How Did the Joseon, Qing, and Nguyễn Dynasties Record Their Histories? Exploring Their Similarities and Differences

International Conference on “The Compilation and Significance of Royal Annals in East Asia” to Be Held on July 24 at the Busan Museum Auditorium — Scholars from Korea, China, and Vietnam to Compare Methods of Compiling Royal Annals

The National Museum of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty (Director Kim Jungim), part of the National Palace Museum of Korea under the Korea Heritage Service, will jointly hold the international conference “The Compilation and Significance of Royal Annals in East Asia” with Busan Museum (Director Jung Eun-woo) at the Busan Museum auditorium from 1:00 p.m. on July 24.

The conference has been organized on the occasion of the ongoing 48th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Busan to widely promote the value of The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty (Joseon wangjo sillok), a UNESCO Memory of the World, and to comparatively examine the systems through which East Asian royal courts compiled and preserved their histories and the significance of those records. Researchers and documentary heritage experts from Korea, China, and Vietnam will convene and examine the compilation methods, material characteristics, and transmission processes of each country’s royal annals.

Also in association with the special exhibition “Timeless Legacy: Records and Culture of the Joseon Dynasty” (July 7–August 30), jointly organized by the National Palace Museum of Korea and Busan Museum, the conference is expected to expand the history and value of The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, one of the major exhibits, into a subject of academic discourse from a broader East Asian perspective.

The conference will begin with the keynote lecture “The Compilation of the Authentic Records (The Annals) in Asia: Past Encourages Present” by Oh Hang-Nyeong, Professor Emeritus at Jeonju University. The lecture will examine the historical context of the emergence and development of the annals in East Asia along with the political and cultural significance of the official records at the royal court.

The main presentations will discuss four themes: First, in his “Characteristics and Changes in the Compilation of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty by Period,” Kang Moonshik, Professor at Soongsil University, will examine the changes in and characteristics of the annal compilation system during the Joseon Dynasty. Second, in “Form and Material Analysis of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty: Characteristics and Status of Royal Records,” Choi Hyun-wook, Curator at the National Archives of Korea, will present his material analysis of the Joseon Annals. Third, Xiang Xuan (项旋), Professor at Renmin University of China, will examine the compilation process, transmission, and use of Chinese annals in “The History of the Qing Annals and Their Early Dissemination and Utilization in Japan.” Last but not least, Lê Thùy Linh, Senior Researcher at the Institute of History, the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, will introduce the development and characteristics of historical compilation under successive Vietnamese dynasties in “The Compilation of Royal Annals in Vietnam from the 13th to the Mid-20th Century.”

Each thematic presentation will be followed by discussions involving the following designated participants: Kim Moon-sik, Professor at Dankook University; Jeong Seonhwa, Curator at the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage; Ge Xianhan (葛小寒), Professor at Beijing Normal University; and Johoyeon, Research Fellow at the Northeast Asian History Foundation. Finally, there will be a general discussion involving all presenters and discussants, with Prof. Oh Hang-Nyeong serving as the chair, and a subsequent Q&A session with the audience.

The conference is open to everyone; no application is required in advance. Participants may register on-site on the day of the event, and there will be simultaneous interpretation in Korean, Chinese, English, and Vietnamese to facilitate international academic exchange.

The National Museum of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty is looking forward to the opportunities the conference will provide for a deeper comparative understanding of East Asian countries’ production and transmission of their dynasties’ historical records. The museum will continue promoting the global value of The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty widely and steadily expanding academic exchange with researchers in Korea and abroad while pursuing proactive administration that broadens opportunities for the public to enjoy cultural heritage in cooperation with regional cultural institutions.
