Chunzu dynasty was the last quiet period of the Korean dynasty. The description of this "hermit country" by western missionaries spread to Europe, which aroused more curiosity and concern. 1832, a British merchant ship came to Hongzhou, Chungcheongdao, and requested to submit the transaction. This is the first time that western countries have asked North Korea for trade. North Korea abides by the rule that "princes and ministers have no diplomacy" and "abides by the law and refuses with confidence". Daoguang in Qing Dynasty rewarded his loyalty by giving him cloth and other things. In addition to facing the western trade requirements, the Catholic forces are also constantly developing into North Korea. In the second year after Junzu ascended the throne, there was a famous "prison with evil heart" in North Korea. Including missionary Zhou from China, Koreans Li, Hong Lemin and Jin Jianchun were all executed, and even the younger brother of Zhengzu and other royal families, Chun Zu's uncle Enyanjun Li Ao (the grandfather of Korean philosopher Zong) was implicated and died. Chunzu and two types of literati believe that Catholicism, regarded as a cult, is the biggest threat to North Korea. Under this persecution, Korean Catholicism was forced to develop in remote areas. The Chunzu period coincided with the Daoguang period in Jiaqing, China. China's economy continued the prosperity of Kanggan, with strong purchasing power, and there was a huge demand for high-end specialty products of North Korea, such as ginseng, Korean paper, fur and dried seafood. Therefore, the trade between North Korea and China is relatively prosperous. Gong Kun's merchants in Seoul, Yizhou and Kaesong (Jingshang, Bay Merchants and Songshang-Yizhou was called Longwan in ancient times, and Kaesong was called Juniper in ancient times) can bring more than 9.8 million yuan of silver to North Korea every year (North Korea produces less gold and silver and relies on external input, which was originally imported from Japan in batches, and Japan imported from the Qing Dynasty after locking up the country). Many modern North Korean business tycoons have developed from trading companies in Kaesong and Beijing, such as Dachang Trade Association, Toyo Products, Yongxin Society and Kaesong Electric Company. Their predecessors were merchants selling fresh goods. Border towns with commercial traditions, such as Yizhou, are also more prosperous because of group trade and smuggling trade. Because China advocated luxury, luxury and enjoyment during the Qianlong period, the handicraft industry in China was highly developed at that time, with a variety of products and high quality. North Korea, from the imperial palace to the nobility, and even the people, rely on luxury goods or daily necessities imported from China. According to statistics, the goods transported from North Korea to the Qing Dynasty were horses; Mink, otter skin, green rat skin, leopard skin and other furs; Dried seafood such as sea cucumber, abalone, shrimp, fish and kelp; Gold, silver, copper, soybean tin, pig iron, steel and other metals; White paper, strong paper, mulberry paper and other papers; Ginseng, pepper, alum, dried ginger and other medicinal materials; Dyes, such as Mu Dan and Sophora japonica; Pears, apples, persimmons, chestnuts and other dried and fresh fruits. Cattle, sheep, mules, donkeys and other livestock were imported into Korea from the Qing Dynasty. Scissors, tweezers, needles, bed stoves, kettles, suitcases, saddles, umbrellas, chopsticks, abacus, combs, buttons, tobacco bags, glasses, porcelain, wool paper towels, paper, flint, sickle, pen, ink, inkstone, copper pot, tin pot, compass and other daily necessities; All kinds of metal products such as shovel, plow, share, saw and other tools; Gold, silver, copper and other currencies; Textile raw materials such as cotton, cotton yarn and raw silk; All kinds of cotton cloth; All kinds of brocade and silk; All kinds of ready-made clothes, hats, shoes and socks for men and women; Various dyes; All kinds of food; Various medicinal materials; All kinds of books; Even imported jewels, jade articles, lacquerware, tooth carvings, furniture antiques, hairpin jewelry, chimes, chimes and other exotic animals such as cats, dogs and parrots. In addition, books on astronomy, calendars, geography and history, as well as military materials such as horn, gunpowder, saltpeter and sulfur, cereals such as rice, beans and wheat, and raw silk, copper and iron were all prohibited from being exported in the Qing Dynasty, and were mainly smuggled in by the missions.
This out-of-control non-governmental trade has aroused the anxiety of the North Korean government. During the Spring Ancestral Period, the ban on the use of "Tang objects" (goods imported from China) was repeated, and the ban on the use of Tang objects in the palace was one example. These practices have curbed the import of luxury goods such as silk and jewelry. However, the import value of other commodities has not decreased. Because people need farm tools, tools and daily necessities to live. In the case of low manufacturing technology in North Korea, we can only rely on imports from China.
