Publisher's Review
The history of Goryeo recorded in official history, 『History of Goryeo』 and 『Abridged History of Goryeo』
Reclaim your vitality at Park Si-baek's fingertips!
- 500 years of Goryeo history brought back to life through the hands of a master craftsman named Park Si-baek, from storyboard to animation.
The Goryeo Dynasty is a history that we have been familiar with on the surface, but when we look closely, we have never really known about it.
From the name "Korea" derived from "Goryeo" to the cultural achievements represented by the Tripitaka Koreana and Goryeo celadon, and even the historical drama "Taejo Wang Geon" that aired in the early 2000s and is still used as an internet meme to this day, there are things that easily come to mind for any Korean when they think of "Goryeo."
However, very few people know the specific details of the historical flow of the Goryeo Dynasty's rise and fall and the political upheaval that unfolded within it.
Historical records of Goryeo history are extremely scant, having been naturally and intentionally erased over the course of at least 630 years, and most of Goryeo's relics and historical sites are located in present-day North Korea and are therefore difficult to access.
Because in-depth academic research and the production of written works are difficult, there has been a dearth of reliable, accessible, and enjoyable content about the Goryeo Dynasty.
Accordingly, Park Si-baek set out to restore the Goryeo Dynasty using the method he had always done and was best at, that is, using official historical materials as a basis.
Park Si-baek focused on the 『History of Goryeo』 and 『Compendium of Goryeo History』, which are considered one of the four major official histories of the Republic of Korea along with the 『Annals of the Joseon Dynasty』 and the 『Samguk Sagi』.
『History of Goryeo』 is a history book of the Goryeo Dynasty compiled by Kim Jong-seo, Jeong In-ji, and others upon the decree of King Sejong of Joseon. It is the oldest historical document of Goryeo that has survived to the present day. It includes not only historical books of the time but also various original historical documents such as anthologies and epitaphs, and is composed of a massive content of 139 volumes and 75 books, including 46 volumes of genealogy, 39 volumes of history, 2 volumes of chronology, 50 volumes of biographies, and 2 volumes of lists.
The editor did not create sentences but copied and pasted the original text, and the book is evaluated as a history book that maintains strict historical accuracy and objectivity by including both praise and criticism of each individual in its evaluation of characters.
『Goryeosa』 is the most abundant basic document on the Goryeo Dynasty and an official history that records the history of Goryeo. Its academic and cultural value has been recognized, and in 2021, the Cultural Heritage Administration designated it as a national treasure. 『Goryeosa Cheoryo』 is also recognized as a valuable historical material that supplements the insufficient contents of 『Goryeosa』, rather than simply being a summary of 『Goryeosa』.
Park Si-baek looked through every line of the records in the 『History of Goryeo』 and 『Abridged History of Goryeo』, dug up facts that were on the verge of being lost to the back alleys of history, and filled his own historical notebooks with them.
The collected materials are skillfully woven into a story by adjusting the intensity of the spotlight according to the recognized historical context.
Fragments of history that had existed only as single lines of records in dusty historical materials are now supplemented with appropriate metaphors and easily understandable sentences, and are overlaid with meticulously detailed drawings that depict everything from the features of the characters to their wrinkled faces and flowing hair.
Here, the psychological descriptions of characters, taking advantage of the genre of comics, are vividly presented.
The 『History of Goryeo』, which was reborn through the meticulous care of the craftsman Park Si-baek throughout the entire process, casts off the shadow of hundreds of years and regains its overflowing vitality, fully reproducing the dynamism and independence of 500 years of Goryeo history before our eyes, thereby eliciting both emotion and thrill in readers.
Goryeo and Mongolia: A New Order Begins
The struggle of the people who are driven to fend for themselves by incompetent power!
- 『Park Si-baek's History of Goryeo』 4 The End of the Anti-Mongol Resistance, Goryeo as a Subordinate State
Following volumes 1-3, which covered the beginning and golden age of Goryeo and its military regime, volume 4 of 『Park Si-baek's History of Goryeo』 covers the turbulent times of the Mongol invasion, Goryeo's resistance, Yuan's intervention, and Goryeo's transition to a vassal state of Yuan.
During the military regime of the Choi clan, when the power of the Goryeo Dynasty was still strong, Goryeo faced Mongolia, which was rapidly rising and conquering the continent.
Park Seo and Kim Gyeong-son of Gwijuseong, Choi Chun-myeong of Jajuseong, and Kim Yun-hu, a monk from Cheoinseong, who showed Goryeo's spirit in the face of the world's mighty Mongol army, as well as countless other commoners whose names were not recorded in the records, led the 30-year resistance.
On the other hand, the military rulers and King Gojong moved the capital to Ganghwa, ignored the Mongols' request for a court visit and departure, and turned a blind eye to the suffering of the people.
After the surrender, when Wonjong returned to Gaegyeong, the Sambyeolcho rebelled under the banner of resistance against the Mongols, and the Goryeo royal family joined hands with the Mongols to suppress the Sambyeolcho.
Now, the power of the military dynasty that had lasted for 100 years has completely passed to the Mongols (Yuan).
Since King Chungnyeol became the first son-in-law of the Yuan Dynasty, Goryeo began to establish new external relations with the Yuan Dynasty as a vassal state, and the Yuan Dynasty's interference, which held the ultimate power to decide on the appointment and dethronement of the Goryeo king, began in earnest!
The decades-long struggle against the Mongols was, so to speak, a struggle for survival for the people, carried out without any significant support from the central government.
The strength of Goryeo is once again brought to mind when those who were abandoned by their own country and forced to fend for themselves formed a unit to defeat the Mongol army or successfully survived in a foreign land.
In the end, isn't it the strength of each individual citizen?
