In Korea, Japan and China, historical records on the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592-1598 show so much difference and inconsistency, that the new generation of scholars cannot help but feel doubt about their credibility. At the same time it is obvious that in all these countries the documentation is going to reflect their particular interest and stance on the issue, highlighting their own merit and showing the other party in a negative light. Also, as communication between the three countries does not go smoothly, there is a possibility that some of the records, also in third countries, may contain contradictory or irrelevant information. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the approach to the Japanese invasion in Chinese historiography, which is based on records dating back to the Ming dynasty times and concentrates on China’s dispatching troops to Chosun and its role as Chosun’s saviour. Although both the Ming and Chosun dynasties’ history records depict their resistance against the Japanese invasion, their view of the war differs, since it was influenced by the unequal, tributary relation between the two countries. As it is indicated below, historical writing on the Japanese invasion in China reflects only the Chinese perspective and outlook on the war. Therefore if the new generations of scholars continue to research the Japanese invasion only through the materials and perspective of one country, they will not be able to go beyond the view that was established in the bygone epoch. It is crucial that scholars in China, Korea and Japan conduct a joint research to overcome these limitations.
