  • The Evolution of Ancient East Asian Writing Systems As Observed Through Early Korean and Japanese Wooden Tablets
    The Evolution of Ancient East Asian Writing Systems as Observed through Early Korean and Japanese Wooden Tablets KWON In-han Abstract Large quantities of ancient Korean wooden tablets unearthed since the 1990s have underscored and buttressed the importance of primary materials in his- torical studies. The Korean linguistics field is no exception; with a growing number of tablets available from Baekje and Silla, research on ancient Korean language and writing has accordingly flourished. These investigations had been mainly confined to the Korean Peninsula, however, and had not expand- ed to encompass all of East Asia. Bearing that in mind, this paper deciphers and explicates written materials through a comparison of two early wooden tablets, unearthed in Korea and Japan, respectively, and surveys the evolution of ancient East Asian writing systems—focusing on the development of writ- ing systems that use borrowed Chinese characters, the adoption and adapta- tion of character shapes and handwriting styles. Research reconfirms that ancient East Asian writing systems originated in China and moved to the Korean peninsula and then to the Japanese archipelago. Keywords: ancient Korean wooden tablets, the evolution of East Asian writ- ing systems, Chinese-borrowed characters, gugyeol characters, hiragana, cur- sive Japanese syllabary KWON In-han is a professor in the Department of Korean Language and Literature at Sungkyunkwan University. He received his Ph.D. in Korean Linguistics from Seoul National University in 1995. His publications include Joseon gwanyeogeo-ui eumunnon- jeok yeongu (A Phonological Study of the Chaoxianguan yiyu) (1998) and Jungse hanguk hanja eumhun jipseong (A Compilation of the Pronunciation and Meaning of Chinese Characters in Middle Korean) (2006/2009).

  • The 1394 Governance Code for the Joseon Dynasty of Korea by Jeong Do-Jeon
    Revitalization of Ancient Institutions: The 1394 Governance Code for the Joseon Dynasty of Korea by Jeong Do-jeon By Kyongran Chong A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the School of Languages and Cultures Victoria University of Wellington (2018) Abstract The Code of Governance for the Joseon Dynasty written by Jeong Do-jeon in 1394 was the first legal document written in justification of a new Korean dynasty. The eminent Korean historian Han Young-woo has credited the political scheme formulated in the Code for promoting democratic ideas of power separation. This study argues that the Code cannot be considered as an attempt to introduce a new power structure in this way, as it was primarily concerned with revitalizing idealized Confucian institutions mobilized by the ideological force of weixin 維新 (revitalization) of guzhi 古制 (ancient institutions) and with creating a society modelled on Confucian values and hierarchical order laid out in the Chinese work, the Zhouli (Rites of Zhou). In his Code, Jeong used this system of government structure as the principle of ancient state institutions, to justify the position of the new Joseon throne, and he also adopted the legal format of the 1331 Yuan law book, Jingshi dadian, in which royal authority took precedence over that of the government. This study emphasizes not only Jeong Do-jeon’s conservative adherence to the continuity of state institutions from the previous Goryeo dynasty (a replica of the Chinese Tang and Song systems), but also the priority he gave to the new Joseon monarch as a stabilizing force within the new dynasty, and argues that the Code was written to ensure continuity and priority, and cannot be considered as an attempt to introduce a new power structure.

Selection of Components It is understood that the nominated components comprise a sample of seven monasteries, that typologically characterise Korea's Buddhist mountain temples, which are the 'most outstanding examples', and are afforded the highest level of national protection. It is also understood that these mountain monasteries were able to survive historical periods when many other monasteries located throughout Korea were closed. ICOMOS notes that there are 952 Buddhist temples in Korea, of which 82% are located in mountain areas (p. 128); and that 25 were subject to further comparative study in order to select the seven serial components. While Table 3.1 clearly indicates some parameters for the selection of the seven components, these descriptive characteristics are not explicitly linked to the proposed criteria for Outstanding Universal Value.

  • Places of Ecological Interest in Korea
    KOREA 25 01 MARSH CONSERVATION AREA WUPO MARSH Wupo Marsh in Changnyeong Inland wetlands where humans and nature coexist, Wupo Marsh in Changnyeong / Changnyeong-gun, South Gyeongsang Province / Wupo Marsh is the biggest inland wetlands in Korea. It consists of four natural swamps – Wupo, Mokpo, Sajipo and Jjokjibeol – which were formed by the flooding of the Nakdong River 6,000 years ago. Around the Wupo Marsh area, a number of natural swamps were scattered about until the Japanese Occupation Period. However, lots of them are diminished or disappeared due to dike construction and farmland development. Fortunately, since 1990, the ecological value, beautiful scenery and conservation needs of Wupo Marsh has become widely recognized as a priority, and so destructive industrial development projects and destroying behaviors were halted so that the Wupo Marsh and its natural ecosystem could begin to rapidly revive. Wupo Marsh, which is home to around 1,500 different kinds of species, is called a repository ecosystem. About 500 types of plants grow naturally in Wupo Marsh, including the Santa Cruz Water Lily, and 160 kinds of birds including the whooper swan (a Natural Monument), common swan, spoonbill, kestrel and mandarin duck all live in or visit Wupo Marsh seasonally. Mammals, such as elk and raccoon, are easy to see. The reclaimed Wupo Marsh was designated as an Ecology Protection Area in 1997, and subsequently in 1998, it was registered on the List of the Ramsar Convention. Wupo Marsh was designated again in 1999 as a Wetlands Protection Area and Natural Monument No. 524 in 2011. If you walk amongst the beauty and revived nature of Wupo Marsh, we highly recommend you walk on the “Life Street” in the marsh.
