Encounter with an empire
Encounter with an empire
Description
Book Introduction
The 13th and 14th centuries are often remembered in the Korean Peninsula as periods of Mongol invasion and intervention by the Yuan Empire.

Goryeo, which encountered the unprecedented Yuan Empire, initially suffered from war, plunder, interference, and intervention. However, the mixed-blood kings who later ruled Goryeo also attempted reforms that adopted the Yuan Empire's policy lines and methodologies.
Although the boundaries between the Goryeo Korean Peninsula and China under the Yuan Empire became blurred due to changes in the identities of the king and officials, the economies and legal systems of the two countries remained separate, and many traditional Goryeo cultural relics were also restored.
Goryeo was a political entity with interests that were clearly different from those of the Yuan Empire, and it had to navigate an unbalanced relationship with the empire while also resolving various chronic internal problems.
Therefore, while resisting challenges to the system, the imperial authority and system were also appropriately utilized to reform the reality of Goryeo.
