寻找“自我”: 19世纪末～20世纪初韩半岛历史叙述中对本国与中国的认识变化

Abstract

At the end of the 19th century, with the rise of the Western world, the traditional East Asian order collapsed and disintegrated under the impact of the new Western Order. The Korean peninsula, which was transforming into a modern society, reorganized its relations with China and became one of the issues of the times. This reorganization of relations was manifested not only in the changes of national systems such as politics and diplomacy, but also in the reorganization of the ideological and cultural levels. In this paper, we analyze the historical narratives of the Korean Peninsula and China from the perspective of historical discourse, using history books, historical writings, and historic journals from the late 19th century to the early 20th century as the object of study. In this way, it shows how the Korean Peninsula gradually moved away from a Chinese-centered view of history, emphasized the independence of its own history, and built up an understanding of its own history under both the political environment and new historiography during this period.
