Ashyria that unified Orient.

 Ashyria was the first country to unify Orient. Asia was located in the upper reaches of the Tigris River, which is today's northern Iraq. Asia unified Orient in the 7th century B.C. and built a great empire across Mesopotamia and Egypt.

  Ashyria started in 2500 B.C. from a city state near the Tigris River. The city-state, called Ashur, is named after the god Ashur in Assyrian mythology. The Assyrian Empire, which unified Orient, moved its capital from Ashur to Nineveh as its territory gradually expanded. The Assyrians developed a strong and brave ethnicity by preventing constant invasion of other peoples.

  The Tigris River basin, where the Assyrians lived, was a place with convenient transportation and many other ethnic groups. Using these geographical advantages, Asia has developed its strength by doing international trade. After that, it was equipped with iron weapons and tank units to have great military power. Based on its excellent weapons and brave ethnicity, Asia was able to unify Orient.

The most famous kings of Asia are Sargon II and Ashurbanipal. Sargon II, who appeared in the 8th century B.C., was the king who opened the heyday of Asia. He conquered Syria and Palestine and destroyed the kingdom of Israel. King Ashurbanipal is the last king of Asia. He suppressed the rebellion that took place at the conquest site and continued the war to expand his territory. He was also interested in culture, so he established a library in the capital Ninebe, and collected and organized clay version documents on theology, language, and literature recorded in wedge letters from all over the world.

  Ashyria had a well-trained army and a reversal to maintain a wide empire. In particular, well-trained tank units and heavy taxes terrified the people. Asyria ruled strongly in the conquered area, such as rebellion or destroying the city if taxes were not paid, and expelling the people living there.

  Ashyria, which was so powerful, began to falter little by little after the death of King Ashurbanipal, with revolts in various places, starting with Egypt, independence from Media and Lydia. And in 612 B.C., less than 100 years after reunification, Nineveh was captured by the allied forces of Media and Neobabylonia, and Asia was destroyed. After the fall of Ashyria, Egypt, Sinbabilia, Media, and Lydia took over the Orient area.

Four Civilizations - Hwanghwa Civilization

 The occurrence of the Yellow River civilization.

The Yellow River civilization was a civilization that occurred in the red clay layer of the Yellow River basin, and Neolithic culture took place from around 5000 to 4000 BC. millet rice and millet were cultivated, and dogs and pigs were also raised. The Yellow River civilization is divided into the Longsan culture and the Yangsao culture.

The Yangsao culture (upstream of the Yellow River) is from 4000 to 2000 BC (not accurate). They made and used lacquered earthenware. Representative places of this culture are Yang Sao in Henan Province. That's why this culture is called Yang Sao Culture of Yang Sao culture. 

The Longsan Culture (downstream of the Yellow River) is estimated to be around 2500-1500 BC. Black clayware was used throughout the Yellow River and East Asia. It is called the Longsan Culture because its center is Longsan Mountain in Shandong Province.

At the end of the Neolithic period, bronze was invented and bronze was used. The strong side overpowered the weak side to build a dynasty. China's first dynasty was the Silver Kingdom. Silver uses Gapgol characters and elaborate bronze tools. During the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the agricultural revolution took place by using iron. As a result, large-scale repair work was carried out, and as a result, farming became efficient, cultivated area expanded, and harvest increased. These promoted the development of the monetary economy, and the development of the monetary economy was also driven by the prosperity of commerce and industry, which brought about the prosperity of the city and the wealth of the state. Various luxurious relics found in China are set in this situation.

The spread of the Yellow River civilization.

From the beginning of history, the center of Chinese culture was in the Yellow River basin through the era of silver and state, and it seems that the same condition continued for some time even after entering the War-Korea period through the era of unification of the short Qin Dynasty. Around the time of Jeonhan's Muje (171 BC to 87 BC), ironware was almost distributed and regional differences in productivity were reduced, and culture was also averaged nationwide. The Yellow River civilization, which has a long tradition, has spread widely and has developed into a uniform culture.

It is questionable why the Yellow River basin, where red clay dust blows, blossomed the brilliant flowers of ancient Chinese civilization. Rather, wouldn't the quantum river basin be good for civilization to come up with? There are also questions like that.

 The ancient Chinese world, where traffic was not developed, was the best place for people to walk in and out of the Yellow River basin due to its relatively flatness and few mountains. Frequent human traffic means that transactions of production and consumption will occur frequently. Five thousand years ago, the Yangtze River basin at that time was an unknown world and remote area for people living in the Yellow River as it showed a subtropical pattern infested with marsh, swamps, shrubs, dense primeval forests, crocodiles, hippos, elephants, snakes, insects and barbarians. The loess plateau in the Yellow River basin was a little barren, but it had very suitable conditions for farming. The thick red clay layer of land had few stones and rocks, and there was no dense forest, so it was easy to cultivate and plow fields. Moreover, the slightly dry and cool climate was optimal for growing wheat and millet.

 In particular, the Shanxi Province, Seomseoseong Province, Gansu Province, and Ningshahui Autonomous Region in the middle of the Yellow River form a thick and continuous sedimentary layer of Ross. The Hwangto Plateau forms a climate point between the wet monsoon regions in the south and east and the desert regions in the north and west, has low humidity, is located at an altitude of 500 to 2,000m above sea level, and winter is very dry and cold. Spring is also very dry, with 70% of precipitation concentrating in July, August, and September.

 Most of the Hubei Plain is formed by the soil flowing down the middle and downstream of the Hwanghe River.The amount of mud contained in the running water is so large that it is called "six muds in a horse of water," that 1.38 billion tons of mud are transported downstream a year.

 In other words, the Yellow River basin in the past was dry with a continental climate and fertile red clay deposited to form a red clay zone, so the Yellow River civilization took place in the Yellow River.

Great Wall of China.

It reaches the western self-defense hall from the eastern Sanhaegwan, and the total length of the map will be about 2,700km, but in fact, it will reach 5,000km. The origin of Jangseong originated from the ritual of the Spring and Autumn Period, and several countries, including Yeon, Jo, Wi, and Elementary, built Jangseong in national cities. When Emperor Xi of Qin unified the world in 221 BC, in 214 BC, the fortress built by Yeon and Jo on the north side was expanded and renovated, and in the south of Gansu Province, the west of the Hwanghagang River, extended eastward along the Insan Mountain Range to Liao-dong's chest. At the end of the 2nd century BC, Muje extended the general to Okmungwan outside Dunhwang, the western end of the territory.

 

The generals of the Jin-Han period stretched far north than the current ones, and the reason why they moved south to their current location was to prepare for the invasion of Kitan and stone palaces. In other words, the northern latitude reinforced the fortress in the early 5th century, and another fortress wall was built near the capital Pyeongseong in the middle. In addition, in the middle of the 6th century, Bukje built a fortress from the northwest of today's Dung and Sanhaigwan, and then built a neutral fortress in the place corresponding to the current Neichangcheong. On the other hand, Jangseong Fortress, which runs south along the Taihang Mountains in the northern part of the border between Henanseong Fortress and Sanseoseong Fortress today, seems to have been built around that time as a defense measure against Bukju. After that, the Su Dynasty built a general on the south side of Ordos and expanded the game to much north of the general during the time, so it did not need a general as a defense line, and after the five generations, it was almost neglected because it was under the occupation of the northern people.

 

It was in the Ming Dynasty that Jangseong had the current scale from Sanhaigwan to Jawigwan. Reinforcement began from the Yeongnak Year (1403-1424), and the Jangseong Fortress on the south side of Ordos was contracted during the orthodox Year (1436-1449), and the Jangseong Fortress on the south side of Ordos (1522-146) was completed through the western end of Ordos in the mid-15th to early 16th century. The Ming Dynasty divided this Jangseong area into nine military districts and established a solid inertia in the transportation hub through the Jangseong, that is, Yenmungwan, Zhu Yunggwan, Gubaikou, and Jangjakou.

After the Qing Dynasty, military significance was lost, and it became only a political and administrative boundary line between mainland China and Manchuria and Mongolia. On the other hand, the materials for construction are sun-dried bricks, pancakes, and stones, and the walls are 6-9m high, 4.5m wide, and 9m wide. It is listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

Qin Shi Huangneung Royal Tomb.

It is also called Yeosanneung Tomb as the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, who founded the Qin Dynasty. With a height of 116m, a length of 2.5m, and a length of 600m on all sides, as many as 700,000 prisoners were mobilized to carry out the construction.

The coffin was cast in the east, and the inside of the tomb was filled with models such as palaces and pavilions and various rare treasures. In addition, the mercury modeled after the Yellow River, the quantum crown, and the sea, continued to flow, and the sun, the moon, and stars engraved with pearls sparkled in the ceiling to spread the world on the ground. In addition, candles were made from whale oil and lighting facilities were set up. In addition, a bow was installed inside so that it can be automatically fired immediately when a thief invades. When Qin Shi Huang died and was buried in the tomb, all concubines were buried alive, and immediately after the burial, all the doors in the tomb were locked to keep it secret, causing all those who participated to die alive, and trees were planted on the tomb to look like mountains.

In addition, tens of thousands of thefts, including servants and servants who worship Qin Shi Huang, guards, and war horses, were placed inside the tomb, and some were even made by covering copper water boiling alive.

 

Banpo ruins.

It is the standard relic of the Banpo-type Yangsao culture. It was discovered in 1953 and excavated and investigated five times from 1954 to 1957 by the Archaeological Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to discover many remains and relics such as houses, tombs, and storage pits. The site of the house is rectangular, circular, and oval, and its structure is semi-basement and flat knowledge. 250 tombs, including wooden tombs, jar tombs, and wooden coffin tombs, were found.

Most of the relics are earthenware, including grayish brown earthenware, red clayware, and black clayware. There are many animal patterns in this saturation, but you can also see geometric patterns. It is rich in stoneware and bone fragments, and there are many horses in stoneware, while there are few banmas and other products. In addition, bones such as pigs, dogs, deer, sheep, etc. were excavated from millet habitat and tombs, indicating that grains and vegetables were cultivated and livestock were raised.

 

The ruins of Maodigou.

Neolithic ruins in Maodigou, San Hsien County, Hunan Province, China.

It is located in the south coast of Qinglongjen, 2,8km southeast of Sanshen Province. It was discovered in 1953 as the remains of two cultures, Yang Sao and Longsan, and was excavated and investigated twice in 1956 and 1957.

At the bottom of the ruins, representative types of Yangsao culture were excavated, including the main foot type and bowl-type earthenware of the black colored gate characterized by leaf-shaped curved patterns called the Maodigou type.

On the upper floor, relics representing the early days of the Longsan culture, named the second culture of Moudigou, were excavated. Residential sites, key sites, Hwagang, and graveyards were found in this ruins, and earthenware, stone tools, and bone carvings were excavated. In addition, the emergence of new agricultural equipment and the discovery of livestock patterns such as cattle and goats in addition to pigs and dogs in the past prove the development of economic life. In addition, the discovery of this relic proved that the Longsan culture developed from the Yangsao culture.

About Prince Hodong and Princess Nangrang.

 The background of the times seems to be that the orangcae, called the Han Dynasty, occupied Nakrangguk, the old land of Goguryeo, and Goguryeo was reunified again, but in the article, Nakrangguk seems to be a gentle country that lasted 300 years. However, if Prince Hodong begs, it is expressed that the people are naked and exploited because they are occupied by orangk Prince Hodong was a very outstanding general in Goguryeo, a very outstanding figure, and was admired by women across the country and is the most likely prince in the future. But that stepmother... Anyway, the king's wife was a tax-saving man, who had a severe crush on Prince Hodong, and one day, when the prince refused, he framed the prince, hiding his identity and fleeing to the neighboring country of Nakrang. Even there, he was always thinking of occupying Nakrangguk because of his strong loyalty to his home country. However, there was a mysterious drum called Jamyeonggo in Nakrangguk, which is a state-of-the-art system drum that automatically rings when there is an invasion of the country. Prince Hodong was always researching to tear this drum, and there was Princess Nakrang, a beautiful woman, who was as famous as Jamyeonggo in Nakrangguk. The two fell in love at first sight, but Princess Nakrang loved each other more severely, and perhaps the two had affection for each other without knowing the wealth king. Prince Hodong used Princess Nakrang to tear the Jamyeonggo, and just around the time the two tried to escape from the Nakrangguk, he was in danger of dying because he was caught by a general who came to marry Princess Nakrang in Orancae. In this gap, I tried to tear the alarm and escape from Princess Nakrang, but the princess who went to tear the alarm had a key. ) The princess was imprisoned and managed to escape only the prince, and the soldiers who were rescuing the prince died because they collapsed while tearing up their alarm with a dagger. Let's skip the middle part. Prince Hodong eventually took over Nakrangguk and sought a princess, but the king of Nakrang, who was betrayed by his daughter, killed his daughter and committed suicide, so Prince Hodong couldn't keep his promise to live on the cliff. It's a very sad story. But... The question is... It can be seen that Prince Hodong is not a soldier, but a great enemy as the body of a prince who will become king in the future of an enemy country. Why was the alarm quietly saying that such a person had been living as a soldier in the court for a long time, not just crossing the front line? Also... Why was Jamyeonggo quiet even though his subordinates invaded the palace to save his life when the prince was in danger of dying? And why did the prince make the princess suffer from the dangerous task of tearing the alarm? He's strong and athletic. If he draws a few times, it'll be easy. There seems to be a lot of shortcomings in the story.

Portuguese culture handed down to Japan - Firearms and armor

 Cheolpo - [Arquebus] It is known that the tradition of Cheolpo - Arquebus in Japan begins with a typhoon on August 25, 1543, a Portuguese ship on the remote island of southern Kyushu, clearly recorded.  The ship's captain, who started from Yeongpa, was a Chinese man named Wangjik, who claimed to be a Portuguese ship for fear of the ship's napo and pretended not to be a captain under the pseudonym Obong. However, out of all sailors, only three Portuguese, including navigators, and the rest were Chinese and Ryukyu, a total of hundreds and dozens. At that time, Wangjik had not yet secured grounds in Japan, so it is still unclear what he went there for, but at least it is clear that the remote island Tanegashima was not his destination. Anyway, they stayed on the island for about six months to repair the ship, which was severely damaged by typhoons (the reason is that it took time to procure it because there was no iron pond), while they frequently traveled back and forth between Tanegashima and residents as well as Kyushu. It seems that this is the time when Wangjik negotiated so that he could secure a base in Nagasaki. However, the most important thing will be the tradition of Cheolpo. Tokisada Tanegashima, a provincial governor of Tanegashima, saw a Portuguese iron barrage that came out to the interview with him and fired a test shot, and then realized its power and commodity value. So, he seduced Portuguese, and among them, he gave a large amount of money (about 1 billion won in money now) to a friend named Francis Jaymot to buy how to use the steel bar. After that, the most competent blacksmith in Tanegashima gave this iron cloth and ordered it to be reproduced. In January 1544, the next year, the ship returned to China, when the steel bar that could already be fired was completed, and Portuguese were very surprised at its replication skills. By the end of 1544, Tanegashima made about 50 iron bars and started exporting them to Kyushu. This was also a great business, and the first Tanegashima provincial governor bought two guns for Francis, one for use as a prototype of reproduction, and one for Shimazu in Satsumabun immediately. Shimazu also dedicate it to Shogun Ashikaga. In other words, the sample was turned first before production to secure purchasing power. However, both Shimazu and Ashikaga sent people to Tanegashima to learn how to manufacture and produce them on their own, so Tanegashima's exclusive production did not last very long. Until then, Tanegashima's escape would have been hundreds of times more than the invested base. The most important thing among the influences of barbed wire during Japan's national era is that it entered an era of arms competition where war could not be fought without money. Only before that, even small Daimyo would have been able to withstand the appearance of iron guns, but after the appearance of iron guns, it would not have survived unless it was a large-scale Daimyo with enough economic power to equip an expensive Hwaseunggun. In this way, Cheolpo can be seen as a major cause of the end of Japan's national era. The difference in combat power is clearly widened by the difference between the new weapon technology and the economic power to acquire it.      Along with Namman armor and pitching Hwaseungchong, the Portuguese weapons that Japan was interested in at the time were steel sheet metal armor and pitching.The protection of European armor made by tapping the entire iron plate was very impressive for Japanese people who only knew Ooyoro or Dangsegu people, who complicatedly connected small iron plates or leather pieces with strings.   Many armed people from all over the country, including Tokugawa Ieyasu, wore sheet metal armor, and Nobunaga Oda often wore steel breast gloves imported from Europe through missionaries. However, that did not mean that the whole body was covered with sheet metal armor, and chest armor and pitching were often made by compromising with the traditional Dangsegu style.  The armor in the picture below is the southern pack of Uesugi Kenshin. For your information, this armor is not Kenshin's real armor. It's armor created for movies. The name of the movie is ten-to-chi-to.I made a film of Saionji's novel of the same name. (Director is Kadokawa)

Former Chinese Prime Minister Zhou Eon Line. "Balhae is Korean history".

 It has been confirmed that former Chinese Prime Minister Zhou Eon-line, along with "Balhae is Korean History," "8 News" and "Anchor" Mao Zedong, former Chinese Prime Minister Zhou Eon-lai, who was also called the friend of the people, recognized Balhae history as Korean history and warned of nationalism. Reporter Jeong Ha-seok reports. <Reporter> In June 1963, then Chinese Prime Minister Zhou Eon-lai met with historians from North Korea. Some Chinese historical circles are tied to great nationalism and nationalism and ask them to point out their mistakes through joint research. Some historians' claims related to ancient history in Manchuria were criticized as absurd stories and distortion of history. At the same time, I admit that Balhae was the history of the Korean people. Furthermore, I acknowledge that the basin of the Yoha and Songhwagang River was the territory of the ancient Korean people. Former Prime Minister Zhou's remarks were published in the Foreign Affairs Operation Notice, a business record document from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the contents are close to the internal record. The document was obtained and released by former lawmaker Seol Hoon, who is training at Beijing University in China. [Seolhoon/Former lawmaker: It could be a decisive resource for us to discuss historical issues such as Goguryeo issues in Korea and China in the future] If there was a controversy 40 years ago over ancient history of Korea and China, the difference is that it was not now.

Su-eun Kang Hang, a Korean scholar who helped develop Japan's educational culture by transferring Neo-Confucianism to Japan.

 Naesanseowon Confucian Academy, where Sueun Ganghang was enshrined. Gan Yang-rok, the theme song of a popular drama that aired in 1980, was a popular song sung by singer Cho Yong-pil. Ganyangrok, the title of this song, is a diary-type record written by Sueun Kang Hang, a Confucian scholar in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, who was taken to Japan as a prisoner during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1597. Recently, in a Japanese city, Neugang Port is evaluated as the most remarkable historical figure, attracting our attention. In February 2002, there was a special meeting at Oz City Hall. It invited people from Yeonggwang-gun Office in Jeollanam-do for friendly exchanges in Oozu City, Japan. The relationship between the two regions was due to a Korean scholar from Yeonggwang. He is a person who stayed for a while in Ozu City, a mercury river port. Oz citizens' interest in coercion can be felt throughout Oz City. In front of the Oz Civic Center, there is a Hyeonchangbi monument to commemorate Ganghang Port. Next to Hyeonchangbi, there is an article introducing Ganghang, which describes Ganghang as the "father of Japanese Neo-Confucianism." Father of Japanese Neo-Confucianism! This is why Oozushi, Japan, remembers and honors the strong port. The name of Ganghang also appears in the elementary school textbooks of Ozu City. Tsuneo Murakami, a local historian in Oozushi City, organized the so-called Ganghang Research Society and continued to study Ganghang by collecting collections and materials left by Ganghang. Why are the people of Ozushi so immersed in the character Kang Hang? Tsuneo Murakami said, "We have to inform him somehow after knowing that Kang Hang has delivered such high-quality learning to Japan. The Japanese must thank this person. With this thought, I studied hard for 10 years." Kang Hang Research Members' research on Kang Hang has been conducted from various angles. Until now, the Kanghang Research Association has explored the places where Kanghang visited and excavated them as historical sites. Nagahama Port is the place where the river port, which was brought to Japan, first arrived. Tsuneo Murakami "The family of Kang Hang, who became prisoners in this direction, reached here by boat. At that time, there was no port on this coast. Simosga, Nagahama City, about two kilometers away from this Hajicheon Stream, was the port of that time. It seems that it has landed there." After arriving at the port, Ganghang Port passes through the current Hijicheon Stream and heads to Oozuseong Fortress. The Ganghang Research Association is so devoted to Ganghang that it excavates every single shallow river. On the road next to Hajicheon Stream, where Ganghang Port passed, a wooden sign was erected to mark the land related to Ganghang Port. And next to the wooden sign, Ganghang's Chinese poem was engraved. The people of Oz are sincerely honoring the Joseon scholar Kang Hang 400 years ago. If you look at the supplementary textbooks used by elementary school students in Oozushi, Japan, page 84 introduces Kang Hang in half. However, Kang Hang is not a well-known figure among Koreans now. Moreover, our general common sense is that Toegye Lee Hwang, who influenced Japan in the field of Neo-Confucianism. However, it is a little unfamiliar to us that Kang Hang first conveyed Neo-Confucianism to Japan. Then, how did Kang Hang become dragged to Japan? The process of Kang Hang's being dragged to Japan is described in detail in his book, Ganyangrok. According to Gan Yang-rok, it was in 1597 that Kang Hang went to Japan at the age of 30. Kang Hang, who was in the government post of Hyeongjo Jwarang at the time, took a short vacation and came down to his hometown. At that time, war broke out in Joseon. Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who had dispatched 200,000 troops to Joseon in 1592, attempted to re-invade Joseon again. It was Jeong Yoo Jaeran. At that time, the Japanese army landed in Busan, passed Tongyeong, Gyeongsang-do, and pushed into Jeolla-do. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's strategy was to focus on the Jeolla-do area. Kanghang, who was at his hometown and heard the news of the Japanese invasion, headed to Namwon. Ganghang Port was collecting grains from Yeonggwang area and transporting them to Namwonseong Fortress to procure military rice in Namwonseong Fortress. However, Namwonseong Fortress was captured three days after being attacked by the Japanese army. The atrocities committed by the Japanese army in the Joseon Dynasty at that time are described in detail in the Dongguk Express Samganghaengsildo. She cut the neck of a woman holding a child and cut her hands and feet off. And the elderly and children were brutally killed regardless of whether they were old or young. Ganghang Port is surrounded by Japanese military ships while getting two ships, loading food, and heading to Chilsando Island with their families. In the meantime, Kang Hang suffers the pain of his young children being killed by the Japanese army. The Kanghang family, who became prisoners of the Japanese army, was taken to Japan. He tried to escape by the time he passed Suncheon, but the result was a failure. Afterwards, amid intensified surveillance, the Kanghang family continued their difficult journey and eventually arrived in Oozushi, Japan, in about 10 days. Although it was already a war 400 years ago, records and paintings at the time show how many people died miserably. But one question arises here. At that time, the Japanese army brutally killed women and children regardless of whether they were women or children. But why did Kang Hang try to lead Japan without killing him? Japan, which caused the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, focused on looting cultural properties such as books, woodblock prints, and crafts of Joseon at that time. And the number of Koreans who were captured and sent to Japan reached 100,000, most of whom were potters and craftsmen. It was to loot Joseon's advanced technologies. And many intellectuals such as Kang Hang were also taken to Japan. Then, why did they take Joseon intellectuals who did not have special skills, such as potters and craft engineers, into captivity? Kinzan Shooting Century, about 30 minutes by car from Ozu Province, is a place with a deep connection with Kanghang, who was taken prisoner by Japan 400 years ago. There is a Joseon bell hanging at the entrance of the temple, which is said to have been looted together when Ganghang Port was brought to Japan. Perhaps Ganghang soothed his longing for his hometown by looking at this bell. However, the reason why Ganghang enjoyed visiting this place 400 years ago is not only because of the bell of Joseon. This is because of a monk who was practicing Buddhism here. Keikei, the fifth chief monk of Keizan, met Ganghang and exchanged Chinese poems to build friendship, and he also showed Ganghang a national map of Japan, a national secret. According to Gan Yang-rok, Japanese society at the time seemed to value martial arts, so if there was a scar on the face that fought with a knife, it was respected as a courageous person. In addition, such records are seen in Ganyangrok. He called it a bookkeeper who killed his enemies after arguing with each other, and the descendants of those who were good at using swords were respected by people and obtained precious confusion. This social atmosphere peaks in the middle of the 16th century when Hideyoshi Toyotomi took power. For Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who had the ambition of a continental invasion, the warriors to be sent to the battlefield were important resources. Therefore, the warriors, who had already had strong power since the Warring States period, became powerful forces in Japanese society even after Hideyoshi Toyotomi took power. Youjo Mizobuchi, "When Ganghang Port was taken prisoner, Japan was an era of barbarism in terms of the era of force. At that time, Japan continued to fight between parents and children as enemies, and brothers. From the moral point of view of studying abroad, it was common for Japan to kill each other at that time." According to Ganyangrok, the armed forces, who were powerful in Japanese society during that time, did not read a single sick book properly because they did not know the writing. In this era, Japan's only intellectuals were monks. Monks, who are knowledgeable in Japanese society, studied various disciplines other than Buddhist scriptures. So at that time, Japanese monks had all the functions of doctors, fortune tellers, and diplomats. Among these Japanese monks, many were interested in Neo-Confucianism. However, Neo-Confucianism was not widely distributed in Japan at that time. In contrast, Neo-Confucianism was deeply rooted in life in Joseon, where Confucianism was used as the state religion. Kang Hang-do also learned Neo-Confucianism from his brother, and Kang Hang's brother Kang Jun is a person who continues Toegye Yi Hwang's academic background. This is why monks, the only intellectuals in Japan, tried to build friendship with Kang Hang. If you look closely at the picture of the Joseon Tongsinsa's visit to Japan in 1590, seven years before Kang Hang was taken to Japan, you can see a Joseon Tongsinsa on a horse writing to the Japanese. According to the records of Joseon Tongsinsa, "I wrote to a monk named Hyunso in Japan..."It is known to people and it is written that those who seek writing flocked like clouds in front of the accommodation, which is a clear example of the Japanese being thirsty for the advanced culture of Joseon at the time. In particular, in the case of Neo-Confucianism, Joseon is rooted in not only political ideology but also in the lives of the people, that is, Neo-Confucianism. However, Japan was a study that only some monks could access. As a result, in Japan, scholars with advanced knowledge such as Kang Hang were needed. And these intellectuals were given special treatment compared to other prisoners. Ganghang, who was taken to Japan as a prisoner, settles in Oozushi. Japanese armed forces gave him a two-story pavilion house and even deployed servants to listen to him. However, Kang Hang was not easily assimilated into Japanese society. It is said that he always dressed as a Joseon scholar and did not lose the dignity of a disciplined Confucian scholar while discussing his studies with monks of Shootseonsa Temple. According to Ganyangrok, Ganghang often climbed the Seongru of Ozseong Fortress and looked west to soothe his longing for his hometown. Eventually, Kang Hang tries to escape. He met a Korean prisoner who ran away from Kyoto and escaped to the west. However, he is on the verge of being discovered by Japanese soldiers and executed. However, just before being executed, Tacadora Dodo, the lord of Ooz Province, suddenly ordered Kang Hang to stop the execution, and he barely saved his life. This was because Kai Kei, a monk of Kinshan Shoot Century, who had built a friendship with Kang Hang, was a person Takadora respected. The Japanese, who were sentenced to extreme punishment for Korean prisoners who attempted to escape, were as generous as Kang Hang because they highly appreciated Kang Hang's learning and tried to learn his knowledge. However, at that time, Ganghang had no choice but to return to his hometown. So he said he didn't even learn Japanese.

Meanwhile, a monk named Seika Fujiwara, who lived in Kyoto, visited Ganghang Port and took him as a teacher to study Neo-Confucianism in earnest. The two, whose language did not communicate, discussed Neo-Confucianism through writing. Kang Hang also writes a special theory book for Seika Fujiwara, who wanted to learn Neo-Confucianism very much. In Ozu City, Japan, there is a building from the Edo period left. This building, called Terrakoya, where Confucius's wooden tablet is enshrined, was a place where Neo-Confucianism was taught in Japan like a Confucian academy in Joseon. Following Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Tokugawa Iyeyatsu, who dominated Japan, opened the Edo Shogunate and focused on establishing human relationships by Neo-Confucianism in order to stabilize social order. In other words, it was intended to end the era of war and open the era of peace. Tokugawa Iyeyatsu brought Seika Fujiwara to Nijoseong Fortress and had a dispute with his close aide, Seisho Jotai, for a paid-and-paid debate. Through the debate between Confucianism and Buddhism, Yi Ye-yatsu learned that Confucianism was specifically important. After the Edo period, a school called Teracoya was established, and it was the achievement of the debate between people and people who taught Neo-Confucianism there. It was not until Seika that Neo-Confucianism began to spread to Japanese society. If Neo-Confucianism took root in Japanese society due to Seika Fujiwara, it was Kang Hang who sowed seeds so that Neo-Confucianism could take root. "Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded neighboring Joseon with guns and knives." However, Kang Hang passed on the great educational culture to Japan through his studies." Ganghang, which had to be placed in an unexpected fate during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, but the traces he left on Japanese land should now be remembered and honored by us.

The tyrant of Goguryeo, Cha Dae King

 King Cha Dae (the 7th) is a king who is called the Samgae tyrant along with King Movon (the 5th) and King Bongsang (the 14th). King Movon-->King Taejo-->The Great King Cha continued in the order of King Taejo, so it was exaggerated to make King Taejo shine even more, raising doubts that he became the epitome of a tyrant. King Taejo's father, Jae-sa, seems to have given birth to many children from several wives. (Jealous of him~;) King Taejo's mother, Geum, gave birth to understanding until late. Therefore, Taejo and Suseong are 24 years old even though they are winter brothers. Despite King Taejo's big age difference, he raised his younger brother as if he were treating his own children, and as King Suseong (King Cha) grew up, Mercury naturally emerged as the core of power with King Taejo's halo on his back. Mercury must have been a very smart person. He was very resourceful and good at military law, so he quickly participated in the battlefield and made a contribution, which strengthened his political position over time. The event in which Mercury reached the peak of power was in the fight against Donghan in the 69th year of King Taejo. Tens of thousands of soldiers led by Punghwan, Hyundo Taesu Yogwang, and Yodong Taesu Chaepung of Donghan were attracted to the canyon to use the rough terrain, holding tens of thousands of troops back. Taking advantage of the gap, 3,000 Goguryeo soldiers went to Liaodong and Hyeondo, and his position became firm as he won the victory to annihilate Han. At that time, Suseong was 50 years old... At that time, the damage to Donghan must have been considerable. After losing to Suseong, he went all the way to the point of handing over Hyundo and fluctuations, but thanks to the troops sent from Buyeo, he managed to protect them.I guess there was a lot of damage. After Mercury won the war against Korea, his political position became clear, and Mercury took a decisive opportunity. King Taejo was unable to take care of his affairs due to old age, so he took care of it, and let Suseong do proxy politics. But this was the source of trouble. On behalf of King Taejo, King Taejo took care of his affairs and made dogma. (In Sohae's opinion, it was because he was a person with a lot of experience in the battlefield.) Therefore, King Taejo entered the Suseong check.In October 123, the government was able to deal with the affairs without any problems for a while, using the loser Mokdoru and Gobokjang as left and right. However, as if flies were twisted in the original rotten fish, forces who sought power by using Mercury's power to desire power appear. (This is common, right?Among Mercury's subordinates, there were impersonators such as Miyu (then Gwannabu Wutae), Eojiryu (Hwannabu Wutae), and Yangshin (Biryu Nabujo). Nabu refers to a tribal autonomous district that once had its own territory and was incorporated into the jurisdiction of King Dongmyeongseong. There was an independent system in its own way, and the leader was called the loser, and below it were officials who gained the status of a major shareholder, housewife, Wootae, and Jo. Miyu, Eojiryu, and Yangshin, who belonged to Nabu, tried to use Mercury to advance to the central government. That's why it encourages the usurpation of the throne. They encourage King Taejo, saying, "Let's do this because he has no intention of siding the throne even though he is old!" At first, Mercury refused to refuse. (I guess he thought he would naturally succeed when he died as he got older) But if he passed it on to Prince Makgeun, Mercury would be in a hurry, so he would obey them. Lena's coordination officials noticed, and the rush is getting worse.Mokduru, who was on the loser's left, gives up his government post under the pretext of illness, and Baekgo (the 8th King Sindae), the half-brother of Suseong, visits Suseong to strongly dissuade him. In March A.D. 138, Baekgo risked his life to his older brother Suseong and strongly protested against the overthrow of the throne. Mercury was angry at the words of the white tiger and appeared in a hurry to justify his extortion of the throne. Tezo learned of the seriousness of the situation, made excuses for his dream, and called in his guards. The guards become aware of King Taejo's intentions.I am relieved by Woobo's words in his clothes. However, from the perspective of Mercury, King Taejo noticed it, so it became urgent, and he hurried to move on. In the process, when one of Mercury's subordinates expressed his opposition to the pros and cons, he was executed. Woobo Ko Bok-jang, who noticed Suseong's reverse mother plan, informs Taejo of the fact, but Taejo expressed his intention to ascend the throne to Suseong, who had contributed so far. (King Taejo, who had been called a tiger, must not have endured the age of 100.)I think King Taejo expressed his will for both sides because he knows that he cannot stop it because all power was concentrated on Suseong. December 146...Taejo calls Mercury and delivers Yangwisa. King Taejo ascended the throne to Suseong, stepped down as King Sang, and stayed at Byeolgung Palace. Finally, Mercury became the seventh king through the form of Yangwi.It happened when he was 76 years old. After King Cha's ascension, Goguryeo's royal court was engulfed by blood winds. Place your aides in key positions, remove opposition, and relentlessly kill the royal family, which is a stumbling block. King Cha's purge of blood monopolized power and continued tyranny. In February 147, two months after his throne, his closest aide, Guanabu Wu Tae-mi, was upgraded to a loser, and in March, his static old ranch was executed. When Ko Bok-jang died, Mokdoru, who was on the left, offered up his government post and expressed his intention to retire.However, he is well-known as a reputable official who is revered by many people, so the court officials actively oppose him. He resigned, saying, "Suseong is Oltakuna." (He would have given severance pay, but...) He sat one of his closest aides, Eo Ji-ryu, raised Yangshin from Joui to Wootae, and sacrificed to the mid- to external godfather. In this way, the key posts of the court were filled with aides to the second king. King Cha, who succeeded in controlling the government through the politics of his close aides, established a self-reliance system. His atrocities were enough to kill King Taejo's prince, Makgeun... (I think he judged that if the prince was alive, he would continue to seek reverse hair under the pretext of that.)When Prince Makgeun was killed by an assassin, Makdeok took his own life when King Taejo gave it to him. His atrocities are not over here.It continues... On the hunting ground, they sometimes kill Samu (a person who sees heaven and earth while practicing the king) with a knife. And let the tyrant's trademark, "If it's sweet, swallow it, and if it's bitter, spit it out!" When he likes gabbing and hates right words, no one speaks straight. (First of all, they have to live!) The more so, the more ferocious King Cha became, and the more annoying people were relentlessly...Because of that, I couldn't record what happened at that time. However, people at the time expressed King Cha's tyranny in comparison to natural phenomena. In the summer of June 8, frost fell. In December of the competition, there was a thunderstorm and an earthquake, and on the last day, Gaeseong committed the moon. //0// (Hot~) In February 2013, a comet appeared in the Big Head. In May of summer, there was a solar eclipse in Gapsul on the eve. There was a solar eclipse on New Year's Eve in the spring of 2020. When the press was completely blocked by King Cha's tyranny, the people expressed the gloomy situation of the time by comparing it to a natural phenomenon. At the age of 119, King Taejo, who was recuperating in a separate palace due to old age, died at the age of 119.It was in March 165 of that year.It was the bitter end of King Taejo, who was called a tiger. At that time, the people suffered from hunger and school administration due to King Cha's incense, and the officials could not escape the swamp of corruption. Runa... Finally...He's coming forward. He's coming...Bam bam bam~ Our hero Myungrim dapbam! Take the lead in Yeonna Bujo's Myeonglim Dapbu and try King Cha. It is said that close aides of King Cha also participated in this political crisis.I can't imagine how much his tyranny was...;; Like King Mobon, King Cha only plays a role in shining King Taejo more and turns his back on the world. Mercury ascended to the throne at the age of 76.There's not much time left to buy it.I think his desire for power is enormous. The desire for power seems to have nothing to do with age.
