Dining and binge drinking - Korean eating habits seen by French missionaries in the mid-19th century

 Bishop Davidouy (France) ordained between March 7, 1866 and March 30, 1841. He entered Korea in October 1845. On March 25, 1857, he was appointed as an assistant bishop and held a sexual ceremony, and on March 7, 1866, he succeeded to the position of parish chief, but was soon arrested and martyred at Galmaemot Pond in Boryeong, Chungcheong-do, on March 30. He was canonized by Pope John Paul II on May 6, 1984.While working in Joseon, he made great achievements by collecting martyrdom data and describing the history of the Catholic Church in Korea. Koreans are big eaters with coarse greed and appetite. Usually, their way of eating shows this well, but above all, they need to be looked at carefully. In this respect, there is no distinction between a minister and a commoner. Eating a lot is an honor, and quantity is more important than quality. Koreans rarely speak during meals. It takes very little time to eat and doesn't chat. It seems to be trying to give momentum to the child's stomach from an early age. Many mothers watch their children sit on their knees and stuff themselves with rice. Sometimes, he pats the child on the stomach with a spoon and stops feeding him with rain when he is full. This is similar to European ball players tightening the ball until their fingers don't fit.  The typical amount of food for workers is a liter of rice, which fills a very large bowl. It is not enough for each person to eat one bowl and is ready to continue eating. Many people easily eat more than two or three servings. One of us Catholics is about 30 to 45 years old, and he ate up to seven servings in some bet. This is not calculated the number of bowls of makgeolli he drank.  Some people aged 64 to 65 said they had no appetite, but emptied five bowls. When you can handle 10 bowls, you say it's business.   No one is afraid of a plate full of meat if beef is provided to their heart's content because they have to catch cows. When serving fruits, for example, when serving large peaches, the most restrained people also eat about 10 and often 30, 40, or 50. When eating oriental melons, they usually eat about 10, but sometimes they eat 20 or 30 of them.     When you have to treat someone well, serve a whole chicken. No one is afraid of it, and needless to say, each eats it up. Cut beef and dog meat into large pieces and serve them as much as you want. Only then do people think that they ate meat. Especially, gopchang and fish are dishes that many people like. However, Koreans rarely put it on the table, and they eat it as soon as they see it. This is because Koreans do not know how to control themselves. In addition, there is no stock of food in the houses of the Joseon people, and they eat it as soon as they get them. Of course, there is a reason for this. There is no cupboard or food storage, so food cannot be stored. Moreover, the climate in this country is so humid that food quickly decays. 

 Raw meat is eaten with red pepper paste or mustard, but sometimes eaten as it is. I have seen leisurely aristocrats go to the river with a red pepper paste complex and fishing tools. You can see them catching small fish and dipping it in the red pepper paste they prepared and eating it as it is. They say this is delicious. It's nothing to argue about taste or taste. Although Koreans are big eaters, they cannot always eat that much. Because I don't have anything. However, it is clear that gluttony is one of the evils of Koreans.   And the same is true of drinking to the point where you get drunk. The king and the court of honor openly drink heavily. When I get drunk, I lose my mind and roll over on the floor or sleep to sober up. Still, no one is surprised or displeased, and they leave them to rest alone. In our eyes, this is a great depravity. But people in this country don't think so. It's a custom, so it's allowed, and it's What would you say about this? *** Excerpt from the warfog.net bulletin board *** This is a bulletin board for appreciation and discussion of the Imjin War (collaborated by Kim Kyung-jin, Ahn Byung-do, and Yoon Min-hyuk). We welcome the participation of the pro-Gyun nerds in the discussion. -_-+ You are not allowed to ask questions about what will come up next. In Volume 3, Kim Hyo-eui went to Namwon...    I'm a little curious about the fact that I ate all seven hops assigned for one meal, drank beef bone soup, and ate seven hops of rice in the morning of the next day. Seven-hops means 0.7 tbh of rice, doesn't it? Or was the metrology different at the time? In my experience of living alone, more than a bowl of rice comes out wide with more than one bowl of rice --; If it's 7 bowls of rice and a few bowls of soup, I think it's in line with the story of jokingly boiling 10 ramen and eating it in soup. ^^ There are some excuses that flour food is not persistent as I tripped over the threshold while eating 10 jajangmyeon at a Chinese restaurant. ^^Gurum is as big as this big. At that time, the quantity of adult men in Joseon was that much... As time went by, the industrial structure changed, and people's habits changed, the amount of food gradually decreased... I'm not kidding. If you go to museums and look at old rice bowls, it's hard to tell whether this is a washbasin or a rice bowl... Paintings and photos of foreigners in various historical records and during the Korean Empire prove that fact.


Yoon Min-hyuk's rice consumption at that time is a little astral. 1. The first hop of the Joseon Dynasty is 60cc, which is less than one-third of modern times. 2. Hop 7 is 420cc, which is almost the same amount of rice that modern Koreans eat per day. 3. According to the Joseon Dynasty records, 7 hops for adults, 5 hops for adults and 5 hops for women, and 3 hops for children and men and women ate one meal. The amount of food children eat is 180cc, which is more than 120 to 150cc, the common amount of food for modern Koreans. The evidence is numerous records of rice consumption by each family since the 17th and 18th centuries, the Seongho editorial, and Heungbujeon. -_-If you ask if it may not have been different from the time of our ancestors, take an example of the excessive gluttony trend that Joseon government officials deplore whenever there is a famine. Even in 1594, when the naval forces themselves were on the verge of collapse due to severe food shortages, Yi Sun-shin reported, "If they feed less than five hops of rice a day, they will not be able to supply food after a few months." -_-Round and round. Wow.But you really eat a lot. The amount of food you eat a day for a meal -- indeed, it may be because you exercise more than modern people. Thank you for your reply. Instead of Ju Daesung, ordinary people don't have any side dishes...I heard that you just ate simple side dishes that you can pass on the rice deliciously. I once did a detailed documentary on TV. The picture comes out, and really, it's a big bowl of rice -_- This bowl was bigger than the rice bowl;; Instead of Yoon Min-hyuk, it's usually two meals a day. Noblemen eat five meals a day. -_-; You're not eating the same amount for 5 meals, are you?^^;; Are you going to divide the same amount into five times? Does five hops of rice a day mean the consumption per meal or literally the entire daily consumption? Aren't two or three out of five meals a day snacks like porridge or noodles? I heard that the king's meal was like that. In the case of commoner Yoon Min-hyuk, he eats two meals with 14 hops of rice a day. Porridge and noodles are served at night, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner are quite nice separately. Even in this case, rice is based on five to seven hops. -_-; I don't eat a lot because I can only eat rice, but I literally eat like crazy. -_-; The expression that the table is broken at the feast makes sense. -_-; At the time, it was difficult to eat meat unless you were a nobleman, so you covered nutrition with the amount of rice. Unlike wheat, the strength of rice is that it has more ingredients necessary for the human body, such as protein, in addition to carbohydrates, so it can produce more calories than bread intake. You have to eat it with milk and meat instead of bread, but you don't have to peel that much rice.What's the point of commissioners sighing because they're eating too much? I can't even supply meat properly...    We need to provide evidence that Yoon Min-hyuk's meat diet is difficult. In addition to grain as a staple food, Koreans consume more food than they think. Nevertheless, Joseon farmers eat almost three times more than Japanese farmers, who had a similar standard of living as ours. Because of that, the story of the Joseon Army's Tambo-gun officer complaining that it would be difficult to recapture Seoul is also included in the Annals. -_-; Yoon Min-hyuk doesn't know that mixed grains are precious, and there's a reason why the government officials are trying to eat rice. (I gave a wrong example when I first introduced such a case, but it's more about the trend of not sighing but not eating mixed grains. -_-;) Seeds... In addition to the absolute lack of food production... Isn't the eating habit and the huge eating habit one by one also responsible for it? That's too much, isn't it? It's a huge binge eating habit. I don't know if I should laugh or cry. ^^; Since Euiwa is restricted in food, clothing, and shelter, I think that if surplus income is generated, it will be the result of concentration on food, clothing and shelter. Because commerce is not developed, I can't sell it, and if I have it, I'm afraid it'll be a target of taxation. Let's just eat it when it's there.I don't think so... --; In the early Joseon Dynasty, Park Dong-soo's productivity was supported enough to satisfy its macrophage. I read a book called "The Back Scenery of Joseon," and there was this phrase, "There are 100 cows caught a day in downtown Hanyang in the early Joseon Dynasty, and only rice grains are white islands that go into making soju a day," but I'm not sure the figure is correct -_-;... "Anyway, I'm sure it was a great amount." I don't know what it's like to be in another country of the same time. Isn't it also because of the climate that Park Jae-seok's productivity is supported?

There was not long ago, according to a study that Europe had a good crop at the same time, and the average size of Europeans at that time was not much different from that of Europeans now. Yoon Min-hyuk, to be exact, was able to do the "GR" because Joseon became productive. -_-;; Koreans ate a lot of meat, and rice was eaten to the bone. It's natural to eat it because it's done, and it's not a flaw. However, it is difficult to ignore all of that and say, "We are doomed because we are poor." I don't know if I point out the category of poverty properly, but if not, we will at least stop and stop it by saying that we have never been hungry. The fundamental problem was in the 15th and 17th centuries. Rice production in Joseon remains the same in the 19th century. Even now, the intensity of agricultural productivity has been tripled, but compared to the entire Joseon Dynasty and the current Korean Peninsula in terms of cultivated area, the current agricultural production may be smaller than that of Joseon. -_- Raja Min Hyuk-sama// In the 15th and 17th centuries, which was a fundamental problem. It's reasonable to say it's the early Joseon Dynasty. Isn't that when rice production was rather high? ID Yoon Minhyuk Lazar. Absolute rice production is dominant after the 18th century, and the 15th and 17th centuries are not the problem of rice production, but the time when the country of Joseon retreated capitalistically.    Source: http://www.whitedeath.pe.kr Written by Yoon Min-hyuk: Food situation in Joseon. ^^It is highly likely that Joseon had nothing to eat. ^^ There is no other reason why grain and vegetables are expensive in Joseon. This is due to a lack of distribution networks. Grain is not very expensive in the production area. To be exact, all the workers (Farmer. whether self-employed or tenant) received the wages as grain. Rice prices soared mainly in spring. It is also mainly about the metropolitan area and densely populated areas. Merchants shop for rice and sell it when it becomes expensive. It was the same with the landowners... As a result, it has been repeated from time to time that the song price has soared and plunged. Also, in the case of vegetables, the problem is that the distribution network was insufficient when there were not many places to grow them. In fact, rice can be sold at a high price by farming in Joseon, so in the late Joseon Dynasty, there were even practical scholars lamenting that all farmers were only trying to farm rice. In the end, large cities have created their own vegetable cultivation areas for consumers, which is virtually the same as the agricultural distribution learned in middle and high school social classes these days. In the case of fat, it was expensive to buy more vegetables because they were growing their own food. Spices such as peppers were especially expensive. So, even though it was in the 18th century that peppers began to be cultivated in large quantities in the Joseon Dynasty, until the 19th century, the main types of kimchi in Joseon were actually white kimchi and salty fish. -_-; (It was in the 18th century that red pepper paste was created, but it was not until the 20th century that it was distributed in large quantities. --;;) Rather, it is good to raise and eat meat, but it was not so difficult to take living things and slaughter and sell them. The poor distribution of vegetables did not produce more than local consumption units in the first place, and it was difficult to distribute them due to freshness problems, whereas meat was not necessarily so. ^^ (Actually, the reason why I didn't eat milk and eggs well in Joseon was that it wasn't something that could be transported alive.) ^^) Perhaps that's why Koreans were able to buy and eat meat relatively easily. If you're a vegetarian, "Meat? "Precious food!" said the elderly these days are not eager to feed their children meat. It would be right to say that meat was recognized as a precious food as it became difficult to eat meat after eating it well. In fact, there is no other way to distinguish between people who eat meat well and people who do not eat meat well, but how detailed the distinction between meat parts is. This means that they have a huge amount of experimental data (^^;) on the slaughter of animals and the taste of their meat. And as far as I remember, Korea is the country that categorizes meat in the world in detail. ^^ About 140 kinds? I distinguish meat in considerable detail. The next most common thing is Argentina. There are only about 40 species, but in a way, it would be nonsense to say that Koreans have not eaten a lot of meat just by looking at this. Some people say it's because of court cuisine, but in that case, European countries have a much better variety of court cuisine. -_-; Dozens of countries have different traditional menus, and they have changed and changed as they interacted a lot. Nevertheless, the distinction between meat and the variety of meat dishes themselves are inferior to ours.

Greek fire

 Watching Greece's fire heat up the reverse galley for a few days... To be exact, I was busy watching the wild herbivores of low-powered little masters, watching the tedious battle over whether or not anyone saw the fire of Greece as the origin of gunpowder.As I read it... I felt that there were surprisingly some young people who didn't know what Greek fire was like. Of the people at the heart of the argument. So I'll call Mr. Ham. Of course, I'm afraid we don't even know what Greek fire is! You don't have to read any more Haedeul who thinks it's a pathetic article that ignores the level of reverse Galhaedeul. Surprisingly, one of Yeokgal's masters did not know what substances went into the bronze sword because he hit the back of his head. Fire of Greece 1. Solid form - A flame weapon made in Greece in 400 B.C. that is a mixture of pine sawdust mixed with pine sawdust in oil made in the shape of resin, sulfur, and grains...If you load it into the catapult and fire it, it will fly and spark in all directions... In the mid-7th century, 1,000 years after the Greek fire in liquid form, solid form, the firearms developed by the Byzantine Empire were loaded into catapult and fired, so the range was long and useful on land warfare, but the accuracy dropped significantly.Developed weapons similar to Greek fire... It smells black and bad, called petroleum, but it is a mixture of lime and gallium phosphate made by mixing bones and urine in a fire-prone substance. If you pump it in the zone through a hose, spray it on the red ship, and pull the fire...The enemy ship is engulfed in flames... This is also called the Greek fire... It is difficult to say that it is an object of the same composition or form, but some people just call it Greek fire and Greek gunpowder. In conclusion, there are two types, liquid and solid, not one type of Greek fire. Here, there are some abusers who call solid objects the origin of gunpowder, so there are people like that... Lalala Hath is right to say that there are... Of course, saying that Greek fire is like gunpowder is nonsense from white supremacists who claim that Sinner and gasoline are nitroglycerin-like substances and appearances are nonsense.

I came up with an article describing a fight against Japanese enemies in the book.

 This is a description of what Cho Kyung-nam, who wrote this book, experienced in person.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our soldiers killed the 36th grade Japanese enemy in Gungjanghyeon. At dawn that day, he also hid his family in the forest and declared that he would destroy the Japanese enemy with several servants, and there were about 20 people who wanted to follow him. Seondal Kim Wan was a Yeongam man, but he passed the martial arts course and went to the camp of Go Eon-baek, a left-handed warrior in Yeongnam, and heard that Bondo was defeated, so he came out to Namwon to speak to his mother, but the road was blocked, so he couldn't reach each other. He got up together because he was happy that I was overthrowing the Japanese enemy, and Jeong Sa-yeon followed me as a scholar who was Ganggae, and there were 28 people along with Park Eon-ryang. Starting from Songnim, he climbed Bangambong Peak above Yocheon Stream and hid, and found that about 50 hideous enemies were driving cows and horses from Imsil in 5-ri, north of Chukcheonjeong Fortress, and marched straight through Geumwoojeong and toward the lane in front of Dongdo Station. I told Kim that the Japanese enemies' movements enter Byeolungyo Bridge, so they will surely head to Musan. Gungjanghyeon is a place where you can catch Bangyeon because the road is narrow and there are many blocked places on the left and right. If you follow him now, you will be able to catch him, and if you head to Musan, you will be able to chase him and kill him in Yeowongok," and when he finished talking, the enemy soldier turned to Gungjanghyeon. I ran and promised, saying, "The army is in the right place, not in the right place." If you meet your enemies and retreat, and let them take advantage of the situation, many things are more harmful. If any of you have a fear of the enemy, please step back now." So, seven or eight of you listened to him and stepped down. There were only dozens of people, but only four of them had a palace, Kim Wan, Jeong Photo, and Park Eon-ryang. All the rest of the people ran up the mountain with clubs and reached Gungjanghyeon, and the Japanese enemy had already passed a key road. It was not my intention that we had already lost our position and had no place to use our valor, so we abandoned our enemies and returned in vain. Finally, when I pulled my bow hard and advanced, the enemy soldiers pulled out their swords and returned with guns, but they were afraid that they could not get into the situation first, so only six people followed me to die. As the fight grew in full swing, the Japanese were unable to invade the hills, and the fear of dumping from afar was eliminated because they shot and killed three or four people with guns first, but there were many enemies and we were not strong enough against each other. Even if you shoot an arrow correctly, you couldn't hit them all at once. After the five enemies, the former peak of the Japanese enemy, died on the spot, the rest of the Japanese enemy surrounded them at once, and we were in a siege net and fired them on all sides. After a fierce battle for some time, the Japanese enemy risked his life more and first hit the left-footed blowfish bone and then hit Park Eon-ryang, who blocked it with a bow and flesh, breaking the bow and avoiding death. Park Eon-ryang broke through the siege with his bare hands and went back in with an angular stick, and Jeong-gun stood firm and fired without caring for his wounds. Kim and I are also preparing for death, but unexpectedly, Kim's bow was broken again. A Japanese enemy chased Kim, and things were very urgent, so I turned around and shot him, and he died at the age of one. I pulled out the flesh and went wild, and called Park Pil-nam again to say, "Did you see the Japanese enemy who was chasing Kim rolled down at the age of one year I shot?" Park Pil-nam followed from behind and replied, "I saw it." I saw it." Park Eon-ryang urgently called Kim and said, "We were alone in the siege, but we decided to die and didn't step back, so why don't you run away and come back?" At this time, more than 15 or 6 people died of enemy soldiers, and all of them have experienced fights, so they have dared to fight. However, when the arrow fell and I hurriedly called the boundary, Park Pil-nam threw the arrow that the person who was drooping behind him had, so I kept picking up the flesh and shooting it. When the day reached Shinshi and Yushi after fighting from Qinxi, all Japanese enemies were killed, and the number was 36. The rest were all prisoners, so they returned, and they were Go Han-jeon, a Dundeokchon man in Bukbuk. The two Japanese enemies watched their luggage by the stream and ran away, but they did not know where they went when it was dark. Sitting on the top of the mountain, resting the soldiers and looking around the battlefield again, the fallen bodies were lying on each other's backs, and the fishy blood was on the point of forming a river. Soon after, the captains of the captured Japanese were divided and given to the soldiers and used as bait for the later great things. When I came back to the mountain in the middle of the night, many people comforted me and said, "Unexpectedly, there was a tree among us. If the royal court finds out this line, Chung Gap's contribution will not only monopolize beauty in Yeosil. Unlun," he said. The next morning, several people, including Kim Wan and Park Eon-ryang, cut their heads with a bow. At the time of the scuffle, everyone was wounded, and I was the only one who was left alone with an angular club, and I finally won completely, thanks to the help of my servant's great-grandson.

Personal opinion of historical club members - Kim Doo-han and Kim Jwa-jin

 Kim Doo-han is an "anti-communist fighter," and many of his so-called terrorism in the so-called "liberation space" is thought to have been cruel, ruthless, and unjustly killed. The same was true of the left, and since the left and right were in the process of fighting a war anyway... I don't think you can speak ill of soldiers who have killed many enemies in war.   However, I think the pre-liberation activities are pathetic. When I was a child, I would have used my fellow beggars as a punishment, and exploited them. He became a gangster when he became an adult and enjoyed the blood of merchants.   In addition, his relationship with the Japanese police is so good that he would not have been dragged into the draft, but it is amazing to be distorted like some "anti-Japanese fighter" or independence activist even though he took the lead in cooperation.   In short, Kim Doo-han did not "transform from an anti-Japanese collaborator to a right-wing terrorist" as distorted in dramas, but "continuously upgraded from a gangster bully to a right-wing terrorist to a politician later." [[Kim Doo-han and Kim Jwa-jin] No one knows the relationship between Kim Doo-han and Kim Jwa-jin. Maybe not only Kim Doo-han but also Kim Jwa-jin doesn't know. Kim Doohan's argument is... <One day, General Kim Jwa-jin met with his comrades on a hill near Seoul. Then, he became chased by Il-kyung, and he fled over the wall while fighting for a moment in a noble's neighborhood in Sajik-dong, which was the house of a court court court, and the court lady had a daughter. The room where General Kim Jwa-jin entered was the daughter's room. So the incident took place, and he suddenly left and said, "If you give birth to a son, you call it Duhan, and if you give birth to a daughter, you call it Duok." So he was born in the Andong Kim clan.> The first question here...They want you to believe that General Kim Jwa-jin, who I respect, went around the world and picked and ate a girl... - - Believe it or not, then I think, has araseo their decision. Kim also have the court lady who ...Court lady's daughter, mother that I don't know who. Later, father of General Kim Jwa-jin defeated Japanese colleague were reported to have visited such equivocation that the way you tell me the truth ... 10 years, he was wanted by the people pushed and ... It's like a friend telling me that a woman who met at Itaewon Night 10 years ago and counted one-night stands now gave birth to my son, and she's dead and she's being punished at Seoul Station... and she wants me to find it and tell you this... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And ... about gimduwan the Battle of Qingshanli's memoir was going on in 1920 and 1930 called his 7 years old, 1925, when General Kim Jwa-jin defeated Japanese soldiers died at age 10, 1928, which is called ... It is General Kim Jwa-jin defeated Japanese soldiers died during the colonial period already in the newspaper despite ...Kim Doo-han is liberation after the fact that the Communist Party who killed General Kim Jwa-jin defeated Japanese soldiers gave by right-wing terrorist groups back rub a set of materials and the right-wing campaign she figures claim to have ... General Kim Jwa-jin defeated Japanese soldiers died that he hadn't even know that he was right after liberation or that there is no interest in general left in which rationalization for the "It is cowardly excuse" for the Kim Doo-han's lip ... relations with Kim Jwa-jin defeated Japanese soldiers believe it or not is only -------- araseo their decision. Dool Kim Yong-ok is also a screenwriter for the movie "The Son of the General," which director Lim Kwon-taek dealt with Kim Doo-han's life, and the conclusion was made after writing the scenario "The Son of the General." He is an orphan who don't know parents who grew up in personality. A beggar named leader that he climbed down and act like a beggar to Seoul at the age of ten future and get caught by the leg under (Cheonggyecheon) and you grew up in a den. But Kim was naturally talent by excellent ssamkkun. The ssamjil is a pure experiential skill that does not learn any Japanese martial arts or traditional Korean martial arts, but Kim Doo-han's superiority in ironing than punching suggests that his ssamjil has an unconscious continuity with the traditional Korean taekkyeon. He moved.If you do that, you float as high as a person's height and yell at the other person's mouth with your foot. In other words, the process of becoming a gangster boss who won the Jongno area from a beggar under the Jangchagudari Bridge was completely unrelated to the fiction that he was Kim Jwa-jin's son, and Kim Doo-han himself could not be aware of the genealogy, and he was the loser of the fist world. Professor Han Hong-gu reported that Kim Doo-hwan is suspected of discrediting himself because he is so gullible, but Kim Jwa-jin was killed in 1930 by Dong-A Ilbo, a direct newspaper report that Kim's son lives near Seoul. Later, it was noted that an article was published about a parasite named Kim Gye-wol living in Kaesong, not Seoul, and a 12-year-old boy named Kim Doo-han living with his maternal grandmother, who is Kim Jang-gun's Seo-ja. Professor Han diagnosed that the reason why Kim Doo-han made a story that could appear in a martial arts movie and dressed up Kim Ok-kyun as a grandfather was because he wanted to hide that his mother was a parasite, and argued that Kim Doo-han was the son of General Kim Jwa-jin. Of course, whether Kim Doo-han, who is said to have appeared in the Dong-A Ilbo, and Kim Doo-han, whom we know, are the same person...Make your own judgment.

A contract terrorist who almost became a hero - Gintogang (written from the current affairs journal)

 The myth of Kim Doo-han, which re-emerged as "The Age of Wild Men," and Kim Doo-han, how far is true, are the talk of the town again. This is because of Seoul Broadcasting's Monday-Tuesday drama "The Age of Wild Men," which began airing in late July (directed by Jang Hyung-il, scripted by Lee Kyung-eun). Nowadays, there are also rumors among middle and high school men that if they don't know "Gintdokkang" (Kim Doo-han's Japanese name), they can't join the conversation. This phenomenon is reminiscent of 10 years ago when the movie "The Son of the General" (Director Lim Kwon-taek) was released. The action movie, which deals with Kim Doo-han's life story, set a phenomenal box office record (670,000 people in Seoul) at the time. Then, was Kim Doo-han really a loyalist and a thorough nationalist, as depicted in movies and dramas? Let's dig into the fiction and truth of "Kim Doo-han Myth." Kim Doo-han was a romantic gang member, but Kim Doo-han, who conquered the world of fists in the back alley of Jongno-tong at the age of 18, claimed to be a gang member and used to call it the era of gang members. So what does it mean to be a gangster? Legendary gangster Yoo Ji-kwang, who played during the Liberal Party era, classified the collaborators as "sympathetic gangsters" by distinguishing them from gangsters (players and eaters), shoulders (violent before being united into a group), and Parakho (unwilled and violent). After the Korean War, the term gangster appeared collectively. Yoo Ji-kwang defined "an illegal group that formed a gang using violence as a means to achieve economic goals" as gangsters. Then, was Kim Doo-han a "romantic gangster" who had nothing to do with such a gangster? It is clear that Kim Doo-han was such a sympathetic gangster that even strangers could not overlook being in a pitiful situation. However, organized crime researchers cite Kim Doo-han as the founder of Korean organized gangsters regardless of his personal preference. Kim Doo-han is said to be the first gangster in the modern sense to have strict hierarchical order and internal discipline. In particular, political contract violence and economic interest intervention led by Kim Doo-han after liberation became the prototype of the activities of later organizational gangs. Was Kim Doo-han an anti-Japanese fighter? In the drama "Rustic Era," the underworld boss Ssangkal persuades Kim Doo-han to leave for Manchuria and dissuades him. "It's an independence movement to fight with guns, but it's also an independence movement to protect Jongno's commercial district. We can become independent forces in the streets." Shin Joo-baek, a research professor at Sungkyunkwan University, said, "However, despite this cause, Kim Doo-han is only a gangster who was parasitic to Joseon merchants to feed the organization." The confrontation with Hayashipae, who dominated the Myeong-dong commercial district, is also exaggerated in movies and dramas. In fact, in Kim Doo-han's memoir "Bloody National Foundation Eve," published in 1963, there is no mention of confronting the Yakujapae to protect the commercial district of Koreans. This is in contrast to the detailed description of how he worked to eradicate Communists after liberation. Of course, it is true that people felt vicarious satisfaction at the time just by beating down the Japanese who said that Kim Doo-han used his strength. However, Kim Dong-hoe, who was the middle boss of Hayashi's defeat and later became close to Kim Doo-han, testified that he had a symbiotic relationship rather than confrontation with Hayashi. Kim, who appeared in MBC's "100 Years of Korea as a Gangster and a Gangster" in 1999, claimed that Hayashi handed over the right to operate the bicycle storage to Kim Doo-han after the so-called Jangchungdan Battle, and the two maintained a close relationship. Kim Doo-han also wrote in his memoir that Hayashi sent him 1,000 won each month as pocket money. According to a close aide, Hayashi returned to Japan shortly after liberation and gave Kim Doo-han all the remaining Korean money and a handgun as gifts. During this period, Kim Doo-han, who was persuaded by Park Heon-young and served as the leader of the Korean Communist Party, was armed with these weapons given by Hayashi and robbed the houses of Korean leaders such as Park Heung-sik and Baek Nak-seong. It was to raise funds for the activities. Jang Taek-sang, who served as prime minister or was Kim Doo-han a leading contributor to the nation's foundation, said he liked to ask such questions during his lifetime. "Do you know the three people who made Korea possible today?" Rhee Syng-man, me and Kim Doo-han." This is true when it comes to the anti-aircraft struggle. Shortly after liberation from Japanese colonial rule, Kim Doo-han, who was in the Communist Party, transformed into a merciless "white terrorist" after meeting Yeom Eung-taek, the head of the right-wing secret association. This is because he heard from Yeom Eung-taek that his father, General Kim Jwa-jin, was killed by a communist. Since then, Kim Doo-han, who has become the "only doctor from this region," has been deeply involved in various terrorist incidents such as the attempted shooting of Park Heon-young and the murder of Yeo Woon-hyung. At that time, the Republic of Korea (Korea Democratic Youth Alliance), a youth organization led by Kim Doo-han, was so feared by left-wing activists that there was a saying, "Even if you live if you get caught by the police, you die if you get caught in the youth group." The performance of the Republic of Korea stood out in the September general strike led by the National Council of Korean Trade Unions in 1946. At that time, Kim Doo-han made 3,000 commandos armed with hands-on guns, grenades, and bamboo spears drunk with whiskey and attacked railroad union members who were on strike at Yongsan Station. The Republic of Korea, which quickly disarmed the union members, selected eight of them, killed them with bamboo spears, and buried them in a sewer at the station. Kim Doo-han also enjoyed the method of secretly kidnapping and killing Communist Party officials and key union members, and throwing their bodies when the train was running on the railroad bridge. In his memoirs, Kim Doo-han recalled that there were 72 "human cargoes" that he had completed. It was around this time that he kidnapped Jeong Jin-young, who had been a beggar since he lived under the bridge, and beat him with a steel pipe. Jung Jin-young remained in the Communist Party after Kim Doo-han converted and led the "left-wing fist." Kim Doo-han was referred to the U.S. government court for his involvement in these terrorist incidents and sentenced to death. The following year, when the Republic of Korea was founded, he received a special amnesty from President Rhee Syng-man, but Kim Doo-han recalls that he was scolded for "Hey, stop killing people" at a meeting with President Lee. However, Syngman Rhee was one of the people behind the scenes who made him the spearhead of the White Terror. According to Dr. Kim Haeng-sun, who studied the history of liberation politics and youth movements, the Republic of Korea was the SS of Rhee Syng-man and the Liberty Korea Party and the "Great Air Combat Unit" that spread the founding ideology they aim for. In response, Kim Doo-han emphasized in his memoir that his terrorist actions stemmed from a heroic sole decision. The U.S. military government and the police had no choice but to stand by. However, this is an incredible argument considering the political and social dynamics of the time. Moreover, an aide claimed that Kim Doo-han was not the kind of person who could have his "thoughts" and that he should not be named. A close aide who once wrote Kim Doo-han's biography (the biography was not published in the end) referred to Kim Doo-han as a "simple, passionate, and thin-eared person." He argues that the National Assembly trash dumping incident, which later turned the whole country upside down, was not from Kim Doo-han himself, but from the head of Park (scenario writer), who was a key brain. Was Kim Doo-han a fighter who resisted the dictatorship? The drama "The Age of Wild Men" begins with the aforementioned incident of throwing garbage at the National Assembly. This means that the incident was interpreted with great importance. In September 1966, Kim Doo-han, then a member of the Korean German Party, said at the plenary session of the National Assembly, "Get rid of it. It refers to an incident in which Prime Minister Chung Il-kwon and other members of the State Council were scattered with garbage along with abusive language, saying, "You punks. In this incident, Kim Doo-han not only lost his seat as a lawmaker, but also suffered from being called to the Central Intelligence Agency due to Park Jung-hee's hatred. However, instead, Kim Doo-han remained in the hearts of the general public as an image of "a spokesman for the common people" and a fighter against the military regime. Although his actions are not without criticism as a showmanship and a serious challenge to the rule of law to overcome the limits of a one-man party, his actions at that time opened a refreshing breakthrough for ordinary people who were suppressed under the military regime. Kim Doo-han, who has been reborn as a politician from a back alley gangster, may be the main character of a dramatic success myth that is hard to see again in our history. Nevertheless, as the novelist Seo Hae-sung said, violence without philosophy only leads to a vicious cycle of violence. Park Han-yong, a researcher at the Institute for Ethnic Affairs, said, "Kim Doo-han, who could have been a hero, ended up leaving a stain on Korea's modern history as Korea's first old college and the originator of far-right terrorists." Of course, dramas are fiction. No matter how you interpret historical figures, it's up to the production team. However, as the production crew revealed in their own production intentions, "The Age of Wild Men" is a epic drama that tries to look behind history. It is feared that the worshippers of "Ginttogang" will be overwhelmed by action and make a mistake of not looking back on history. Born in Sajik-dong, Seoul in 1917.

Battle of the Tokugawa Shogunate and Portuguese Merchant Marine

 *** It's a quote from "Samurai William" written by Giles Milton. ***  I couldn't see Nagashiki from the sea. From now on, it was surrounded by dizzying high mountains, and cedar trees were growing thickly. So, before the ship entered the beautiful natural port, there were few maze-like roads of Nagasaki on board. The region has enjoyed prosperity since Jesuit priests owned their own farms and log houses here in 1580. Nagasaki made a lot of money from trading silk with China, and now it has become a wealthy port, with churches, seminaries, and dormitories lined up on the streets. However, those who expected a typical Portuguese colonial village were surprised that the atmosphere of the area was rather similar to that of several villages near the coast of Kyushu. Merchants' mansions were covered with Japanese-style concave roofs, and even poor houses had bamboo sliding doors covered with translucent windows. The most unusual place was the Jesuit Church. In a hexagonal building, the roof was stacked in the shape of a tower, making it more like a temple than a Christian temple.  > When ships departing from Macau entered the port once a year, people flocked to the shady streets. The sailors visited brothels and bars, and the Portuguese nobles (Idalgo) with their sideburns dressed up in bulky pantaloons, buckled shoes, and fluttering hats. Many of them belonged to the Misericordia Fraternity, a fraternity for laymen and priests who shared noble ideals and Catholic beliefs.  Festivals and commemorative events were held on the day when Portuguese ships leaving Macau entered Japan once a year. 1609 was a year when the justification of the festival was clearer than ever.The No-sa Senhora de Grasa (meaning the "mother of grace") carried the most treasure among ships entering Nagasaki over the past few years. The ship contained 200 tons of silk and a huge amount of silver ingots, reaching 600,000 cruzas. The Jesuit priests, who served as middlemen, were very pleased when the ship came in. This is because they were able to make a good profit in exchange for the sale of badges.  However, such a ship full of treasure was the object of envy and greed, and it soon happened. The mayor of Nagasaki said he would send armed guards to inspect the ship's cargo according to his rights. But the captain disrespectfully refused to let the guards on board. The mayor was angry and announced that he would board the ship himself. However, he was also denied boarding. The mayor was furious when he found out the captain's identity. The captain was Andre Pessoa of Macau, who was completely discredited by his actions in Macau a few months ago. At that time, Japanese sailors made a fuss in Macau. Then Pesoa broke into their quarters and killed many people. The captivated Japanese sailors were released after being forced to sign a statement stating that the bloodshed was their responsibility. After suffering from various hardships, he returned to Japan with wounds.  News of Pesoa's actions in Macau quickly reached Ieyasu. However, Ieyasu concluded the case by imposing fines on the Portuguese. However, when I heard that Peso baby insulted Nagasaki's mayor, I took a very extreme action this time. Ieyasu ordered, "Execute the captain and the Portuguese, and seize all cargo with the ship." On the other hand, Pesoa was ordered to come to Ieyasu's palace because he would pardon the Japanese for killing them. However, he noticed signs of something strange and refused to land, so he stayed in a safe heavily armed ship. Angry at Pesoa's disapproval, Ieyasu ordered local lord Harunobu Arima to arrest the captain and seize the ship. Lord Arima was excited and carried out his mission. This is because some of his subordinates were involved in the Macau incident and were seeking revenge. He convened about 1,200 samurai and prepared for a night raid in the first week of January 1610. The warriors were divided into 30 ships and lined up along Nagasaki Bay. Convinced of their success, they cursed Pesoa and fired muskets into the night sky. Captain Pesoa waited until the warriors approached the ship and fired two rounds of gunfire. The Japanese small fleet was completely destroyed, and corpses floated everywhere. On a Portuguese ship, as if to spray salt on an injured wound, he blew a trumpet every time he fired.' Arima's men had to retreat and reorganize their troops. Then he continued to try to attack the bay, but could not approach the Senhora de Grasa. On three nights in a row, he knelt down at Pesoa's shipyard. On January 6, the Portuguese captain put his armed merchant ship out of the port and escaped to safe seas. Lord Arima was more desperate to prepare for the final attack. After building a wooden tower so that his men could cross to a merchant ship, he "carried it by two large ships." The tower was as high as the mast of a Portuguese merchant ship and covered it with wet animal skin in case of fire. In addition, the lord hired 1,800 mercenaries to ensure victory.  The final attack began around 9 p.m. and was more successful than before. Some of the bravest Japanese warriors finally crossed over to armed merchant ships. However, he was cut to death by the swords of defenders before he could even swing a large Japanese sword. Two warriors were killed in Captain Pesoa's hands. The sailors of the merchant ship were excited and declared an early victory. Then something unimaginable happened. Just as the Portuguese were about to throw a grenade at the Japanese army, a musket shot fired by a warrior hit the grenade. The fire on the grenade was transferred to the cannon fire on the deck, and soon after, the vertical sails of the rear mast began to burn. For a moment Captain Pesoa sensed that everything was over, and that the great ship had run out of luck. Captain Pesoa, in extreme excitement and frenzy, chose a dramatic end. This is what the record says. "The valiant captain laid down his sword and went down into the cabin without a word. He went down to the warehouse with a cross in one hand and a torch in the other and lit the powder-powder-box.' Immediately, a catastrophic explosion followed. The Senhora de Grasa, which seemed to float slightly upward, was engulfed in flames, split into two rivers, and sank beneath the deep sea. There was no trace of Captain Pesoa. Ieyasu was furious when he heard the whole story. He threatened to execute all Portuguese merchants in Nagasaki and all those involved in Japan's Jesuits. However, when prudence prevailed among the retainers, he accepted the recommendation and took away such threats. The sinking of the Senhora de Grasa, a labor-management vessel, has greatly damaged the reputation of the Jesuits. The damage suffered by the Jesuits reached about 30,000 cruzas, and the Jesuits were in the most disastrous situation that could not be imagined.' Portuguese merchants were also frustrated. As the merchant ship sank, the year's income also sank. Some of the bravest Japanese warriors finally crossed over to armed merchant ships. However, he was cut to death by the swords of defenders before he could even swing a large Japanese sword. Two warriors were killed in Captain Pesoa's hands.    ===> The Japanese army is famous for being strong in 100 battles, so there was a saying, "If even one Japanese soldier enters the Panokseon, 10 Japanese soldiers can't beat them." In fact, 20 Japanese soldiers in Geoje Island climbed to the Panokseon led by Master and Gyeokgun.

collections of clear evidence that Dokdo belongs to Korea

 I'm going to start studying Dokdo!  


Paltochongdo Year: 1592 / Compilation: Toyotomi Hideyoshi / Size: 36 x 495 cm This map was produced for the purpose of invading ships during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592.   On this map, not only did Japan record Dokdo as Joseon's territory, but Tsushima Island, which is currently defined as Japan's territory, is also recorded as Joseon's territory, which is evaluated as data that could cause a "Daemado dispute." CAUTION!! This map was compiled by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, a Japanese. Please complain about the map to the ignorant Hideyoshi who chose the wrong location!   


It is a map produced by Kuki and others at the order of Toyotoy Hideyoshi during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, 1827 Jaemosa/Production Standard: 50x36cm. Ulleungdo Island and Umbrella (Dokdo Island) are marked on the Gangwon-do part of Paldochongdo Island. It is the first map in Japan to mark Ulleungdo and Dokdo in Korean names, and this map is an important data that recognized Ulleungdo and Dokdo as Korean territory before the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592.  


Joseon East Coast Year: 1876 / Compilation: Japanese Navy Hydrographic Department / Specification: 65x103 cm The Russian Fleet Paradise was reissued by the Japanese Navy in 1876 for operational purposes. It depicts the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula, coastline, Ulleungdo and Dokdo. Like the title of the map, this map also shows Dokdo's territory as Joseon's territory.  


Joseon Guksekyeondo Production Year: 1873 / Compiled by: Somezaki Nobuhusa Joseon Guksekyeokdo is a map produced in Japan in the late 19 years of age, and Ulleungdo and Dokdo are drawn next to Uljin-hyeon in the same color as Gangwon-do to mark it is marked as Joseon's territory.  


In the early 19th century, during the Japanese shogunate era, a Western-style map of Japan with Usan Island, which is believed to be the origin of Dokdo, was discovered. The map's Usando Island seems to have named Dokdo Island the old name of Ulleungdo Island at the time when there was no geographical knowledge.  


Tadataka Ino, the founder of modern map production in Japan, traveled around Japan 10 times and completed the Japan Coastal Site Exhibition (left) in 1821, and the Sohak Pilhu Japan Exhibition based on it. The Japan Coastal Field Map stipulates Sado Island and Tsushima Island, which are adjacent to Dokdo, but excludes Dokdo from its territory. Sohakpil Hu, Japan's mission, four northern islands and the Kuril Islands were marked as Japanese territory, but there was no Dokdo.  


Joseon was drawn in the upper left corner of the Japanese branch shrine, and unlike Japan, it was marked in a single color, indicating Jukdo (,,, Ulleungdo) and Songdo (도島, Dokdo) as Joseon territory.   


The general meeting is also a general meeting of Japan in the late 1700s, and Dokdo is painted yellow like a map of the Three Kingdoms and specified as "the one of Joseon" next to it.  


Again, dakesima, the Japanese claim, is an island of delusion and does not exist in reality!!!

Not Rich, But Beautiful: What Kim Gu Really Meant by a “Cultural Nation”
