The regime on the Korean Peninsula remained independent of the Central Plains Dynasty for most of its time in ancient times, although it often existed in the form of vassals belonging to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Where did the Koreans behave towards the vassals of the Central Plains Dynasty? Mainly manifested in their title of their own king, Korea did not have an emperor, and later the Korean Empire that arrogantly claimed the title of emperor basically could not be counted, because it was just a joke, and the so-called Korean Empire disappeared within a few years. The Korean monarch in the true sense of the word existed only at the level of a king, not even a prince in the Central Plains Dynasty. Therefore, Korean monarchs can only call themselves kings instead of emperors, and their honorific titles are only chitose, not long live.
