Changing perceptions of the Qing Dynasty in the Late Joseon Dynasty and Chinese style architecture that emerged in Joseon in the 18th century

A shift in Joseon Dynasty's perception of the Qing Empire during the late 18th to 19th centuries is linked to the adoption of Chinese-style architecture, particularly influenced by progressive scholars advocating for cultural integration. The study reveals that the introduction of Qing architectural techniques, such as brick construction and ondol systems, marked a significant departure from traditional Joseon practices. Park Jiwon's brick Chinese-style buildings in Anui and Gyedong, along with the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, exemplify this transition. This architectural evolution served as an intermediary step before Western modern architecture was fully integrated post-19th century port opening, highlighting Joseon's adaptive response to foreign influences.
