◼︎ 00:00 Intro ◼︎ 00:23 Korean History - Why did a poet become a fighter for factional strife? Songgang Jeong Cheol Songgang Jeong Cheol was a master of lyric poetry and a genius poet. However, the 16th century, when the genius poet Jeong Cheol lived, was a crazy time. It was a time of numerous purges and wars. And the records in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty about Jeong Cheol, a politician rather than a poet, are different from what we know. “The poisonous Jeong Cheol is the greatest traitor of all time.” [Seonjo Sillok, Volume 145] What is the truth about Jeong Cheol? What made him a fighter for factional strife? ◼︎ 47:25 Historical Mystery - Three-year mourning period? One-year mourning period? Is Ye-song a product of factional strife? The biggest factional strife in the Joseon Dynasty, the Yeosong Controversy, was a dispute over etiquette between the Seoin and Namin factions over whether Hyojong's mother should wear mourning clothes for one year or three years after his death. There are several interpretations of this. First, there is the view that it was a conflict between the Seoin and Namin factions for control of political hegemony at the time. Another view is that it was a time when the country's authority was shaken as it had not been long since the Imjin and Manchu invasions. Therefore, there is the view that it was the intention of the aristocrats to strengthen national defense by promoting the Northern Expedition and to correct the corrupt social order by correcting etiquette at home. #KoreanHistory #History #HistorySpecial #HistoryJournal
