Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about an interesting topic - "King Sungjo of Joseon". You may ask, who is the king of Joseon? In fact, in the history of the Joseon Dynasty, the title of "Seongjo" did not appear. So, why is there such a statement? This involves the misunderstanding of historical knowledge and the spread of fictional stories.
First, let's take a look at those Korean monarchs who may have been mistakenly referred to as "Seongjo". For example, Lee Sung-gye, who was the founding monarch of the Joseon Dynasty, is also known as the Joseon Taejo. During his reign, he implemented a series of important political and economic reforms that contributed to the rapid development and prosperity of the Joseon Dynasty. There is also Li Jiao, the ninth monarch of the Joseon Dynasty, whose temple name is Seongjong. During his reign, he compiled and promulgated the Classics of the Kingdom, which became a model for Korean criminal law. Then there is Li Yi, the son of Chengzong Li Jiao, that is, Zhongzong of Joseon. During his reign, the Shilin forces dominated the political situation in an all-round way, and also experienced the Renchen War.
Therefore, these monarchs have their own titles and historical status, and they have nothing to do with "King Chengzu". It may be because of the misunderstanding of some historical knowledge, or the spread of fictional stories, that the term "King Seongjo of Joseon" spread. However, we must not be fooled by these fictitious claims, and we must understand the real history through correct historical research and data inquiry.
In closing, I would like to say that history is a mirror that allows us to see the ups and downs of the past, and also allows us to learn from them. We must respect history, cherish history, and let history become the driving force for our progress. Well, that's all for today's sharing, I hope you like it.
