Historiography of Korea

Korean historiography is the way of writing Korean history. The historiography of Korea has evolved over time, reflecting specific periods and cultural contexts, leading to a better understanding of Korean history. During the Joseon Dynasty, historical narratives were influenced by the perspective of the royal court, emphasizing a state-centric view. However, through the independence movement and the Japanese colonial period, Korean historiography shifted towards a more realistic analysis and critical thinking. Modern Korean historiography attempts to offer multi-dimensional understanding through independent perspectives, diverse theories, and methodologies, highlighting the comparative characteristics and significance of Korean history.
