本文以朝鲜使臣的圆明园经验为主，探讨朝鲜士人圆明园印象的演变，同时分析圆明园由盛至衰的过程对朝鲜的影响。乾隆四十七年之前，朝鲜使臣未能亲眼目睹圆明园辉煌的一面，仅凭自己所持有的“小中华”意识以及儒家的观念，将圆明园视为“阿房”一样的皇帝娱游之地。而从乾隆四十七年开始，他们参加圆明园的礼仪活动，亲眼目睹圆明园宴会的辉煌,感受到了当时的乾隆盛世，此前“游戏之所”的印象被打破，并从圆明园中看到了“太平文物之盛”。但到了咸丰十年，圆明园遭到英法联军毁，昔日朝鲜使臣眼中盛世象征的圆明园已呈现出衰象。

This paper examines Choson envoys experiences of the Yuanming Yuan to explain their views of Qing dynasty． Choson envoys had not previously experienced the type of ritual activity they found in the Yuanming Yuan． Ｒelying on Confucian ideas and their own cultural self-identity as Little China they assumed the Yuanming Yuan was as an entertainment garden for Qing emperors such as Epang Palace．But，as Choson envoys began to participate in the ritual activities at the Yuanming Yuan after 1782，they saw the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty manifested in the Yuanming Yuan． Their views of the palace also changed from negative to positive．However，in October 1860，British and French troops destroyed the Yuanming Yuan．Thus，the image of the Yuanming Yuan changed from the prosperity of Qing Dynasty to the symbol of its decline in the eyes of Choson envoys．
