1907 - "Chodeung Daehan Jiji" (初等大韓地誌)


The book pictured on the left was a Korean geography book entitled, "Chodeung Daehan Jiji," (初等大韓地誌 - 초등대한지지), which translates as "Elementary Level Geography of the Korean Empire." It was written by An Jong-hwa (安鍾和) and Yu Geun (柳瑾) and published in November 1907 as an elementary school geography book. It is stored in the National Libarary of Korea.
The book has only forty-three pages that are divided into twenty-four chapters. The first chapter is entitled "Location & Boundaries" and gives the location of Korea in relation to its neighbors in East Asia. It then gives the north-south, east-west latitudes and longitudes of the farthermost points of Korea, and then lists the names of those points. Korea's easternmost point was described as the island of Ulleungdo in Uldo County of North Gyeongsang Province (慶尙北道 鬱島郡 鬱陵島 -경상북도 울도군 울릉도).
 
Korea claims that Liancourt Rocks were a part of Uldo County (鬱島郡 - 울도군) and were referred to as "Seokdo" (石島 - 석도), but they have no evidence to support their claim. Moveover, the longitude given for Korea's easternmost point in the above geography book excludes Liancourt Rocks from Korean territory. Also, it lists the island of Ulleungdo in Uldo County as being Korea's easternmost point. If Liancourt Rocks had really been a part of Uldo County, then they would have been listed it as Korea's easternmost point. The fact that they were not listed is more evidence against the Korean claim.
 
The geography book also mentioned the island of Ulleungdo in more detail in Chapter Twenty-two, which was entitled "Scenic Communities" (勝地 都會 - 승지 도회). The description gave the longitude of Ulleungdo as extending from 130 degrees 35 minutes to 130 degrees 45 minutes, but Ulleungdo, including its neighboring island of Jukdo (竹島 - 죽도), actually extends from approximately 130 degrees 47 minutes to 130 degrees 57 minutes. This suggests that the longitude given for Ulleungdo in this chapter was an older, less accurate measurement than the one in Chapter One, which described Ulleungdo's eastern boundary as being at 130 degrees 58 minutes. The description in Chapter 22 also mixed up the names for latitude and longitude.
 
Ulleungdo was also described in Chapter Twenty-two as having an island named "Usando" (于山島 - 우산도) to the southeast, but no distance was given. Liancourt Rocks is ninety-two kilometers to the southeast of Ulleungdo at a longitude of 131 degrees 52 minutes, which is way outside the boundary the book gave for both Ulleungdo and for Korea's easternmost point.
 
It is possible the Usando mentioned in the geography book was referring to Liancourt Rocks (Dokdo), but it is also possible that it was referring to Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo (竹島 - 죽도). Usando was the old Korean name for Jukdo, which is about about 2.2 kilometers off the east shore of Ulleungdo. Actually, by 1907, Koreans on Ulleungdo were supposedly referring to Liancourt Rocks as "Dokdo" (獨島 - 독도) or by the Japanese name of "Yangko-do," while the original location of Usando had already been forgotten. (See "Location of Usando Unknown in Early 1900s.")
 
The following is my English translation of the relevant passages from the 1907 geography book. It is followed by the Korean text.
Chapter 1: Location and Boundaries
 
The Korean Empire is located in the eastern part of Asia. Its neighbor to the southeast is Japan, and it borders Russian territory on the northeast. The west and north border Manchuria, and the southern border faces faces the sea. Its northern latitude stretches from 33 degrees 13 minutes to 43 degrees 2 minutes. Its eastern longitude stretches from 125 degrees 50 minutes to 130 degrees 58 minutes. The eastern point is Ulleungdo in Uldo County of North Gyeongsang Province, and the western point is at Cape Jangsan in Jangyeong County in Hwanghae Province. The the southern point is Port Moseul on the island of Jeju in South Jolla Province, and the northern point is Tomun River in North Hamgyeong Province. The area is 82,000 square ri.

Chapter 22: Scenic Communities

Uldo is the old Ulleungdo. Its northern latitude stretches from 130 degrees 45 minutes to 35 minutes. It’s eastern longitude stretches from 37 degrees 34 minutes to 31 minutes. Three peaks prop up the sky. Its area is about 504 square ri. It produces many medical herbs and much timber. Usando is southeast of here.

    This is one of the very important evidences because it was published before the annexation, and it was published by the official educational bureau of Korean Empire, not by Japanesse government.

  10. Gerry,

    Thanks for showing the inside of the back cover. It seems that this was published by a Korean publisher and was adopted to a textbook.

    It seems that the translation didn't include a big mistake. Most importantly, the sentences relating the location of Korean Empire seems correct. It apparently excluded Liancourt Rocks.

  11. GTOMR,

    Jang Ji-yeon died in 1921, but after his death others collected and compiled his writings into a 12-volume set of books called, "Wui-am Mugo" (韋庵文稿). Supposedly, they applied to have the books published during Korea's colonial period, but the Japanese authorities wanted to delete certain parts, so they were not published until 1956.

    Anyway, he would have had to write the document sometime during his lifetime, which was from 1864 to 1921.

    張志淵 also published 大韓新地誌 on 1907, which discribes Usando in southeast of Ulluengdo, like 初等大韓地誌, however, he wrote Usando is another old name of Ullunegdo, in the 韋庵文稿卷之九 外集 社説中 東事考略十五篇 讀史有感 于山國, partly referenced text from 三国史記 and so on.

  20. 당신의 계산은 잘못하고 있습니다.
    독도의 최고점을 157미터로서
    독도가 보이는 고도는, 울진(215킬로미터)에서는, 해발 1900미터 필요합니다.
    고도 1567미터의 산의 정상으로부터, 독도를 보기 위해서는, 산과 독도와의 거리는, 200킬로미터 이하가 아니면 안됩니다.

    당신의 주장을 인정합니다.

    지구의 반지름을 6400km로 계산해서,
    2289m가 되어야 독도를 볼 수 있습니다.

    그렇기 때문에, 세종실록지리지에서 기록을 바꾼 것입니다.

    pacifist의 글에서 봤습니다.

    세종실록 이전에는 울진과 삼척에서 두 섬을 볼 수 있다고 기록했습니다.

    하지만, 세종실록지리지에서는 두 섬이 서로 가까워 맑은 날씨에 볼 수 있다고 기록했습니다.

    이제야 이유를 알겠습니다.

    하지만, 당신들이 말하는 죽도는 한반도에서 보이지 않습니다.

  26. lord,

    Kawakami Kenzo didn't actually say Takeshima/Dokdo cannot be seen from Uleungdo. If you insist he did and use distorted logics of Korean so-called professors, please show me the original writing of him, not Korean. Or you are practically slandering him. I know you can't because I know what he actually wrote. Don't use Korean prosessors logics without checking original documents.

    Besides, being able to see Jukdo from pennisula or not is not important at all, since until the end of 17C, Ulleungdo and Usando was considered to be one island or one island group. Those Korean old documents are saying Ulleungdo's trees and seashores can be seen from peninsula on a clear fine day, not Jukdo. It doesn't match with the situation of Takeshima/Dokdo from Ulleungdo at all, anyway.

  28. lord,

    I said you need to give us the evidence Kawakami said Takeshima/Dokdo cannot be seen from Ulleungdo.

    And I also said that Korean documents are not saying Jukdo nor Takeshima/Dokdo can be seen from peninsula. It's Ulleungdo, whose alias name of ancient times were Usando. Usando was not Jukdo until 1700s.

    Read below.

    1452年 - 「高麗史」巻五十八 地理三
    "在縣正東海中 新羅時 称于山国 一伝武陵、一伝于陵 一云 于山 武陵 本二島、相距不遠 風日清明 則可望見"

    1454年 - 「世宗実録」 地理志 江原道襄陽縣
    "于山 武陵 二島 在縣正東海中 二島相去不遠 風日清明 則可望見 新羅時 称于山国 一云鬱陵島 地方百里 恃険不服"

    Usando/Ulleungdo in those documents were actually Ulleungdo or Ulleungdo group, not Jukdo alone. The real fact is, Ulleungdo can be easily seen from Korean peninsula on a fine day just like "高麗史 巻五十八 地理三" and "世宗実録 地理志 江原道襄陽縣" says.

    We can easily verify the fact in various Korean old documents. Actually, it was very common recognition recorded in many Korean old documents.

    On the other hand, Takeshima/Dokdo cannot be easily seen from Ulleungdo even on a fine and clear day unless you got very lucky because it can be seen only a few days a year. There is only one documents which recorded Korean saw Dokdo/Takeshima from Ulleungdo before 1900s. (張漢相' 1694 report of Ulleungdo inspection).

    1481年 - 「東国輿地勝覧」巻四五
    "蔚珍縣 于山島 鬱陵島 一云武陵 一云羽陵 二島在県正東海中 三峯及業掌空 南峯梢卑 風日清明則峯頭樹木 及山根沙渚 歴々可見 風便則二日可到 一説干山 鬱陵 本一島 地方百里"

    1530年 - 「新増東国輿地勝覧」

    The description never fits with the REAL situation of Takeshima/Dokdo from Ulleungdo, but Ulldungdo from peninsula.

    Moreover, in 1694, when the dispute over Ulleugdo occured between two countries, Korean Joseon official cited the exact sentence and claimed that Ulleungdo is Korean territory since it says that Ulleungdo can be seen from Korean peninsula in "輿地勝覧書"

    Read below.

    1694年 - 粛宗實録 20年8月13日
    " 朝鮮国礼曹参判李番、奉復日本国対馬大守平公閣下、槎使鼎来、恵□随至、良用慰荷弊邦江原道蔚珍県有属島、名曰蔚陵(=鬱陵島)、在本県東海中、而風濤危険、船路無便、故中年移其民空其地、而時遣公差往来捜検矣、本島峰巒樹木、自陸地歴々望見、而凡其山川紆曲、地形濶狭、民居遺址、土物所産、倶戴於我国輿地勝覧書、歴代相伝、事跡昭然、今者我国辺海漁氓往其島、而不意貴国之人自為犯越、与之相値、反拘執二氓、転到江戸、幸蒙貴国大名明察事情、優加資此、可見交隣之情於尋常、欽□高義、感激何事、然雖我氓漁採之地、本是蔚陵島(=鬱陵島)、而以其産竹、或称竹嶼(=鬱陵島)、此之一島而二名也、一島二名之状、非徒我国書籍之所記、貴州人亦皆知之、而今此来書中、乃以竹島為貴国地方欲令我国禁止漁船更往、而不論貴国人侵渉我境、拘執我氓之夫、豈不有欠於誠信之道乎、深望将此辞意転報東武、申飭貴国辺海之人、無令往来蔚陵島、更致事端惹起、其於相好之誼不勝幸甚、佳領謝、薄物侑緘、統惟照亮、不宣"


    Choson dynasty in 1694 had ability to read 漢文 and identified that the island which can be seen is Ulleungdo and it is from peninsula, but it seems Korean nowadays lost the ability and became illiterate of 漢文.

  29. lord,

    Why can't you even show what actually Kawakami wrote in his book?

    Anyway, technically, I have to consider that you admit you lied about Kawakami Kenzo's sentence. Agreed?

    All the documents I quoted above are from original Korean documents and I only believe original documents, not the second hand resources like you are continuously doing. Why don't you believe your own ancesters's own documents? All the documents clearly suggest that it is Ulleugndo or Ullgungdo island group that can be seen from Choson peninsula, not Takeshima from Ulleungdo.

    If you don't read original documents and rely on the translation done by someone else, especialy Korean so-called scholars, it will cost you a lot. Now I got to know that you haven't even read Kawakami's book though you critisized he said Takeshima cannot be seen from Ulleungdo, which actually he didn't say. I know hanmaumy's crazy anti-Japan site and we've already showed how Hanmaumy misleads readers ages ago by not showing whole documents or showing selectivel documents.

    When you come back , please bring your own translation and its original documents.

  30. There was a wrong link in my comments above. I'd like to correct it and add some more links useful.

    Sorry for any inconvenience.

    Korean documents are not saying Jukdo nor Takeshima/Dokdo can be seen from peninsula. It's Ulleungdo, whose alias name of ancient times were Usando. Usando was not Jukdo until 1700s.

    Read below.

    "于山 武陵 二島 在縣正東海中 二島相去不遠 風日清明 則可望見 新羅時 称于山国 一云鬱陵島 地方百里 恃険不服"

    Usando/Ulleungdo in those documents were actually Ulleungdo or Ulleungdo group, not Jukdo alone. The real fact is, Ulleungdo can be easily seen from Korean peninsula on a fine day just like "高麗史 巻五十八 地理三" and "世宗実録 地理志 江原道襄陽縣" says.

    We can easily verify the fact in various Korean old documents. Actually, it was very common recognition recorded in many Korean old documents. " Visible Ulleungdo from Korean peninsula, not about Liancourt Rocks from Ulluengdo"

    On the other hand, Takeshima/Dokdo can hardly be seen from Ulleungdo even on a fine and clear day unless you got very lucky and it is less than 10 days a year on a high place with a direction board sign. Besides, there is only one documents which recorded Korean actually "saw" Dokdo/Takeshima from Ulleungdo before 1900s. (張漢相' 1694 report of Ulleungdo inspection shows Usando is not, Takeshima/Dokdo, but Jukdo.), hence we know that it is "possible" to see Takeshima/Dokdo from Ulleugdo, but "extremely rare".

  31. Gerry Bevers,

    Ulleungdo was also described in Chapter Twenty-two as having an island named "Usando" (于山島 - 우산도) to the southeast, but no distance was given. Liancourt Rocks is ninety-two kilometers to the southeast of Ulleungdo at a longitude of 131 degrees 52 minutes, which is way outside the boundary the book gave for both Ulleungdo and for Korea's easternmost point.
    -->
    Isn't it ok for you to admit the Usando in this book is Dokdo? There's no other island located to the southeast of Ulleongdo than Dokdo. Jukdo you insist as Dokdo is not to the southeast of Ulleungdo. As for the longitude, it seems the writer had no exact knowledge on the longitude of Ulleongdo, which suggests the longitude described in this book meaningless.

    Also, it lists the island of Ulleungdo in Uldo County as being Korea's easternmost point. If Liancourt Rocks had really been a part of Uldo County, then they would have been listed it as Korea's easternmost point. The fact that they were not listed is more evidence against the Korean claim.
    -->
    You don't have any doubt Jukdo was included in the Uldo County, do you? Then, why didn't this book list Jukdo as Korea's easternmost point? Does it suggest Jukdo was not a part of Uldo County?

    The farthermost points of Korea given in this book are not accurate. The westernmost , northernmost and southernmost points of Korea are Ma-ahn Do(馬鞍島), Yu-pho Jin(柔浦鎭) and Ma-ra Do(馬羅島) respectively. This means you can't conclude Dokdo is not the easternmost point because this geography book wrongly gave Ulleongdo as easternmost point of Korea.

    I know how hard you try to prove Usando is not Dokdo, but you can't succeed in proving every Usando in Korean old maps and documents isn't Dokdo.
