"Let's free Seokguram from the specter of the nation, people and people".

 <Reporter's Notebook> There is a nationalistic ghost (Seoul=Yonhap News) Kim Tae-sik = a huge ghost surrounding Seokguram. This is the specter of nationalism in which nationalism and nationalism are united. Koreans start and end the day with Seokguram Hermitage. The TV, which marks the beginning and end of the day, plays the solemn national anthem and does not leave Seokguram out as the background. No one doubts that Seokguram Hermitage is one of the great cultural heritages. However, these questions should be asked here. Now it is time to look back on who made Seokguram the "greatest cultural heritage of the Korean people for half a thousand years" and what they did so for. Why is this ruminating process necessary? A series of debates over Seokguram Hermitage, such as the controversy over how many guardian statues of the current Seokguram Hermitage were originally restored, are closely related to nationalism. In addition, the construction of the Seokguram Model Exhibition Hall has recently been raised. Gyeongju City and Bulguksa Temple decided to set up a model exhibition hall for Seokguram Hermitage, and some are moving against it for reasons such as environmental destruction. The Cultural Heritage Administration, which is in a dilemma, seems to be in a dilemma. Despite passing the Cultural Heritage Committee and allocating the national budget, the project itself is being reviewed. In short, at the bottom of these various debates and controversies over Seokguram Hermitage, there is always criticism that "can the greatest heritage of the Korean people be neglected or destroyed like this?" The two equations for Seokguram derived from almost all writings written by Buddhist art historians, including Korean history textbooks and Korean history theology, are "Silla's Protective and Royal Temple." It is a phrase selected from an article written by a very famous Buddhist historian in Korea. King Munmu, who achieved the unification of the three kingdoms and had a strong anti-Japanese spirit, cursed the Japanese who always plundered peaceful Silla and said, "If I die, I will become a guardian dragon of the East Sea and defeat the Japanese enemy. He was a great man like the embodiment of patriotism who died, leaving a will to bury my bones in the East Sea. In support of King Munmu's extreme will, the Silla people built large temples such as Gamunsa Temple and Seokbulsa Temple (=Seokguram) around the tomb of King Munmu and used the power of King Munmu and the power of Buddhism to defeat Japanese invaders who always infiltrated the sea. Now Seokguram Hermitage was a national temple with the wishes of the Silla people, so the sincerity of Silla artists in this temple and statue sculpture was such a desperate prayer. "What is the anti-Japanese spirit in the Silla period 1,300 years ago, and what is the prince's patriotism?" Also, what is based on the word "national temple" where Seokguram Hermitage is permeated with the wishes of the Silla people? It is not only this late Buddhist historian who evaluates Seokguram in this way. In any case, we can see at once that Seokguram Hermitage, which they are trying to say, is not actually Seokguram Hermitage of the Silla Dynasty, and it is not a temple of one individual named Kim Dae-seong. Seokguram Hermitage, which they refer to, is only a symbol of national nationalism that was born in modern times. In short, Seokguram was only a shell, and academia created the ideology of the modern national state of the nation, people, and people through the ring of Seokguram. In this respect, it should be remembered that the most decisive time when Seokguram Hermitage was established as the greatest cultural heritage of the Korean people and a Buddhist relic representing the spirit of protecting Silla was during the Park Chung-hee Yushin regime. At this time, the slogan "Let's achieve national unity by imitating Hwarang's spirit of patriotic martyrs to revive national identity and achieve modernization of our country" wrapped around Korean society like a fever. Not only during the Park Chung-hee era, but also during the dictatorship before and after that, individuals, human rights, and freedom were suffocated by the slogan "all, national interests, and obligations." This totalitarian ideology not only wiped out individuals, human rights, and freedom, but also weighed down cultural heritages such as Seokguram. Seokguram Hermitage is a national defense.There is no evidence that it is a royal temple. Seokguram Hermitage was a personal temple of Kim Dae-sung and has nothing to do with patriotism. We also have no way of knowing what the original shape of Seokguram Rock was like. It is only a comedy to argue that the original form of Seokguram was like this based on the fact that it was only taken in the early 20th century or found some pictures or drawings. Seokguram Hermitage was first built 1,300 years ago. It is not enough to say that it is different or different from the original without discussing which point in this long history to use as the original form of Seokguram. Seokguram Rock, which appeared in pictures or drawings of the early 20th century, is only Seokguram Rock of the early 20th century, and it is a delusion if you think it is the prototype of Seokguram Rock of the Silla Dynasty. The absolute principle of preserving cultural heritage is to prevent more destruction and destruction than it is now, not to forcefully create and sew an immaterial prototype. Moreover, forcing out an ideology that does not exist is also of no use to its cultural heritage. It is time to free Seokguram from the specter of the nation, people, and people. taeshik@yna.co.kr

Minister Kim Geun-tae said, "Kojong should have committed suicide..."

 When Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 was signed, I shouted, "Chosun's national mother... No, Jiabidua!" and committed suicide? Even if Joseon's national power was so weak, Koreans would have shed more blood... ...but Japan needed Joseon to join the imperialist powers for national security... ...China was weak... ...or Western powers could not speak like Russia, which pushed Japan like the U. Of course, there is room for the U.S.-British intervention by the shocked Western media, but it is difficult to break Japan's desperate will to possess Joseon... Even if the entire nation is brought up in a small country like China, support from outside powers is essential. In the end, about 300,000 people will die in Japan's devastation operation... ...all Korean farmers. Still, in this case, it will result in the announcement to all sides that our people's will for independence is firm. Japan will also try to please Koreans during its reign. In our history, sovereignty was transferred only during the Japanese colonial period... ...and we acknowledge the theory that the Korean Fourth Army ruled North Korea. Still, only North Korea exists, and the rest of Manchuria and South Korea's tribal countries exist. In Mongolia, independence was recognized. Although Pyeongan and Hamgyeong were also taken from Jeju Island, and the king became the royal horse of the Mongolian emperor, who used Chungja. Considering the shock, King Gojong, the last king (like the last two kings of the Goryeo Dynasty or the wealth of the Manchukuo), who is the first foreigner in our nation's history to rule. Even so, Gojong is also a human being, but I think it's too much to tell him to die. He was a scarecrow in Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905, but he turned it into The Hague. Thanks to this, I was replaced by obedience. For reference, King Gojong, who abdicated in 1907 (a scarecrow after Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 in 1905), died in 1919, King Sunjong briefly reigned for three years, then resigned in 1910, the annexation of Korea, and died in 1926. Definitely tackle... ...Bonhae Minbi is a killer, but Daewongun and Gojong seem to have done enough. Of course, it's not as a hero, just as a normal person. Times called for a hero........................................? ======================================================== Perm engineer. Minister Kim Geun-tae said, "Emperor Gojong should have committed suicide." [OH MY NEWS 2005-03-22 13:56] "This year marks the 100th anniversary of Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905." We are paying a huge price so far because the leadership at that time was not more determined. All the ministers, including Emperor Gojong, should have died fighting, or should have resisted the humiliating situation, even if they had committed suicide." This is what Health and Welfare Minister Kim Geun-tae said on his website (www.gt21.or.kr) "Kim Geun-tae's Sunday Letter" on the 21st about the Dokdo issue, which has recently caused a stir. Minister Kim said, "The concept of 'passive defense' in the sovereignty issue does not hold," adding, "The leaders of our society, including myself, who is the minister, must put everything on the line and defend it." The Dokdo issue should also be approached from this perspective." At the same time, Minister Kim said in a letter that he could not agree to Japan's recent bid to become a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council. "It's because of the 'far-right tendency' that is sweeping the Japanese archipelago," he explained, adding, "The current situation in Japan is abnormal, which is unreasonable and does not hesitate to teach distorted history to descendants." Minister Kim also raised questions about Japan's recent stance toward North Korea. He expressed his feelings when he visited Japan last year, saying, "I'm worried that Japan's attitude toward North Korea is too exaggerated." Minister Kim said, "I felt that the leaders of Japanese society were pushing North Korea with some intention," adding, "In fact, North Korea is no longer Japan's rival." We couldn't get rid of our doubts that we might use North Korea as we did in the past to reverse the gloomy social atmosphere that they themselves call the "lost decade."

Why didn't the Geum Dynasty and Goryeo play?

 Goryeo fought three all-out wars against the Jordan of the Khitan people (at this time, Yonara was practically an all-out war).King Seongjong of the Liao Dynasty even went to his parents' home, and Buksongwa had to subjugate the Song Dynasty, so he didn't have to worry much about the dangers in the rear. Later, he fought decades of war with the Mongolians, but why did he bow his head? No matter how powerful Lee Ja-gyeom is in Goryeo, it is said that Lee Ja-gyeom was enlisted in the Geum Dynasty to maintain power, but the explanation is not sure. In any case, after 10 years of its founding, the Geum Dynasty defeated the then-East Asian military power, Yonara, and expelled North Song, an economic powerhouse, into Gangnam in two years. What's interesting is that the Yeojin people's Geum Dynasty and Goryeo, who once regarded Goryeo as their parents' country, are brothers and later pressuring Goryeo with military relations. This is the same pattern for the Manchurians, descendants of the Yeojin 500 years later. After Jeong Myohoran, Joseon was the blind of brothers >> After Byeongja Horan, as the blind of military gods... What is mysterious is that Kim Boo-sik, who is accused of being a four-generationist and pro-Chinese, has not even been properly enlightened in this kind of gold country. At that time, even if North Song collapsed in 1127 and South Song was founded, the rule of the Geum Dynasty would not have been perfect until the 1140s due to the strong resistance of the Han people represented by Akbi, but it is a little strange that Goryeo rejected Song Dynasty's request for military assistance. When Yonara was about to collapse to the Geum Dynasty, she asked for military assistance (at this time Goryeo was writing the chronology of Yonara, so it can be said that Yonara was the country of origin(?), but I can accept it if she fought a war and said it was a barbarian country... #In any case, it was clear that Goryeo was a very different country from Joseon. Seo Geung's Goryeo Dogyeong also showed a more colorful (?) cultural level than Joseon, and King Goryeo wore Hwangryongpo, the emperor's clothes, and wrote a 12-sided scroll... What is certain is that the Song Dynasty of the Liaoning Dynasty rejected the request for military aid, which was very different from the Joseon Dynasty and Qing Dynasty's request to Ming Dynasty. Of course, during the One Gap Seop period, it was reduced, which was taken away by the Japanese expedition.- Anyway, it's a bit of a mystery that I spent more than 100 years without any dispute with the Golden Kingdom.

Rock-paper-scissors game (in modern warfare)

 Roughly, before the 16th century, armies using certain absolute tactics and weapons often occupied the strongest positions.  For example, knights originating from the Assyrian tank forces, the Greek and Roman lieutenant general infantry, the Huns' cavalry, and the Germanic heavy cavalry... The case of the Orient is not so different. It's just that we developed cavalry tactics a little earlier and the cavalry took the strongest position for a longer time... but after the Knights of the Bad States were sighted by the Longbowmen of Yeonggili in Azzancourt, some absolute power disappeared in track and field.This phenomenon seems to be solidified by cannons and hwaseungchongs developed afterwards, and one of the songs I learned at Sunday school a long time ago was this. "I'm a forward infantryman. It's a gunner. Horseback riding is a cavalryman...I think that's because the modern war, or the 16th to 19th centuries, had developed evenly among these three types of soldiers and soldiers, for example, the greatest cavalry in the Middle Ages no longer had the absolute power to feed infantry.As shown in Kagemusha, Japanese heavy-duty soldiers were completely destroyed by a squadron of farmers... The same was true of the West. I had to make a bold charge, but before I could reach the enemy camp, I broke into a long bow or crossbow... I haven't played at all since the spread of firearms and muskets. Are infantry absolutely strong? It wasn't. The infantry was the artillery's First, in order for infantry to create a powerful fire net at that time, they set up traditional dustproofs, fire in the front row in dense situations, and load in the back row... After the launch, the back row goes forward... It's powerful if you move forward like this... Isn't it a structure where the infantry coming in line with each other is just like a cannonball? That's why Napoleon, who excelled in artillery operations, won Europe... But what's unique is... The artillery was no match for the cavalry. In particular, the soldiers, who rushed quickly into irregular and loose formation in a large space, especially the spear cavalry, were the targets of fear. First of all, the artillery must be gathered together to sweep them. I have to move slowly to aim... In a space where a thousand infantrymen could walk for a minute (at least 30 or 40 men could be caught if a few shells had been dropped...), a cavalryman could have only one or two horses whizzing through in ten seconds...   It's hard to aim and it's hard to catch a few people even if you aim. So the cavalry was Bob to the infantry, and the infantry to the artillery, and again to the cavalry... That's why each country developed three departments evenly... The world is changing and the scale of the war is growing, and now artillery plays an old infantry role in destroying short-range enemies, and cavalry plays the role of armored cavalry, air force, air force, combat helicopter... Ground-to-ground missiles and air forces took over the role of artillery. Perhaps the war of the 21st century can be as powerful as the modern war, in which artillery, cavalry, and infantry have a powerful effect when harmonious. It is said that Korean artillery is powerful enough to fight the strongest in the world, but... The role of artillery is now only to play the role of infantry in the modern era of fighting on the front lines... It seems that the role of artillery in the old days to strike the enemy's last hearts is played by air force and ground/fleet missiles... In reality, our power is very weak... Isn't it too much to feel the anxiety of the 17th century army going to war with only cavalry and infantry reporters?

How much influence did tactics/strategies have on the war?

 Most of the haters often weigh their military strength by the amount of military training and military discipline.However, the most important things in war are tactics and strategies.Among them, there are many people who overlook organization, command, and military discipline. The biggest reason why Rome became a power was its flexibility.We used to change weapons, tactics and organization as needed.Rome took advantage of the characteristics of the battlefield and their strengths very well.In order to break down the initial dense formation and launch a siege, the forces were divided into medium-sized groups and the resulting command and discipline system was established.After that, when a dense formation was needed, the organization was revised and divided into a larger scale.Since then, as defensive strategies are needed and military discipline and loyalty gradually decrease, they hire mercenaries, build generals, and turn to conciliate the enemy. On the other hand, Roman enemies were not.The Gauls, who were used to local warfare and difficulties rather than competition using dense formation, were of course no match for the competition.Similarly, Persia, accustomed to battles through bravery and powerful equipment, did not show much power in a head-on confrontation with Rome, armed with unity and strength. Another example is Mongolia.Mongolia has the best organization and combination for rotation.However, as the battlefield changed and the siege was mainly carried out, changes were made, such as putting the indigenous people on the floor and incorporating engineers.It continues to show strong power.The Franks also fought a charge and a turbulent battle, and they won the battle with heavy-armed infantry against powerful cavalry such as Sogoth and Saracen. The same was true of the Korean dynasties.Based on the characteristics of the terrain, tactics and strategies suitable for Mercury warfare rather than rotation were developed, the fortress was remodeled to be suitable for defense, and the soldiers were fostered to hit the rear while the fortress was defending, and the bow needed for the sit-in was focused.However, Tangeumdae Terrace and Geunwanggun Battle went on a head-to-head turn with troops and generals familiar with tactics and strategies suitable for Suseong War, and the result was a disastrous defeat. Putting these aspects together, the most important thing in tactics and strategies is also Zippigi.If you know whether the enemy is strong in rotation, in sit-in, in dense formation, in battle, in maneuver, or in defense, and know what kind of battle our troops are capable of, you will be able to defeat them with a great deal of confusion.

Park Jeonghee, a miscellaneous prize for the U.S.

 First of all, let me tell you about Park Chung-hee.(In the category of human history!!, modern Korean history...) Criticism of Park Chung-hee was a criticism of his presidential days even though I only did it when I was young. But these days, many people say that Park Jung-hee is pro-Japanese group and sold the nation. Well, I don't want to defend Park Chung-hee. To put my position on it simply, I am not a dictator with a very strong nationalistic tendency who has led economic growth fairly harshly and efficiently, nor a leader of the nation. If you are really the leader of the nation, you should be able to persuade and embrace all the groups that oppose the construction of Pochul. And it's not a very good position to see what he did during the Japanese colonial period. However, I think the current position is wrong. Why did he quit being a teacher and apply for Manchuria Military Academy? According to "Park Jung-hee, a Silok soldier," (I personally think it was written from a fairly objective perspective about Park Jung-hee), the reason he entered Manchuria Military Academy was because of his pursuit of power and power. This is said to be due to the backlash against being treated as a problem child during his school days (because he was quite liberal about teachers and principals).In the end, he came to his hometown during the vacation of the military academy and knelt down all the teachers at that time (because it was a militaristic period...) A person named Park Jeong-hee pursued power all his life. In the end, you achieved it, and you were president until you died, right? In the end, Park Chung-hee is a very opportunistic person. However, I don't think he should be convicted because he is pro-Japanese group. Opportunists exist in any society. It cannot be said that there are "hun-gu" forces in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty who want to hold power without making efforts on their own, and there are no opportunists in today's Republic of Korea. However, Park Jeong-hee lived during the Japanese colonial period.  At that time, the group that exercised practical control over Joseon was the Japanese government. Where Park Jung-hee approached is a clear fact. In any society, opportunists are the ones who rust the system of society. I agree that they should be punished. Should he be punished for being anti-ethnic? He was an opportunist who lived in Japanese colonial era. Should he be punished because he is anti-ethnic? In today's extremely prevalent values of ethnicity, anti-ethnic opportunists should be criticized and opportunists advocating ethnicity may be okay. "My opinion: When one ideology is transformed into an ultimate ideology that transcends everything else, the society flows in an abnormal direction." And it is also false to say that Park Jung-hee captured the Independence Army. According to the book mentioned above, Park Chung-hee was an internal worker, but there was no case of directing troops from outside. The book is suspicious? The author of the book is the editor of Oh My News. It's Oh! My! Isn't it a sure guarantee check? It's not the Chosun Ilbo, but the editor-in-chief of Oh My News. Isn't it so reliable? Next is the United States. The relationship between the United States and South Korea seems to be deteriorating very much over North Korea. As of today, I went to the system club to see what Ji and his followers were saying, and I found out that it was quite shocking. http://www.systemclub.co.kr/bbs/zb4pl5/view.php?id=new_jee&no=1940 The writer's tone is very -beep! -but just ignore everything and scroll until you get an American. Henry Hyde, chairman of the International Relations Committee, said, "Who is the main enemy of Korea?" I have to be clear. Is the main enemy of Korea the United States? "Is it North Korea? And now we have to reconsider economic aid to North Korea." No matter how Republican the Republican Party is, shouldn't I say that the Korea-U.S. relationship is at a risk level? Am I scared by a simple word? It is only natural that diplomacy should be approached armed with thorough pragmatism. I hope that Korea will also have a sneaky diplomat like Jang Eui in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. In the field of defense and security, there is a huge difference between experts and non-experts, but how distorted is the thinking system of those who are calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Korea?

Personal opinion of members of the historical club - Why the Japanese army failed to attack the Joseon naval forces on land during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592.

 If you look at the situation at the time, you can understand it at a level of common sense, not even a mystery. There are three main ways for the Japanese to attack the Joseon naval forces on land. The first is how the Japanese attack the main fortress of the Joseon navy on land. In the case of Gyeongsang left and right swimming, in fact, it was not without possibility because it was occupied by the Japanese army. By the way, in order to attack the main forces of the left and right naval forces of Jeolla-do, which were the actual main forces of the Joseon fleet, the Japanese must enter the Jeolla-do area...As you know, this is an impossible plan because the Joseon Army failed to enter the Jeolla-do region. The second one is...How to attack the Joseon Navy on the coast of Gyeongsang-do, which became the main battlefield of the naval battle. How to attack the Joseon Navy while chasing the Joseon Navy on land... I think this is practically impossible. As other people said, the lack of long-range attack weapons such as cannons could be one reason. However, even if you have a large number of cannons, considering the mobility of the cannons at that time, it would be comedy for the Japanese to chase and attack the Joseon naval fleet traveling on the sea...--;;; Third, how to build fortresses and attack Joseon naval forces in each coastal area. In fact, this was Japan's response strategy...In order for the Japanese to attack the Joseon navy, the Joseon navy must attack the Japanese fortress... Yi Sun-shin believes that it is virtually impossible to attack Japanese troops confined to the fortress after the 4th year of the lunar calendar, and if the army attacks the inland enemies, it will only be possible after the enemy is driven out of the sea. Admiral Yi Sun-shin is the type of person who only tries to compete on the sea. In other words, even if the Japanese want to attack, they can't meet the Joseon naval forces they want to attack.
