Arthdal Chronicles

The first season of this fantasy story hits close to home. It depicts the cruelty and greed of villages that have the resources, food and technology to take advantage of others. The story doesn't waist time, the first episode starts with the Arthdal leaders asking the Neanthals to become part of their power. The Arthdal are afraid of the peaceful but strong Neanthals and pretend to negotiate, knowing they are not interested. And what do they do? The Arthdal leaders trick their own people and kill the Neanthals in order to take their lands. Asa Hon learns this when she is in the middle of the attack, and in order to safe Neanthal children, she leaves with a child and Ragaz, with whom she later has children with.

Arthdal continues to annihilate weaker villages, taking them as slaves for hard labor. It is Tagon, an Itgu in hiding, that makes all this possible for Arthdal. And even though he is loved by the village as a hero, his father and other leaders are trying to find ways of killing him, including making Mihol's daughter, Teaelha, into a spy. Even though Tagon is cruel, there is an innocence to his longing to be loved and accepted by the people. His relationship with Teaelha is of a love stronger than their ties to their families and interests. And even though we don't like what he does, some times we do wish him success in his endeavors and fight against the Arthdal leaders for power.

But it is the story of the Wahan Tribe that reminds us that Tagon and all Arthdal are cruel and greedy people that have no respect for others. This is a peaceful tribe in a far away land. They are more like Neanthals in their believes but they are also prejudice against Itgus like Eunseom, whose mother leaves him there before she dies. Eunseom's only true friend is Tanya, the daughter of the priestess and scientist of the village.

It is almost impossible to reach the place but Tagon and the Arthdal leaders find the way to reach the land, it takes them 10 years to reach it and less time to destroy it and take its people as prisoners and slaves. Here we see the struggle of these people who get separated, sold into slavery and fight with each other and their enslavers in order to survive. But it also shows the Wahan people mesmerized by the innovations and way of life in this civilized village.

Tanya ties Eunseom to her by naming him her dream and he will do anything to save her, but destiny takes them into two different paths. These two characters are also very naive, their innocence and sense of justice is what makes others follow them. They both want to forge a world where everyone is equal, no prejudice against people that are different, everyone on equal standing.

Tanya's relationship with Saya is a sad one at best. She is using Saya while Saya genuinely likes her. And even though, at some point she sees him as a friend and cares about him, she still uses his affection towards her. But she is not the only one using Saya, so is Tagon who separated him from his mother when he was a child and Teaelha who became his caregiver for Tagon. Still, Saya is not stupid and he knows how to play the game.

This first half ends with the downfall of the rule of the Arthdal leaders: Daekan, White Mountain, and Hae tribes; giving way to Tagon's rule under the name of Aramun; which damages the relationship he had with Teaelha. Tanya is now the high priest while Eunseom becomes a god for the Ago tribe and starts unifying weak tribes to end fights among them and focus on fighting against their common oppressor.

The second season starts 8 years after the final events of the first one. And the fighting is no longer centered on colonialism, but on taking down a threatening force that is not letting them continue with their expansion of territories. I have heard of people wondering why the change of actors for critical characters. I wouldn't have minded seeing the same actors since they are excellent ones and we got used to them. But I didn't mind the changes, I think that these new actors, brought some darkness to the characters that had been innocent and naive in the first season. They have learned to play the game and they are using what they have learned for their gain.

Tagon and Teaelha are no longer the close couple they had been, but they still love each other and have a son that unites them. Theirs is a tragic and powerful love story, tainted by the struggle for power.

In this half, we see Tagon's fall, and the rise of the ideology that drove Tanya and Eunseom into battle. But we are left with an open ending that promises more blood and restlessness. Saya wants Arthdal for his own since he can't have Tanya's love; and Teaelha wants to take Arthdal back as she promised Tagon; while Eunseom struggles to make Arthdal the land he and Tanya had envisioned.

It is the bloody story of a civilization in this fantasy world that reflects the truth about the history of our world so full of tyranny, blood and inequality.

It is not a story with clear lines and we will switch sides as their goals become twisted, but so is the story of rulers in the past and the present. This is a fantasy story, but it also criticizes what makes a country a country - it's bloody history of greedy men.

There are gods not only in China but also in Korea!

Many female doramas like to watch Chinese-made doramas, and read books that show celestials. They get angry when their favorite books are edited to remove vulgarity and perversion between the same sex. In China, dorayas with such a plot are thoroughly vetted and so are books, so that the rabid defenders of such a genre look ridiculous and perverted. But I'll write about it later, because there are also such perverts among Korean dorama fans. Especially the defenders of the King and Jester, pensioners who hysterically and aggressively defend a very disgusting and disgusting movie. Where one vulgarity and perversion, this movie is considered the most disgraceful after.

First Snow with a Japanese woman in both movies starred Lee Jun Ki both movies are the dirtiest stain in the actor's career.

And now I'd rather discuss the topic of celestials and what they were like in Korea, and how various doram girls mock this culture of mythology while beating their chests that they are doram girls. And it doesn't matter how old they are, because at any age you should be more respectful of other people's culture and realize with your head that Koreans can ridicule their culture of mythology. example can be any mythical creature, the same example can be any mythical creature, the same Finland, Scandinavia and others.! But Koreans don't know about it, and if they did, they would behave the same way. I read a book called “Vacation” as two supposedly half-breed Korean women went to a summer language camp (I think so) in Korea, and two naive foolish sisters fell into a sect. But the point is that the author of this “magnificent work” (and there is no such thing) mocked the mythology of the creation of Korea on behalf of the heroine and it shows very well that people of European nationality are ill-mannered and ignorant people.

There are so many celestials in China and I will definitely write about them someday. However, now I want to tell you about the celestials of Korea and who was the founder of Korea and who continued. Alas, because of people from foreign countries that brazenly penetrated into Joseon, and began to shake their rights, life there brazenly (however, foreigners now nothing has changed), many Koreans ceased to be Buddhists, Taoists and Confucianism, although there are still those who do not worship another's god and fly down from obsession, do not create sects.

There was a lord of the sky Hwanin, he as well as most of the sky lords had children, and just one of them was Hwanum, he often looked from the sky at the people living on earth. He dreamed of ruling there, and his father made concessions to him, he allowed him to descend to the mountain Paektusan, to help Hwanum, he gave him three thousand assistants, but also gave him three heavenly seals. Where Hwanum went down, there was a sacred tree where people often came to pray to the deities.

It was in this place that he built the “Abode of God” and in this he was helped by three spirits: “Rain, Wind, and Clouds” and they are described as ‘ministers of clouds, rain, and wind’ in Korean mythology he has a very important and central role in the myth of his son Tangun Wanggom (단군왕검, 檀君王儉) who started the foundation of the family name ‘Wang’ and as you remember the state of Goryeo was ruled by Wang Gong who I will also talk about later.

Tangun was the founder of Kochoson, the first Korean state, Kochoson was the old Joseon, founded in 2333 B.C. His father Hwanun was the son of Hwanin (환인, 桓因), the “King of Heaven” (a name also found in Indian Buddhist texts). Hwanum himself founded the city of Sinshi (신시; 神市, “god city” or “holy city”). As a deity and son of the king of heaven, as a wise god he developed rules of law, moral laws, trained people on earth in various crafts, and taught them medicine and agriculture.

So Hwanum lived on the land, and ruled over everything there, and one day he heard the prayers of a bear and a tiger. They lived in pere, and every day they prayed and asked him to make them human. He gave them each 20 garlic cloves, a stalk of wormwood, and told them to eat only that for 100 days and not to go out into the sunlight. But after three weeks the tiger disobeyed and broke the prohibition, he left the cave and only the bear remained, she was transformed into a woman. Her dream was fulfilled, but there was another dream and so the woman prayed at the sacred tree. She was grateful to Hwanum for making her human, but she wanted to marry, bear a child and continue her lineage. And moved by her earnest prayers, Hwanum took her to be his lawful wedded wife and she rather gave birth to a long-awaited child, to whom they gave the name Tangun, besides him Hwanum and Unneyo had a child

In one blog on zen, I read “Analysis of the myth of Tangun” I quote “The female bear Unnyo symbolizes the aboriginal population, and her marriage union with Hwanum allegorically depicts the process of mixing aliens with the inhabitants and the formation of a single ethnos. “ this is nonsense is real and reads as an insult towards Unneyo!

Unneyo is considered a goddess of the earth but not a “symbol of the aborigines” because during the reign of Hwanum and then Tangun there were no aborigines because it would have been difficult and impossible to teach them skills, they continued to run and moo.

As time passed, the son of Hwanum and Unnyeo grew up, and as a son of a ruler should, he inherited his father's throne, created Gochoson, and then built the capital of Asadal near modern Pyongyang (and the location of the capital of Asadal is still debated among historians) and named his kingdom Gochoson, not to be confused with the later state of Joseon!

Later he married, as it was necessary for a ruler to have heirs, and he found her among the deities like him.

“There is also a view that Asadal is a proper name of Joseon. Historian Lee Byung-do interprets the meaning of Asadal as “land of morning” “mountain of morning” or “;shining land of morning” and suggests that the country may have been named Joseon by combining the Korean characters for morning and the Korean characters for shining. He believes that “아사” in Asadal is the Korean word for “ morning” and “moon” means land, as in “ moon” in Yangdala and Eungdala, and that Asadal is the country of the morning sun or morning light, which would be transcribed in Chinese characters as Joseon."”

Hwanin (환인) is the grandfather of Tangun who is the founder of the Korean nation. The Korean source also says that Hwan-won gave him three heavenly wives.

In religion, the objects of faith are Hwan-in, Hwan-woon and Hwan-gum (Tangun). Unlike the common Gaechon holiday, the Daesong religion understands and celebrates Gaechon as the date when Hwanwon descended to Sindansu on Mount Baektu and opened a new city. According to the Daesong religion, the Gaechon holiday falls on the 3rd day of the 10th lunar month in the year of Sangwon Gapja (上元甲子年: 2457 BC). The Xinshi Gaecheon calendar, which is based on this date, is also used. The Shinshi Gaechon calendar is 124 years earlier than the Dangun calendar.

Views of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

The DPRK believes that Tangun existed in reality and believes that “the history of Tangun and ancient Korea has not been properly explained due to malicious distortion and erasure by archist historians and imperialists of Japan” In 1993, the DPRK officially announced the discovery of the remains of a man and a woman in Tangun's tomb on Dapaosan Mountain, Kandong-gun, Pyongyang City. The bones were dated 5011 years ago by electron-normal magnetic resonance (ENMR) and were identified as the remains of Tangun and his wife. The official Korean government recognizes Tangun as the founder of the first state in Korean history, Ancient Korea. (2333-425 BC)

Tangun became famous at the end of the Goryeo Dynasty, during the Mongol Revolt, and during the Joseon Dynasty, he became even more revered among the people and was honored as a national ancestor. During the Sejong Dynasty, a shrine was built to Tangun and King Dongmyeong (동명왕) for national worship. On Mount Kuwolsan (구월산) in the cultural county of Hwanhedo where a temple to Hwanun, Hwanin and Tangun on the mountain was also erected.

Naturally, Tangun is not a myth, but a man who really existed, and his and his wife's remains as proof. The story goes that he decided to become a mountain spirit, so it's not for nothing that many doramas show mountain spirits.

The chronology in South Korea was from 2333 from the time of Tangun's reign until 1961 perhaps now nothing has changed at all, even though there are foreigners living in Korea who have the nerve to ridicule it.

Also on October 3, Korea always celebrates Tangun Day, which is considered a national holiday.

In North Korea there is a mountain Myohyangsan, there is a stone cave, in which was born Tangun, who later founded Kochoson and then created the capital Asadal!

There are several books in which about Tangun, a lot of things are written and described in detail. Disgusting barbarians Japanese destroyed almost everything that was connected with the mention of Tangun, they behaved like barbarians and Joseon behaved the same way. They tried their best to destroy books with Korean history that mentioned Tangun at least once, they even destroyed books about the country's culture and geography.

With this behavior, they tried to destroy everything, to make people stupid and uneducated. There is nothing interesting in their country, and their mythology is most likely a copy of the mythology of China and Korea, and by the way, the Japanese barbarians stole the sacred fan and sword, they did not return them to Korea and most likely they did not return a lot of things to the country.

After the excavation of King Tangun's tomb was carried out, it was later found out that since the reign of Tangun, in ancient Korea, the original national alphabet was used.

And thanks to these excavations and it was proved that Tangun really existed and he is not a fictional character as many assure, but European doramshchitsy mock the history, often you can in different publicks, groups, sites to meet doramshchitsy who want to insult all this and show their disrespect and ignorance of foreign culture.
