한국사 교과서 고대사 부분의 국수주의적 시각에 대한 비판적 검토

Abstract

In the ancient history section of current Korean history textbooks, nationalistic narratives and narratives that do not guarantee objectivity remain. Most of these issues are related to the pride or self-esteem of the nation and nation. The first is that the descriptions related to the founding age of Gojoseon and its domain do not match the academic research results and are exaggerated or contain contradictions in logic. This is actually due to the peculiarity that Gojoseon is the starting point of Korean history. The second is the absence of a description of the multi-ethnic national character of the ancient Korean states, Goguryeo and Balhae. Goguryeo is a country in which Yemaek-Goguryeo people, Chinese, and Malgal people merged into Goguryeo people while maintaining their ethnic identities. Balhae also formed a multi-ethnic society with the Goguryeo people and the Malgal people as two major pillars of human composition. The characteristics of Goguryeo and Balhae as multi-ethnic countries are important factors in understanding the history of these countries, so they must be included in textbook descriptions. Finally, it is a question of how to view the history of Nakrang. Current Korean history textbooks hardly describe the history of Nakrang. Nakrang is a local administrative organization established in the center of Gojoseon after the Han Dynasty destroyed Gojoseon. However, Nakrang exists in the northwestern part of the Korean Peninsula for more than 400 years and has had various historical interactions in the same time and space as those of ancient Korean countries. And as a result, the fusion of indigenous culture and Chinese culture was achieved. Through this, the political, economic, and cultural influences on the ancient history of Korea were also significant. And when we recall that the vast majority of its inhabitants were also indigenous people of Gojoseon ancestry, Nakrangsa should be treated as a part of Korean history. Also, considering that the majority of the inhabitants were people of Gojoseon, the history of Nakrang should be treated as a part of Korean history.
