잃어버린 이름 '동해'를 찾아서 - 왜 '동해' 병기인가?
Restoring the Lost Name East Sea : Why East Sea Should Be Equally Accepted? Last August Korea found itself in a whirlwind of uproar over Dokdo and the East Sea. Three Japanese lawmakers from the Liberal Democratic Party, including Shindo Yoshitaka, attempted to land on Uleungdo, an island next to Dokdo; it was enough to provoke Koreans who are quite sensitive to the sovereignty issue of Dokdo. Then the Japanese government released its Defense White Paper that claims its sovereignty over Dokdo, and it was like pouring oil on the fire. An onslaught of strong emotions swept the country with people condemning Japan for its ambition to usurp Dokdo and blaming the Korean government for its incompetence to deal with the situation properly; the whole country was caught up in the controversy of Dokdo sovereignty. Now, the media is bombarding the issue of the name East Sea.

8세기 동아시아의 역사상
The History of 8th Century East Asia East Asia in the 8th century enjoyed unusual peace and prosperity within the regional structure formed with Tang in the center. The period saw Silla, Balhae and Japan making unprecedentedly frequent communications with Tang, and although Silla and Balhae were hostile towards each other, both maintained close relations with Japan. Within this regional order, remarkable progress was made in the areas of cultural exchanges and trades between countries in the region.

Sun Wen, the Icon of 20th Century Chinese Nationalism This year marks the 100th year of the Xinhai Revolution [辛亥革命], which occurred in China in October 1911.

Conferences are being held everywhere in Korea and elsewhere, commemorating the centennial of this historic event. Why is this revolution, which overthrew the Manchu-founded Qing Empire and established the Republic of China, celebrated? It is because the Xinhai Revolution overthrew the imperial monarchy that ruled China over 2,000 years and founded for the first time in East Asia, a republic. The republican ideology of the revolution not only became the ideological root of the Chinese national state later but also spread to other countries in East Asia that were suffering imperial aggressions and became the seed of nationalist movements.rew the Manchu-founded Qing Empire and established the Republic of China, celebrated?

발해 염주성의 쑥대밭과 고누
Balhae Yeomju Castle's Unkempt Field and Gonu The NAHF conducted a joint excavation with Russia's Institute of History, Archeology, and Ethnology at the site of Yeomju [鹽州] Castle of Balhae located in Kraskino in the south of Russia's Primorsky Krai for one month, from mid July to mid August. Yeomju is one of the 62 prefectures [州] that Balhae installed. The region bridged Balhae with Silla and Japan via the East Sea and with Tang and countries beyond the west of China through various inner land paths. From the excavation work this time, we have found the evidence of a set of shared sections inside the city that connect cart-traveling roads, houses with ondols (ondol: Korean underfloor heating system), and buildings. The high hilltop of the Yeomju site provides an open view of the sea southward, and it tells us the reason why Balhae built and managed a castle here.

Why did the Koguryo people build so many mountain fortresses? Question When I hear the word Koguryo, the image that pops up in my mind is a long, strapping stretch of a mountain fortress following the ridge of the mountain. Why did the Koguryo people build so many mountain fortresses?
