Members of the [[1842]] [[Ryukyuan embassy to Edo]] attempted to buy nearly one hundred copies of the Bunshi-ten commentaries in [[Osaka]] - so many that more had to be printed.<ref name=takatsu263/> Historian Takatsu Takashi identifies this ''Dakui sishu jizhu'', deriving from a version published in the late 16th or early 17th century by [[Yu Mingtai]] in [[Fujian province]], and today surviving only in Japanese reprints (and not in China), as "the most important text when we investigate the circulation of the teaching of Zhuzi in seventeenth century East Asia."<ref>Takatsu, 265.</ref>

==In Korea==
While Buddhism was the chief political philosophy of Korean royal courts up through the [[Goryeo]] dynasty, royal advisor [[Jeong Dojeon]] ([[1342]]-[[1398]]) promoted Neo-Confucianism in the court. After Jeong was killed by a political opponent, the cause of Neo-Confucianism was taken up by [[Gwon Geun]] ([[1353]]-[[1409]]), leading to it becoming the dominant political philosophy of the [[Joseon]] court in the 17th century.<ref>Jeong-mi Lee, “Chosŏn Korea as Sojunghwa, the Small Central Civilization,” ''International Christian University Publications 3-A, Asian Cultural Studies'' 国際基督教大学学報 3-A,アジア文化研究 36 (2010) 309.</ref>
Joseon painted itself as the true successor to the fallen [[Ming Dynasty]] (after [[1644]]), and the [[sojunghwa|sole surviving bastion]] of Ming high Confucian culture. Joseon reorganized its bureaucracy around Confucian scholar-officials, adopting Ming court practices, court costume based on that of the Ming, and court rituals worshipping the Ming emperors.
