Under the rule of "Huayi Order",the ancient East Asian countries maintained close trade relations.Japan and Korea have conducted economic exchanges and cultural exchanges through exchange of documents.After the establishment of the Meiji government in Japan in 1868,Korea refused to resume official trade relations with Japan due to "paper problems." In order to open the Korean market,in 1875,Japan created the "Yunyang" incident,and the armed forces forced Korea to sign the "Treaty of Ganghwa" Through this treaty,Japan not only gained political privileges,but also obtained many privileges in the economy.After the signing of the treaty,Korea was forced to open ports such as Busan,Yuanshan and Incheon to establish trade relations with Japan.Through trade with Korea,Japan not only sought out overseas markets,but also plundered cheap raw materials for the development of its own industry and promoted the development of Japan's modern economy.In the past ten years,due to the neglect of the Qing dynasty's sovereignty over the Qing dynasty,Japan has almost monopolized Korea's foreign trade market and formed a Japanese-Korea trade relationship led by Japan.Japan's step-by-step economic privilege also laid the foundation for Japan's subsequent colonial Korea.Therefore,the trade relationship during this period was the beginning of the modern economic relations between Japan and Korea.The trade between the two countries also reflected certain specialities,which had an important impact on the politics and economy of Japan and Korea.This paper is divided into three parts.The first chapter introduces the research object and research significance of this paper,analyzes the current research status of the academic circle,shows the research methods and ideas,and summarizes the innovation and deficiency.The second chapter mainly introduces the respective domestic backgrounds of Japan and Korea before 1876,including the political background and economicbackground,and also describes the diplomatic relations of the two countries at that time.The third chapter is the main part of the article,mainly through the interpretation of the contents of the relevant treaties such as the "Treaty of Ganghwa",analyzing Japan's privilege in the trade with Korea and its impact on the two countries,and using relevant data collected from the data.The two sides analyze the trade between Japan and Korea.On the one hand,Japan exports goods to Korea,on the other hand,Korea exports goods to Japan,and then summarizes the trade relations between the two countries.The fourth chapter is the sublimation part of this paper.It mainly discusses two points,namely: 1.The characteristics of Japanese-Korean trade.It highlights Japan's predatory nature of Korean raw materials,the purpose of aggression and the exclusiveness of exclusive Korean trade;2.The impact on the economic development of Japan and Korea.Among them,the Korean economy has been seriously damaged,the Korean economy has declined,and the lives of the people have become more difficult.It has also prompted the Korean society to begin to change from a feudal society to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.For Japan,it promoted the development of Japan's domestic economy,made up for the insufficiency of the domestic market,reserved reserves for modern industrial development,and laid the foundation for Japan's "continental policy."...
