East/Eastern Sea (Tung-hai东海/Chia Eastern Sea) on Chinese Map

Today, Eastern Sea is defacto standard terms for the ocean between China ana Japan. Now Im not talking about East sea by Korean propaganda. Actually China had hegemony in East A
sia through the century and every knowledge and information was reported and recorded in China. They call it Eastern Sea (Tung-hai东海 ) , the ocean between East of Shanghai area to Jeju island and Kyusyuu island, incruding Suyan-Rock苏岩礁. Most of European Maps referemced the name of Eastern Sea or Oriental Sea ,referenced from Chinese map.
China was well-known to European and their geography knowledge is quoted from Chinese geographic informations . China produced enormous number of Geographic magazine and Maps. I just show some maps which describes Chia Eastern Sea/Tung-hai , which is the original description of ,Mer du Cin, Mer du Orientale/Oriental Sea/Mer Bleue/Ostchinesche Meer) described between China East area and Korean Peninsula. Korean lier propaganda scholor cheats us to explain those East China Sea as the evidence of "Korea East Sea"

D'anville Royaulme De Coree and Qing dynasty's 皇輿全覧圖

After the publication of D'anville's Map, Corea(Korea) become clealy recognized in Europe.

On 1707, Qing-dinasty Emperror "康熙帝" ordered to the missionary of Societas Iesu to produce map ,which based on the information by Surveying.
Tartary's officer brought from Corea to China that Map of Corea which it was stored on palace of Corea . (Du halde "China" Page 530 line 7)
On 1717 Map had completed and named 皇輿全覧図.  D'anville's map of "Royaume de Coree"D'anville is the French translated version of 皇輿全覧図.


1735 - Pere J. B. Du Halde with maps by d'Anville, "Description Geographique, Historique, Chronologique, Politique, et Physique de l’Empire de la Chine et de la Tartarie Chinoise" was publised in The Hague. The Korean map was illustrated in the book.

1737 - "Royaume de Coree, Nouvel Atlas de la Chine" by d'Anville

1927.満漢合璧清内府一統輿地秘図ーーDiscovered on 1927 ,. This map is said that one of the original copy of 皇輿全覧図 published on 1717.


Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville (1697-1782), perhaps the greatest geographical author of the 18th century, was born at Paris on the 11th of July 1697. Both a geographer and cartographer, he greatly improved the standards of map-making. His maps of ancient geography, characterized by careful, accurate work and based largely on original research, are especially valuable. He left unknown areas of continents blank and noted doubtful information as such; compared to the lavish maps of his predecessors, his maps looked empty.

Matteo Ricci, SJ (October 6, 1552 – May 11, 1610; traditional Chinese: ; simplified Chinese: ; pinyin: dòu; courtesy name: 西 tài) was an Italian Jesuit priest.

Matteo Ricci was born in 1552 in Macerata, then part of the Papal States. Ricci started learning theology and law in a Roman Jesuits' school. In 1577, he filed an application to be a member of a Missionary to India, and his journey began in March 1578 from Lisbon, Portugal. He arrived in Goa, a Portuguese Colony, in September 1578, and four years later he was dispatched to China.

竹島問題、日本海呼称問題の関係と反日

 韓国政府が、反日教育を実施し、反日運動を促進する理由は、単純です。竹島問題で、日本人が根負けして、竹島の領有を諦めるような世論に仕向ける事です。 彼らは、日本人は飽きっぽく、トラブルを好まず、また流されやすい事を知っているので、いかに日本人が根負けをするようにしつこく執拗に陰湿に反日運動を続けます。そんなにこだわるのなら、国際司法裁判所に行ったほうが費用も労力も安いのですが、彼らにとっては、これは戦争と一緒なのです。まあ、韓国は竹島を侵略し不法占拠していることを自覚しているのでしょう。
 日本海呼称問題は、一見、唯一日本に侵略して奪い取った”竹島”が"日本海”にあるのが彼らにとっては都合が悪く、"独島”は"東海"でなければならないという、彼らの妄想・願望が底にあるように見えますが、じつは別の理由があります。 それはやはり竹島問題なのです。
 現状、韓国が国際司法裁判所に出ても勝訴する見込みはほぼ無い為、日本が主権を放棄/譲渡すると言う事意外に不法占拠と言う状態が何時までも続き、韓国は正式に竹島を領有する根拠/証拠が全くありません。そこで彼らが狙っているのが、日本人の根負けです。反日活動が多くなれば、じゃあ、竹島は譲ってやろう、という、無責任・無関心層の増加を狙っている節があります。
竹島は、歴史的にも国際法的にも、日本の領土であることが実は韓国側が一番痛感しているわけで、 そのために、韓国国内では、いい加減な文書を「韓国領の証拠である」と捏造の解釈、翻訳をつけてマスメディアにナショナリズムを鼓舞させ、外国にそういった洗脳された"愛国者”を操って、プロパガンダを海外にばら撒いているのです。もちろん何も知らない外国人は、調べもせずに”日本が悪い”と思うようになります。

 韓国側は、主に北東アジア歴史財団という、韓国政府のお抱えの財団が、VANKというインターネットテロリストを支援しています。この北東アジア歴史財団と言うのは、”歴史”の為の財団ではなくて、朝鮮日報の報道にもあるように、明らかに日本を狙った反日財団であり、これは韓国政府から資金が出ています。彼らが世界中で反日プロパガンダをばら撒き、竹島や日本海に関する記述を韓国の都合のよい記述に書き換えるまで、繰り返しSPAMを送りつけています。 また、これらの活動に、反日企業のSamsungも出資しており、蔚陵島にプロパガンダ博物館を作っています。またキムジャンフンや貴方の知っている韓国人タレントも、実は反日プロパガンダに加担しているというのは珍しくないのです。 マスコミが意図的にそれを隠蔽しています。
 
 韓国が採っている戦略は、反日運動を韓国国内で盛り上げたり、教育にプロパガンダを持ち込み将来の”反日戦闘員”を養成しています。これらは実は韓国内の一部の教員の間でも議論があることはあるのですが、これに公然と異議を唱える事は即ち社会から抹殺される一種のファシズム社会ですのでRusk Documentを知っていても、于山島が竹島ではなく竹嶼であるとわかってしまっても、皆沈黙します。
 海外では反日プロパガンダを拡散させ、日本国内で所謂"良心的日本人”が増えるようプロパガンダを流す。 そして”不法占拠の度合いを”を着々とていくのです。さらに日本海呼称問題・対馬・慰安婦・教科書とリンクさせ、対日イメージの悪化を推進するために、更なるプロパガンダ拡散に励む。このプロパガンダ反日活動を応援する韓国人タレントも存在しますが日本でそのような反日運動が韓国芸能人・マスメディア・学校・政府とリンクしているのを知っているのはごく一部の”韓国通”だけです。 所謂”親韓日本人”は、この現実から意図的に目をそらしています。また、親韓日本人を装う工作員の朝鮮人の存在も確認されています。
 国際世論で、日本が悪玉であり、竹島の件でも侵略者だと印象操作を図る事。 この手のプロパガンダは中国もやっていますが、日本を悪玉に仕立てる事で、自分達がまるで被害者であるかのような印象を、事情の知らない外国人に印象付けているのです。

 そ うやって、反日運動が盛り上がれば、日本人が根負けして、日本側がやがて譲歩する、と本気で思い込んでいるのです。是が韓国側の竹島問題に対す る戦略の根幹です。 韓国側は歴史上及び国際法上竹島は韓国領土ではなく、日本が韓国に対して不法占拠を抗議している限り実効支配は認められず、不 法占拠であることは自覚している感がある。 そのため韓国にとっては、日本側の根負けが必要なのであるが故の時間稼ぎをするためにリンクさせているのです。
  
 日本の根負けを引き出すには、日本が嫌がる事を継続的に陰湿な方法を持ってねちっこくする。それが対馬であり、日本海呼称問題であり、慰安婦や教科書問題なのです。
 しかし、根負けをしてしまうとどうなるか、これはわかりきっています。 日本は韓国の歪曲プロパガンダを認めたことになりますから、世界から日本に対する偏見、やがては反日運動に駆けつけて日本製品不買運動などに繋がる可能性があります。 また、現在は何も 言わないが、このような反日運動が飛び火して、金目当てに他の国も言いがかりを付けてくる可能性があります。 日本人が、「平和主義」云々で、何もせず放 置しておく事は、将来、そして子供達の代にまでとんでもない状況を作ってしまう事になるのです。 日本があれだけ莫大な資金や技術を援助しても、やつらの 態度は一向に変わらないのです。我々の税金はどぶ川に垂れ流されているのと一緒です。 なので、やつらのプロパガンダは、粉砕する必要があります。その中心が竹島なのです。そして、その陽動作戦の一端を担っているのが、日本海呼称問題なのです。
 それゆえ、こういった日本を仮想敵国とみなし、日本に大変失礼な態度で歪曲プロパガンダを流す韓国に妥協する必要はないのです。

Korean's "East Sea" in the 13th Century in world maps? No!, It is distorture.

I really got shocked that Korean scolor claims real idiot and ignorance. Im not sure he insist intentional or just a igrorance. Anyway,check it below text by Korean co-called scolor Sinh Kim金新 in Kyunghee Univ in S.Korea.

---quote from Shin Kim's "East Sea Forum---
On top of this, the history since the 13th century, when the East Sea first appeared in world maps, was divided up into centuries for convenience. Each century was examined and analysed to study the process of transitions in the East Sea naming.

--quote end--

Im not sure which map he claims on his forum. The famous map known for China on 1185 is 古今華夷區域揔要圖 made in China. There discribes East Sea東海,which means "China"Eastern Sea. There locates between west of Korean Peninsula and east of China. It is no relation with "Korean" East Sea.

At least Korean's oldest map is published on 15Century so it cannot confirmed Korean East Sea on 13th century.


Vinland Map, Carpine, Yale University, 1440 - MARE OCCEANUM ORIENTALE

  Talking about European maps, Everyone know there are no world maps describes Korea in 13th Century. The name of "Oriental sea/ocean"/"Ocean Evos Orientalis" was described on various locations, e.g. Indian Oean, South East Asia, South China Sea , Philippine Sea, mostly, it has used as the meaning of "Eastern Edge of the World" in each era and it depends on the improvement of world geographic knowledge. Ofcourse Those are not meant to write "Corea East Sea". On Those maps, Korea and Korean Peninsula was no recognized at all.

Around the 16-17th Century, prominent description for for Sea of Japan was "blank" or "Mer de Cin(China) or Mer Orientale". But Checking the maps, there describes "Mer Orientale", some is only Sea of Japan part and some describes both Sea of Japan and south side of Japan coast, as the meaning "The Sea around Japan Islet ".

Korea Peninsula had been considered as "island", separate from China" in early stages when Korea had been recognized in the world map around 16th century. On 17th century it was recognized as "peninsula".Around 1720-1730's Danville' translated Huang-yu quan-lan-tu輿全覧図  in China and he introduced China and Corea to the European country, "Mer du Coree"or "Corean Sea" name had been increasing on European Maps from 1730-1780's ,although "Eastern Sea" or "Oriental Sea" was minority in the world maps.

(later I will upload map list and details "Oriental Sea" in the maps)

Alabama Univ old map survey result on the Website. survey for Sea of Japan description

I did serched how Sea of Japan part discribes on the old maps in Alabama Univ. Website .The result is as follows; I checkd from four category.
1.Continent
2.East Asia
3.SouthEast Asia
4.Japan

1550-1600 None discription.
1601-1650 China Sea 2(66%) Oriental Sea 1(33%) total 3
1651-1700 Oriental Sea 1(100%) total 1
1701-1750 Oriental Sea 2(22%) Eastern Sea 1(11%) Corea sea 2(44%) Japan Sea 4(44%) Total 9
1751-1800 Corea sea 10(76%) Japan Sea 3(23%) Total 13
1801-1850 Corea Sea 7(10%) Japan Sea 57(87%) Corea n Japan 1(1%) total 65
1851-1900 Japan Sea 77(100%) total 27
1901-1911 Japan Sea 27(100%) total 27
Gttl 145 Map list(Excel files)

In the result, It is almost match with the result with survey by Japan's Ministery of Foreign affairs (See here map inspection result on each libraries.).

There are no map found describes "East Sea". "Corean Sea"had increased from 1700-1800,It can be assumed by French Danville's report around 1820's from China to Europe by his map ,copied and translated from Chinese to French. on the other hand ,late of 18Century to early 19Century, Sea of Japan dominates of its own area name, .Assuming that La Perouse, Arrowsimith's reports promotes Sea of Japan name and Krusestern's comments determined the fate of the name of Sea of Japan. Sea of Corea or Oriental or Eastern Sea name had disappear, but "Corea"'s name succeed to Korea strait and Gulf Of Korea(Today's East Chosun Gulf/Bay)

Korean text book of Sea of Japan around early 20Century.

Korean text book of Sea of Japan around early 20Century.

There are many evidences which Korea use Sea of Japan. Korea distorts the name of Sea of Japan is Colonial and expansionism name. but it is obvious that Korean claim is distorture. They did use Sea of Japan often, it is ofcourse it was before Korea be annexed in 1910.

Above those two famous Korean textbook also uses Sea of Japan. It is not only textbook which use Sea of Japan but also many variety of Great Korean Imperial’s official document and Newspaper in Korea. It is because Sea of Japan had already been defacto standard at that time so they use Sea of Japan in various documents: check here ( By Nidanosuke).

on the other hand the attached map of Daehan-sin-jisi describes Daehanhe(Great Korean Sea:Left)

1908’s Great Korean Imperial Map (大韓帝国地図)wrote as well (Right side map)

1908. Newest High DaehanJiji最新高等大韓地誌 describes Sea of Chosun(Korea)朝鮮海, which suggests today’s East Korean Gulf東朝鮮湾, that is to say, BroughtonBay which was commonly recognized in international society at that time. On the other hand, they use Sea of Japaan in the east of Korean penunsula which the sea off-shore area. https://search.i815.or.kr/ImageViewer/ImageViewer.jsp?tid=co&id=3-005112-000


By the way the same book "Newest higher Daehan jisi"describes the sea southeast of 威鏡北道 called ”日本海”(Japan Sea)
