a slave system rooted on the Korean Peninsula.The status system was abolished for the first time under Japanese rule. The slave system is closely related to agricultural culture.In China, the annual rainfall in the south of the Jinlin River and the Hui River is more than 1,000 millimeters, less than 1,000 millimeters in the north, rice farming in the south, and field farming in the north.Field farming is simply inefficient, so there is a lot of demand for servants. Therefore, many servants were used in the north.People who commit crimes are converted into servants instead of debt.
Rice farming was introduced to Japan from southern China, and field farming was introduced to the Korean Peninsula from northern China.The Korean servants were bought and sold as property in the field.Five servants were traded for a cow.Rice farming was carried out on the South Korean Peninsula, but rice planting began in the late Joseon period due to direct seeding.
In the 15th and 17th centuries, 30 to 40 percent of the Joseon population were servants.According to Ulsan's family register data from 1609, 47 percent of them were servants.In 1606, 64% of the servants in Sancheong, South Gyeongsang Province, were servants.The size of the servants was 50% in Korea
This is the first attempt to eliminate racism in the international community to be made by a Japanese delegation at the Paris Conference of the League of the League of Nations.This was not approved due to strong opposition from the United States.The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racism, published in 1969, was the first time that international racism was abolished.
After the collapse of the Ritsuryo system, Japan's slave system was abolished in the early 10th century.However, in reality, human trafficking was not eradicated, and the Edo Shogunate often imposed bans in 1612, 1619, and 1683 and strictly controlled it.
In China, the last emperor of Qing, Ai Xinjiao Puyi, legally abolished servitude.
The U.S. Emancipation Declaration was issued in 1863, but the United States made racism illegal until the Jim Crow Act was repealed in 1964.
On the Korean Peninsula, the Gabo Reform in 1894 abolished the white-collar system, but the situation remained the same due to the failure of the Gabo Reform.Kim Ok-kyun, who fled to Japan and was killed in Shanghai in order to modernize the Japanese style, said, "The feudal status system in Korean society is the root of inequality and the main cause of corruption and decline."
The annexation of Japan and South Korea and the introduction of a family register system abolished the entry of status in the family register.Japan gave last name to a girl who didn't wait for her last name because she wasn't considered as human.As a result, children can go to school.The Japanese government immediately suppressed the protests against the liberation of their status, saying, "We should give them educational opportunities regardless of their status."
Japan was the first country in the world to appeal for the abolition of racism.And slaveship disappeared in the early 10th century.
Emperor Sunzong's imperial admonitions and the truth about the annexation of Japan and Korea.A life spent playing billiards as a hobby and listening to the gramophone at night.
In 1909, the movement for the annexation of Korea and Japan became stronger, and Prime Minister Lee Wan-yong, with the support of pro-Japanese groups such as Iljin-kai, proceeded to discuss the annexation of Korea with the Japanese government. On August 22nd, the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty was signed.
On August 29th, the treaty came into effect with the approval of the emperors of both countries, and the Korean Empire collapsed and came under the control of the Japanese Governor-General of Korea. The following is an imperial admonition issued by Emperor Sunjong, the last emperor of the Joseon Dynasty, to the Korean Peninsula, and was also published in newspapers.
Imperial admonition of Emperor Sunjong of the Korean EmpireI have done a tremendous amount of work and have striven for the Restoration ordinance from my accession to the present day. The road ahead is still steep, the country is weakened, and exhaustion is everywhere, leaving us at a loss. This situation cannot be brought to an end. Rather, we should entrust them with great responsibilities and obtain perfect methods and innovative achievements. For this reason, I have personally decided to transfer the right to govern Korea to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, a neighboring country, to solidify peace in the East and ensure the life and safety of the Korean people. The people should deeply understand the state of the country and the times, work without confusion, submit to the new civilized government of the Japanese Empire, and enjoy its happiness. I have never forgotten the people. It was born out of the true intention of saving and making use of the people, so please understand this well.August 29, 1910
After the annexation, Sunjong (Lee Ben) lived in Changdeokgung Palace in Gyeongseong-fu, was established as a king, and was called ``King Yi.'' Before the annexation, he was so weak both mentally and physically that he was unable to walk without the support of his attendants, but by this time he was able to walk and began to respond cheerfully. Masatake Terauchi said that this may be because he was ``freed from the pain of national troubles.''
After his abdication, Sumjong lived a graceful life
``Li Wang'' was very nervous, and he checked his own clock to wake up, take a bath, and go to bed on time. He played his hobby of billiards from 2pm to 4pm on weekdays and listened to the gramophone at night.
Also, like his father Gojong, who became King Yi Tae, he had an excellent memory, and it is said that he never forgot the names of the people he had an audience with. He loved the French cuisine of Kaneyoshi Yoshikawa, the first head chef of the Imperial Hotel, and ate it almost every day.
In June 1917, he visited Japan and had an audience with Emperor Taisho, who had visited Korea 10 years earlier. In November, a fire destroyed most of Changdeokgung Palace, and they moved to the remaining building called Rakuseonjae, but it was too small.
Lee Wan-yong considered moving to Deoksugung Palace, where King Lee lived, but when Lee heard this, Lee reprimanded him and said, ``Don't move, it's Changdeok Palace given to you by His Majesty the Emperor.'' After that, he lived in Nakseongjae for two years until the restoration of Changdeokgung Palace was completed.
It is believed that Shirosuke Gondo, the administrative official of the King of Yi, believed that the rituals of the King of Lee would be preserved by the title of ``Changdeokgung''.
Korea claims that they were forced to annex Japan and Korea, but no matter how you look at Sunjong's imperial admonitions and his subsequent life and behavior, it doesn't seem that way.
During the annexation of Japan and South Korea, the Korean Peninsula modernized and achieved economic growth. This is contradictory data from the South Korean government, which does not want to admit
This is the actual state of the Korean peninsula during the annexation of Japan and Korea, as published by the Korean Statistical Office.
Number of doctors: increased approximately 7 times
Number of deaths due to infectious diseases: Significant decrease
Water supply amount: increased approximately 4.8 times
Number of kindergartens: approximately doubled in 10 years
Child protection business: Increased approximately 4.3 times
Number of public elementary schools: increased approximately 7.5 times
Population: Increased approximately 1.8 times
The number of robberies has significantly decreased, etc.
During the Japanese colonial period, the Korean peninsula experienced significant economic growth and was on the path to modernization.
South Korea has complained to the international community that it was annexed by Japan, enslaved, and massacred, but its population appears to be increasing.
The period of annexation between Japan and Korea is approximately 35 years. The reasons why the population increased 1.8 times during this period include maintaining public order, improving medical care, and reducing poverty.
Public order is maintained through laws, police, and the spread of education, and medical care is achieved through the addition of medical personnel and the provision of medicines, medical equipment, and other supplies.
Reducing poverty requires increasing employment through the creation of many jobs and improving the food situation. Japan's social improvements in all of these areas resulted in population growth.
Even though this data is published by the South Korean government itself, the country as a whole is repeating completely contradictory claims.
Japan contributes to other countries' World Heritage Sites.Seokguram, which Korea claims Japan destroyed, is registered as a World Heritage Site.
Regarding the Moai statue on Easter Island, there is also a Moai statue in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.It looks like Japan built a replica of the Moai statue on its own, but it was a Japanese company that restored the Moai statue on Easter Island.The restoration listed Rapanyi National Park on Easter Island as a World Heritage Site.In return, Japan was allowed the reproduction of the Moai statue.
There is a bridge in Da Nang, Vietnam.In 1593, Japanese who lived in a Japanese town built a bridge.It is popular among Vietnamese as Nihonbashi.Young Vietnamese couples take wedding photos in front of the bridge.Hoi An, where this bridge is located, has been listed as a World Heritage Site.
There is Seokguram in Korea.It was discovered by a postman in 1909 during delivery.Since 1915, the Japanese have been repairing buildings that are about to collapse.After the end of Japanese rule, Korea restored it again in 1961, but Korea rearranged them into its own arrangement and they said the reason was Japan arranged Buddha statues in a random way.Afterwards, the photos and detailed layout of Seokguram were found and it became clear that japanese arrangement was correct. But Korea said, "Seokguram was perfectly preserved for more than 1,000 years, but Japan was jealous and damaged it with cement and concrete."Seokguram was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1995.
Seokguram was just an abandoned ruin until Japan restored it.
The limits of the industrial revolution and modernization on the Korean Peninsula - At the time of the annexation, the Korean Peninsula lacked everything.
In 1805, the Korean Confucian scholar Jeong Dong-yu listed sheep, wheels, and needles as things that did not exist on the Korean peninsula. The wheel refers to the technology that transforms and processes wood, and the needle refers to the precision processing of metal. At that time, there was no technology to make wheels on the Korean peninsula, so cargo was carried on the backs of oxen or carried on the shoulders or heads of people. The needle also needed to have a sharp metal tip and a hole in the back for the thread to pass through, and these items were ordered from China.
Isabel Bird, who traveled to the Korean peninsula four times in three years from 1894 to 1897, said, ``The road to Seoul was so narrow that cattle could not pass each other, and it was like a maze.'' It's just a passage," he wrote. It can be seen from this that there were no vehicles with more than two horizontal wheels.
The industrial revolution produced large machines and produced goods in large quantities. Wood processing technology and metal processing technology are essential to making industrial machinery. Distribution is then needed to transport the products to each region. Vehicles that transport raw materials and products need roads to begin with. In order to communicate work processes to workers and create manufacturing records, workers must be able to read and write. Without a monetary economy, products cannot be manufactured or traded. At that time, the Korean peninsula did not have everything necessary for the industrial revolution.
Japan introduced industrial machinery, cars, roads, school education, etc. to the Korean Peninsula. The class system was abolished, slaves were freed, and a mobile labor force was created. This gave rise to mass production, wide-area distribution, and a monetary economy in which money and goods were exchanged. This is the industrial revolution and modernization that Japan brought to the Korean Peninsula.
