Zhaolingzhi(22)
Abstract: The institutions for receiving messengers, who came from foreign and tributaries states, werelibu,lifanyuanandneiwufuin times of Qing period, and such practice was dissimilar to the one made in previous dynasties. Moreover, the rule on receiving the messengers can be divided into two categories, i.e. Chinese culture circle and non-Chinese culture circle. In detail, Korea, Vietnam and Ryukyu, etc., who were in Chinese culture circle, received a warm reception fromlibuand was in charge of Han Chinese officials. Mongolian and Tibetan area as well as Russia, who belonged to non-Chinese culture circle, were given a warm reception fromlifanyuanandneiwufuon being in charge of Manchu and/or Mongolian officials. This practice lasted until modern China period, when envoys of western states arrived. Scholars, whose research interests in patriarchal-vassal and tribute system, have emphasized function oflibuperformed in receiving messengers rather than that oflifanyuanandneiwufu, due to the reason that record oflifanyuanandneiwufuwas written in Manchu language. In reality, frequency of missions received byneiwufuandlifanyuanwas higher than that bylibu. In this way, influence of Chinese culture circle was weak compared with non-Chinese culture circle.So it is worth to note the question onlifanyuanandneiwufureceived messengers who came from the non-Chinese culture circle.
