재물을 주고 조공을 구걸한 이야기

Begging for Tributes with Gifts Theoretically, a tribute is gifts given to the suzerain state by the vassal state. It is thus natural to assume that the process of making tribute would involve painstaking care and respect. However, if large amounts of goods were sometimes given to cajole a state to pay tribute, the tributary-investiture system may not be quite what its name implies, requiring a reassessment of the East Asian world order that had been founded on this system.

"한국사의 미래를 위한 한국전쟁사가 필요하다"

"We need a 'Korean War history' for the future of Korean history" Sixty years have passed since the outbreak of the Korean War, yet its aftermath still has a dominating influence on the lives of all the constituents of the Korean peninsula. Most research on Korean War history has tended to focus on the origins, outbreak, and process of the war. In the meantime, there has been a dearth of studies analyzing the war based on the framework of international political history. We interviewed Professor Ha Young-sun of the Seoul National University's Department of International Studies for a new perspective on the Korean War and Korea's future task in East Asia.

10~18세기 북방민족과 정복왕조 연구

Study on the Northern Races and the Conquest Dynasties, 10th-18th Centuries The Northern Races (Khitan, Tangut, Jurchen, Mongol, Manchu) and the conquest dynasties they founded—i.e., Liao, Western Xia, Jin, Yuan, Qing—were often considered “barbarians” that invaded and destroyed advanced neighboring cultures. The northern peoples, drawing on their commanding military power comprising of superior cavalry, built huge empires extending across Inner Asia, including not only China but also Manchuria and Mongolia. Nevertheless, they were seen as having lost their identities, having assimilated into the “advanced” culture of the people(s) they had conquered. Thus, regarded as having been absorbed by China, the Northern Races have come to be considered “ethnic minorities” comprising the “Chinese nation,” and their conquest dynasties as stages in the dynastic history of “China.”However, approaching Chinese history from the framework of linear progression or cultural assimilation distorts the nature of the history of the Northern Races and the conquest dynasties.

혜초, 열린 마음으로 세계를 받아들인 구도자

Hyecho: A Truth-Seeker Who Embraced the World with an Open Mind This is a verse written by Hyecho [慧超], who visited the distant lands of India and Central Asia nearly 1,300 years ago and left behind a famous account of his journey. The verse was written during his long and treacherous travels, expressing his longing for Silla, his homeland, and Tang, where he had studied. Even today, the verse is poignant and moving.

동아시아 역사 교과서, 오해와 편견을 넘어서

Beyond Misunderstanding and Prejudice: East Asian History Textbook Around mid-March of last year, a Japanese colleague asked me to participate in an academic project comparing the history education of Korea, China, and Japan in order to shed light on the question "Why do East Asian nations still remain at odds and fail to trust each other?" In 2005, History to Open the Future was published simultaneously in China, Japan and Korea. This publication was significant in that it was the first the first time East Asia modern history was jointly written by scholars from all three nations. The participants of the project wanted to see how the contents in this book differed from those in the history textbooks used in each nation.

가나자와에서 마주친 한반도의 아픈 역사

Encountering the Painful History of the Korean Peninsula in Kanazawa From April 26 to 29, I went on a three-day trip to Kanazawa [金澤] in Ishikawa [石川] prefecture, Japan. Located 255km northeast of Osaka, Kanazawa is a coastal city (facing the East Sea) with a population of 460,000 and functions as a hub of the Hokuriku [北陸] region. This was not my first stay as I had previously taken up residence in Kanazawa for 10 years from 1995 to 2005. I am sometimes reminded of the region's tasty cuisine and tranquility.

한·일 지식인 공동선언 발표 현장에서

At the Scene of the Joint Declaration by Korean and Japanese Intellectuals On May 10, 213 Korean and Japanese intellectuals almost simultaneously issued a joint declaration in Seoul and Tokyo, invalidating Japan's annexation of the Korea in 1910. I rushed to the Seoul Press Center, where the Korean intellectuals were issuing the joint declaration, and was lucky enough to witness firsthand a momentous historic occasion.
