金昌業의 明末淸初 戰爭 記憶

Kim ChangUp’s memory of the war during the end of Ming and the beginning of Qing Dynasty

While NaoKaJai Kim ChangUp was traveling to China during the Ming and Qing dynasties , he saw the prosperity of the Kang Xi Period by his own eyes and had been left a deep impression. It was a great chance for him to abandon the dated ideas of Ming dynasty , as well as to form a sound view towards China in Qing Dynasty based on the reality. During the war between the Ming and Qing dynasties, NaoKaJai realized that the Qing dynasty, especially the area out of Shanhai Pass was still in a mess. What was more, the contradiction between Manchu and the Han nationality had become a threat of the society. He knew that the collapse of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty was inevitable. However, he had never analyzed how it came into being .By writing down just his own experience, he made many readers feel as if they were there. NaoKaJai traveled to China 30 years before the Kangxi Emperor unified the country. Therefore the loyalty and revolt of Wu Sangui was still a sensitive political issue at that time. However NaoKaJai was deeply concerned about it and made an objective evaluation as well. The failure of Wu made the Korean royal government and many scholars recognize the irreversiblility of history and the inevitability of the Ming dynasty’s prosperity, so that they decided to give up some old theories and began to face the reality. It laid the foundation for the future of the Practical Science.
