This study analyzes Taekdang Yi Sik's Family Motto in the 17th century to examine the process by which an individual's social experiences are shaped into norms for their descendants. Yi Sik's life, which served as the backdrop for the formation of the family motto, was divided into three periods based on his past rank, government service, and writing activity. The first is the period from his birth to his passing the state examination; the second is the period of his reclusive life after passing the state examination; and the third is the period of his writing activity working as a government official after the Restoration of King Injo. The writings completed by Yi Sik during his lifetime were compiled by his descendants into two volumes of Family Motto after his death. It is characterized by being passed down in an incomplete form because it was not intended to be distributed externally, but only shared with close relatives within the family. The main contents of Family Motto are divided into two main categories: those necessary for the operation of the family and those necessary for the education of the descendants. The contents necessary for the operation of the family were organized into the main rituals of the ceremony and the management of the graves of their ancestors and the contents necessary for the education of the descendants were organized into the study method for passing the state examination and the method of learning sentences. This is understood to be the result of his efforts to ensure the rational operation of the family and the efficient transmission of learning as one of the ways for Yi Sik to pass on the know-how he had accumulated during his life to his descendants.

『Hongjae Diary(1866-1911)』 is a diary written by Ki Haeng-hyeon(1843-?) who lived in Buan-gun, Jeolla-do. Ki haeng-hyeon recorded events, news, and rumors in Gobu, Taein, Namwon, and Jeonju, where the Donghak Peasant Revolution took place. He also recorded the trends of Yeonghakdang and Hwajeok, which were called the remaining forces of Donghak. The central government recognized it as a group like Donghak and the righteous army and suppressed the righteous army commander. In this way, Donghak-gun which was disbanded after the Donghak Peasant Revolution, continued its momentum as the remaining forces of Donghak, such as Yeonghakdang, Hwajeok, and Sujeok. Amid the continued suppression of the Donghak, the Iljinhoe was organized, and a person working as a Iljinhoe appeared in Buan. Iljinhoe intervened in local government authority and was also involved in the administration of village. This power of Iljinhoe was further strengthened when the Russo-Japanese War ended with Japan's victory and Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 was signed. Since the signing of the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905, righteous army has occurred in all parts of the country. The activities of the righteous army became stronger with the abdication of Gojong and the dissolution of the Korean army in 1907. Ki Haeng-hyeon recorded the size of the righteous army identified through newspapers, the murder or expulsion of local officials. After the Donghak Peasant Revolution, Donghak-gun in Honam returned to Yeonghakdang and continued its momentum as the remaining forces of Donghak including Hwajeok, and Sujeok. In an era when the sovereignty of the country was lost, Donghak's remaining forces were converted to righteous army by fighting against the Japanese army. Donghak-gun, suppressed by the Japanese military, rejoined the ranks of resistance against Japanese invasion as a righteous army.

when the Imjin War broke out and led the Bunjo with Gwanghaegun. He kept a record of what he experienced during the evacuation and what happened that day. The book is called The Yongsailgi(龍蛇日記). In addition to the description of the incident, this book contains various documents sent by Jeongtak to King Seonjo. This material is very important in that it was written by a bureaucrat who assisted the king during the war. This book was later included in Jeongtak's collection under the name of Pinanhaengnok(避難行錄). This book contains a number of articles that cannot be found in the Yongsailgi. Through this book, we can infer the original form of the Yongsailgi. Considering that the articles of the two books coincide, it is certain that the Yongsailgi is the base of the Pinanhaengnok. The Pinanhaengnok are very valuable in that they are records of Jeongtak instead of serving Gwanghaegun, who led the Bunjo. The records of Jeongtak, who was following Seonjo and Gwanghaegun, are very valuable data that can supplement the poor records of Seonjo in that many historical records were lost due to the war. In future studies, historical research on the records of the war left by Jeong Tak is urgently required.

In Holocaust studies, Ravensbrück has received special attention along with Auschwitz. The reason is not limited to the fact that Ravensbrück was a women's camp. Ravensbrück in the late period is a suitable place to grasp women's experiences and memories during the Holocaust, as it was a complex camp where the goals of isolation, forced labor, and extermination were implemented at the same time. It is also noteworthy that Ravensbrück was the main target of large-scale rescue operations led by Sweden and Denmark at the end of World War II. The paper first reviews the status and characteristics of the Ravensbrück concentration camp based on the research so far. Next, it deals with the living environment and the solidarity formation of Jewish women in Ravensbrück. Finally, it identifies the patterns and meanings of self-help and resistance activities developed by Jewish female prisoners for survival. The paper argues that the category of resistance in the camps should be interpreted quite widely, taking into account the harsh environment of Ravensbrück. In addition, it emphasizes that Jewish female prisoners should be fully evaluated for continuing their lives in small groups, encouraging each other not to collapse from the inside, and developing self-esteem struggles.

Eojeong Songsa jeon 御定宋史筌 is a rewriting edition of Songshi 宋史 compiled by King Jeongjo and his Gyujanggak subjects in Joseon dynasty. Songsa jeon is characterized by (1) the creation of the imperial biographies of Danzong and Modi, the last emperors of the Southern Song dynasty, (2) the inclusion of Liao, Jin, and Mongol dynasties in its' biographies, (3) the creation of an independent Wuxian Biography for the five Neo-Confucianism scholars from Zhou Dunyi to Zhu Xi, and (4) the creation of Yimin Biography to honor those who had been loyal to the Song dynasty. However, it is difficult to say that the authenticity, which is one of the backgrounds of the compilation of Songsa jeon, has been fully considered. This article compares Liao Biography 遼傳 in Songsa jeon with Liao Biography in Songshi Xinbian 宋史新編 to determine the significance of Songsa jeon's compilation. As can be seen from the legend of Songsa jeon, Joseon dynasty defined Liao and Jin as 'the vulgar ethnic groups in the northeast' and 'the subject states of Goryeo dynasty', and did not recognize Mongol empire as 'authenticity' even after completely destroyed Song. In addition, Goryeo Biography is placed at the top of the biographies of the foreign states to express the criticism, and Liao, Xixia, Jin, and Mongol dynasties are arranged in the order of their founding. The characteristics of Liao Biography in Songsa jeon are as follows. First, Songsa jeon takes the form of the biography more strictly than Songshi Xinbian. Second, Songsa jeon is more thoroughly orthodox than Songshi Xinbian, including the use of Song's reign title. And in terms of content, the records of Qidan Guozhi 契丹國志 cited in Songsa jeon are basically quoted from Xu zizhi tongjian gangmu 續資治通鑑綱目. Furthermore, to express respect for Song, the Battle of Gaoliang River and the Battle of Qigou Pass, in which the Song were greatly defeated from Liao, are described very briefly. In addition, the articles from the Goryeo dynasty were recorded without omission, reflecting the position of Joseon dynasty, the bearer of the compilation. Finally, all the records on Civil Service Examination, Confucianism, and book editings are included in Songsa jeon. Its purpose is to represent the lessons. This indicates the intention that if even Liao, as the barbarian, had developed the rituals and the rites, then Joseon, as 'the inheritor of Chinese culture,' should work even harder to promote the rituals and the rites. Furthermore, considering the arrangement of the biographies of foreign states in Songsa jeon, the placement of Goryeo Biography at the top implies that Goryeo had a more advanced the rituals and the rites than Liao, Jin, Xixia, and Yuan. I think it is the ultimate intention of Joseon dynasty to express from the biographies of foreign states in Songsa jeon. On the other hand, the scholars of Qing Dynasty also tried to revise Songshi, but all of them were not completed. In this sense, the completion of Songsa jeon has historiogr

The displaced people of Goguryeo were assigned mainly to Zhechongbu(折衝府) of Jingzhaofu(京兆府) in Xian during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Many of them administered the palace guards who came up to Xian from the local corps. Tang Dynasty assigned duties of management of the palace guards to Goguryeo people while putting them into the government office. Later, Goguryeo people were dispatched mainly to Zhechongbu rather than Jingzhaofu. Zhechongbu was strategically important as a traffic route from Xian to Luoyang, eastern capital, while defending the two capital cities. In addition, the displaced people of Goguryeo were in charge of managing general infrastructures. Each reginal Zhechongbu mainly takes charge of training the military ranks while dealing with various local specific issues. For example, they strengthened the national defense against possible aggression in the area of rampart while guarding and maintaining the imperial tombs, detached palaces, storage facilities, etc. They guarded emperors when the emperor visited the detached palace as well.

Most of the officially and privately published eupji(邑誌) in the Joseon Dynasty, which began to be compiled in earnest from the late 16th century, imitated the format of Donggukyeojiseungram(『東國輿地勝覽』). Joseonhwanyeoseungram(『朝鮮寰輿勝覽』) written by Lee Byung-yeon(李秉延, 1894~1977, family clan; Yeonan), a Confucian scholar from Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do, also accepted the format of Donggukyeojiseungram. He wrote the book covering the natural and human environment with the help of a separately organized reporter and the cooperation of Confucian scholars from each region (129 counties) across the country. Although this book accepted the compiling system of the geographies of the previous period, the contents were partially selected according to the author's intention. Most of all, although some of the figures included in the geographies of the previous period were re-included, this book shows quite large differences overall from the previous ones. According to the criteria of the author, this book differs greatly from the previous ones specially in terms of recorded persons. In particular, the fact that the compilation process was carried out through active communication and cooperation with the Confucian scholars of the region and the fact that the characters were included in an excessive amount is quite different from the geographies of the previous period. Joseonhwanyeoseungram has at first glance the characteristics of an individual eupji that summarizes the current status of each county, but maintains in the end the characteristics of a national geography that can grasp the current nationwide situation by bundling it into one format. Above all, from a viewpoint of the history of historiography, this book is meaningful in that it maintains differentiation in describing the situation of the 20th century, although it applied the format norms of compiling the eupji of the previous period.

Particularly, for prehistoric myths and legends such as Pan Gu(盤古), Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors(三皇五帝), Dangun(檀君), and Kija(箕子), specific years are included. Furthermore, this section presents references to support these years. The inclusion of years serves the purpose of establishing a clear timeline of historical dynasties and enhancing the credibility of the work. By presenting references from myths, legends, and the field of ancient history, the author aims to demonstrate that Jewang Ungi is not a work of fiction but rather a means to increase its authenticity and reliability, especially in the realms of myths, legends, and ancient history. In the context of ancient Korean history, Jewang Ungi introduces several new elements not found in other historical texts. It primarily focuses on the founding myths of Gojoseon(古朝鮮) and the transfer of power in the King Jun(準王) tradition, offering a fresh perspective on historical recognition. Additionally, Jewang Ungi presents new information regarding the Three Han Kingdoms(三韓), Koguryo(高句麗), Baekje(百濟), and Balhae(渤海) that is not found in the Samguk Sagi(三國史記) and Samguk Yusa(三國遺事). These unique contents suggest a significant difference from our present-day sources and thus add value to Jewang Ungi as historical documentation. In Jewang Ungi, specifically the section on Chinese history, the legitimacy of various Chinese dynasties is determined. Yi Seunghyu's theory of legitimacy emphasized the prevailing reality while also acknowledging the significance of Chinese culture and civilization. This perspective was shaped by the historical context of that time and the experiences Yi Seunghyu went through in his life. Jewang Ungi consistently emphasized the guiding Principles of Confucius in writing the Annals(春秋筆法), which was a shared principle among the officials and literati of the Goryeo period. Yi Seunghyu, as a scholar himself, approached Jewang Ungi from a Confucian scholarly standpoint. However, it is insufficient to summarize his historical perspective based solely on Confucian ideology. Considering the openness and diversity of Goryeo society and its intellectual discourse, it is more appropriate to recognize Yi Seunghyu's historical perspective as one characterized by flexible inclusiveness and plurality.

Tanikawa Kotosuga (1709-1776) and Motōri Norinaga (1730-1801) were from the same region and lived in the same era, exchanging letters and having close academic exchanges. As Shintoists, they recognized Nihonshoki and Kojiki as the sacred book of Shintoism, a perception that was by no means unique to them, but was universal at the time. In addition, although there was a general trend of emphasis on Nihonshoki and disregard for Kojiki, Tanikawa Kotosuga began to write Nihonshoki-tsūshō and Motōri Norinaga began to write Kojikiden as commentaries. Thus, Tanikawa Kotosuga completed the 35th volume of Nihonshoki-tsūshō in 1751 and published it in 1762, while Motōri Norinaga completed the 44th volume of Kojikiden in 1798 and published it in its entirety between 1790 and 1822. Tanikawa Kotosuga's scholarly contributions include, firstly, that Nihonshoki-tsūshō spans the entire Nihonshoki epidemic, and is honored as a pioneer of Nihonshoki studies in the modern era. Second, it can be pointed out that he was well versed in Japanese and Chinese scholarship and was not obscured by Buddhist scriptures, so he took a rational and empirical method. On the other hand, Motōri Norinaga's scholarly contributions include the fact that he wrote Kojikiden, reflecting the relatively good representation of the old style in the first Kojiki. Second, it can be acknowledged that this led to a new appreciation of Kojiki, and that Kojikiden was able to be both a commentary and a study of history. However, it is pointed out as a flaw that they strongly advocated the spiritualism of Shintoism by recognizing Nihonshoki and Kojiki as Shintoists and working on their commentaries, recognizing them as sacred books of Shintoism. In particular, in the case of Motōri Norinaga, there is also an assessment that Kojikiden itself is not an academic study of an objective nature, but merely a commentary based on his own religion, Shintoism. On the other hand, there is a view that he is the best historian. Therefore, I think it is persuasive to point out that when citing the two books, one must distinguish between facts and narratives through rigorous fodder criticism.
