檀君의 우리 사상으로 굳히기와 효교육문화의 전개

Abstract

Among 3 nations in East Asia, China and Japan adopted Chinese history and Japanese history as the required course in their general education system. However, Korea does not select Korean history as a required course and it became a major issue among Korean presses with criticism. It is serious since it directly related to the outlook of the nation. Studying ancient history, Korea is not only the first one to create a political entity in Asia but in the world. Also, in the history of world philosophy, Korea was the first and best country with the foundation of its political entity based on Gaecheongyeong (Book of the Opening of Heaven: Book of Heavenly Appendix, Order of Trinity and Chamjeongyeogyeong). It is significant in the world history that Dangun Wanggeom unified Asia and established historic Old Joseon (October 3, 2,333 BC) with the culture of filial piety education based on the ideology of Hongikingan (Men beneficial to human beings). However, the first Governor General after Japan annexed Korea manipulated Korean ancient history with Dangun mythology. He also tried to destroy the ideology of Hongikingan through filial piety. This study tries to emphasize this fact to the Korean public first. Also, the adoption of foreign thoughts, culture and education with criticism courses the crisis. Because of this toadyism, Korea’s outstanding thoughts and culture of filial piety face the challenge. It is why Korea needs to recover them through the rediscovery of the real characteristics of the education of filial piety. The second aim of this study is to raise the national consciousness.
