
  6. The Trần dynasty 陳朝 ruled Đại Việt from 1225 to 1400. The dynasty was founded when emperor Trần Thái Tông ascended to the throne after his uncle Trần Thủ Độ orchestrated the overthrow of the Lý dynasty. The final emperor of the dynasty was Thiếu Đế, who at the age of five years was forced to abdicate the throne in favor of his maternal grandfather, Hồ Quý Ly. The Trần dynasty defeated three Mongol invasions, most notably in the decisive Battle of Bạch Đằng River in 1288.
  7. Around 2500 km.
  8. Ma Fubo or Ma Yuan 馬援 (14 BC – 49 AD), courtesy name Wenyuan, also known by his official title Fubo Jiangjun 伏波将军 "General who Calms the Waves", was a Chinese military general and politician of the Eastern Han dynasty. He was a descendant of the Warring States period general Zhao She. His military and political achievements included helping Emperor Guangwu unite the empire and putting down rebellions of the Trung Sisters (in Jiaozhi, Vietnam).
  9. The location of this place is not really clear. But previous scholarship and the historical context very strongly suggest that they should be read as rendered here. This is because this is the district in which the rebellion against Han rule led by the Trung sisters originated and where it was defeated by Ma Yuan. It would, therefore, seem likely that the Chinese general placed the bronze pillars at this location. For further background on the Trung sisters, this rebellion and its place in early Vietnamese history, see Taylor, The Birth of Vietnam, pp. 37-41. For a much more detailed account of the placement and existence of the bronze pillars, as well as their significance in Vietnamese history, see Liam Kelley’s dissertation, pp. 1-14.
