Sino-centric culturalism has been regarded as a traditional Chinese worldview that evolved from China’s long history of contact and struggle with its so-called barbarian neighbors. In particular, being confronted by northern nomads and southern aborigines, the Chinese ruling elites developed the idea that they were superior to the surrounding barbarians and that their superiority was primarily based on their advanced culture and civilization. Based on culturalist confidence, they deemed China to be the center of the world and claimed to live in great harmony with the so-called surrounding barbarians, imparting themselves the mission to convert the uncivilized peoples to civilization by educating them through Confucian principles. In its foreign relations, China’s advocacy of the culturalist worldview was reflected in the tribute system. The Chinese dynasties had designed the tribute system over time to embrace foreign countries, particularly in the East Asian region, into the framework of China-centered culturalism. Chosŏn Korea was the most consistent and loyal tribute-paying country to Qing China for more than two hundred years, until the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95 ended the Sino-Korean tributary relationship. This paper emphasizes the importance of taking an East Asian, trans-national perspective, and challenges China-centered understanding of culturalism and the tribute system by placing the late Qing Chinese history within the broader context of Sino-Korean inter-state relations.
