What is the historical origin of Korea?

In ancient times, residents of the Central Plains came to the Korean Peninsula for refuge or for some reason. Some Central Plains people established political power, such as Wei Man Korea and Jizi Korea. This shows that many Han Chinese came to the peninsula in ancient times. At that time, the indigenous three Koreans of the peninsula mainly lived in the southern part of the peninsula. Later Silla and Baekje were established in the southern part of the peninsula, and they continued to expand northward. During the Korean dynasty, the three countries of Korea basically unified the peninsula and continued to March to the peninsula.

Han Chinese migrated to the Korean peninsula in the Central Plains. For example, Ban Ki-moon's ancestors came from Henan, Lu's surname came from Dongyang, Zhejiang, Kong's ancestors came from Confucius, and Zheng, Li and other surnames also came from the Central Plains. But now, among the residents born and raised in the peninsula, there is no Han nationality, but all are Korean. When the ancient Central Plains people migrated to the past, they did not migrate all at once, but migrated sporadically in various dynasties. The number of people is limited, and the small number is naturally merged by three Koreans.

South Korea generally refers to the whole Korean peninsula, because the nationalities living in the southern part of the ancient Korean peninsula are Chen Han, Mahan and Han Ge. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in China, we called the Korean Peninsula South Korea, which was the earliest record that the peninsula was called South Korea. Although the later dynasties on the Korean peninsula did not use South Korea as the country name, they all used South Korea or Sanhan as nicknames.

/kloc-At the end of 0/9, the last emperor of the Korean dynasty, Emperor Gaozong, gave up the country name of the dynasty and adopted the nickname Korea, which had been used all along on the Korean peninsula, as the new country name. Emperor Gaozong believed that the ancient inhabitants of the peninsula were Sanhan, so the country on the land of Sanhan was naturally the country of Koreans. Under the leadership of Emperor Gaozong, the Korean Peninsula officially entered the historical stage with the Korean Empire as its name.

To give you a better understanding, the situation in China and South Korea is somewhat similar to that in China. We have different titles in China, such as Qin, Han, Tang and Song, but whether you are Qin, Han, Tang or Song, the political power of the Central Plains is China, posthumous title. Anyone who has read the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that Shu and Wu are called Cao Wei, both of whom belong to China. Although China has always been used as another name for the Central Plains regime, official titles have been the mainstay in all previous dynasties. Song is called Da Song, Ming is called Daming, Qing is called Qing, and Qing is more popular in the late Qing Dynasty. After the Revolution of 1911, the revolutionary army established the Republic of China, referred to as China for short, and China became another name of the Central Plains regime in previous dynasties, and officially entered the stage as a national title.

After World War II, the name of Korea, an ancient dynasty, was used as the name of the northern part of the peninsula, while the Republic of Korea was used as the name of the southern part of the peninsula. However, North Korea and South Korea are both Korean in English, which means South Korea. In order to distinguish these two countries with the same name, English-speaking countries are divided into north and south. North Korea is called North Korea Alpha (North Korea) and South Korea (South Korea).
