General Lee Seong-gye established the Joseon dynasty, the Lee dynasty, "Korea" this name is actually the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the original North Korea called "Goryeo" to take the meaning of "high mountains and water", then Zhu Yuanzhang gave him to "Korea", that is, the earliest place to see the sun. The original name of Joseon was "Goryeo", which means "high mountains and beautiful water", but later Zhu Yuanzhang changed the name to "Joseon", which means the place where the sun was first seen. North Korea is a vassal state of China, the Korean people are grateful to the Ming Dynasty, after the Qing Dynasty into the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty is even still using Chongzhen year. There was a TV series called "Daejangjin" in the early days, in which many of the officials and emperors' costumes were adopted from the Ming Dynasty, and its official system was also adopted from the Ming system, and North Koreans could only become officials if they could write Chinese characters, and the great historical material "Yan Xing Lu" is a compilation of information about North Koreans coming to China.

The Yongle Emperor was the third monarch of the Ming Dynasty, who usurped his nephew's throne and moved the capital to Beijing, which was known as the Four Nine Cities, and was laid down by him. The Yongle Emperor was known as "far superior to the Han and Tang dynasties", and was also an accomplished monarch. After five conquests in the desert, he died on the 18th day of the 7th month of the 22nd year of the Yongle reign in Yumucheon. At that time, Kim Jichi, the superintendent of Pyongan Province in Joseon, reported to King Sejong (the fourth monarch of the Joseon Dynasty) that Park Deok-nyeon, the envoy to the Ming Dynasty, had returned from Liaodong and learned of the news of Yongrak's death (it was the 42nd day of Yongrak's death, as far as it is possible to ascertain). The court was in an uproar.

Ming History records that, after the death of the Yongle Emperor, the eunuchs and courtiers who accompanied the northern expedition did not mourn. At that time, the Ming Dynasty had not yet officially notified North Korea of this news. Nonetheless, the North Korean monarchs and ministers got the news from the folk in Liaodong, confirming that after his death, the North Korean court began to treat Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty with the same etiquette as that of the Ming Emperor's death. The record of the real record of King Shizong: "the day of mourning, the first four days into the service; the capital of the four grades above, the size of the foreign ambassadors, the guards of the order to wear a bad suit, the rest of the various grades of the officials to the end of the system of white clothes and black horns with black hats; seven days in addition to the service, and the whole country in the seven-day period, "stop the market, to go to the killing of people, cut off the music, banning massacres, prohibit marriage, stop the size of the rituals ". The emperor and the princes and ministers have to wear mourning clothes, used mourning clothes, in accordance with Zhu Zi "family rituals" sewing, stop all the activities of the court and banquet catering activities. The emperor took the lead to cry, a group of courtiers can not be idle, but also to write a sacrificial text, North Korean ambassadors took things to Beijing, to big brother to send their condolences.

Yongle died, and his son, Emperor Hongxi, took the throne. After learning that Emperor Hong Xi is on the throne, King Sejong and his courtiers put on their gowns, and the first sentence written on the table of worship is "The Holy Spirit succeeds the reign, and enjoys the heart of heaven, and the Yi Xia are all happy together, and all the offerings are made to the party." That I want to be a good little baby, although the old emperor of the Ming dynasty died. With *** the ritual system and worship and on the table, but the whole half a day no one knows ah, the Ming Dynasty mission to come to visit, do not know what time, you do not know what day he came, so can only be a dead horse as a living horse, it has to be done.

Interestingly, the Ming Dynasty went to North Korea a group of missions, and North Korea to the Ming mission met, September 28, North Korea's far-receiving envoy Kwon Jung, etc. and the Ming Dynasty envoys met at the Tang station on the border. Kwon told the Ming envoys that the Joseon side had already held a funeral ceremony and also held a ceremony to congratulate the new king on his ascension to the throne, but the Ming Dynasty did not believe them. But the Ming Dynasty didn't believe them. The Ming Dynasty said, "I have to see it to believe it. Because I do not know when the Ming Dynasty mission to come, the Ming Dynasty is really not enough fun, do not tell people when the North Korea, which suddenly came, the Joseon Dynasty had to repeat the above ritual activities. It is really a pit of God.

The North Korean monarchs and ministers held a series of ceremonial events for the Yongle Emperor. As Prof. Zhao Yifeng said, "These activities clearly show the cultural orientation of North Korea to follow the rituals of the Central Plains, as well as the mutual cultural identity of North Korea and the Ming dynasty in the same tone of rituals."

Honestly, the North Korean dynasty is also playing false, not all of them are mourning Yongle, in mourning period of the North Korean royal family has begun to fill the harem, increase the beauty of the draft, eat, drink and play on the play this set or show to the Ming Dynasty to see it, although this, there is a certain role.

China's emperor died, did not formally notify the DPRK, North Korea, the whole dynasty shook, and worship, and mourning, and tribute. I have to say, this little brother when a little bit suffocating, but unfortunately there is no way ah, the clan relationship decided, China is the boss. Through this funeral, it seems to also let the Ming Dynasty more trust this little brother, their relationship with the Ming Dynasty deeper.
