Abolition of family register system and class system
The family register system was introduced during the Japanese colonial period.During the Joseon Dynasty of the Yi Dynasty, even lowly people who did not have a surname and were not recognized as human beings were given surnames and registered as they did not need to write their status. As a result, the class system will be abolished. The details listed in the family register on the Korean Peninsula are as follows.
Koseki adopted in Korea
Regular address
Previous head of household
Relationship with head of household
Father's first and last name
Mother's first and last name
Relationship of head of household
Honkan of the head of the household
Name and last name of head of household
Date of birth of head of household
Mother - The information is the same as the head of the household is the same as the head of the household
Wife - details are the same as for head of household
Relatives such as descendants - Information to be filled out is the same as for the head of household.
Same spouse - Information to be filled out is the same as for the head of family register
System considering Korean customs
7. honkan is a name representing a clan unique to the Korean Peninsula, and this name was maintained. Seven items are missing from Japan's family register. The principle of non-marriage with the same surname was maintained as a system unique to the Korean Peninsula. The son-in-law adoption system was introduced following Japan. Changes were made to allow female heads of household registration. The reason behind the name change is that the Korean Peninsula believed in Confucianism, so the husband and wife had different surnames. This was an attempt to create a Japanese-style surname to represent the family, and it was application system . This is explained in the image posted. Rather than depriving people of their Korean names, they gave surnames to people who didn't have them and abolished the need to list people's identities. And it's not compulsory in the first place.
Diffusion of school education system
By abolishing the class system, children were able to attend school without distinction of status. The purpose of introducing the school education system was to create an educational environment for all children. The female enrollment rate in primary education increased from 6.3% in 1911 to 33.1% in 1941.
Remarks by Seisuke Okuno, a then-Home Affairs bureaucrat
When Hiromu Nonaka criticized Aso's remark at the Liberal Democratic Party's general meeting (remarks that the name change was requested by Koreans), Seisuke Okuno, who was present at the meeting, said, ``Nonaka-kun, you may not know this because you are young, but Aso...'' What you say is 100% correct.It was difficult to do business if we kept our Korean name.There were many complaints like that, so we decided to change our name to Mr. So.The stamp was given by a Home Affairs bureaucrat. It's me ''.
Korean tribe spread in Manchuria
Many ethnic Koreans still live in the Manchurian region of the time, but northern Korea was unsuitable for agriculture and was subject to repeated floods and droughts. As Japan's influence expanded, many Koreans moved to Manchuria in search of farmland. They wanted a Japanese name because they would be bullied by the Manchurians if they said they were Korean. If you are Japanese, you can have a big face .
Read it together
The concept of national boundaries became clear after the Sino - Japanese War, an area where the Korean people spread across northeastern China.
Korean people distributed over a wide area
Liaodong Peninsula is subject to triple intervention
The north was not suitable for agriculture
Koreans who wanted a Japanese name
Manchukuo aimed at five-family harmony
Agreed between the Japanese and Korean governments
The Korean people (Korean language group) are scattered in China's Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Liaoning provinces. The reason is simple: Historically, Koreans lived in this area. It was an area outside the Great Wall of China, and there was no concept of strict borders at the time. It is still fresh in my memory that Koreans, an ethnic minority in China, performed at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics wearing chimajeogori.
During the Goguryeo period, the Korean ethnic group lived as far as the Liaodong Peninsula. At the time of the Sino-Japanese War, Japan claimed possession of the Liaodong Peninsula. This idea was based on the idea that the Liaodong Peninsula was Korean territory and had strategic implications for China, but this was abolished due to trilateral intervention by France, Germany, and Russia, who felt threatened by the fact that it was too close to Beijing. I decided to abandon it.
It can be said that this was the first time that the concept of Korean territory and borders was created. During the Japanese colonial period, northern Korea was unsuitable for agriculture and was developed mainly for industry. Southern Korea is mainly agricultural.
Farmers from the north migrated to Manchuria in search of farmland. Manchuria received plenty of rain and was better suited for agriculture than northern Korea. The Manchurians were the landowners in this area, and many troubles occurred frequently.
Therefore, Koreans in the north wanted Japanese names very much. This is because if you use your Japanese name, you won't be bullied by Manchurians.
After that, the state of Manchukuo was established after the Liuzhou Lake Incident. The founding principle of Manchukuo was the harmony of the five ethnic groups: Japanese, Han, Korean, Manchurian, and Mongolian.
As a result, Koreans were safe from persecution and their agricultural land was greatly expanded. If you compare the residential areas of Manchukuo and the Korean people, you will find that they are roughly the same.
Manchukuo, which celebrated the harmony of the five tribes
Manchukuo is a Japanese puppet state whose emperor is Aixinjuoro Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing dynasty. Many Japanese people also immigrated at that time. The founding idea of Manchukuo was harmony of the five tribes of the Japanese, Han Chinese, Koreans, Manchurians, and Mongolians. In other words, these five tribes lived together in this area.

Kim Ok - kyun and Lee Joseon Kim Ok-kyun, not Ahn Jung-geun, was the hero if you think about the world at that time.If he had defeated Lee and laid the way for modernization, he would have become a Sun Yat-sen of the Korean Peninsula.Kim Ok-kyun was assassinated in Shanghai, but Queen Min feared that the Joseon dynasty would be overthrown.
The assassination took place on March 28, 1894.The Sino-Japanese War broke out on July 25, 1894, and less than half a year later, Qing, who supported Queen Min, was defeated by Japan and the Korean Peninsula became a protectorate of Japan.The Korean Peninsula failed to shed its former dynastic state.It was impossible to modernize while taking over the old Joseon Dynasty.Far from staying, the world trend has accelerated, and the Joseon dynasty has not changed a bit.
It was Seo Jae-pil, Kim Ok-kyun's brother, who celebrated the independence of his motherland.It has nothing to do with the Joseon Dynasty or the Korean Empire.
History closed due to the abolition of kanji - Korean education that does not know history and cannot read history.
In South Korea, it is said that if you don't know history, you won't be able to become a fine adult. History is one of the subjects in Japan, and many science and math students don't like history and don't study it much. At least I don't think that I can't become a fine adult.
There is a question as to whether Koreans are actually interested in history. The problem, rather than differences in historical understanding, is the method of approach. It is said that the Korean peninsula was colonized by Japan, but it is strange why we do not learn about the history of the development of the Korean peninsula. History is all about learning both sides, but in South Korea, only the story of being ruled and oppressed appears.
Who are the Japanese who introduced history, civil engineering, engineering, chemistry, medicine, and various other social infrastructures and social systems, and what kind of person is that person? Although these things remain as historical facts, they are never adopted in history and are dismissed. Would it be possible to learn history without learning that? The best approach to studying history is to look directly at the Korean Peninsula of that era and think from that perspective.
They only shout that they were ruled by Japan, but the facts that developed during that time are hidden. History education is about learning both.
What about Japanese rule in Asia? If you compare the colonial forms under Japanese rule in Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Palau, Vietnam, etc., you should be able to see the Japanese style of colonial management at the time, but it seems that South Korea does not have that perspective. There doesn't seem to be any.
Speaking of colonies, what is the difference from Western colonies? When did it start and what process did it take to spread to Asia? Even though they are called Western countries, Britain, France, and the Netherlands have different colonial management styles. The concept of history that South Korea presents to Japan is fixed and does not have a multifaceted perspective. It is a one-dimensional understanding of history that begins with Japanese rule, and since even China does not enter into it, it is not Oriental history either. Or even seen as creative history.
Materials from the Japanese colonial period are kept in Japan. Of course, it was written in the Japanese of the time. Minutes and resolutions are public documents and can be viewed by the general public. This means that the information is accessible even to Koreans who can read Japanese. In order to understand the Japanese colonial period, Korean historians should have access to it, but this is not the approach at all. So when you ask them what kind of materials their historical claims are based on, nothing comes out.
I wonder if there are any historians in Korea who can't read kanji? South Korea abolished kanji in 1970, and the generations after that were unable to read kanji. If you can't read kanji, you won't be able to read history from the Japanese colonial period or even before that.
The abolition of Chinese characters is also greatly involved in Korean historical awareness. If you can't read kanji, you won't even be able to access past documents.
Japan organized the history of the Korean peninsula, and Korea eliminated it and created its own history.
It was Japan that organized the history of the Korean Peninsula. Until then, various documents had simply been stored in that location. Systematized from the perspective of modern history. In addition to Japanese historians such as Iwakichi Inaba, Yasukazu Suematsu, and Hidetaka Nakamura, intellectuals and cultural figures from the Korean peninsula such as Hong Hui, Lee Yong-wha, Choi Nam-seon, and Lee Byeong-yeon also participated, for a total of 41 people. Climb to the top. Japanese scholars generously taught intellectuals on the Korean Peninsula the ways of thinking and systematizing modern history.
There are 4,950 materials borrowed from visits throughout the Korean Peninsula, Japan and Manchuria, 1,623 copies of selected important items, and 3,500 used books that serve as historical sources for the text.
After the war, these historical books were created under Japanese rule, and were rejected as a colonial view of history. Instead, an ethnic view of history created by Korean Peninsulars themselves emerged and was introduced into school education. Not only historians, but also the pro-Japanese factions were ostracized from society, saying that they were trying to get rid of all the bad things they had done. This ethnic view of history has led to the unfounded history that leads to the present day.
Not only in history editing, but in all fields, modern technology and learning brought from Japan were rejected as something brought by postwar Japan. The people who were involved in these events are also ostracized as vestiges of the schedule.
In other words, there were many people who helped the development of the Korean peninsula at the time of Japan's annexation of Korea. Historiography, which was established after the war by eliminating dissenters, is far from an academic approach in the first place. Children on the Korean Peninsula today are learning a story that is a continuation of a national historical perspective that lacks objectivity.
His political career was against the assassination of Hirobumi Ito and the annexation of Japan and Korea. The Theory of Conquering Korea and the Political Change of 1896.
On October 26, 1909, Hirobumi Ito was shot dead at Harbin Station. Ito was always against the annexation of the Korean Peninsula. It was Hirobumi Ito who specified the independence of the Korean peninsula in the Sino-Japanese War peace treaty (Article 1 of the Treaty of Shimonoseki) and made the Qing government make a promise.
He retired from the position of Prime Minister in 1901. The Inspector General of Korea also retired in June 1909, and his last post was that of President of the Privy Council. Although the chairmanship was an honorary position, it was also a position in which one had to maintain neutrality and could not exert any political influence.
The chairman, who was neither the prime minister nor the governor, was assassinated.
At the time of the assassination, Hirofumi Ito was in an honorary position that prevented him from exerting any political influence.
Going back to 1873, it was Ito Hirobumi who stopped the Conquest of Korea theory that occurred in Japan. Ito was still young at the time, only 32 years old. This was said to be the 6th year of the Meiji Coup, and His Majesty the Emperor issued an imperial order to abolish the theory of conquest of Korea, leading to the resignation of half of the councilors, including Takamori Saigo, and approximately 600 soldiers and bureaucrats. Masu.
At this point, the Satsuma domain, which was a leading figure in the Meiji Restoration, disappeared from the political scene.
What is unclear is what Ahn Jung Geun's purpose was in killing Hirobumi Ito. Although it was a murder, no bullets from the Browning pistol that Ahn was carrying were found in Ito's body.
Ahn Jung-geun testified that he did not know Ito's face, and wrote clearly in his autobiography. Since Hirobumi Ito had retired from important political positions, his murder had no influence or effect on the Japanese government.
On July 6, 1909, the Katsura Cabinet decided on the ``Policy and General Guidelines for the Annexation of Korea at an Appropriate Time''. The annexation was decided before Hirobumi Ito's assassination, and Ito resigned as prime minister in 1901 because his policy of appeasement on the Korean Peninsula was criticized.
What exactly did he aim to change on the Korean peninsula? He was tried in Port Arthur and listed 15 reasons for the assassination in his statement of reasons. There are many items that are related to Ito and items that are completely unrelated. His charge is murder.
The Browning gun used by An Si-geun was loaded with 7 shots. At the scene, 13 bullets were found.
Myeong-dong in Seoul is Meiji Town, which was created by the Japanese. Many Korean-language movies and entertainment were shown at Meijiza.
Myeong-dong is a representative downtown area and tourist destination in South Korea, but it was originally developed as Meiji Town during the Japanese colonial era. There are many Japanese residents in this area, and it is said to be the Ginza of the Korean Peninsula.In the 1930s, it became a fierce battleground with five department stores, including Mitsukoshi Department Store's Keijo branch, and was also a ``symbol of modernization'' on the peninsula. . Meiji-za Theater was opened in Keijo Prefecture, and many movies and plays were shown there.
The people of the Korean peninsula witnessed modernization and began to live a cultured life under Japanese rule.
On April 24, 1937, Seongbong Eigagaku and Shinko Cinema co-produced the first Korean-language talkie, ``Nagne'' (Japanese The exhibition title ``Journey'' is on display at the same museum.
The Japanese version was shown at the same theater, but the Korean version was shown at Yubikan in Funai on the same day. It also functioned as a screening hall for films produced by Korean film companies, and on August 6, 1940, the film "Tuition (Korean version)" (directed by Choi In-gyu), produced by the Korea Film Association, was opened in February 1941. On the 19th, the movie ``Volunteers'' (directed by Yasu Yukage) produced by Toa Eigasha was shown at the same theater.
During the Japanese colonial period, there was nothing on the Korean peninsula. It is clear that modernization under Japanese rule has greatly changed the lives of people on the Korean Peninsula. The town, where people lived in thatched houses and crammed down narrow streets, has now become a place where they can enjoy Korean-language movies made by directors from their own country. It is said that Korea was confiscated and enslaved by Japan, but it is quite the opposite.
The Korean peninsula was a class society dominated by yangban, and in the late Joseon period, the ratio of slaves reached half in some regions. Japan abolished the class system and freed slaves.
