This study aims to pay attention to how envoys, a traditional diplomatic method, was operated in the new international order in the late 19th century. First, among the regulations of “Regulation for Transportation and Trade between Korea and China”, the part related to the dispatch of envoys was reviewed. This is because the “Regulation for Transportation and Trade between Korea and China”, which was created in the 19th year of King Gojong's reign, also included information on the diplomatic methods of both Joseon and Qing. Second, in the late 19th century, the frequency of sending envoys is identified. After the Manchu Invasion of Korea, Joseon sent high-ranking officials and interpreters as envoys. Third, it is necessary to understand the purpose of the dispatch of envoys. Amid various domestic and international political events in the late 19th century, the mission of envoys is an important point in grasping the role and function of envoys at that time. Through the above analysis, the role of envoys in the relationship between Joseon and Qing in the late 19th century will be identified. Through this, I would like to reveal the aspects in which existing practices continue and change in a new international order.
