According to the royal history in Samgukyusa, they are an uncle and his nephew in a five-chon relation. Most of previous studies reported that they were an uncle and his nephew since King Jijeung was 24 years older than King Soji. They are, however, second cousins in the same generation of the royal family. The age gap of 24 years between them is due to the fact that King Soji was born between King Jabi that married a daughter of Misaheun in his middle forties. \u0000King Jabi and Lady Josaeng were brother and sister born in the 410s. Lady Josaeng gave birth to King Jijeung at the age of 20 or so in 437. King Jabi had King Soji in 461 in his middle or late forties. These facts offer an explanation about the age gap between the two kings. Samguksagi wrote that King Jijeung was an uncle of King Soji instead of his second cousin probably because King Soji was in the direct line of King Nulji that was the late king before King Jijeung. \u0000Samgukyusa records the history of King Jabi and his royal family, stating “The queen was a daughter of King Galmun of Paho or Mijilhee Gakgan or □□ Gakgan.” Many previous studies understood that “King Galmun of Paho = Mijihee Gakgan = Miheun Gakgan” based on these records, having different opinions on whether he is Bokho or Misaheun. The opinion arguing that he was Misaheun led to a conclusion that he was King Galmun, having huge impacts on researches on King Galmun and the Bu system. However, Paho is Bokho, and Mijilhee is Misaheun. These two different lines of transmission derive from King Jabi that married a daughter of Bokho at a proper age for marriage and remarried a daughter of Misaheun in his middle or late forties. Since no Misaheun became King Galmun, previous studies that reviewed King Glamun and the Bu system based on the idea that Misaheun was King Galmun need to have a reconsideration. \u0000The queen of King Soji was Seonhye, a daughter of Naesuk Lee Beol-chan in the Enthronement of Soji Maripgan in Samguksagi and a daughter of King Galmun of Gibo in the History of the Royal Family in Samgukyusa. Many previous studies raised a possibility that Naesuk and Gibo were the same person. In addition, many interpreted that King Jijeung, a son of Gibo(Seupbo), was a brother of Lady Seonhye, a daughter of Naesuk and that King Jijeung eliminated King Soji to seize power after Lady Seonhye was sentenced to death after the Sageumgap event.

These two incidents are oftentimes referred to collectively as the Purges of the Shin & Im Years(“Shin’im Oksa, 辛壬獄事”). It was as a whole a political incident of an unforeseen magnitude that involved a controversy regarding the succession line of the Joseon royal family, fueled by a long overdue conflict from the Noron and Soron party members’ years of clashing with each other over potential successors for the Joseon throne. \u0000Female members of the Joseon royal family during King Gyeongjong’s reign acted differently from each other, and displayed political choices of their own according to their respective interests and situations. For example, in a rather murky political environment, Queens In’weon and Seon’eui, who both had no sons to claim themselves as heirs(後嗣) to Gyeongjong, chose to side with political factions other than their own, and tried to establish a leading position for themselves in the issue of deciding the next one in line for the Joseon throne. Dowager Queen In’weon was from the Soron faction, but she actively supported the Noron faction’s plan to establish the King’s younger brother as successor to the throne and have the Dowager Queen supervise the government’s operations. Her pro-Noron actions at the time seems to have been due to her intentions to uphold her late husband King Sukjong(肅宗, r.1674-1720)’s notion of ‘Samjong Hyeolmaek(三宗血脈).’ Reversely, Queen Seon’eui from the Noron faction did not share the faction’s political stance, and intended to preserve her husband King Gyeongjong’s line, by adopting a male child from within the royal family. \u0000In the meantime, Royal concubine Yeongbin Kim decided to go with her family’s Noron position, and befriended Dowager Queen In’weon, while volunteering herself as an emissary between Dowager Queen In’weon, Prince Yeon’ing(延礽君, later King Yeongjo, r.1724-1776), and the Noron faction. Her alliance with Queen In’weon and her actions behind the curtain was intended to help ensure the safety of her adopted son Prince Yeon’ing and herself, and ultimately support Yeon’ing on his way to the throne. \u0000The efforts of these three females all turned out to be relatively successful, at least at some point. Dowager Queen In’weon managed to name Prince Yeon’ing as the Royal brother of the King[王世弟] and Successor of the throne, shielding herself and others from any political retribution of the Soron faction which had been arguing to guard King Gyeongjong. On the other hand, Queen Seon’eui was able to thwart the planned supervision of the g","PeriodicalId":104116,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Society of the History of Historiography","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114322846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Looking at the proportion, it was mostly focused on empirical research. Among the majority of excellent papers, there were also many papers of poor quality. The biggest problem is the lack of quantitative results due to the absolute lack of environmental history researchers. At the same time, the concentration of researchers who account for the majority of Western environmental history research in Korea by German history researchers is also emerging as a serious problem.

The people's lives were miserable due to the continuous famine and excessive labor, the burden of military service between the Ming and Joseon forces, and the spread of the plague across the country. In addition, as they were mobilized for acid contraction in each region under the guise of defending against Japan's re-invasion, the dissension of public sentiment intensified. In this situation, people's distrust and dissatisfaction with the ruling class expanded, causing riots in various places including Chungcheong Province. \u0000Among the revolts that occurred in the Hoseo area during the Imjin War, the largest and most influential rebellion was the Rebellion of Lee Mong-Hak (?~1596, Hometown: Jeonju) that occurred in July 1596 (29th year of King Seonjo). Compared to the accidental or unorganized rebellion that occurred in the early days of the Imjin War with dissatisfaction with the exploitation and corruption of the leaders, it showed a completely different aspect in scale and organization, such as insisting on the overthrow of the dynasty. \u0000The attitude towards the rebellion differed according to the class. From the point of view of the ruled class, they would have thought of it as a revolution to create a new world by replacing the incompetent ruling class who only engaged in extortion and exploitation. From the point of view of the ruling class, it was just a rebellion that directly challenged the maintenance of the dynasty's system and order during a disturbance. Interpretation of history may differ according to the passage of time, and that is why the evaluation of a specific event at that time and in the future also differs depending on the author.","PeriodicalId":104116,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Society of the History of Historiography","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130124662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author comes up with plausible and/or tentative conclusions as followings: First, Western missionaries contributed to building a solid foundation of Korean aesthetic discourse by drawing a periodization according to artistic achievement, selecting literary·artistic cannons, and classifying·cataloging major works/writers, thus stimulating the launch of the so-called “Choseon Studies Movement” by Korean intellectuals during Japanese colonial era. Second, many concerned Western missionaries agreed that Koreans managed to maintain its own authentic/original aesthetic tradition, distinguished from China and Japan.

He thought that Samhan led to the Three Kingdoms and the Kija led to Mahan, and he is pointing to the Taedong River as the land of the Kija. \u0000Kwon Do's view of the place name of the past in the Korean peninsula is getting stronger, but the early Goguryeo is rather confirmed in the land of Liaodong. This tendency continues in Yongbieocheonga. In Yongbieocheonga, most of the place names appearing in the process of establishing Goguryeo are confirmed in the Korean peninsula, and Balhae is connected with Malgal. Centralism on the Korean Peninsula is strengthening in Yongbieocheonga. \u0000Kwon Lam's book, in the Ungjesiju, the confidence of Joseon in the stabilization period is reflected, and the record of the uprising with China is recorded in detail.

{"title":"A Study on the Environmental History of China by Korean Scholars from the Perspective of History of Historiography","authors":"S. Kim","doi":"10.29186/kjhh.2022.46.49","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29186/kjhh.2022.46.49","url":null,"abstract":"This paper was prepared to review the study of Chinese environmental history written by Korean scholars from a perspective of history of historiography. Environmental history research strongly criticizes current history, but at the same time, environmental history can contribute to making history more like history. I thought so on the following three points. \u0000First, China's environmental history aims for a total history. To this end, an integrated understanding of conflicting issues such as development and environment, and material culture and mental culture is being attempted. It is also trying to understand transnational history beyond national history through disaster and climate history research. Such an integrated understanding of history can have important significance in that it reflects on the history of development and the history of looking only positively at the spread of material civilization. \u0000Second, in the study of Chinese environmental history by Korean historians, it was difficult to see the deterministic view that environment and climate change determine history. Looking at historical research on disasters and relief, the process of overcoming and responding to disasters was mainly studied by researchers. It was found that climate change did not affect only one direction. For example, during the Little Ice Age, the fishery resources of the sea became rather abundant, filling the stomachs of the hungry people of that period. In addition, through the study of Manchuria, the Qing Dynasty's border area, it was found that the ecological environment of the border area was not just natural, but also an imperial border area formed by the imperial strategy and domination intention. In other words, a new perspective on the empire's ruling system was presented through environmental history. \u0000Third, the reason why environmental history research can have a new perspective can be found in that it is introducing new protagonists in history in nature, not humans. Various main characters, including pathogens, trees, animals, and climate, appeared as the main characters of Chinese environmental history research. As such, the higher the understanding of things other than humans, that is, nature, the richer the understanding of human history.","PeriodicalId":104116,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Society of the History of Historiography","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127734479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a premodern society, population growth is generally a byproduct of either a long-term increase in agricultural productivity or a steady influx of wealth through international trade. When such an economic growth is prolonged, a sort of population pressure takes place. If a society fails to breakthrough population pressure with either a new economic power or a new land for outmigration, it could stop economic growing or fall into poverty as we can see the case of nineteenth-century Qing China. During the so-called Little Ice Age in Korea, covering from the turn of the 1600s to the mid-1700s, let alone China and Japan, population grew remarkably in spite of chronic natural disaster and great famine, suggesting that the impact of the Little Ice Age on Korean society in a long term view was somewhat exaggerated. In this review article I challenge the current uses of the Little Ice Age theory in Korean academia of history.","PeriodicalId":104116,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Society of the History of Historiography","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117274524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
