Synopsis "Choe Bu"

Choe Bu (1454 1504) was a Korean official during the early Joseon Dynasty (1392 1910). He is best known for the account of his shipwrecked travels in China from February to July 1488, during the Ming Dynasty (1368 1644). Although he was eventually banished from the Joseon court in 1498 and then ultimately executed in 1504 during two political purges, he was given posthumous honors by the Joseon court in 1506. Choe's diary accounts of his travels in China became widely printed in the 16th century in both Korea and Japan. Modern historians also utilize his written works, since his travel diary provides a unique outsider's perspective on Chinese culture in the 15th century and valuable information on China's cities and regional differences. The attitudes and opinions expressed in his writing represent in part the standpoints and views of the 15th-century Confucian Korean literati, who viewed Chinese culture as compatible with and similar to their own. His description of cities, people, customs, cuisines, and maritime commerce along China's Grand Canal provide insight into the daily life of China and how it differed between northern and southern China during the 15th century.
