The chronology of one side in a bilateral relationship stands on its own. This long-term, strategic policy contrasts with the ''sadae'' (serving the great) diplomacy which characterized the Joseon-Chinese relations in this same period. The unique nature of these bilateral diplomatic exchanges evolved from a conceptual framework developed by the Chinese. Gradually, the theoretical model would be modified.
