Japanese Forefather, Baek-Je, Korean History

[MyCss2010]

Thank you for another interesting video. History has always belonged to the victors, but hopefully society has advanced enough that truth is valuable enough to stand on its on merit. I feel a closer bond and curiosity about Chinese and Japanese culture/people from your videos because it shows how much our cultures have intermingled in the past. Don't let the anger and hatred expressed by others deter you from sharing your knowledge, even if it's misunderstood. Love and peace.

Kimono is a copy of Chinese traditional clothing called Hanfu.and slight influences from the Korean hanbok Katana = bent Korean sword

Samurai armour=Chinese influenced armour, with spikes attached to helmut

Japanese architecture= China architecture+Korean Architecture

[richardhaw]

british royals have foreign blood in them, does that mean that they are french or russian?

is this an example of culture masturbation complex?

[OriginalJAPAN]

@richardhaw

Almost three centuries later, Niigasa’s biography as recorded in the Shoku nihongi (Chronicles of Japan, Continued) also stresses her family’s relationship with the Baekje royal family since the entries around the time of her death in 790 state that her ancestors were the “descendants of Crown Prince Sunta, son of King Muryeong.”

[redwhitedude]

@richardhaw nope, but shedding the truth that Korea did help Japan early on. everybody knows that the US started as 13 colonies of great britain. That's how the US got its start. Nobody in Korea is saying that Japan is an extension of Korea right now. written records about the relations of Korea and Japan are plentiful. The japanese have been advertising themselves as purely indigenous developed culture which is inaccurate.

[JKOO2008]

Japanese are not Korean but Korea helped Japan to be strong and be civilized

[sorinajima]

@JKOO2008 Massive Korean migrated to the islands from Korea over the span of a millennia, bringing farming technology and culture. There maybe some influx of people from other part of the world, but majority of japanese can trace its ancestors to the migrants from the peninsular.

[alHalwima]

@JKOO2008 Yeah Buddhism was the greatest gift you gave to the Japanese, up until you Koreans let Christian Fundies take over and destroy Korean Buddhist temples like a bunch of dumbass Klansmen.

[audgeyp]

This is so fascinating. I knew Korea had cultural influence on Japan but to say that Japanese are "Koreans" or vice-versa, I don't know..

[Cheon1Son]

who says japanese are koreans?

[audgeyp]

Isn't that the video's point, of origin in Korea?

Maybe I misunderstood.

[redwhitedude]

@Cheon1Son What I am wondering about this is are the Japanese royals direct descendants of Baekje because a branch of Baekje royalty married into the indigenous ruling family or are the Baekje royalty the ones that set up the Japanese state originallyi.e. became japanese royalty?

[melonbarmonster]

Japan is an island nation. The people and culture all came from somewhere. That's true of UK too. German, Saxon invasions and settlements are all historical fact that no one denies. In the same way Yamato Japan's ruling class was 1/3 Korea along with Chinese and indigenous ruling families. Even Japanese themselves are mix of minority Jomon and majority Yayoi people. Yayoi were basically immigrants from Korea. Even culture everything Japanese comes from China or Korea, language, writing, et

[KoreanKoreaKandoKlan]

In Korean: BaekJe ( Kingdom of 100 followers); In Japanese Kudara ( Kingdom of 100 followers).

[ryunbaik]

Kudara is Baekje in Japanese -_-;; Yamato's early developement was helped and supported by Kudara

[Irahka]

Kudara (百済) was formerly pronunced Kutara in Japanese. Baekje must have been a Chinese name as the Chinese characters show.

What on earth was the real Korean name for the state?

By the way, "Nippon" is the official name of Japan(日本) though the characters are pronounced in a regional dialect of Chinese. The pronunciation used in another Chinese dialect spread around the world. In Japan, "Yamato" was the name when people referred to their dynasty.

[tyoon90]

Beakje is the way how korean pronunce it.

[dukemam]

more like established by Baekje.

[Cheon1Son]

This month, 2 of Baekje ryoal family descendants from the Japanese islands visited Korea for the worship of one of Baekje emperors, their ancestor.

[yong4251]

koreans are not "eager" at all I suppose..

It is just that Japanese dont want to admit that their emperor shares the same blood with the people of baekJe when the emperor himself admitted that his ancestors were from baekJe. Many cultural trades were made between Japan and Korea and I suppose; Japan is not the second most powerful country ;; erm.... where did u get that fact anyways... prolly from jap propaganda../..

[jjangggae]

japaness language came fom korea

japaness language was korea's dialect

originaly kimono sush judo were from korea

in races of mankind Korean and japaness is mongolian ( races of nothern)

but actually chiness is not

chiness is races of south ( chiness race

[jjangggae]

originaly jodo sush kimono were came from koea

[Cheon1Son]

Do you mean the man at 1:22 ( former prime minister of Japan) ? His ancestors are from Balhae. Most of Japanese ancestors are from old Koreas. As you know Japanese people have so different appearances each other : most of them look Koreans (Korean blood line) ; some look southeastern Chinese (han Chinese) and others look mixtures with Whites and Blacks.

[Cheon1Son]

I have heard that, during Sumo, they use the word 'Hayiso' to urge the opposite to the competition. The word 'Hayiso' is Kyungsang-do (of Korea) dialect for "Ha-Si-Oh ( 하시오 Try / Go). Modern Japanese use the word without knowing the meaning of it.

[dhksrksalem]

backje(in korean) kudara(in japanese)

[derek4272]

are you sure of that korean is forfather of japanese?? how come we are so diffrent

[Cheon1Son]

Koreans already started migrating to the Japanese islands from thousands of years ago. The name 'Land of the Rising Sun", Nippon, was named by ancient Koreans. After the fall of Koguryeo and Balhae, so many people from the two dynasties crossed the East ses to the islands. Today's Japanese King is Baekje roayal family descendant. Tall and Big framed Japanese are mostly old Korean descendants.

[derek4272]

maybe people came from korean penisula..

but who knows if they were koreans.. I mean japanese language and korean language have no words in common. forexample norwegian and german has the same common ancestors and that you can see in the languages.. but between korean and jspanese there are none.

I bet koreans werent the only people coming to japan.

[Cheon1Son]

Oh, the two languages are so similar each other. For Koreans, japanese is the easiest langage to learn.

[derek4272]

i disagree . Maybe easy to learn fpr koreans but the languages isnt simillar at all . a japanese and a korean doesnt understand each other at all .

and there are no common words between korean and japanese that has the same herritage of so called ancient languange. Just give ten old words that are the same in korean and japanese that doesnt sound the same in chinese. I bet you cant even find one

[itskevinlee]

Why r u so against having roots form Korea? Korea is and was a great nation. Be proud of the fact that Some Japanese have Korean blood in them. And just b/c you don't like it doesn't change the fact that it happened. It's part of history, I don't like that Japan modernized before my people did and as a result took over and destroyed them, but I accept it b/c it's a part of history. You can't hid from the truth man. It's a part of history.

[derek4272]

of course I know many koreans came to japan and many japanese surely went to korea and neighbouring states in the old days, but to say korea is the forefather of japan is wrong. There were many other groups of people than so called "koreans" that came to japan. to say that korea is the forefather is just to easy with out any proof.

[derek4272]

how do you know that i have roots in korea?

just becuase you say so...??

you say that some japanese have korean roots, sure i agree with you on that, but far from all japanese. just like some koreans has japanese roots.

[eugeneluv]

In korean language,There are two type's word. first are chinese charactered word, and the others are pure korean pronounced word. If you can know about the later, you could know there are quite many words are common to japanese one

[Ganeschar]

I don't find any common between

Tibetans and Chinese

In fact with Mongols we share more than any other asia country.

[Cheon1Son]

True. Tibetans share so similar traditons including shamanism with the Mongols and the Koreans. Chinese are closer to southeastern Asian ethnics.

[itskevinlee]

sure they do, do you speak korean? I've watched many Japanese movies and noticed that the english subtitles for certain words are the same. There are a lot but the only one that comes to mind right now is pronounced "Yak su" which means promise in both languages. Also there are large stone monoliths in Japan that are 1000s of years old with Korean writing on them.

[derek4272]

no i dont speak korean.

yaksu or yaksok isnt a korean or japanese word its a chinese word that came into both countries when they imported  chinese letters. you dont know that becuse you probably dont know chinese letters. but the original word for promise is chigiri in japanese. in most languages that are related to each other you can find old words that sounds the same but in korean and japanese you can not. The words that sound the same mostly came from china.

[derek4272]

no i dont speak korean.

and yaksu or yak sok isnt a korean or japanese word its a chinese word.

[Cheon1Son]

No it is not Chinese. It is both Korean language characters and Japanese langauge characters. Because all the East Asians used the same language characters the pronounces sound similar very often each other. The old characters didn't originated in the Chinese.

[derek4272]

I agree on that becuase japan and korea used same chinese characters the words sound similar , that doesnt mean that all the words are korean. most likley chinese.

the japanese language has its own word for promise.. that is much older than yaksu or yaksok

Are you trying to say that chinese characters are not chinese?.

[klee4]

chinese came later than Koreans, Koreans introduce the Characters to chinese or whatever kingdom was ruled by Korean. Frankly, most of chinese are of blood line of Korean and Mongols.

[jjangggae]

japaness language is korea 's old language it was korea dialect

japan was influenced by korea

ex ) sush judo kimono originaly these are korea's

[klee4]

Korean ruled territories larger than china and ruled it longer than anyone else. In Northeast Asia,Koreans, Mongols, and Manchu which are all Koreans dominated longer than anyone. The vast chinese territory today was form by Kim Family who rule kingdom called "JUSIN" later known as Qing Dynasty or china; all Korean bloodline. Don't be surprised... it is true. Koreans were the roman empire of EAST.

[ryunbaik]

This guy here is one of the Chinese Communist Party group(CCP). Making nonsense claims to make others hate Korea even more. Koreans themselves know that we didn't create the Chinese writing and Chinese confucist ideas. That propaganda of "Hate Koreans" were all fake articles and fake newspapers to make others hate Korea. Do not believe this guy. He is a CCP!

[remotecont888]

Actually, the archeological findings and DNA science show that Korean is closer to Annu than Chinese or Mongols or Manchu. Chinese like to claim everything had been originated from China but that is not so. If we say Chinese, who do we refering to? China is made up of 56+ different ethinic groups (thery were nations before the chinese expansion). So, which chinese ethnic group wrote the chinese letter? Study shows that one of ethinc group who spread the farming technics, believed to be Koreans.

[ryunbaik]

Before the Mongols, that area was called GokTurks (ancient Turkey) allied with Goguryeo against the Sui Dynasty of China. GokTurks and Goguryeo were blood brothers!!! risen after the fall of Gojoseon!
