Sadaejuui
''Sadaejuui'' (lit. "thing-big-ism", meaning: "serving-the-Great ideology"; Hangul: 사대주의, Hanja: 事大主義, ) is a largely pejorative Korean term which evolved in the mid-20th century from a more widely used historical concept.Armstrong, Charles K. (2007). The contemporary term ''sadaejuui'' was derived from the Chinese ''shi da'' (Korean, ''sadae'') as used by the philosopher, Mencius. * '' Sadae'' literally means "dealing with the great" or "serving the great"Pratt, Kieth L. ''et al.'' (1999). ''Korea: a historical and cultural dictionary,'' p. 384. and interpreted as "Loving and admiring the great and powerful". *''Juui'' means "ideology" and it is conventionally translated as "-ism." In other words, ''sadaejuui'' is a compound-word composed of ''sadae'' + ''juui.'' Etymology The term "''sadaejuui''" was invented by early 20th century Korean nationalists. The antecedents of this modern term is the historic term "''sadae''" (), which comes from the word in Menc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He argued that modern Koreans and the people of Manchuria were of a single race which has an ancestral claim to both Korea and Manchuria, Shin also studied Korean mythology. During his exile in China, Shin joined the Eastern Anarchist Association and wrote anti-imperialist and pro-independence articles in various outlets; his anarchist activities lead to his arrest and subsequent death in prison, February 21, 1936.

Sadae
''Sadae'' (''lit.'' "serving-the-Great," Hangul: 사대 Hanja: ) is a Korean term which is used in pre-modern contexts.Armstrong, Charles K. (2007). ''Sadae'' is a Confucian concept, based on filial piety, that describes a reciprocal hierarchical relationship between a senior and a junior, such as a tributary relationship. The term is used as a descriptive label for bilateral foreign relations between Imperial China and Joseon dynasty Korea. Korea's ''sadae'' toward China was first employed by Silla in the 7th century, but it was not fully implemented until the Confucianization of Korea in the early Joseon dynasty. Korea's ''sadae'' toward China from the 7th century to the 13th century was only nominal. Etymology The historical term is derived from the Chinese ''shi da'' (Korean, ''sadae'') as used by the philosopher Mencius. ''Sadae'' literally means "dealing with the great" or "serving the great."Pratt, Keith L. ''et al.'' (1999). ''Korea: a historical and cultural dictiona ...

Gyorin
Gyorin (lit. "neighborly relations") was a neo-Confucian term developed in Joseon Korea. The term was intended to identify and characterize a diplomatic policy which establishes and maintains amicable relations with neighboring states. It was construed and understood in tandem with a corollary term, which was the ''sadae'' or "serving the great" policy towards Imperial China. Confucian learning contributed in the formation of ''gyorin'' and ''sadae'' as ritual, conceptual and normative frameworks for construing interactions and political decision-making. Multi-national foreign policy The rationale expressed by ''gyorin'' was applied to a multi-national foreign policy. Scholarly writing about the Joseon dynasty has tended to focus on diplomatic relations with China and Japan, but the intermediary nature of ''gyorin'' contacts—for example, Joseon-Ryukyuan diplomatic and trading contacts—were important as well. Envoys from the Ryūkyū Kingdom were received by Taejo of Jos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Samguk Sagi
''Samguk Sagi'' (, ''History of the Three Kingdoms'') is a historical record of the Three Kingdoms of Korea: Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla.

Political Theories
Political philosophy or political theory is the philosophical study of government, addressing questions about the nature, scope, and legitimacy of public agents and institutions and the relationships between them. Its topics include politics, liberty, justice, property, rights, law, and the enforcement of laws by authority: what they are, if they are needed, what makes a government legitimate, what rights and freedoms it should protect, what form it should take, what the law is, and what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, if any, and when it may be legitimately overthrown, if ever. Political theory also engages questions of a broader scope, tackling the political nature of phenomena and categories such as identity, culture, sexuality, race, wealth, human-nonhuman relations, ethics, religion, and more. Political science, the scientific study of politics, is generally used in the singular, but in French and Spanish the plural (''sciences politiques'' and ''cie ...
