일본의 고대국가 「大倭」의 뿌리는 「韓」

The “Han(韓)” Origins of Japan’s Ancient State “Dae Wae(大倭)”

The Chinese ancient historical texts 『Huhan-suh (後漢書)』 and 『Samkuk-ji Wee-suh (三國志 魏書)』 disclose the story of Japan’s ancient state “Dae-wae (大倭japanese pronounce as ‘yamato’).” “Dae-wae” was the very first state ever recorded as “Wae Kuk(倭國).” Ancient Japan, located in the northern part of Kyushu(九州), consisted of around 30 small states with the leading state called Sama-Il Kuk(邪馬壹(台)國ㆍjapanese pronounce as ‘yamatai-kokook’). According to 『Wee-suh』 text, in the third century AD, Sama-Il Kuk had a population of approximately 300,000 inhabitants and was considered as one of the more powerful states. Also at this time, according to the 『Huhan-suh』, the “Sam Han(三韓)” or “Three Han” states, occupied the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. These three states consisted of “Ma-han(馬韓)”, composed of 54 small states, along with “Jin-han(辰韓)” and Byun-jin(弁辰), composed of 24 small states. Among these, “Ma-han” was the leading country in the region and held the right to designate the “King of Jin(辰王),” who had rule over the three states. The 『Wee-suh(魏書)』 text discloses an important fact that “Dae-wae(大倭)” was controlled by a strong man called “Dae-sol(大率)” and that “Dae-wae” only had control of markets and taxation matters of the country. “Dae-sol”, who was stationed in Ito State(伊都國) maintained power by controlling ancient Japan’s security and social order. The 『Wee-suh』 text states that the position of “Dae-sol” is equivalent to the “Ja-sa(刺史)” of China, or the special envoy to the Emperor. The 『Huhan-suh』 text states, however, that an official rank of “Dae-sol” existed in the “Ma-han” government. From this, we can conclude that this “Dae-sol” in the Ito State was an official sent by the “Ma-han (馬韓)” government, namely “King of Jin(辰王).” But in Japanese academic circles, this “Dae-sol” in the Ito State, was believed to be dispatched by the “Queen of Dae-wae(女王 卑彌呼)” to control the area of northern part of Kyushu. Furthermore, they insisted that the origin of ancient Japan is “Yamato(大和) Regime” which unified the country in the 4th and 5th Centuries AD. The “Yamato Regime” existed in the central part of mainland Japan in the Kansai(關西) area. Scholars in Japan believe that the state of “Dae-wae” disappeared from the map after change of the Wee(魏) Dynasty in China in the 3rd Century. However, this is not true. In fact, “Dae-wae” continued to exist in this area (Kyushu) and later expanded its territory into the mainland Japan by the assistance of the Baekjae(百濟) Kingdom, which eventually claimed the authority of “Ma-han” in the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, the origin of ancient Japan is not “Yamato Regime” of the Kansai area, but rather “Dae-wae”, which began in northern Kyushu during the 2nd and 3rd Centuries. In fact, “Dae-wae” has its origins in the Han(韓) states, namely “Ma-han” in the Korean Peninsula.
