Abstract

Daedongsa is the complete history book written in chronological order by Yu Insik(1865~1928) in the early period under the Japanese rule. Yu Insik, a reform-minded Confucian scholar, whose pen name was Dongsan lived in Andong. Daedongsa covers from the ancient times until the writer's time according to Dangun Jeongtongron instead of the existing Dangi Jeongtongron. Yu Insik understood the period from so-called Gija Joseon to Silla as the period of South and North dynasties, not with the view of Gija Jeongtongron and Silla Jeongtongron. He sublated Gija Jeongtongron and Gija Bujeongron, and established 'Gija Joseon as South dynasty and Buyeo as North dynasty'. It means that his writing overcame Sinocentrism's historical view and paid attention not to lean toward extreme nationalism. He also overcame the contradiction in the writing of Balhae's history with Silla Jeongtongron by writing 'Silla as South dynasty and Balhae as North dynasty' Daedongsa's writing mode took over the historiographical tradition of the Korean Empire, on the other side its contents showed the early from of nationalism historiography.
