The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
What is at the root of anti-Japanese movement
Why did Joseon's Confucians conduct Confucianism edification of Cheng-Zhu school so thorough?
The reason is, by practicing Confucian reward more faithfully than suzerain China, in the acquisition of 'legitimacy' to surpass suzerain spiritually.
In Korea, the complex against China, pride (legitimacy) that they practice Chinese courtesy over China had occurred in parallel from the 15th century.
Since China did not match Cheng - Zhu school in the first place, Yangmingism spread more.
The pupil asks the Wang Yangming teacher an opinion.
‘Teacher, I definitely want to restore ancient music.’
The teacher said. ‘Yeah, you do not have to do it, it's all in your heart.’
This is Yangmingism's ‘Shinsokuri’.
With 'Ultra Realism theory' 'Goods which are thought of are existence', the air defense identification zone can also exist because the Chinese thought.
When the officer who went to China that moved from Cheng-Zhu school to Yangmingism came back to Korea, it will report it as it is in China.
‘The king, Chinese are drinking while mourning, eating meat and having banquets’
Korean Confucians begin to have a strong sense of superiority to China when they know that abstinence, breaking carnivore in mourning is not done according to the discourse of Zhu Xi in Confucianism home China.
And, in Korea, it must thoroughly educate the Legislation of China Ming dynasty so that there is no such dirty work and inquire of sin against the law! And the king of Korea screamed.
In the diary of the Korean Confucianist in the second half of the 16th century, there is a description that ‘China is a vicious country close to a beast’, and this self-respect is decisive due to the destruction of Ming dynasty by the Jurchen people of the 17th century and the founding of the Qing country.
By China's being conquered by 'the barbarian' (the savage tribe), Jurchen people, it won a legitimacy, the person that themselves inherit Li (Confucianism) of China.
This is called 'Little Sinocentrism (Sojunghwa)' in Joseon thought history.
After that, Korea called ‘the wall of the east of the large Ming dynasty’ by itself, rejecting the culture which draws flow from the Qing Dynasty.
Historically, this legitimacy will become enlarged through the period of Joseon, but in Japan's Annexation of Korea era it will be inferiority complex that this time it was occupied by the other barbarian Japan.
From the Korean perspective, Wa (Japan) people were barbarians who did not follow Chinese traditional fashion (clothes and coronet).
Because traditional fashion is a serious matter of Confucianism, it means that it is not polite.
Although Korea taught Japan that traditional fashion, Japan lacked the ability to ‘correctly’ use it, so it became strange.
It is a recognition that this is the custom of Wa in today.
In this way, the contempt for the Japanese people of the Korean nation is deep-rooted in history.
At the beginning of the modern era, Japan was forced to be subject to the hatred of people in East Asia because Hua-Yi distinction was a stable system that Korea acquired legitimacy,
Japan - which is also a barbarian country - Japan has crushed into pieces - a cause is due to it.
This was unacceptable for those people were content with this system.
Therefore, after the defeat of Japan, the reconstruction of Confucianism education was called out, and the legitimacy was restructured by the revival of Little Sinocentrism (Sojunghwa).
That is why the anti-Japanese movement has always been linked to seeing Japan as the barbarian today.
