1. 개요[편집]
제1차 아편전쟁에서 패배한 청나라가 승리한 영국과 1842년 8월 29일에 맺은 불평등 조약이다.
중국 근ㆍ현대사의 시작을 알린 조약이며, 이후에 체결되는 동아시아 각국들 조약의 원형이 된 조약이다.
청나라는 영국과 굴욕적인 협상을 할 수밖에 없었고, 당시 난징에 정박 중이었던 영국 군함 콘월리스호(HMS Cornwallis)[4] 에서 청나라 전권대사 기영(耆英, 1787 ~ 1857)·이리포(伊里布, 1772 ~ 1843)와 영국 전권대사이자 준남작 헨리 포틴저(Henry Pottinger, 1789 ~ 1856)[5] 가 이 조약에 조인하였다. 총 13조로 구성되어 있고, 1843년 6월 홍콩에서 비준서가 교환되었다.
조약 체결 당시 청나라는 도광제의 치세였으며, 영국은 빅토리아 여왕의 치세였다.

3. 의의와 이후의 동향[편집]
청은 이 조약으로 한일중(韓日中) 중 최초로 외세에 굴복하여 무력 개항을 당하게 되었다.[10] 청나라의 양무운동 추진에 영향을 주었다. 이후 일본(에도 막부)가 미국에 굴복하여 두 번째로, 한국(조선)이 일본 제국에 굴복하여 세 번째로 쇄국정책을 폐지하고 개항을 한다. 관세 자주권을 상실하여 식민 지배의 여지를 남긴 채 나라의 문을 열었다는 점도 난징 조약과 동일하다.[11]
적잖은 사람들이 오해하는데, 이 1842년 난징 조약은 중국사에서 최초의 근대적 조약이 아니다. 청나라 강희제 때 루스 차르국(러시아)과 맺은 네르친스크 조약과 이후 옹정제 때 러시아 제국과 맺은 캬흐타 조약이 있기 때문이다.
난징 조약을 비롯하여 이후에 맺어지는 여러 열강들과의 조약은 청이 열강과 맺는 불평등조약의 시초가 되어, 영국을 비롯한 유럽 여러 나라들에게 경제·정치·문화·영토면에서 청 침략의 길을 열어주게 되었다. 또한 난징 조약의 체결은 제국주의 열강이 동아시아로 세력을 확대하는 데 본격적인 시발점이 되었다.
이후 청나라는 1843년에 난징 조약의 후속 조약인 후먼 조약(虎門條約, 호문조약)[12] 을 영국과 맺었으며, 1844년 7월에는 미국(당시 존 타일러 대통령 집권기)과 왕샤조약(望厦條約, 망하조약)[13] 을, 1844년 10월에는 프랑스(당시 7월 왕정 프랑스)와도 황푸조약(黄埔条约, 황포조약)[14] 을 각각 체결하게 된다. 그러고도 성이 안찬 유럽 열강은 애로호 사건과 선교사 문제 등을 이유로 또다시 청나라와의 전쟁을 일으키는데, 그것이 바로 제2차 아편전쟁이다.
난징 조약 체결 이후, 청나라의 한족(漢族)들은 태평천국 운동에서 드러나듯 만주족의 지배에 대한 불만을 더더욱 드러내기 시작했다. 조약 체결 당시 조선은 헌종의 치세로, 세도정치기였다. 조선은 연행사[15] 를 통해 아편 전쟁과 난징 조약의 체결을 알았지만,
