In Korean history when modernization begun has been questioned by many Korean scholars with their own different opinions. Both the realistic school and group that wanted to open the door of country to foreigners, who represented the intellectual elites at the society of the later Lee dynasty period, finally failed to accomplish an effort of modernization. After this failing arouse the Dong-Hak(東學) liberation movement the Korean lower class peasants led autonomically. In the Eastern Asia, at the time when westernization showed up came an decisive end of the Cho-Sun dynasty. Choi Suoun, a beginner of Dong-Hak(東學) ideology, proclaimed that every mankind must be equalized under the heaven. According to him, because every mankind lives with God, it must be honored like God. This is called Si Chun Ju(侍天主) ideology, which means that God lives in one s inside. It does not only involve Confucianism, Buddhism, Zen Buddhism and Christian humanism, but also overcome them all. Therefore, it must be regarded as the historical pioneer of modernization of the Cho-Sun dynasty. The egalitarianism which happened at the Dong-Hak(東學) peasants liberation movement had continually have influence on Korean independence movement against Japan imperialism, and after independence, it became a tremendous spark of 4.19 Korean students revolution movement for democracy against the Lee Seung Man dictatorship. It also was a basis of both the democratic human right movement under the Park Jung-Hee military regime and Kwang Ju civil disobedience movement against a newly emerging military dictatorship at 1980.
