The Research On Assimilation About The Relations Of Tribute Between Mongol Empire And Yuan Dynasty

This paper studies several assimilating issues at the background of hundreds of years of presenting tribute between Geryeo and Yuan Empire because that Geryeo and Yuan Empire forms suzerain-vassal and nephew-uncle relations as Geryeo presented tribute to Yuan Empire for hundreds of years and such special relations are more closer than the relations that with other vassal Kingdoms. As a result of this, the economy and culture of Yuan Empire have a profound influence to the society of Geryeo and this fully reflect the national assimilation which formed under the powerful governance of Yuan Empire to its subsidiary kingdom. Taking several typical aspects-the change of official position of Geryeo, the prince in Yuan Empire as a virtual prisoner, the marriage assimilating from Yuan Dynasty and Braiding hair and wearing Hu's clothes in Geryeo- as a starting point, this paper expounds this assimilation phenomenon.The following aspects will be studied:一,Summary on the formation processes of the relations between Yuan Dynasty and Geryeo, the recognition and definition of assimilation.二,Due to the bureaucratic system in Geryeo Kingdom imitated that of tang and song Dynasty at its early founding.
