Chikchi Temple
175 Hyonsong for Yi, and Yi's own preface to the work. The final volume contains an epilogue written by Yi Shik. There had been other literary collections before Chibong yuso! that contained writings on various topics such as science, government and literature, but none were as extensive as this work. The contents of each volume are as follows: Volume one contains information regarding astronomy, the seasons and calendar, and natural disasters. Volume two details the geography of Chosen and of other countries. The third volume discusses the kingship, and military organisation and strategy. Volume four is devoted to descriptions and duties of various government positions. The fifth to seventh volumes deliberate the qualities of Confucianism, the Chinese classics and Chinese characters. Volumes eight to fourteen are devoted to various literary writings. Volume fifteen discusses various personages, upright moral behaviour and physical appearance. The sixteenth volume is devoted to language, and the seventeenth to human and miscellaneous affairs. In volume eighteen the arts and moral affairs are presented, and in volume nineteen palaces, dress customs and food are discussed. The twentieth and final volume relays information concerning plants, animals and insects. The work contains a total of 3 435 articles divided into twenty-five main categories and further sub-divided into 182 headings. As outlined above, the works covers a broad number of topics that heretofore had not been accomplished in a single work. Moreover, Chibong yusol marks a trend in Chosen academics towards practical study as opposed to empty theoretical works that dominated this time. The structure of this work served as the foundation for later works that continued the practical approach to scholarship such as Sangha sasol (Insignificant Explanations) written by Yi Ik (1682-1764), Sunoji ot Hong Manjong (1643-1725), Kogiim songnim (Past and Present Glossaries) by Yi Uibong (1733-1801) and Mulmyong yugo (Categorical Explanations of Names and Things) written by Yu Hili (1773-1837). -
Chairman Kim Jong Il
HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITIES OF CHAIRMAN KIM JONG IL PYONGYANG, KOREA JUCHE 104 (2015) HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITIES OF CHAIRMAN KIM JONG IL Foreign Languages Publishing House Pyongyang, Korea Juche 104 (2015) 1 PREFACE Kim Jong Il, who led the cause of the Juche revolution pioneered by Kim Il Sung along the road resplendent with victory, is the eternal General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the eternal Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Already in the 1960s he started administering unique Songun-based revolutionary leadership, Songun politics, and in the mid-1970s he began to lead the overall affairs of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the Korean People’s Army and the state, thus bringing about a radical turn in all the sectors of the revolution and construction and ushering in a heyday of the era of the WPK under the banner of modelling the whole society on Kimilsungism. After the death of Kim Il Sung in the mid-1990s, he formulated the mode of Songun politics in a comprehensive way. By so doing, he frustrated the ever-more undisguised schemes of the US-led allied imperialist forces to isolate and stifle the DPRK, defended his socialist country reliably and opened a new era of building a thriving socialist country. Cherishing an ennobling sense of obligation to the destiny of his country and fellow people and the future of the Korean revolution, he provided a brilliant solution to the problem of inheriting leadership, the core in accomplishing the revolutionary cause. -
Kim Jong Il, Brief History
KIM JONG IL BRIEF HISTORY Foreign Languages Publishing House Pyongyang, Korea Juche 87 (1998) Publishing Comrade Kim Jong Il’s Brief History Comrade Kim Jong Il, General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, is the most faithful successor to the revolution- ary cause of Juche1, the Supreme Commander of the revolu- tionary armed forces of Korea and the great leader of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the Korean people. In the first days of his revolutionary activities he set it as his lifetime task to complete the cause of Comrade Kim Il Sung, the great leader of the Korean people, and has scored immortal exploits or the Party and the revolution, for the country and the people. The historical course of his leadership over the Workers’ Party of Korea has covered the arduous and trying period in which the internal and external situation of the revolution was very complex and the Party and the revolution were faced with tasks more difficult and enormous than ever before. In the arduous days when the fierce class struggle between socialism and capitalism was waged amid the protracted confrontation with the allied forces of imperialism of the world, Comrade Kim Jong Il, as the closest comrade and most faithful assistant of Comrade Kim Il Sung, has always held fast to the banner of socialism, the banner of the revolution, and turned misfortunes into blessings and adversities into favourable conditions, thus leading the Korean revolution to continuous upsurge and bril- liant victory. Through energetic ideological and theoretical activities he systematized Comrade Kim Il Sung’s revolutionary ideology into the ideology, theory and methodology of Juche, develop- ing it to be the immortal revolutionary banner of the era of independence. -
