中國崛起是當今舉世所關注的課題。相對於現實主義的權力政治 邏輯，建構主義的觀點認為，中國崛起的結果並非是物質力量所決 定，而是取決於中國與周邊國家之間的文化認同：崛起中國的內涵不 同，周邊國家對中國的感知也會不同，彼此的互動就跟著不同。此說 是否確實為真？本文嘗試從歷史的角度切入，比較秦漢、隋唐、遼、 金、元、明的興起，並以明初時的朝鮮為焦點，檢驗朝鮮是否真的拒 斥一個內涵上不被它所認可的崛起中國，而相對地欣然接受一個內涵 上為它所認可的崛起中國。

The rise of China is a topic of great concern to the world nowadays. In contrast to the realist logic of power politics, constructivism holds that the consequences of the rise of China are not determined by material factors but by the identity of China with respect to its neighbours. The view neighbouring countries have of China and its rise will vary according to their understanding of what China is. This will also influence mutual relations. This paper asks if this is in fact the case. It adopts a historical perspective and compares China’s rise under the Qin-Han, Sui-Tang, Liao, Jin, Yuan and Ming dynasties, with a focus on Korea during the early Ming. The paper examines whether Korea’s non-acceptance of China led to a rejection of China’s rise and whether Korean acceptance of China led to acceptance of China’s rise.
