◼︎ 00:00 Title ◼︎ 00:16 History Special - The oldest existing history book, the 800-year controversy over Samguk Sagi Samguk Sagi was written by Kim Bu-sik during the reign of King Injong of Goryeo in 1145, and is the oldest history book recording the history of the Three Kingdoms. That's why it's called the Bible of ancient history and a window into ancient history. This is because no other existing history book covers the history of the Three Kingdoms in such detail. However, surprisingly, Samguk Sagi has been the subject of constant controversy for over 800 years since it was written. Some say that the contents of Samguk Sagi are wrong, while others say that Samguk Sagi distorts the facts. They also raise issues by pointing out Kim Bu-sik's toadyist view of history. Let's find out why such criticism has been poured on Samguk Sagi and why the controversy has continued until recently. ◼︎ 58:08 HD History Special - Why did Kim Bu-sik write Samguk Sagi? When Kim Bu-sik retired from politics, King Injong ordered the writing of Samguk Sagi. The writing of Samguk Sagi began in order to correct the reality that while China's history was well-known, no one knew our history properly. Samguk Sagi was not created based on Kim Bu-sik's ideas, but was written based on the "Gogi," or ancient records. From the very beginning, Samguk Sagi had nothing to do with tributary politics. In addition, numerous controversies regarding Kim Bu-sik and Samguk Sagi have been organized. #KoreanHistory #History #HistorySpecial #HistoryJournal
