환작(幻作)된 『환단고기(桓檀古記)』

Abstract

Lee Yu-rip tried to eliminate the Chinese colonial government of Korea, Ki-ja Chosun, in order to bring glory to Korea’s ancient history. The fruit of their efforts is the Hwandangogi. Lee Yu-rip needed a new history book because he could not obliterate the Ki-ja Chosun through the existing nationalistic history books Kyuwonsahwa or Dangigosa. Lee Yu-rip has been making various pseudohistory books over time. Such pseudohistory books were collected and the name Hwandangogi was named in the ’70s. Such a series of processes often appears in the Keobalhan, an organ newspaper of the ”Dandanhakhoi” organized by Lee Yu-rip. Hwandangogi published in 1979 could not explain why it was not published before that time. For this reason, some argue that Kye Yeon-soo, known as the editor of the book, told the public open in 1980. For this reason, some argue that Kye Yeon-soo, known as the editor of the book, told Lee Yu-rip to disclose it in 1980. However, it has already been introduced in the monthly magazine Ja-yu. It also incorporates the gradual materialization of Keobalhan. Therefore, it is conjectured that similar historical scholars had not published Keobalhan for a long time. In this article, we will examine the differences between Lee Yu-rip’s historical view in Keobalhan and the later published Hwandangogi and how Hwandangogi was fabricated.
