The fall of Sabi Castle in AD660, and the fall of Imjonseong in 663. This is the end of Baekje's existence as we know it. Of course, when Hubaekje was founded by Gyeonhwon in AD 900, the name Baekje once again appeared at the forefront of Korean history, but Baekje has been forgotten in our history for nearly 240 years. And in 1237, Lee Yeon-nyeon started a rebellion with the banner of Baekje's reconstruction (the so-called "White Rebellion"), but Baekje no longer appears at the forefront of our history as it was soon suppressed. The number of households was 760,000, more than Goguryeo, the most powerful country in our history. Baekje names that appear widely from Southeast Asia to Japan, but the existence of Hanseong, the capital of Baekje for hundreds of years, is still unknown. Although it is indispensable in our history, there are several mysteries that cannot be easily understood in the fall of Baekje, which has several mysterious knots. Subsequently... If you look at the Jinseong Empress, one of the two major librarians of Korean history written by monk Ilyeon during the Goryeo Dynasty, an article that you can't understand at first glance appears. Queen Jinseong of Silla said, "The pirates of Baekje blocked the envoys going to China from Jindo Island, and the king sent about 50 archers to escort them on the Queen Jinseong of Silla. It is the 51st King of Silla, who ascended to the throne in 887 and reigned for 10 years until his death in 897. From 887 to 897 when Queen Jinseong reigned, it was 220 years after Baekje's revival forces met their end in Imjonseong Fortress. Nevertheless, how should I explain the existence of Baekje pirates in the history books? Of course, considering that Queen Jinseong's reign is entering the chaos of the late Unified Silla period, it can be thought of as a record of the people of Baekje, or as a reference to the people of Baekje who were expanding their power based on the people. However, it is difficult to accept that there were no Hojok forces officially referred to Baekje until Gyeonhwon opened Hubaekje in earnest, and that Silla, which had maintained the unified dynasty until then, called the local Hojok forces "Baekje." It should have been called "numerical" at the most. Then, how should we interpret the pirates of Baekje, which appeared in the Jinseong Queen Dynasty? Professor Lee Do-hak, who is well versed in the study of Baekje history, suggested that the remaining forces were based on the island region of the West Sea and maintained their reputation, based on an article in which three Baekje princes evacuated to Heuksando Island. However, this is also a somewhat unreasonable opinion considering that not even a single contact with him has appeared in Silla's articles for more than 200 years have passed. It is hard to understand that Silla, which destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo, won the war with the Tang army, left Baekje's remaining forces, including the royal family, and if there were such Baekje's refugees in the West Sea, it would have been impossible to find any traces. The traces of Baekje do not end here. This is a record of Wonsa, a history book of the Yuan Dynasty in China, known as one of the strangest historical sources for those who study Baekje history or Goryeo history. It was in 1267, the 8th year of King Wonjong of Goryeo. Some historians said that the records of the librarian were recorded because Goryeo and Baekje were confused, but it is hard to understand. If so, there should be an article about the fact that Goryeo dispatched a envoy called Yango to pay tribute to the emperor and received silk, but not only that, but there is no existence of a person called Yango. In addition, some argue that this may be based on the islands or sent by the displaced people who flowed into Japan, but this is also difficult to understand. In general, envoys can not only be sent by forces with a normal national system, but also to know the emperor directly - and the Yuan was a great empire that defeated most of the civilized world at the time - only possible if they had that value or power. It means that not everyone can meet the emperor just because they are envoys. Then, what exactly is Baekje in this history? In addition, Baekje's existence has appeared everywhere even after Baekje collapsed and even Hubaekje collapsed. In 983, in the second year of King Seongjong's reign of King Seongjong of Goryeo, the phrase "He has the old land of Samhan and the bag left by Baekje" appears, and in the Song emperor's record issued in 985, the phrase "Always make Baekje people and Janghoe's tribe peaceful" appears. First of all, the first incomprehensible part of the bookbongmun is the expression "having a bag left by Baekje." What is a bag? Bongji refers to an area that is operated by a country other than its home country and sealed to the empress. However, as far as we know, it is an incomprehensible phrase that Goryeo, which should occupy all of Baekje's stronghold, has the old land of Samhan and the bag left by Baekje. This implies the possibility that Baekje's stronghold did not remain only on the Korean Peninsula. Here, the phrase in the record issued the following year further confuses us. They are the people of Baekje, which refers to the refugees, so even so, they are the people of Janghoe. Janghoe's tribe is generally referred to as Jangjok and Hoejok, and its base is in the lower reaches of Yangjagang, especially Gwangseoseong, where the modern Jangjok autonomous district is located, because it has nothing to do with Goryeo so far as we know. It's like a random story. And traces of Baekje reappear in later generations. According to the famous history, Hong Mu-je, who founded the Ming Dynasty, has a policy of lifting the ban. According to the policy of blocking the office area, Ming's troops fought a war with maritime forces in the Jusan Islands (the gateway area to the Yellow Sea downstream of Yangjagang) for 300 years. Later, they were kicked out to Southeast Asia and scattered. The problem is that the descendants of the Jusan Islands, which were scattered in Southeast Asia, monopolized trade and built economic power there again, came to China under the policy of attracting overseas Chinese capital. As such, Baekje has not appeared in the form of a rebellion after the second anniversary of Baekje's revival movement in 1237, but it is constantly appearing in the front of modern history through other countries' librarians and records. What the hell is going on? If you go to Zhangjiao Autonomous Region in Guangxi Province in southeastern China, you will have a surprising experience for all Koreans. This is because the names of Baekje, the words Baekje, which can be easily found even on street signs or bus billboards, and Jangjok children who call their mothers mom and their fathers dad, and the millstone, jigae, and Ganggangsuwolrae culture that only our people have are found in Jangjok district. With Jeonju, Wansan, and Kirinbong Peak present on the map, the local people in this area pronounce the area called Baekje Heo by the Chinese as Daebaekje. Professor Lee Do-hak, a researcher on ancient history mentioned above, argues for Baekje's entry into the continent by referring to articles appearing in Chinese amphibians and Songseo through his thesis. This is because, in the historical books of these two countries, which correspond to the Southern Dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, articles appear that Baekje (Nakrang) established and ruled the military in Yoseo and Jinpyeong. In general, the Yoseo area refers to the current western area of Yoha. In addition, since ancient times, this area has been recognized for the possibility of entering Baekje, even if it is not an article of these Namjo librarians, given that it is a base for Dongi people rather than the Chinese Huaha people. But what about Jinpyeong-gun? Jinpyeong-gun, which appears in Chinese history books, is a place name that appears over a wide area from the vicinity of Shandong Province to the vicinity of Guangxi Province. Therefore, it is difficult to predict easily, but Shandong theory has been supported because it is close to a summary. However, Professor So Jin-cheol, who also studies Baekje history on the continent, is a Yang Jik-gongdo. It was created in the 6th century, and based on the fact of Baekje's entry into Yoseo and the fact of division, many controversial materials) it was studied with Chinese geographers and recently discovered Baekje names and customs. In fact, the possibility of Baekje entering this area is highly likely considering various records of librarians, current customs, and place names. Of course, the form may vary not necessarily in the form of territory, but in the way of the movement of the displaced people, but because there are too many and extensive traces to pass by. In particular, what confuses us again is some records after the fall of Baekje, which was established by Gyeonhwon.
First of all, it is a matter related to nominations. Although it has already been dealt with several times in KBS history special, this is because a large number of Korean place names appear in the Guangxi region of China three years after the fall of Hubaekje. The names of places and relics in the central areas of Hubaekje, including Jeonju, Wansan, Girinbong Peak, and Geumsansa Temple, began to appear here after Hubaekje collapsed, because most of the Chinese geographical names on the Korean Peninsula were brought from China in the Silla period. On top of that, the close relationship with the Goryeo Dynasty, which unified the post-Three Kingdoms period, cannot be easily overlooked. In volume 8 of Sangsanji (total volume 10), which records the history of Sangsansa Temple, the largest temple in the region, it is recorded that Cheolsan Elder, the chief priest of this temple, suddenly asked King Goryeo for a gift, but the answer is colorful. In response to the request of Cheolsan Elder at the time, according to records, King Goryeo presented "Yeomyeongju, a Buddhist scripture carved with gold, a hat made of feathers of a rod, clothes engraved with 1,000 people with gold thread, gold rice bowls, and Buddha statues. In the end, these records, combined with the countless Baekje place names remaining in the Gwangseoseong area - and with the customs of the Jangs who have lived in the area for hundreds of years - can be evidence that the area continues to be linked to our history after the fall of Baekje. In particular, it is easier to confirm the fact by looking at the tombstone of Heukchi Sangji, an exile general in Baekje stored in the Nanjing Museum in China. The tombstone says, "Heukchi originally came from Buyeo, the royal family of Baekje, but it is leading to Blackchi because Blackchi area refers to the area where people with black teeth live by eating a kind of tropical fruit at that time, and is irregular in modern times, especially in the Philippines. This is what Choi Chi-won, the best scholar of the time in the Silla period, wrote in his book, "Goguryo and Baekje invaded May with a million strong soldiers in their heyday, raising persistent suspicions about its connection." In other words, Wolju has an indispensable relationship because it becomes the current Gwangseoseong area. Here's one more thing. Although it is difficult to prove the connection with the fact alone, it cannot be ignored that the old country, which is now regarded as the Okinawa archipelago, continues endlessly to give tribute to us throughout the Goryeo and Joseon periods. This is because traces of Korean-style relics and so-called Joseon-style construction have been found in Okinawa, where the old country still existed, so it is difficult to prove a specific connection, but there is a connection that cannot be easily overlooked. In the end, the traces of Baekje, which appear steadily even after the fall of Baekje, are difficult to think of separately from the traces of Baekje and Baekje's overseas management that have appeared before that. As they try to find traces of Baekje only within the Korean Peninsula, they continue to try to understand the traces as traces of Baekje refugees at the most, but as mentioned earlier, these are various unreasonable ways of understanding. Perhaps this mystery of the fall of Baekje contains a key to find lost pieces of our history that we have turned a blind eye to and are still trying to deny.
