Before and after the finishing time of “the Diary of Laojiazhai’s Life in Peking”, there are two basic but distinguishing approaches, monsterization and idealization, to the depiction of Emperor Kangxi’s image in the Korean serial books about their journey to Peking. Different from monsterization and idealization, Kangxi’s image in “the Diary of LaoJiazhai’s Life in Peking” is between them and appears to be a tendency of complication. Laojiazhai’s creation of the Kangxi’s image is mixed with a “pre-understanding” of Manchu and Kangxi. Due to the author’s outstanding skill in depicting Emperor Kangxi’s image, his creation and depiction has become one integrated part of the “effective history” and become the foundation of those following creations of Emperor Kangxi’s image.
