Posterior Korean History Compilation Committee of the Joseon History Compilation Association

 The predecessor of the National History Compilation Committee, which is currently in charge of compiling national history textbooks, was established in 1946, and its roots were the Korean History Compilation Committee created during the Japanese colonial period. Right here is the deep root of the problem of Korean history textbooks. The Japanese established the Joseon History Compilation Committee in 1922 and the Joseon History Compilation Association in 1925. Japan cannot have created such an institution because it loved our history. The Japanese imperialism was greatly embarrassed when Baekam Park Eun-sik's "Korean Tongsa" and Danjae Shin Chae-ho's patriotic history and editorials, who fled the country in the early 1900s, had a great influence on Korea. Japan decided to distort our history against this. By defining our history as a history of heteronomy, identity, and quadrupleism, we tried to deny long-standing uniqueness and development, and to root out the will of the people to protest by continuously planting this logic. In addition, in order to develop and spread this perception of history, the Joseon History Compilation Committee and the Joseon History Compilation Association were created. The political character becomes clear in that the chairman of the Joseon History Compilation Association was Sitaoka, the general superintendent of the Joseon Governor-General, not a scholar. Therefore, it is natural that one-man scholars such as Roita and Miura, professors of Kyungsung University, and famous pro-Japanese groups such as Lee Wan-yong and Kwon Joong-hyun, entered the Joseon History Compilation Society as advisors. And it is very natural for single scholars such as Suematsu and Emanishi to join the committee under the new people's rule. However, the problem was that scholars from academia such as Lee Byung-do and Shin Seok-ho participated in undermining our history by receiving rust from the Japanese Government-General of Korea as investigators or investigators. In addition, the bigger problem is that their participation in the Joseon History Compilation Association was not organized in the liberation space and passed on, and it is directly linked to the essential problems of Korean history textbooks to this day. Lee Byung-do is a representative scholar of so-called empirical history, which is still a big trend in Korean academia, and he is also Lee Wan-yong's skill as Woobong Lee. He attended Waseda University in Japan and laid the foundation for literature archaeology, that is, empirical history, under the guidance of Yoshida and Tsuda, of which the relationship between Lee Byung-do and colonial history is fateful in that Tsuda distorted and eradicated ancient Korean history along with Imanishi. Lee Byung-do participated not only in the Joseon History Compilation Association, but also in a written academic organization called the Cheonggu Society, which was created in 1930 by Kyungsungje University, Joseon History Compilation Members, and officials from the Governor-General. Shin Seok-ho also moved to Japan, studied at Seisoku English School, graduated from the Department of Law and Literature at Kyungsung University, entered the Joseon History Compilation Association in 1929, and was promoted to an investigator and investigator, just like Lee Byung-do. Liberation was not so pleasant to them, but it showed amazing vitality to revive by taking advantage of the confrontation between the left and right sides caused by the Cold War. Lee Byung-do and Shin Seok-ho established a temporary secondary Korean teacher training center in 1945 to train Korean teachers. He started to train Korean history teachers at a time when he had to reflect on the past of distorting Korean history under the rust of Japanese imperialism and repent. In addition, in 1946, he succeeded the Joseon History Compilation Company to create a National Academy, and the person who led it was Shin Seok-ho, a member of the Joseon History Compilation Society, and he became the first director of the National Academy. Of course, it was necessary to collect the data held by the Joseon History Compilation Association, but it should not be up to the pro-Japanese scholar who participated in the Joseon History Compilation Association and robbed Korean history. The National History Museum, which was created in this way, has survived to this day since it was expanded to the National History Compilation Committee in 1949 to respond to North Korea's Joseon History Compilation Committee. Of course, today's National History Compilation Committee is not an institution that follows the logic of the Joseon History Compilation Association of Japan. It is true that the Korean History Compilation Committee plays its own role in the barren Korean history research climate, such as steadily publishing materials such as "Korean Independence Movement Data Collection." In addition, the ongoing publication of a total of 52 "Korean History" is of great significance in summarizing the research results so far.

 The logic of the Joseon History Compilation Association and the disappeared ancient kings Then, how did the Joseon History Compilation Association attempt to exterminate our history and how is it affecting the current state textbooks? According to the Chosun History Compilation Association Project Report published by the Joseon History Compilation Association, in 1932-38, the Japanese compiled 35 volumes of Joseon History, which had 24,000 pages, and the military officers penetrating this vast amount of books were the four elements and identity theory, and the extinction of ancient Korean history. Volume 35 of "Chosun History" consists of Volume 1 before Silla Unification (total volume 3), Volume 2 of the Unified Silla Period (volume 1), Volume 3 of the Goryeo Dynasty (total 7), Volume 4 of the Joseon Dynasty (total 10), and Volume 6 of the Joseon Dynasty (total 4 of the Joseon Dynasty. The history that began to be reduced, including the ancient history of the organization, was found to have been deleted from the genealogy of the previous dynasties attached to the appendix of the latter part of the Korean history textbook, including the deletion of as many as 16 kings from Baekje and Silla. In addition, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla were all founded in the 1st century B.C., while state textbooks have written that Goguryeo was founded only in the 1st century A.D., Baekje in the mid-3rd century, and Silla in the mid-4th century. However, the logic of this colonial view shows how fictional the logic is just by looking at the results of the recent excavation of Pungnaptoseong Fortress in Seoul. The excavation results of Pungnaptoseong Fortress show that it was built around the 2nd century BC to the 3rd century BC, with a circumference of 3.5km, a width of 226,000 pyeong, and a height of 9-15m below the wall. In other words, it is a scale that cannot be built without the formation of a state, and it is evidence of the existence of Hanseong Baekje, which was claimed in ethnic history. This alone will clearly disprove that the current textbooks are insisting on the conspiracy of the Joseon History Compilation Association to exterminate ancient Korean history. In other words, it is evidence that many scholars, classified as ethnic history, argued right, and the fact that their arguments were sufficiently accepted even before such empirical evidence came out may be evidence that the conspiracy of the Joseon History Compilation Association still continues. Japanese imperialism taught Korean students as if empirical history was the standard of modern history and sold Korean traditional history as pre-modern history under the pretext of historical history based on facts or grounds. However, it is very regrettable that the arguments of ethnic historians are not accepted even in the current situation where the empirical evidence asserted in this logic of empirical history is being excavated countless times like Pungnaptoseong Fortress. Just as Shin Seok-ho, a former member of the Joseon History Compilation Association after liberation, became a professor at Seoul National University, a successor to Kyungsung University, and his disciples became professors in history and history.
