永乐皇帝龙驭上宾消息传到朝鲜，引发一系列政治礼仪举措，从中可以生动展见明朝与朝鲜宗藩关系运行的方式尺度。朝鲜君臣谨慎依照中原礼仪为永乐皇帝举行丧礼，体现高度中华礼仪文化自觉，同时浸透谨慎事大的政治考量。永乐皇帝宾天消息从官方渠道达于朝鲜与朝鲜从民间获取该消息的时间差，表明朝鲜与明朝政府间信息往来并非迅捷有效。《朝鲜王朝实录》关于永乐皇帝之死及诸多关涉明朝宫廷内重大事件的记载皆含朦胧不清处，提示使用域外资料仍需如使用域内资料一样谨慎进行可靠性推究。明前期皇帝向朝鲜索要处女及以嫔妃、宫女殉葬事，体现帝制时代仍然存在龟缩到权贵高层角落的奴隶制社会关系残余，朝鲜一方面为之尽力周旋，同时也对之表露鄙薄怨恨之意，属明朝皇室咎由自取。

The message of emperor Yongle’ s death triggered a series of political and ritual responding activities in Joseon Dynasty,which vividly reflect the operational codes of Joseon as a tributary state in dealing with the Ming Dynasty. Following traditional Chinese ritual rules with clear cultural consciousness,the Joseon court held a remote funeral ceremony for emperor Yongle. Meanwhile,all related activities were also taken under cautious political considerations of serving the superior power. The official message of emperor Yongle’ s death reached Joseon significantly later than the date Joseon actually obtained the news,which suggests that the information communication between the two governments were not effective. The record of Annals of the Joseon Dynasty about emperor Yongle’ s death,as well as some other events of the Ming palace,are not necessarily more accurate than the record from the Ming side. Therefore the usage of those materials requires equal cautious critical examination. Early Ming emperors frequently required virgin maids from Joseon and forced court women to sacrifice their life for emperors’ death ceremony. These practices suggest that there were remains of slavery system existed in the imperial times especially in high society. Although did its best to serve these request,the Joseon court officials actually despised those practices.
