일제 강점기 이병도의 고조선사 연구

Abstract

Japanese colonial period Lee Byeong-do identified Gojoseon(古朝鮮) as the first country in Korea and that he understood that Gojoseon was connected to Wiman Joseon(衛滿朝鮮) via Gija Joseon(箕子朝鮮) from Dangun Joseon(檀君朝鮮). And he identified Gojoseon as the period of Giza Joseon as having a certain state system and tried to summarize the history of the period empirically from a historical and geographical perspective. In particular, in the paper "Paesugo(浿水考)" the development and activities of Gojoseon’s history were understood from the beginning by including the Liaoning area. Lee Byung-do has always regarded Yodong Peninsula and the northwestern part of the Korean Peninsula (Pyeongan and Hwanghae Province) as the cultural birthplace of Gojoseon, since Japanese colonial period continued. And During the Bronze Age, the area of Gojoseon, which had been growing in power from the Liaodong to the northwestern part of the Korean Peninsula, was reduced to the south of the Cheongcheon River when Chinese forces entered the area around the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C.. Lee Byung-do has regarded Gojoseon grew up in the south of the Cheongcheon River with a national organization as an early ancient country, including the king(王) and the daifu(大夫). The Japanese colonial period Lee Byung-do's research on Gojoseon is objectively and rationally summarizing the recent controversy over Gojoseon. And even the latest academic orthodoxy has had so much impact that Lee Byung-do's research has given him ideas. Compared to the Japanese colonial period when history tried to correct our history distorted and disparaged by colonial history and paint the grand facade of ancient Korean history, Lee Byeongdo's research on Gojoseon pursued only the rationality of historical descriptions and there is a limit to the fact that he cannot be seen as a practical intellectual required during the colonial era.
