This remarkably long period of sustained peace was not an inevitable consequence of Chinese cultural and political ascendancy. In this book, Sixiang Wang demonstrates how Choson political actors strategically deployed cultural practices, values, and narratives to carve out a place for Korea within the Ming imperial order.Boundless Winds of Empire is a cultural history of diplomacy that traces Choson's rhetorical and ritual engagement with China. Choson drew on classical Chinese paradigms of statecraft, political legitimacy, and cultural achievement.
