[edit] "tributary state"? A big mistake.

"tributary state"? It was more like a client state. Korean king knelt for Chinese messanger 9 times to the ground, which was called Kowtow(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowtow) back then.

This clearly shows korean's client state. It is described on "Samjeondo Monument"(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samjeondo_Monument) in Seoul.

"a symbol of respectful diplomatic policy"? No, it is not.

[edit] Change log

I found the description of Yeongeunmun Gate in the "Independence Gate" article which is more accurate. So I used the words.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Gate "... Treaty of Shimonoseki. After that, Korea demolished the Yeongeunmun Gate, which had been the symbol of prevailing submissive diplomatic policy towards China, and built the Independence Gate."
