과거를 직시하며 현재 세계를 꿰뚫어 보는 통찰력
Face the Past with Insight into the World of Today Walking is all the rage these days. It is one of the easiest and most effective ways to keep your body and mind healthy. Just put one foot in front of the other, and you will move forward. Walking steadily in one direction will bring anyone back to where they started, because the world is round. As time goes by, everything in the world will go round and round, too. People go through one thing after another in their lives, and their experience is not much different from that of those who came before them. The same goes for what society goes through, given that it is an organization of people. It is true what they say about learning from the past or learning from history. Those who forget the past have no future. Coming back to walking in one direction, you will pass through different countries in the process, first in the neighborhood, like China or Japan, and then oceans away, like the United States, Germany, or France. Maybe Iran or Russia, too. But can you imagine walking through the

"상호협력 관계 구축으로, 해외 한국학 진흥에 힘을 보태야"
"Forge Partnerships to Promote Korean Studies Overseas" Editor's Note: The Northeast Asian History Foundation publishes over forty books each year, research books and books for the general public, and distributes them to public libraries and research institutions for Korean studies in countries around the world, as well as in Korea, in an effort to make our research findings regarding historical and territorial issues widely known to the international community. The institutions overseas to which the NAHF's books are distributed include a number of libraries affiliated with CEAL (Council on East Asian Libraries). Miree Ku, Chair of the Committee on Korean Materials (CKM) of CEAL, was in Chicago to attend the 2015 AAS (Association of Asian Studies) and CEAL Annual Conference held from March 24 to 29, 2015, and she gave an interview to Kang, Jeung Mi, the Public Relations Team Manager at the NAHF, to discuss ways of cooperating between the two institutions.

Balhae, or Jin-guk at Mount Dongmo ▲ A royal portrait of King Go Dae Jo-    yeong presented by the Committee    for the Production of National    Standard Royal PortraitsBalhae! It is the country founded by the displaced people of Koguryo after its fall. What comes to mind when you hear this name? Having coexisted with Silla during what is referred to as the Period of the Southern and Northern Kingdoms, Balhae is an indisputable part of Korean history. Wang Geon, the founder of Goryeo, severed the relationship with the Khitans who destroyed Balhae, calling them a people less than a beast, and welcomed the displaced people of Balhae with open arms when they fled into Goryeo, so much so that they even asked Goryeo for help in their revival movement. As studies have already confirmed, Wang Geon received a great deal of human and material support from the displaced people of Balhae while integrating the Later Three Kingdoms. In other words, the displaced people of Balhae and Goryeo coexisted in what can be called an extende

윤관(尹瓘), 여진 정벌과 영토 개척의 꿈
Yoon Kwan and His Dreams of Conquering Jurchen and Expanding His Country's Territory The History of Goryeo includes a biography of Yoon Kwan (尹瓘, ?~1111) which is mostly about his campaigns to conquer Jurchen. Goryeo made two attempts at the conquest of Jurchen, one during the days of King Sukjong and the other during the days of King Yejong. Yoon Kwan fought in battle against the Jurchens at both times. He was close to both kings and dreaming of expanding his country's territory by conquering Jurchen. "Let me command the army to destroy the enemy's fortresses so I can restore honor for my country by expanding its territory," he said. The Jurchens were living scattered across northeast Goryeo. While many of them stayed in their original habitation and depended on Goryeo for a living, some of them chose to immigrate into Goryeo and naturalize as its citizens. Goryeo provided these immigrants with houses and land so that they could settle down and make a living. This situation would change when the Wanyan tribe (完顔部) began to unify the rest of the Jurchens during the day

How Ancient Japan Perceived and Exchanged with KoreaTracing Ancient Japan's Subjective Perception of History and its Origin ▲ 연민수 지음│역사공간│2014│630쪽There is a tendency to often blame the distortion of ancient Korean history on modern colonial history, but its cause is rooted in the records of ancient Japanese history. At the time when Unified Silla was established, the king of Wa created the title of king 'Tenno (Emperor)' and the name of country 'Nihon (Japan).' At the same time, he compiled The Nihon Shoki (The Chronicles of Japan) to assert the justification, legitimacy, and timelessness of rule by the Emperor. This historical book is a strong reflection of the view of history that Japan ruled over the Korean Peninsula. The book is based on the thought (內官家) that many states in the Korean Peninsula were under the direct control of the Emperor, and it describes them as Japan's tributary states and savage countries.This view of history, formed at a time when Japan's national consciousness was at its peak, continued into modern times. In modern colonial history, The Nihon Shoki was used as the basic material

독립을 향한 선열의 절규와 의지가 서린 서대문형무소
Seodaemun Prison, where the Patriots Crying Out for Independence Suffered and Died There is a red bricked building surrounded by high walls on Tongil Road in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. A history hall today, it was originally built as Korea's first modern prison in October 1908 by design of the Japanese architect Shitenno Kazuma. It was called 'Kyungsung Gamok (meaning jail or prison in Kyungsung (Seoul))' at the time of its opening, but renamed later as 'Seodaemun Gambok' in 1912 to distinguish it from another prison under construction in Seoul, specifically in Gongdeok-dong Mapo-gu. The name Seodaemun Prison was adopted in May 1923.Built after the Korean Empire gave up its judicial power to Japan under the unequal treaty of 1907, the Seodaemun Prison is the site of a history that represents the suffering and reality of the Korean people whose nation had lost its sovereignty. This prison increased its size by more than thirty times, from 1,600㎡ at the time of its completion to 51,200㎡ in 1923, through continued expansion and renovation beginning from 1919. With this fact a
