중등 역사교육에서 마한사의 의미 = The Significance of Mahan History in Secondary School History Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigates the significance of Mahan history within secondary school history education. Through an analysis of Mahan-related references in Korean and Chinese historical texts, epigraphic sources, and archaeological evidence, it reassesses the historical position of Mahan. Classical sources, including the Sanguozhi and the Samguksagi, consistently present the Samhan—centered on Mahan -as a foundational framework of early Korean history and as the point of origin for Baekje and Silla. Archaeological evidence further indicates that Mahan developed a distinctive cultural tradition in the Yeongsan River basin, particularly reflected in burial practices such as jar coffins and mounded tombs. These findings highlight Mahan’s crucial role in the formation of ancient states in the southern Korean Peninsula and underscore its significance in regional history. In light of these considerations, this study argues that Mahan history warrants greater emphasis in secondary school history education.
