What is the history of North Korea?
According to historical records, ancient Koreans were called "Dongyi", which means archers in the East. They are all over Manchuria, the eastern coast of China, the north of the Yangtze River and the Korean Peninsula. There is a myth circulating among Dongyi people. It is said that the founder of the country, Dangong, was born to his father who fell from the sky and a tribal woman who took a bear as a totem. It is said that he began to rule in 2233 BC, and his descendants have been in power for more than 1000 years in Korea, a country with quiet dawn. When the Zhou Dynasty attacked Yin, Dongyi people moved to Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula because of the better climatic conditions there. It seems that they have always maintained unity, because Confucius and Mencius, the great saint of China, once praised them for their intimacy, friendship and etiquette. During the Warring States Period in China, Dongyi on the west coast of the Yellow Sea clashed with Zhou people. This led them to migrate to South Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula. There are other tribes in Dongyi, namely raccoons living in Manchuria and Koreans living on the Korean peninsula. They all belong to Tungusic language family and Altaic language family. When the Yin Dynasty collapsed, Ji Zi, a courtier of the Yin State, entered the territory of Dangong around 1 1 century BC and introduced the culture of the Yin State. Then, due to the invasion of Yan State in northeast China, ancient Korea lost its territory west of Liaohe River in the 3rd century BC. At this time, there was an iron age civilization, and the warring States period drove refugees eastward. One of the immigrants was Wei Man, who served as a military commander in ancient Korea and drove the quasi-king to the south based on the Yalu River to usurp political power. However, in BC 109, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to invade ancient Korea at the mouth of Liaohe River by land and sea. Two years later, when ancient Korea was defeated, China established four viceroy offices in South Manchuria and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. Shortly after the establishment of these four viceroy offices, South Korea's attack became violent, and all four viceroy offices were destroyed in 3 13 AD. "Dangun Myth" means that Xiong Huan, the son of God Yin Huan, wanted to help mankind and asked his father to take the Korean Peninsula as his territory. Huan agreed to his request and sent 3000 followers to the earth with him. Xiong Huan came to a sacred sandalwood tree on the slope of Taibai Mountain. He became the king of heaven and established the city of God. He appointed three ministers to be in charge of wind, rain and clouds respectively, and taught his subjects to learn 360 skills including farming, medicine, carpentry, weaving and fishing. He also taught his subjects to distinguish between good and evil and made a code. At that time, a bear and a tiger lived in a big cave near the sandalwood tree and came to pray to Xiong Huan every day. The heavenly king was finally moved by their prayers. He called them to his side and gave them 20 cloves of garlic and a small piece of sacred mugwort. He said, "Eat these things,/kloc-don't bask in the sun for 0/00 days. If you can do it, you can become human. " Bear and tiger ate garlic and mugwort and returned to the cave. The tiger couldn't stand the torture and soon came out of the hole. Xiong waited with peace of mind. Only after 2 1 day, she became a beautiful woman. Later, people called her Xiong Nv. This woman is very happy. But because no one could marry her, she went to pray in front of the sandalwood tree, hoping to have a child. Xiong Huan felt sorry for her and turned himself into a human being for the time being. This woman later became pregnant and soon gave birth to a son named Dangong. People all over the country were very happy with the birth of Dangong, and later Dangong became the king of the peninsula. He made Pyongyang the capital and called his kingdom Korea. Then moved the capital to Asda on Taibai Mountain. Dangong ruled 1500 years before abdicating as a mountain god. Legend has it that North Korea and South Korea came from ancient Korea. But according to some people, this kind of Dangun in ancient Korea is fake. The earliest dynasty in Korea was Jizi Korea, and Ji Zi was Shang Zhouwang's uncle. This man was found in Romance of the Gods. After the collapse of Shang Dynasty, he fled to the Korean Peninsula to establish a country, and then Zhou Wuwang named him Marquis of Korea. (Note, North Korea Hou. It means that it is a vassal state of Zhou) (North Korea does not recognize this history, but Pyongyang used to have a tomb, but now it does not understand the situation). Then, Wei Man, a native of Yan State, took some refugees from Yan State and Zhao State to Korea and became an official. Later, he seized power and established Wei Man Korea (or Wei Man Korea) until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty crusaded and wiped him out, and set up four counties in Liaodong. In the meantime, it remains the territory of China. After the Han Dynasty, some indigenous people in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula began to absorb the advanced culture of the Han nationality and developed and established a country. As it happens, a Koguryo nationality of Fuyu nationality in northeast China established the country, hit the Korean peninsula and moved its capital to Pyongyang. It became the Three Kingdoms period in Korean history. The other two countries are Baekje and Silla. In the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo, as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty (the other two were also vassal states of the Tang Dynasty), disobeyed the Tang Dynasty and attacked Silla. Baekje also took the opportunity to occupy Silla's land. Silla asked the Tang Dynasty for help, so the Tang and Luo allied forces destroyed Baekje and Goguryeo. At this time, Silla's unification of the Korean peninsula was only a part of the territory occupied by Silla, Baekje and Koguryo in the south-central part of the Korean peninsula. The north still belongs to China. Later, the Koryo dynasty was established, with its capital in today's Kaesong; The subsequent Korean dynasty, with today's Seoul as its capital, basically extended its territory to the south of the Yalu River. Because it is far away from the Central Plains, it has formed a set of customs that are not the same as the Central Plains. It was not until the end of World War II that these two countries appeared on the Korean peninsula. North Korea was elected by all the people in the north and the leftists in the south, but South Korea was established with the support of most reactionary forces such as the United States and the military and police in the old society (Japanese colonial period), and slaughtered a large number of progressives after its establishment. Including Jin Jiu, the "father of North Korea" (evidence shows that most of him was killed by Li Chengwan). To sum up, there is no confrontation between North Korea and South Korea in history. According to the main sources of people in the history of North and South, the relationship between the two sides should be: the north belongs to China, and the south belongs to North Korea (or South Korea, the earliest Sanhan people in South Korea). The full name of Korea is the Republic of Korea, which was founded in 1948. In English materials and reports, because of its geographical location, the Republic of Korea is often called Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is called North Korea. Whether it is North Korea or South Korea, its English is Korea, which is transliterated from South Korea. The names of Koreans follow the last dynasty on the peninsula-the Korean dynasty, and the names of Koreans are more complicated. According to historical records, some tribes on the peninsula developed into three tribal groups, Mahan, Chen Han and Han Ge, which were called the Three Dynasties. Among them, Chen and North Korea have the most developed economies, engaged in building houses, silk weaving, using iron, raising silkworms and serving cattle and horses. Since then, there have been no tribes or countries named after Korean characters on the peninsula until the end of the 20th century. 1897 In February, the emperor announced that he would change his country name to the Korean Empire, rebuild Yang for the first year of Guangwu, and make Min Fei, who was assassinated by Japan, the queen. 19 10 Japan annexed the Korean peninsula, abolished the Korean Empire, renamed Korea, and merged into Japan. During the Japanese colonial period, Korean patriots in exile organized various forms of resistance, launched anti-Japanese and Zionist movements in China and Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, and established the provisional government of the Republic of Korea. Because of its democratic national salvation movement and its commitment to the establishment of a democratic Republic, it is called the Republic of Korea. After the war, Japan surrendered, and American and Soviet troops accepted Japan's surrender in the north and south of the 38th parallel. Since then, the Korean peninsula has been divided into two parts. From 65438 to 0948, the North and the South became independent, and the South officially adopted the name of the Republic of Korea.
