Abstract

This paper focuses on the literary exchanges between Vietnam and Korea during the tribute period to China. Because both Vietnam and Korea used Chinese characters as official characters in feudal times, this paper is based on literature review and literature comparative study. The study points out that there were three forms of communication in Chinese Literature between them: one was to give a fan with Chinese poems as gifts, the other was to write and reply in poems using the same rhyme sequence, and the last was to write letters to each other. This paper also points out that there is a phenomenon that needs special attention in their Chinese literary communication. That is, although the Vietnamese envoys thought that the Korean Envoys had a higher level of Chinese literature than their own, and showed a humble attitude in front of them during the diplomatic missions in China, they actually want to compete with them secretly. And their literary achievements were generally described as much higher than the envoys of Korea in Vietnam. Finally, this paper argues that the literary communication between them could not only reflect the social political and cultural order between China and other countries in East Asia in the feudal period, but also show the political and cultural relations between those countries in Chinese culture circle.
