      Historically, Korean women's clothes show their nipples (about 11 years old. After they get married and have children), until they are old, they use their heads to transport things (and the original culture of Africa).

      The Korean people strongly resisted. Koreans believe that this is a traditional culture of Korea. They insist on retention.
      In the Korean capital city. As long as the Japanese see those Korean women who show their nipples, they will give them penalties and slaps. After that, the Korean capital city gradually reduces Korean women's nipples. They cover the nipples with a piece of cloth.
      (But in the place where there are fewer Japanese soldiers. Korean women still maintain the traditional culture that exposes nipples).
      Until 1950, Westerners were still taking photos in Korea. A photo of Korean women showing nipples on the street (traditional Korean clothing). In 1970, this kind of Korean traditional culture disappeared completely.

    🟥[Fact Check - History of KOREA(KOGURYEO or KORYEO or SHILLA)] After Gojoseon, there were 3 Dynasties divided on Korean peninsula: Koguryeo, Baekje, and Shilla. Koguryeo was destroyed by Shilla on the Korean Peninsula: By Shilla Dynasty's suggestion, Tang Dynasty of the central China sent reinforcements, and Koguryeo was perished by the Shilla-Tang allied forces, so then Koguryeo was absorbed by Shilla. In the end, Shilla ultimately unified the 3 Dynasties and the Korean Peninsula was ruled by the Unified Shilla. The capital of Koguryeo was Pyongyang, and afterwards, Pyongyang was the territory of the Unified Shilla.
    The Unified Shilla Empire used the term "Khan" for emperor like the Mongolian’s Yuan Dynasty used the same term and the emperor of Shilla called himself "Marip-Khan" and it was an empire on equal status to Tang Dynasty of China.
    Following Unified Shilla Empire, there was internal Dynasty transition and Koryeo Empire emerged, and as its name implies, Koryeo(KOREA in English) was a country that succeeded Koguryeo.
    Following Balhae Dynasty in the northeast was founded by part of the Koguryeo refugees, afterwards the so-called Manchurians (former Koguryeo people) established the Qing Empire in the northeast, and the Koryeo people established the Koryeo Empire in the southeast.
    The Qing Dynasty, the empire of the Manchurians invaded and destroyed the Ming Dynasty of the Han Chinese in the central China and established the Qing Dynasty on the heart of China.
    Manchurians,Mongolians,and Koreans are originally the same ethnicity of the northeast(Dongyi), called the Altai-Mongolian, using the Altai-Mongolian transformed languages, which is totally different language to the Chinese language.

    0:57 Yeah, Go-Joseon just founded their kingdom in the Northern Korean peninsula, not entire the peninsula. According to Korean historians, the Southern Korean peninsula was inhabited by many Korean aboriginal tribes, included some Yayoi tribe who are one of the ancestors of the modern Japanese before they move to Japan island. They were very aboriginal and not really found any system of a kingdom like Go-Joseon. Then, Korean people of Go-Joseon kingdom moved to the South of Korean peninsula, especially, after Emperor Han Wu Di of Han Dynasty (China) invaded Go-Joseon in 108 BC. Northern Korean peninsula was ruled by Han Dynasty with few small kingdoms of Korea were found as vassal, included Buyeo, Okjo and Dongye...etc. While the many migrants and tribes from Go-Joseon go to the Southern Korean Peninsula as well as some tribes in the Southern Korean peninsula moved to Northern peninsula and mixed with the tribes and people in these kingdoms like Buyeo, Okjo...etc and created the Samhan. Samhan is 3 confederacies or 3 main great tribes of Korean people, included Mahan, Jinhan and Byeonhan. And Goguryeo and Baekje belonged to Mahan, Shinla belonged to Jinhan and some Byeonhan, while other Byeonhan founded the 4th kingdom called Gaya in 42 CE by King Kim Suro. That's why Korean people claim themselves to be the descendants of King Dangun of Go-Joseon and belonged to Samhan tribes are Mahan, Jinhan and Byeonhan.
    7:52 Actually, this is the map of Three Kingdoms of Korea in the late 6th century, when King Jinheung of Shin La betrayed King Seongmyeong of Baekje as they're the alliance to against Goguryeo, and Shin La kept this territory span until King Jinji and King Jinpyeong lost some lands to Goguryeo and later Baekje again. Baekje was weak after the sudden death of King Seongmyeong and during the reign of King Wideok, but when King Mukang, the son of King Wideok reign, he fought and won almost all battles with Shin La from King Jinpyeong and his daughter Queen / Empress Seondeok, took back the original Baekje's lands that were lost from Shin La and even invaded few regions of Shin La. Baekje's military was pretty strong at the time and upper hand to Shin La. So this map must show Baekje's territory span to be bigger and Shin La will getting smaller at 8:00. And then, Shin La was attacked by both Goguryeo and Baekje, so Queen / Empress Seondeok asked the aid from Emperor Tang Tai Zong of Tang Dynasty to help her, so they formed the Alliance to against Baekje and Goguryeo and they defeated Baekje in 660 CE and Goguryeo in 668 CE, Shin La finally unified the Three Korean Kingdoms.
    However, Dae Jo Young, one of the last generals of Goguryeo escaped from the lost war and go to the north where is now Northern North Korea, Manchu (now is North East China) and Siberia of Russia and founded his own kingdom called Balhae.

      Korea is the only East Asian country on the continent that has not been absorbed by China.. All other ethnic groups have been absorbed, so China is now made up of 56 ethnic groups.. Korea is a country that has survived as a single people for several years.. So Korea has Korean language and writing culture.. The reason why Korea was not absorbed by China is due to geographical reasons.. 70% of the country is a mountain.. So it is easy to defend against war.. And Koreans have a very strong nationalism..When they were invaded from outside, they fought with their lives..In the 5,000-year history, the country was stolen to Japan for 35 years..But even during the Japanese colonial era, Koreans killed Japanese soldiers with numerous independence movements. ..... Even now, if there is an outside invasion, Korea will fight at the risk of life.. But Korea is a huge weapon producer and has thousands of missiles, so it won't be easily destroyed even if it is invaded from outside.

      the "Northern barbarians" were the Koreans - along with the Mongols and the Jurchens. The great wall of china is just slightly above beijing. Manchuria was never conquered by the Han chinese nor was it EVER chinese territory (except the few yrs where shilla gave away some northern territory to Tang. but that really was maybe for a decade or 2). Northeast Manchuria were traditional Jurchen area, and southwest were traditional Korean lands. Eventually the Jurchen clan of Aisin Gioro rose to power in the area when korean presence was diminished (volcano eruption, inner conflict etc), and eventually united manchuria. they then made a pact with Joseon (korea) and freely attacked Han china and absolutely annihilated them. And china was under Manchu rule for 300 yrs, until they were overthrown by the xinhai (chinese) revolution. But by then, it was the 1900s and Korea had been annexed by imperial Japan, and the Russians were contesting Manchuria with japan, while china was still going through a civil war
      The manchurians had no place to go. .. Till Imperial japan proposed Manchuko, and drove out the russian influence in the area. the manchu people along with native koreans moved back to their Manchurian homeland during this time... until ww2 happened and all the land was once again stripped from them once again. Also, since Imperial japan mucked up traditional border lines so much, the Jurchens, Manchurian kOreans, and Manchuria itself was wiped off the face of the map, and for the first time in China's history, Manchuria was handed to the chinese by the allies while the Koreas were divided in 1/2 .. cus obviously the allies did not know the history of the region.
      Shortly after, the genocide of the manchu pple in china began, much like how the chinese are trying to erase Uhyghyrs from history ( also not traditional chinese land). and just like that. Manchuria was wiped off the face of the earth.and china want you to forget that manchuria even ever existed
      the country that benefited MOST from WW2 has got to be china and the USA. everyone else were screwed over.

    Five logical steps to prove that Goguryeo is Korean history.
    1, the clothes of Goguryeo are similar to those of Silla. They wear a cone hat decorated by feather and a coat over their pants. You can see this in ancient murals or
    2, Goguryeo's tomb style is identical to that of Baekje.
    3, There is no discovery Scythian-style crowns in China while found in Goguryeo. Currently, only gold, silver and bronze crowns are found in Baekje, Silla, Goguryeo in common.
    4, According to Nihon Shoki, the oldest japanese history book, the three kingdoms of the Korean Peninsula spoke the same language.(The three kingdoms lent each other translators when they needed to go to China.)
    5.For a long time, Chinese historians couldn't interpret what was written on the tombstone of King Gwanggaeto. They didn't even know it existed before the Qing Dynasty. As a result, the first people to interpret were Japanese. On the other hand, even the Samguk Sagi,the korean history book, is recorded. And on this monument, the king himself asked the Korean(韩人) to protect his tomb.

      1. The founder of Koguryo claims to be Fuyu and a descendant of Chinese ancestors.
      2. Most of Koguryo's oldest historical records are in Chinese history books.
      3. The history of the three Kingdoms of South Korea was written more than 600 years after the demise of Koguryo.
      4.The royal family of Baiji is from Koguryo. It is normal for them to be similar.
      5.Koguryo and Baiji share the same language, but they are different from Silla.
      The language of Silla is the predecessor of Korean, while Gaoguri is recorded in ancient Chinese books similar to the language of the Fuyu nationality.
      6. Most of Koguryo's territory is in China at present, and most of the Gaoguri still live in northeast China. More than 10,000 members of the royal family of Koguryo were exiled to China.

    well, every countries have its dark period stories. Modern Korean history is one of them but there was a period that Korean kingdom is a superpower of the region. As we can see in this video, Goguryeo is one of them. Just like the United States has prevented the growth of Japan through trade wars and is now doing the same with China, Sui also started a war to prevent the growth of Goguryeo but they failed and collapsed. There's Balhae which was founded after the fall of Goguryeo and also Goryeo which was founded after the fall of United Silla, too. 20th century Korea makes us hard to think that Korea has its superpower or regional power periods in the past.

      Also the Chinese always for more than a thousand years described Goguryeo as Korean
      1) Xu Jing (徐兢, 1091-1153) of the Northern Song Dynasty makes it clear that Goryeo was the continuation and equivalent of Goguryeo through his texts written in the Gaoli-tujing (高麗圖經). He illustrates the history of the Royal Family of Goryeo and states that the people re-founded their nation once again after the decline of their predecessors.
      2) Chinese historical texts, particularly the dynastic historical records of Chinese Dynasties, repeatedly describe Goguryeo as a part of Korean history rather than Chinese history and confirm the succession of Goguryeo by Goryeo.[98] For example, in the Yuanshi, Ming Chinese historians describe the succession of Goguryeo by Later Goguryeo and Goryeo as follows: "The King's family name was Ko. His country fell during the Ganfeng era of tha Tang. After the Chuigong era, his descendants received titles, and gradually became independent. In the Five Dynasties (Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period), they moved the country to Songak and raised a King, whose family name is Wang and first name is Geon."[99] Another example is the Mingshi, where Qing Chinese historians describe the succession of Goguryeo by Goryeo and subsequent unification of the Later Three Kingdoms as follows: "Ko, from the Buyeo people, founded a country in the land at the end of the Han Dynasty and named it Goryeo or Goguryeo, and lived in Pyeongyang...but was later defeated and forced to move east. During the Later Tang, Wang Geon succeeded Go, absorbed Silla and Baekje and moved the capital to Songak."[99] As Historian Lee Soon Keun notes, "The Jiuwudaishi was written in 973, the Songshi, Liaoshi and Jinshi in 1344, while the Mingshi was finished in 1739... The above records (which are the dynastic histories of Chinese empires) all acknowledge that Goryeo had succeeded Goguryeo. In 3-1, all the names are recorded as Goryeo except in the last instance, where it was written as Goguryeo, as in the examples mentioned above, which again shows that there was no distinction between Goryeo and Goguryeo. In other words, it is confirmed throughout China's official historical documents written after Tang that China had viewed Goguryeo's history as having been carried on by Goryeo." Lee further notes that the Mingshi and Qingshi also recognize the succession of Goguryeo by Goryeo and clearly described it.
      3) Kublai Khan regarded Goryeo as the same country as Goguryeo. By the end of the Mongol invasions of Korea, Kublai was in the middle of a power struggle with Ariq Böke whom was residing in Karakorum while Kublai himself was participating in the Chinese Campaign. Having the Goryeo crown prince come before him to concede after decades of fighting, Kublai Khan was jubilant and said "Goryeo is a country that long ago even Tang Taizong personally campaigned against but was unable to defeat. But now, its crown prince has come before me, and this be the will of heaven as it is!"
      So basically everyone except you and the fringe for 1000+ year saw Goguryeo as Korean

      In Chinese's opinion, Goguryeo ppl are ancestors of manchurians living in north east China nowadays. The ancestor of modern Korean are those peninsula tribe ppl who were conquered and slaved by Goguryeo. It's just like french or german ppl claim that their ancestor is the king of Roman empire.
      The name of a country or a man is meaningless in history research. The whole Korean history was written in Chinese characters. Would you think ancient Chinese are your ancestors?

      tbf, they weren't the biggest target, so that was their double-edged sword. So long as they were strong enough to demonstrate that either kingdom that moves against them would weaken them to the point that they would collapse against the other kingdom's invasion they were safe.
      Kingdom A invades Silla.
      a) Pyrrhic victory. Kingdom B moves against weakened Kingdom A.
      b) Complete failure. Kingdom B moves against weakened Kingdom A.
      c) Holds territory. Has to deploy huge amounts of soldiers to hold it against an complacent territory. Same result. Kingdom A invades.
      Although I'm sure there were some scenarios where one kingdom was politically unstable but no-one was confident enough to exploit that.
      That's what makes the scenario of three kingdoms so simple yet elegant in their gridlock.

    C2b+K2a(N1a+O2+O1)
    1,C2b/Northern Tungusic
    The Tungusic people are closely related to other Northern Asian populations and to the Mongols. The main haplogroup of the Ewenic peoples (Evenks, Evens, Oroqens, and Negidals) is the C2b1a2(M48)subclade (and especially its C-M86 subclade) of Haplogroup C2b.
    Besides the Ewenic peoples, C-M86 is also common among Mongols
    C2 Highest frequencies
    Oroqen 61%-91%C2b
    Evenks 12.9%- 71%C2b
    Ulchi 69%C2b
    Nivkhs 38%-71%C2b
    2,K2a-NO (M214)=N+O=N1a+O2+O1
    N1a/Northern Tungusic
    Haplogroup N Y-DNA is also found among Ewenic peoples with varying frequency. Haplogroup N Y-DNA among Evenks in the basin of the Yenisei River and the Taimyr Peninsula most often belongs to the N1a2b-P43 subclade, which they share mainly with the Samoyedic and Ugric peoples of Western Siberia.
    Haplogroup N among Evenks, Evens, and Negidals in Eastern Siberia (the basin of the Lena River and parts to its south or east) belongs mainly to the N1a1-Tat subclade, haplotypes of which they often share either with Yakut or with Buryat.
    N1 Highest frequencies
    Nenets people 56.8%N1a2b-P43,40.5% N1a1-Tat
    Nganasan people 92.11%N1a2b-P43 ,5%C,3%O
    Yakut people 94% N1a1-Tat (N1a1a1a1a4-M2019>N-M1993)
    O2+O1/ Southern Tungusic
    The modern Manchu people show relatively high amounts of Haplogroup O2, which is common among Chinese and Koreans, and Haplogroup O1b2, which is common among Japanese and Koreans.
    Korean=20%-37%O1b2+(40%O2 +15%C2)
    Japanese=35-40%D1+(30%-35%O1b2+15-20%O2)
    Sino-Tibetan
    Tibetan=51.6% D1 + 33.9% O2+ 2.6% C2
    Y-chromosome haplogroup O2-M122 is a common DNA marker in Han Chinese, as it appeared in China in prehistoric times. It is found in at least 36.7% to over 80% of Han Chinese males in certain regions.Other Y-DNA haplogroups that have been found with notable frequency in samples of Han Chinese include

    In the case of East Asian Y-DNA, it was already mutated from NO to N, O2, O1, O1a, O1b1, O1b2, etc. from 30,000 years ago, during the Ice Age. The tribes could be viewed as being of the same genetic group. Each of these gene groups walked through Sundaland and moved to various places such as East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Siberia to settle there. The gene that arrived on the Korean Peninsula about 20,000 years ago was O1b2.
    As the Ice Age ended 10,000 years ago and the Neolithic Age began, sea levels rose due to the melting glacier and the Yellow Sea was created, and O1b2 was isolated on the Korean Peninsula. This theory is supported by recently excavated bones from Gadeokdo(가덕도, 加德島) in South Korea. They turned out to be 7000 years old, and were found to be O1b2. However, genetic groups in mainland China actively interacted with each other, and from then on, genes were mixed, and a tribe became no longer a homogeneous group, but a group of the same language or culture.
    Around 2000 BC, O1b2a2a and O1b2a1 were mutated from O1b2 in south-east part of South Korea. Around 1000 BC, for some reason a part of the O1b2a1 group migrated to Japan (first Yayoi migration), where the population increased over hundreds of years.
    Around 200 BC, lots of Dongyi people from the north (Gojoseon, O2) migrated to southern part of K peninsula and founded a nation (Mahan). [Evidence: According to [後漢書], “King Jun of Joseon(Gojoseon) was defeated by Weiman, and led the remaining thousands of people through the sea, attacked Mahan, defeated Mahan, and established himself as the king of Han(韓).” According to [三國志], “With every dawn, many refugees flowed into Mahan's homeland, and Mahan was founded.”] Those migrated Dongyi (O2) mixed with the natives (O1b2). From that time, many peoples (O1b2 + O2) of K peninsula have begun to migrate to Japan (second Yayoi migration) until 660 AD when Baekjae was destroyed.
    Then, Qin migrants (O2) arrived in K peninsula and found a nation (Jinhan). [Evidence: According to [魏書 東夷傳, 後漢書], “Jinhan (辰韓) people were refugees from Qin (秦) to avoid hard labor (苦役), and Mahan allocated the eastern border (Jinhan).” According to [三國遺事], “辰韓(Jinhan) is also called 秦韓.”]
    Then, after AD, another northern Dongyi (Buyeo, O2 + C2) arrived in K peninsula and founded Goguryo and Baekje. [Evidence: According to [魏書 東夷傳], “Goguryeo was an another kind of Buyeo.” According to [後漢書], “Baekje was an another kind of Buyeo.”] That's why modern Koreans have O2(45%, Dongyi migrants from the north), O1b2(35% ~ 40%, natives), C(15%, migrants from the north).
    However, in Japan, the first Yayoi migrants were O1b2 and the second Yayoi migrants were (O1b2 + O2) (both from K peninsula). Thus, O1b2 population is two times higher than O2 (O2 arrived late on the K Peninsula). Yayoi migrants mixed with Jomon and became today’s Japanese.

      Certainly it is more important to the Korean identity due to the relative size, but it is small-minded to say that this former kingdom that lies between China and Korea whose population was divided between Silla and Tang China and whose generals served in key battles in Tang's army was not part of China's history as well. Nobody is denying the fact that it was part of Korean history.
      I think that it is a mistake for us to see our shared history as us vs them. Korea and China came from the same roots thousands of years ago - with much mutual influence - and we should celebrate this.

    O2 (O-M122) entered East Asia with the western route (Himalayan-Yunnan). And became to Sino-Tibetan O2a2b1 (M134) and Hmong-Mien O2a2a1a2 (M7).
    O1 (O-F265) They separated to 2 branch, O1a and O1b. O1a (M119) moved to Taiwan and became to Austronesians. O1b1a1a (M95) became to Austroasiatics who lived in Indo-China and O1b2 moved to Korea and Japan.
    O1b (O-M268)=O1b1+O1b2
    The broad consensus on the Urheimat (homeland) of Austronesian languages as well as the Neolithic early Austronesian peoples is accepted to be Taiwan, as well as the Penghu Islands.
    Taiwanese aborigines 89.6%O1a
    Y-chromosome haplogroup O2-M122 is a common DNA marker in Han Chinese, as it appeared in China in prehistoric times.Other Y-DNA haplogroups that have been found with notable frequency in samples of Han Chinese includ
    12,0%C2
    K2a -13,0%O1a+ + 10,3%N1+ 7,2%O1b
    K2b - 4,2%Q1
    Genetic studies have been done on the people and related groups. The Haplogroup O1 (Y-DNA)a-M119 genetic marker is frequently detected in Native Taiwanese, northern Philippines and Polynesians, as well as some people in Indonesia, Malaysia and non-Austronesian populations in southern China.
    A 2007 analysis of the DNA recovered from human remains in archaeological sites of prehistoric peoples along the Yangtze River in China also shows high frequencies of Haplogroup O1 in the Neolithic Liangzhu culture, linking them to Austronesian and Tai-Kadai peoples. The Liangzhu culture existed in coastal areas around the mouth of the Yangtze. Haplogroup O1 was absent in other archaeological sites inland.
    An important breakthrough in studies in Austronesian genetics was the identification of the "Polynesian motif" (Haplogroup B4a1a1) in 1989, a specific nine-base-pair deletion mutation in mtDNA. Several studies have shown that it is shared by Polynesians and Island Southeast Asians, with a sub-branch also identified in Madagascar, indicating shared maternal ancestry of Austronesians.
    Austronesian-speaking regions also have high to moderate frequencies of Haplogroup O1 of the Y-DNA (including Madagascar) indicating shared paternal ancestry, with the exception of Polynesia where the Papuan-derived Haplogroup C1b2a1a (P33) predominates (although lower frequencies of Austronesian Haplogroup O2-M122 also exist).

      And it means that Joseon is a country where only the ruling class has changed from Goryeo, and that the meaning of today's Korea is larger than that of the three kingdoms, including Goguryeo.

      Good question Baekje had the most and best farmland and most population for most of the period. It was not till the time Goguryeo most the capital to Pyongyang when there population might have been equal or higher (also taking land from Baekje). The wealth question is hard I think it changed drastically depending on what point in time it was...Silla very slowly and gradually became the most wealthy but Baekje and Goguryeo had their time of prominence and well.

  • @OYT0724
    @OYT0724 5 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Very nice video. A few things to note:
    1. Unlike the map, recent archeological finds in 2014 suggest Gojoseon was originally located in Chinese Liaoning Province, where Yan kingdom eventually occupied. This makes sense since history books write Yan invaded Gojoseon's western territories and taken over its vast lands.
    2. After the Tang-Silla alliance defeated Goguryeo, Tang tried vassalizing Silla thinking Silla wouldn't have the manpower to resist large occupational forces. To Tang's surprise, Silla was able to pursuade Goguryeo refugees to fight on their side and immediately launched a counter attack against Tang.
    Silla eventually won, pushing back the Tang forces past the Liao river which was Goguryeo's old border with Tang (aka old Yan/Gojoseon territory). After the victory Silla tried absorbing all civilian population from the three kingdoms. However, 20 years later a group of enslaved Goguryans and Manchurian nomads escaped from Tang territories and into old Goguryeo lands. They refuse to join Silla and formed their own kingdom which becomes Balhae. The 3 way split of Unified Silla mentioned in video took place 200 years after the founding of Balhae.
    3. At 3:20, it's unclear which kingdom is being referring as densely populated.
    4. Gaya people have a part Tamil Indian ancestry. Records write Gayan King Kim Suro married a queen who travelled acrossed the seas from a land called Ayuta and brought many servants and followers with her. Most importantly, early Gaya founders were found to possess ironwork skills when rest of the Korean tribes still used Bronze technology.

So I try to use Roman emperors as time-markers but that doesn't always work either. The visual maps and such here were very helpful to me. Visiting the historical sites here is also often not helpful as generally there have rebuild within the past few decades and look extremely similar as a result.

    The name of Korea comes from Goguryeo (BC 37 or 3rd century - AD 668), the name of which had been later changed by its king into Goryeo, or/and Goguryeo was sometimes called Goryeo, even before Silla unified three kingdoms(Goguryeo, Baekje[BC 18 - AD 660], smaller Silla[BC 57-AD 676]). Some rulers of Goguryeo founded Balhae (sometimes called Jin or Goryeo) with Goguryeo refugees and Jurchens(=proto-Manchus) in the former Goguryeo territory after the fall of Goguryeo, claiming it to be a successor of Goguryeo.
    Goguryeo or the "first" Goryeo originated from Buyeo, and Buyeo was founded near the place of Go-Joseon. "Old" Joseon or Go-Joseon was the first Korean kingdom and its name was just "Joseon" at its time, but for distinguishing from "later"/"Yi" Joseon, it is now called "Go(=old)-Joseon". Baekje came from the royal family of Goguryeo.
    When greater/unified Silla (AD 676 - 935) weakened later, "new" Goryeo replaced the unified Silla, claiming that the new royal court succeeded "old" Goryeo (i.e., Goguryeo). When Balhae fell in the north, rulers and refugees of Balhae were accepted by newly founded Goryeo. "New" Goryeo (AD 918-1392) was a trade country where even muslim merchants came for businesses from the Middle East and its name was known to foreign countries as "Core", "Corea", and current "Korea" etc.
    "Yi" Joseon (1392-1897)replaced "new" Goryeo, with the same name of the "old" Joseon kingdom.
    Sum: Go("old")-Joseon->Buyeo->three kingdoms->greater Silla (+ Balhae in the North, which also claimed to succeed the fallen Goguryeo, but when Balhae fell later, its rulers were accepted by "new" Goryeo)-> "new" Goryeo -> "Yi" Joseon or just Joseon -> 20th century history of colonialism(1910-1945), provisional government (1919-45), division into north/south Koreas(1945-), Korean republic-building, north/south (1948-), and war in 1950-3, and now.

      20 years ago, Koreans stole the murals and murals and of Chinese Goguryeo in China 20 years ago. Some unearthed cultural relics, creating a large number of fake history and historical TV series, this is very shameful.
      In 2003, China had applied for UNESCO to apply for the legacy of Goguryeo King City, king Tombs and aristocratic tombs, and was agreed. In fact, as early as 3 years ago, Korea applied for UNESCO. But it was rejected.
      Because Goguryeo is the history of the Han people in northern China. It is not Korean history and culture at all.
      * UNESCO = the United Nations Teaching and Science Organization
      * The people of goguryeo (and Baekje, Silla) are wearing Chinese han Clothing. They believe in Taiist Culture, Dragon Culture and Chinese God Beasts.
      The founder of Goguryeo, Jumong(朱蒙) is actually Chinese pronunciation.
      Goguryeo is 100%of the history of the Han nation in northern China. Like the relationship between Taiwan and Hong Kong today (because of the disagreement of political reasons), they believe in Taoism and wearing Chinese Hanfu and Han culture. 20 years ago, Koreans stole the murals and murals and of Chinese Goguryeo in China 20 years ago. Some unearthed cultural relics, creating a large number of fake history and historical TV series, this is very shameful.
      Baekje, SILLA is not 100% is the history and cultural relics of Koreans. Their royal and senior personnel are not Koreans. Most of them are members of the northern Han nationality, while the lower levels and civilians are Koreans. They are wearing white and women's clothes show their nipples.
      Goryeo's founding king-Wang Jian (王建).
      Wang Jian (王建) is very obviously the immigrants or descendants of the Han people (whether the culture of clothes is the Han culture), this possibility is quite high.
      Because Wang Jian is the descendant of the Chinese (Han), the regime he has established follows the abbreviation of the ancient country Goguryeo, as the new national name Goryeo. The North Korean people at the southern end of the peninsula were called as workers and slaves (wearing pure white clothes and women to show nipples). Later, they became the civilians of Goryeo.
      The history of the Korean nation is the history of slave. They have never sovereignty.
