From macroscopic and diachronic perspective, I compared and reviewed the early Kory˘o and early Chos˘on period, focusing on the diplomatic rituals performed toward the Chinese emperor after the death of the king. Through this, it was confirmed that there was a qualitative change between the two periods in terms of diplomatic rites, and it was intended to reveal the concrete aspects of the change. The diplomatic rites performed toward the Chinese emperor after the death of the king were Ko-e(告哀) and Chingsa(稱嗣) rituals in the early Kory˘o period. Unlike this, the rites were Kobu(告訃), Choengsi(請諡), Choengseungseup(請承襲) rituals in early Chos˘on period. There were qualitative and severe differences between the diplomatic rituals of the two periods. Furthermore, I explored the historical implication of the differences in diplomatic rituals after the death of the king between the two periods. For example, in the early Kory˘o period, the implementation of Chingsa(稱嗣) ritual toward the Chinese emperor means that the monarch who ascended the throne in Kory˘o expressed this fact to the outside world. It can be said that at that time, the new king was able to secure the status of a monarch even toward the Chinese emperor through the enthronement in the country. On the other hand, in Chos˘on, the coronation was clearly achieved in Korea, but the enthronement performed in Chos˘on was not effective externally. In line with this, Chos˘on assumed that there was only a heir of the former king and that the monarch’s seat was still vacant, and asked the Ming emperor to allow the successor to inherit the throne. This fact means that in the relationship between Chos˘on and Ming at that time, the status of a monarch was secured only when he received the investiture from the Ming emperor.
