Was Confucius Korean? The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival came from South Korea? It seems that the people of this humble country that has been inferior for nearly two thousand years are all crazy? Narcissism to the realm of ignorance and fearlessness?

A country that does not even have the ability to defend its own national sovereignty, a small trusteeship that has entrusted the main defense rights to another country, claims to be the center of the world? A nation that has been annihilated by China countless times in history, and a nation that has surrendered to the enemy countless times. He actually wants to take all the glory that once belonged to the Chinese nation as his own! I don't know what the fuck is! Annoying, now let's look at the real history of this small country where the Boeing 747 can travel through the whole territory in just half an hour.

The first to establish political power on the Korean Peninsula was the Mija* (it is said that the Mija* was a union of eups). After King Wu of Zhou's reign destroyed the Shang dynasty in China, the Shang Dynasty minister Jizi led 5,000 remnants of the Shang Dynasty to move eastward to the * peninsula and united with the indigenous people to establish the "Marquis of the Ji Clan", which was destroyed by the Yan people Wei Manchu during the Qin Dynasty in China.

After the rebellion of the Western Han Dynasty, the Yan people Wei Man led more than 1,000 people into the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, relying on the power of the Central Plains immigrants here to replace the Ji clan*, and the capital was Wang Weicheng (now Pyongyang), known as the Wei clan in history*. The last king of the Kei clan* entered the Korean settlement in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and founded Malaysia Korea. The history of the establishment of the Wei clan by the Yan people is clearly recorded in the "Historical Records". Attached to the article.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Wei's vassal status to the Western Han Dynasty was clarified. When it developed to the right canal of Wei Man's grandson, due to the growing independence of the Wei clan and the direct threat to the rule of the Western Han Dynasty over the ethnic groups of Northeast Asia, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to destroy the Wei clan in 108 AD, and set up four counties of Lelang, Xuansu, Zhenfan, Lintun and the Western Han Dynasty to bring the northern part under the direct jurisdiction of the Western Han government.

In the 3rd century B.C., the kingdom of Tatsu appeared in the southern part of the * peninsula. It is recorded in the history books that there are "three Hans" in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, namely Benhan, Jinhan, and Mahan, but there are only two larger alliances of Bangguo and Settlement. Benhan is subordinate to the kingdom of Chen, that is, Chenhan. After the Western Han Dynasty destroyed the Wei clan and set up four counties, they all belonged to Lelang County.

The kingdom of Tatsu exists in the eastern region of Mahan. When recording the situation of Ma Han in the 3rd century B.C., volume 30 of the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, the Han Biography says: "Although the country has a commander, the towns are mixed and cannot be well controlled", "The northern counties and the countries know the customs and customs, and the distance is like a gathering of prisoners and slaves." "So in this case, it is difficult for us to say that Mahan has already emerged as its own country at this time. Therefore, Tatsu is not a "country" that can be recognized in the sense of modern standards.

Lelang County was the highest authority of the Western Han government to manage the affairs of the Korean Peninsula. Under the unified administration of Rajang-gun, the Korean Peninsula is divided into three regions.

(1) It is a directly administered area of Lelang County in the Datong River Basin. Han Chinese make up almost half of the total population of the region, which is the basis for the implementation of the same decree on the region as in the Central Plains.

(2) It is an area under the jurisdiction of the eastern and southern governors of Lelang County. Although the proportion of Han Chinese here is much smaller than in the Datong River basin, so there are some special policies for the region, but in general, the central government still implements the decrees, except that the local minority leaders are appointed as lower-level officials in Lelang County.

(3) It is an area other than Lelang County in the southern part of the peninsula. Although there were also some Han immigrants here, the most important political organization was the alliance between the two countries and settlements, Mahan and Jinhan, which were established by the Samhan ethnic group and the ancient * remnants. Although they were nominally subordinate to Lelang County, they were in fact more independent, and the Western Han government did not set up local administrative bodies in the local area. In this way, the Western Han government brought the entire Korean Peninsula under Chinese rule.

When we enter the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, if we look at the history of East Asia BC in terms of the constituent elements of a modern state, then we will find that before the 2nd century BC, there was only one mature state in East Asia, that is, ancient China. At this time, China took all of East Asia as the historical stage, freely showed its own cohesion, and developed to the limit of its tolerance in space. The history of East Asian civilization in this period is the history of Chinese civilization. After the rise of the Xiongnu Empire in the Mongolian steppe, China faced a challenge from the north for the first time. The rivalry between agrarian and nomadic empires that affected much of East Asia during the Han Dynasty was a major event that had a profound impact on Chinese history. The victory of the agrarian empire represented by the Han Dynasty eventually made the Mongolian steppe an integral part of China, establishing the pattern of ancient China's territory.

Under the influence of China, in remote areas where the Han Dynasty's control was difficult to reach, other countries outside of China began to emerge during this period. With the end of the era in which there was only China in East Asia, the new question of how to get along with the countries of East Asia has also been placed in front of the rulers of various countries, especially the rulers of China. The rulers of the Han Dynasty, proceeding from the traditional political concept of "the whole world, the land of the king", did not recognize the existence of states of the same nature in East Asia, and continued to strive to bring all of East Asia, that is, the whole known world at that time, into the unified rule of China. However, in practice, the rulers of the Han Dynasty were also aware of the great differences between the regions and ethnic groups in East Asia, so they gradually explored the establishment of some special local management systems to control special areas. In the Tang Dynasty, the special local management system gradually formed a mature mechanism outside the county system in the Central Plains, so that the fetters system became a major feature of the Tang Dynasty's management of the border areas. Applying the method of feudal rule, the Tang dynasty brought most of East Asia under Chinese rule.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Baekje and Silla regimes, which originated from the Samhan ethnic group in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, gradually developed. For more than 1,000 years, the Samhan nation and its successors were closely associated with the Central Plains Dynasty. After more than 1,000 years of development, the ethnic groups of the Korean Peninsula eventually established a completely independent single ethnic state, but its early history was subordinate to the relationship between the Central Plains Dynasty. As a neighboring country, we view the independence and dignity of the Korean Peninsula with full respect and goodwill. But this respect should not come at the expense of historical truth.

In 372, King Baekje sent an envoy to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to establish a tributary relationship. Emperor Wen of Jin canonized King Xiao Gu as the general of Zhendong, and led Le Lang to be too guarded. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Baekje maintained a tributary relationship with both the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but had a closer relationship with the Southern Dynasties. Later than Baekje, Silla also began to pay formal tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty. However, the Silla king was located at the southwestern tip of the Korean Peninsula and was inaccessible, so Silla had little interaction with the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The successive Baekje kings on the Korean Peninsula inherited the military title of Governor of Baekje, and the characteristics of the local administrative organization in China were very obvious, and at one time they were also given the official titles of pure local administrative officials such as Lelang Taishou and Dongcheongju Thorn History. It's just that the central government has delegated the power to govern ethnic minorities to Goguryeo, so the king of Baekje has never brought titles such as the commander of Dongyi Zhonglang and the commander of Dongyi. This is because the official titles given to Goguryeo and Baekje by the Central Dynasty of China were not arbitrary, but met the needs of their local administration.

Therefore, when Baekje and Silla first entered the state system from a tribal form, their nature was a local administrative organization in China. This is evidenced by the fact that the titles given to the kings of Baekje and Silla by the Chinese dynasties from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties were always in the nature of local administrative heads. Until the Sui and Tang dynasties, this long-term institutionalized political relationship between the Korean Peninsula countries and China was in stark contrast to the accidental and intermittent nature of Japan's political ties with China, thus distinguishing it from China's relationship with Japan.

After 663, except for those who had not been crowned by the Tang Dynasty for a short period of time, the successive Silla kings held the position of hereditary governor of Jilin Prefecture, and the area under his jurisdiction was the governor of Jilin Prefecture under the Tang Dynasty, which belonged to the local government of the Tang Dynasty on the * peninsula, rather than an independent state, and the identity of the king of Silla was the local administrative official of the Tang Dynasty on the * peninsula.

After Silla occupied most of the south-central part of the Korean Peninsula with the help of Tang power, the Central Plains Dynasty began to give land south of the Taedong River to Silla during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang and Silla took the Taedong River as the boundary of administrative jurisdiction. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty fell into a state of civil strife. At this time, the local governments of many border ethnic groups rose rapidly, and Silla also entered a period of relatively independent development. However, the long-standing tributary relationship between Silla and China continued, and the new kings had to be canonized when they ascended the throne, and the influence of Chinese culture on it was direct and profound. At the beginning of the 10th century, Wang Jian replaced Silla to establish a new kingdom on the Korean Peninsula, and for various reasons, Wang Jian named this kingdom that was directly born from Silla "Goryeo", which we call "Wang's Goryeo". The establishment of Wang's Goryeo was an important reason why later generations could not distinguish Goguryeo from the countries of the Korean Peninsula.

The formation process of East Asian countries shows a clear secondary nature. With China, which has already entered the mature country, as an imitation object, they no longer have to explore their own unique path of national evolution. This has greatly accelerated the historical process of various countries, so that they have completed the evolution from an early country to a mature country that China has taken 2,000 years to walk in a few hundred years, and the price they have paid for this is the loss of their own particularity, and all countries have been profoundly influenced by China from political systems to culture and customs, showing their homogeneity with China. This homogeneity not only fulfilled China's dream of becoming a "great power of the Celestial Empire", but also created a sense of inferiority in other countries that were relatively backward, which was the basis for the formation of the East Asian tributary system and the East Asian cultural circle.

The Ming Dynasty's founder, Zhu Yuanzhang, announced the 15 non-conquest states, marking China's formal recognition of the existence of the rest of East Asia as political entities independent of China, rather than attempting to bring them under China's unified rule. From then on, in practice, the Central Plains Dynasty no longer regarded the relationship with the Zhou vassal states as an extension of the relationship between various regions in the country, nor did it deal with this relationship with the ideas and methods of solving domestic problems, but adopted a completely new method to deal with the relationship with these vassal states, that is, the tributary system or the relationship between the suzerains and vassals. The relationship between China and the Korean Peninsula not only entered into the tributary system earlier, but has always been a typical example of this system, which is of exemplary significance for the East Asian tributary system that China has fully established later.

At the beginning of the Li dynasty*, in order to consolidate his rule in the country, Li Chenggui actively participated in the tributary relationship established by the Ming Dynasty. In the first half year of his reign, he sent nine envoys to the Ming Dynasty to explain the reasons for the change of domestic regime, and asked the Ming Emperor to give him the title of the country, in order to obtain the recognition and support of the new regime from the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang not only admitted*, but also clearly stated: "Where my Chinese program is always located, the saints have passed it down from generation to generation, and they will not lose it." (Wang's) Goryeo is limited to mountains across the sea, and it is located in Dongyi, which is not governed by China. ("Records of Ming Taizu", vol. 221)"

After giving Li Chenggui the name "*", Zhu Yuanzhang said very clearly: "I look at Goryeo as more than one projectile, a remote corner, different customs, not enough people to win the public, not enough to get land to expand the territory, so the successive generations of conquests, all of them are self-provocative, and they want to annex it at the beginning of not a good land in China." ("Records of Ming Taizu", vol. 225)"

The proactive pursuit of a major policy complemented the Ming Dynasty's pursuit of a German-style diplomacy, making the tributary relationship established between the two sides stronger and more durable. The Ming Dynasty incorporated the Ming Dynasty into the East Asian tributary system centered on China on the basis of implementing the diplomatic policy of "a country without conquest". The tributary relationship between the Ming Dynasty and * became a model in the tributary system of East Asia.

The tributary system of East Asia during the Ming Dynasty was not just a formality. Rather, it has substance. This is reflected not only in the economic and cultural exchanges of the countries in the system, but also in the areas of security and politics. To some extent, the suzerain-vassal relationship between the Ming and the Li clan* can be understood as a classical form of political, economic, military, and security alliance. In 1592, Japan under the leadership of Toyotomi Hideyoshi brazenly launched a war of aggression against the Korean Peninsula, and in a short period of time, the Lee dynasty lost most of its territory, and the king fled to Sinuiju, near the border with China and Korea, to plead with the Ming court to "annex it". In order to aid its allies and crush Japan's attempt to advance eastward into the mainland, the Ming Dynasty sent troops into the Korean Peninsula to participate in the war, and fought a bloody war against the Japanese for seven years with the assistance of the Korean side. Eventually, the Japanese army was expelled from the Korean Peninsula. After the war, the Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops from the Korean Peninsula without any conditions attached.

Behind these help at the cost of blood in history is the greatest goodwill in human history that the Chinese nation can express to the Korean nation. However, historians of the Korean Peninsula have not been able to treat this history objectively, and in 2003, in the 100-episode drama series "The Immortal Yi Sunsin", which was broadcast nationwide, the image of the Ming army was not only scandalized, but also degraded to the extreme. These unpleasant phenomena are rooted in the nationalist sentiment that prevails among the Korean people. These trends of thought, which make it impossible for people to look at history objectively, will have an adverse impact on Sino-ROK relations in the long run.

The history of modern Korea began with Silla and developed into modern Korea through the reigns of King Jiangoryeo and Lee*. To understand the history of Korea, it is important to distinguish between two important points.

First, Wang's Goryeo is different from Goguryeo, the former is an ancient country established by the three Han ethnic groups in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and the latter is an ancient country established by the ancient ethnic groups in northeastern China.

Second, Lee's* is different from "Kei's*" and "Wei's*". Lee* was originally developed from the ancient Silla Kingdom and the Wang's Goryeo Kingdom, and the character "*" was originally a Chinese word. The name was used to refer to the countries of the Korean Peninsula and began with the name given by Ming Taejo to the Lee dynasty of the Korean Peninsula. They are both "*", but their ethnic composition and historical affiliation are different, "Kei*" and "Wei*" belong to the Chinese historical system, while Lee* is part of the ancient history of Korea.

In ancient times, Goguryeo once occupied the territory of Gu*, but Gu* was an ancient Chinese country, so Goguryeo was still an ancient country in northeast China, to distinguish it from the Wang's Goryeo, which was established by the Samhan nation.

Such a small country, which was still in the era of Ru Mao drinking blood in the pre-Qin period, was so shameless that he claimed to be the founder of Chinese Confucian culture, Confucius, who came from a small country that did not even have language and writing for nearly a thousand years. A small vassal country ruled by the Han nation for two thousand years, a small country that has surrendered to the enemy twenty-four times in history, a small country that did not have its own writing until the Ming Dynasty in our country, and a small country where the weather forecast only needs one sentence for rain in the whole country today!

Damn!

I don't know what the so-called small country is to the extreme!
