이복규 ( Bok Kyu Lee ) 온지학회 2012 溫知論叢 Vol.0 No.30

이 글은 이홍기 편 ?조선전설집?(1944)의 존재 양상을 자세히 알리고,이것이 한국 최초의 우리말 전설집이라는 사실을 주장한 논문이다. 그간에는 최상수의 ?한국민간전설집?(1958)을 최초 전설집이라고 인식해왔는데 그렇지 않다는 새로운 주장을 펼쳤다. 최상수의 것에 비해 그 완성도가 떨어지기는 하지만 우리나라 사람이 우리말로 엮은 최초의 전설집인 것이 분명하며, 도별로 엮은 점, 초기의 구비문학 연구자 고정옥에게 적극 활용된 것도 명백한 사실임을 밝혔다. 이홍기의 전설집은 모두 167편의 전설을 싣고 있으며, 지역별로 자료를 배열하고 있다. 경기도 10편, 충청도 7편, 전라도 6편, 경상도 10편, 황해도 8편, 평안도 9편, 강원도 5편, 함경도 11편이다. 수록 전설의 유형을 분류한 결과, 지명(地名19편), 암석(8편), 고승(4편), 원령(怨靈4편), 씨족시조(3편), 총묘(塚墓3편), 불사연기(佛寺緣起3편), 용(3편), 수업(修業3편), 지소(池沼2편), 열녀(2편), 불상(佛像2편), 힘내기(힘경쟁담 2편), 보은형(2편), 용천(湧泉1편), 미혈(米穴쌀나오는 구멍 1편), 정자(亭子1편), 임진왜란(1편), 풍수(風水1편), 의견(義犬1편), 효자(1편), 기타(1편)이었다. 가장 많은 것이 지명전설(19), 그 다음이 암석전설(8)임을 알 수 있었다. 각각 전체의 28퍼센트, 12퍼센트를 차지한다. 이 같은 양상은 최상수의 책에 실린 전설의 유형 분류 결과와 유사하여 흥미롭다. 다른 자료집(북한에서 간행한 설화집 및 최상수가 펴낸 전설집)과 비교한 결과, 최상수의 전설집에는 없는 전설들이 이 전설집에 실려 있었다. 서로 중복되어 실려있는 자료라 할지라도 차이가 있었다. This paper aims to look into what Joseonjeonseoljip (1944), the anthology of Korean folklore compiled and edited by Lee Hong-gi, consists of and to establish the fact that it is Korea`s first Legends anthology written in Korean. A new claim is proposed against the Anthology of Korean Legends (1958) by Choi Sang-su that it is not the first anthology. Although compromising the degree of perfection, the collection is assuredly the first Legends anthology written in Korean and edited by a Korean, characterized by being compiled provincially and being actively quoted by Ko Jeong-ok, the first-generation scholar of oral literature. This book contains 167 stories in total, arranging them under the provincial titles: 10 stories for Gyeonggido, 7 for Chungcheongdo, 6 for Jeollado, 10 for Gyeongsangdo, 8 for Hwanghaedo, 9 for Pyeongando, 5 for Gangwondo, and 11 for Hamgyeongdo. To classify the types of folklore covered, there are 19 stories about geographical names, 8 about rocks, 4 about old monks, 4 about spirits with enmity, 3 about clan`s ancestors, 3 about graves, 3 about building a buddhistic temple, 3 about dragons, 3 about apprenticeship, 2 about bodies of water, 2 about fidelity, 2 about buddhistic statue, 2 about wrestling, 2 about gratitude, 1 about fountain, 1 about a hole for rice, 1 about pavilion, 1 about Imjin War, 1 about feng shui, 1 about a faithful dog, 1 about a filial pious son, and the rest. Legends about geography rank first, followed by those about rocks, which account for 28 percent and 12 percent respectively. This is interesting in that the classification is similar to that of Choi Sang-su. When compared with other collections such as the folklore anthology published in North Korea and that of Choi Sang-su, this book introduces more stories. Even the overlapped stories differ in textual terms. First of all, they differ in size as Lee`s stories are much longer. Secondly, Lee`s stories use more paragraphs. All these suggest that Lee and Choi very likely used different sources when they compiled their materials. The North Korean version turned out to copy virtually everything of Lee`s except that such surrealistic, much too fantastic, or superstitious elements as might contradict the North Korean ideology have been eliminated. This is a pioneering study of Lee Hong-gi`s Joseonjeonseoljip. Provided what the researcher claims in this study is valid, certain statements about ``the first folklore anthology`` ought to be corrected. Additionally, those issues should also be addressed properly such as who on earth Lee Hong-gi the compiler was and what value the stories themselves might retain.

남창가곡 〈우조 초수대엽〉 연구

이오규(Lee Oh-Kyu) 한국전통음악학회 2009 한국전통음악학 Vol.- No.10

하규일 선생으로부터 전창된 가곡은 여러 가창자에 의해 전승되면서 여러 형태의 가보(歌譜)를 정리 하였는데, 그 가보가 가창자에 따라 조금씩 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있다. 본고에서는 〈우조 초수대엽〉 ‘동창이’를 중심으로 선율과 장식음, 발음법, 가사, 시김새, 말붙임, 숨자리 등을 살펴보았는데, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 선율에서는 여러 가보가 거의 대동소이 하지만 이병성ㆍ장사훈 가보는 32정간위에 율명으로 대강의 음들을 기재하였고 연음표를 부분적으로 사용하고 있다. 이주환ㆍ김기수ㆍ이석재 가곡보는 관악기의 장식 부호를 사용하였고, 홍원기ㆍ장시훈 가곡보는 현악기의 형상화된 장식음 부호를 사용하였다. 2. 발음법에서는 초성(자음)은 모두 동일하며, 중성(모음)과 종성(자음)에서는 가보에 따라 조금씩 다르게 나타난다. 3. 시김새는 가보마다 조금씩 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있다. 즉 이병성보는 초기의 율자보, 검기수보는 악보가 세밀하며, 이석재보는 간결하다. 이주환보는 가사 불임이 세밀하고, 홍원기보는 연음표에 가깝게 소리를 형상화한 악보로 표기한다. 4. 가사의 말붙임에 따라 곡태에 차이가 있음을 알 수 있다. 5. 숨자리가 대동소이 하지만 김기수보에서는 〈핫느〉, 〈히노〉, 〈험어〉 다음에 숨표가 붙어 있어서 노래[歌]를 용이하게 하여 준다. The songs which is learned and sang from teacher Ha Kyu-il is passed down by many singers and is classified a lot of various types. However, the music is represented differently according to singers. In this paper, melody, Jangsikum, pronunciation method, lyrics Sigimsae, Malbooim and Sumsari is observed with priority given to 〈WooJo ChooSooDaeYeop> 'DongChangYi', and the results are followngs that. 1. In melody, all of the musics are same. however, the music of Lee Byung-Sung and Jang Sa-Hoon are write down a rough sound by the Yulmyoung, above 32Junggan and are used Yeonumpyo partially. The music of Lee Joo-Hwan, Kim Ki-Soo and Lee Seok-Jae are used a decoration symbol of wind instruments. Finally, the music of Hong Won-Ki and Jang Sa-Hoon are used a decoration symbol which is described string instruments. 2. In pronunciation method, the initial sound is identified while the medial sound and the final sound are different according to the music. 3. Sigimsae is represented differently according to the music. In the music of Lee Byung-Sung, an initial of Yuljabo is expressed detailed, while the music is written down the full particular in the music of Kim Ki-soo. The music of Lee Seok-Jae is concise. The music of Lee Joo-Hwan is written lyrics to songs in detail and the music of Hong Won-Ki is written a score which is given shape to a sound dosing the Yeonumpyo. 4. It demonstrate that Goktae different according to the Malbooim of lyrics. 5. Sumsari is same in all of the music, but the music of kim Ki-Soo is easy to song because breathing mark is attached after the words of 〈hot-n〉, 〈hino〉 and 〈heoma〉.

『이춘기일기』(1961~1990)에 나타난 근대적 일상생활

이복규(Lee, Bok-kyu) 안동대학교 민속학연구소 2019 民俗硏究 Vol.0 No.38

이 연구는 『이춘기일기』(1961~1990)에 나타난 일상생활의 근대적 양상을 살펴본 것이다. 주로 1960년대 초반을 중심으로 일생의례, 교통·통신으로 나누어 고찰한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째. 일생의례의 경우, 혼인례, 상장례 등 일생의례의 양상을 살펴보았다. 혼인례에서, 신부의 집이 아닌 제3의 장소인 교회나 예식장에서 예식을 치르고 있으며, 목사를 주례로 모시고 있는 점은 근대적인 변화다. 하지만 피로연은 신부나 신랑의 집에서 가지고 있어 전통이 지속되고 있다. 상장례에서, 전반적인 절차는 유교식 전통이 유지되고 있지만, 구체적인 내용에서는 기독교적인 변용이 일어나 근대화 양상을 보이고 있다. 교회가 상장례를 주관하는 주체로 참여하고 있는 점, 여성도 명정에서 그 직함과 이름을 밝히고 있는 점, 흉례든 길례든 기본정신만 유지하되 형편에 따라 융통성 있게 대응하는 점 등이 그렇다. 특히 여성의 명정에서 보이는 평등주의는 기존의 가부장적이거나 남녀차별적인 문화를 탈피한 것으로서 주목할 만하다. 둘째, 교통·통신의 경우, 전보, 완행열차, 공동 전화로 나누어 살펴보았다. 고속열차, 휴대폰이 등장한 지금에 비하면 느린 수단들이지만, 도보나 말을 타고 다니거나 인편으로 소식을 전하던 전근대와 비교하면, 발전한 양상이다. 이상의 내용을 총괄해 보면, 『이춘기일기』에 나타난 1960년대 초반, 익산 농촌 지역의 일상생활은 전통의 지속과 변화가 혼재하면서도, 근대적 변모 쪽으로 확실하게 달라져 가고 있었다고 보인다. 일생의례의 경우, 이춘기의 가정은 특히 기독교의 영향 아래 이런 변화가 더욱 촉진되었던 것으로 여겨진다. This study is to review the modern features of daily life appeared in ‘Lee Chunki’s diary’. The reviewed results are on the lifetime rites, transportation, communication, and so on mainly in early 1960s as follows. First in case of lifetime rites, the aspects of marriage, funeral rites, and so on were reviewed. With respect to marriage, the ceremonies were held not in the bride’s houses but in the third places such as churches or wedding halls and inviting ministers as the officiants were the modern changes. However, wedding receptions were held in bride or bridegroom’s house demonstrating the continuation of the tradition. In the funerals, the Confucian tradition was maintained in overall processes, yet, the Christian changes in the detailed contents were occurred demonstrating the modern aspects. They showed that the church participated in funerals as the main body, women revealed their names and titles in the funeral banner, and flexibility was allowed according to the situation though the fundamental mind was maintained regardless of the rites whether they were good of bad. Especially, equalitarianism shown in the women’s funeral banner is worthwhile to pay attention as breaking the discriminating culture between men and women. Second in case of transportation and communication, telegram, local train, and common phone were reviewed. Compared to the present bullet train or cellphone, the are slow tools, however, they were the advanced features compared to the pre-modern period when the news had been distributed by walking, horse-riding, or the person. To sum up the above, it appears that early 1960s on Lee Chunki’s diary, the daily life of Iksan rural areas were clearly changing toward a modern change, while continuing and changing traditions. Lee’s family is believed to have promoted this change, especially under the influence of Christianity.

Who Becomes Exposed to Celebrity Activism on Twitter?

Seulgi Jang,Yujin Kim,Byung Joon Lee,Kyu S. Hahn 한국언론학회 2015 Asian Communication Research Vol.12 No.1

Twitter has significantly amplified celebrity presence on civic affairs. Although celebrities hold little expertise on policy affairs, they can be quite influential since their popularity allows them to reach large audiences. There is an ongoing debate concerning the democratic implications of increasing celebrity influence in policy affairs. In the current study, taking Oisoo Lee as a test case, we investigate the political implications of celebrity following on Twitter. We first compare Lee’s followers with those of ten news outlets, based on the co-following pattern among 1,442,317 Twitter users. We also had access to supplementary survey data on 11,725 members of an online survey panel who had provided their Twitter screen names. For these survey participants, we are able to match their following behavior with individual level attributes. Our results reveal that Lee’s followers are not ideologically skewed in either direction. Indeed, our survey findings confirmed that a vast majority of Lee’s followers identified themselves as independent. On the other hand, survey results show that Oisoo Lee is more likely to attract those lacking the ability to process one-sided information in a balanced manner. This raises a concern that they could be easily misinformed or misled.

Objective : Serum uric acid has now been identified as a marker for a number of metabolic and hemodynamic abnormalities. The aim of this study is to evaluate risk factors which influence hyperuricemia in the citizens of Asan. Method : The study design was cross-sectional and research subjects were 1086 citizens of Asan. General characteristics, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and past history were obtained by interview using a structural questionnaire. Also, we measured height, weight and blood pressure, and serum uric acid of the subjects. Results : The mean serum uric acid level was 5.27 ㎎/㎗ in men and 4.01 ㎎/㎗, in women, In the multiple logistic regression analysis, statically significant risk factors of hyperuhcemia were gender, body mass index, blood lead concentration, and serum creatinine. Conclusion : Our results suggest that gender, body mass index, blood lead concentration, and serum creatinine might be the most important risk factors of hyperurcemia. Education program as well as routine check-up for serum uric acid was highly recommended for the effective prevention of hyperuricemia.

Objective : As the average lifespan of human increases, osteoporosis and osteoporosis-related fractures have become major health care problems. Despite recent advances in medical treatment, few studies have assessed the recognition of osteoporosis in general adults. This study examined the recognition of osteoporosis and analyzed the relating factors. Method : A population-based sample of 1086 adults in Asan-city, Korea was investigated with questionnaires and height, weight, Information regarding the general characteristics(gender, age, economic state), lifestylef exercise, smoking, alcohol),medical history(progestin, GH, steroid, calcitonin, PTH), demographic parameter, obesity, stress, and family history was collected through an interview using a structural questionnaire. The level of obesity was measured by the body mass index(BMI). BMD(Bone mineral density) at the lumbar spine and femoral neck was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Osteoporosis was considered to be T-score below -2.5. Results : The prevalence of osteoporosis increased progressively with age, decreased with BMI and predominant in women by the result of x^(2) -test, T-test. Age, weight, BMI were significantly correlated with osteoporosis by the result of Pearson correlation ana1ysis(P<0.05). And age, gender, BMI, family history of osteoporosis were proved to be significant risk factors of osteoporosis by the result of multiple logistic regression(P<0.05). Conclusion : These results suggest that age, gender, BMI might be the most important risk factors of osteoporosis. And the history taking about family history of osteoporosis is helpful for diagnosing osteoporosis.

이종섭,황병연,정희진,김우주,박승철,이도현,이창규,신종희,황규잠,이영희 대한화학요법학회 2000 대한화학요법학회지 Vol.18 No.2

목적 : H. influenzae는 성인에서 흔히 호흡기 감염을 일으키는 균주로, 최근 ampicillin 내성 β-lactamase 생성 균주들이 지속적인 증가를 보이고 있어, 이에 국내 성인에서 H. influenzae에 의한 감염의 임상양상과 분리된 균주들의 미생물학적 특성을 조사하고자 하였다. 방법 : 1998년 3월부터 1999년 9월까지 고려대 구로병원에 내원한 환자중에서 H. influenzae가 분리된 68명을 대상으로 임상양상을 조사하고 항균제 감수성 검사를 시행하였다. 분리된 33주에 대해서 혈청형, 생물형, 세포외막 단백분석을 시행하였고, β-lactamase 생성여부에 따른 감염 환자군간 임상상 및 예후의 차이를 비교하였다. 결과 : 환자의 평균연령은 68세였고, 지역사회 획득감염이 전체의 85%를 차지하였다. 폐렴과 기관지염과 같은 하기도 감염이 전체환자의 75%를 차지하였고 분리 검체 역시 객담이 84%로 가장 많았다. 환자의 71%가 기저질환을 가지고 있었으며, 그 중에 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환, 심혈관 질환, 악성종양, 당뇨병이 대부분이었다. 혈청형으로는 nontypeable 형이 68%로 가장 많았고 b형은 한 예도 없었다. β-lactamase 생성율은 63.2%였고, β-lactamase 양성균주의 항균제 내성율이 음성균주에 비하여 높았으나 β-lactamase 생성 여부에 관계없이 cefotaxime, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin에 대하여 100%의 감수성을 나타내었고 cefaclor, cefuroxime에 대해서는 10% 이하의 낮은 내성율을 보여 이들 항균제들이 치료에 효과적일 것으로 사료된다. 세포외막 단백분석에서는 C형과 D형이 전체의 64%로 가장 많았으며, 혈청형과의 유의한 연관성은 보이지 않았다. 결론 : 성인에서 H. influenzae는 주로 만성 기저질환자에서 급성 호흡기감염 또는 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환의 급성 악화를 유발한다. 기존의 보고에 비해 β-lactamase 양성율이 증가하였고, 이에 따른 항균제 내성율도 증가하여 항균제의 선택에 유의하여야 할 것으로 생각된다. 세포외막 단백분석상 특정한 유형의 균주에 의해 감염이 집중적으로 발생하고 있어 향후 역학 조사의 도구로 이용할 수 있겠다. Purpose : H. influenzae is one of the common causative microorganisms of respiratory tract infections in adults. Recently. β-lactamase producing, ampicillin-resistant H. infiuenzae has become worldwide problem as well as in Korea. We studied to investigate the clinical features and microbiologic characteristics of H. infiuenzae infections in adults. Materials & Methods : From March 1998 to September 1999, 68 patients were enrolled in this study. Clinical features of H. infiuenzae infections were investigated, 68 isolates were subjected to the β-lactamase test, and 33 isolates were used for serotyping. biotyping, antibiotic susceptibility and outer membrane protein (OMP) analysis. Results : Mean age of study patients was 68 years-old and the acquisition rate in community was 85%. Pneumonia and bronchitis were the most common type of infection such as 80%, sputum was the most common clinical specimen for H. mQuenzae isolation. 70% of patients had chronic underlying diseases. Non-typeable strains were 68% and β-lactamase producing rate was 63%. There was no difference in the clinical features and prognosis of H. influenzae infection between the β-lactamase positivie and -negative groups. The susceptibility of cefotaxime, azithromycin, and ciprofloxacin was 100% and that of cefaclor, cefuroxime was under 10% in spite of β-lactamase positivity. In OMP analysis, C and D types were dominant (64%). Conclusion : H. influenzae caused acute respiratory infections in adults with chronic underlying disorders. This study shows higher β-lactamase producing rate and antibiotic-resistance rate than that were reported previously. OMP analysis shows that two major types of strains cause clinical infections intensively.

업종에 따른 연 취급 사업장의 기중 연 농도 및 연 노출 수준 평가

이병국,김용배,리갑수,안현철,김화성,이용진,황규윤,장봉기,이성수,안규동 순천향대학교 산업의학연구소 1999 순천향산업의학 Vol.5 No.1

In order to obtain an useful information for health management and biological monitoring of lead exposed workers, Authors tried to investigate air lead level and the lead exposed level of workers in lead industry according to occupational category. The subjects in our study were 2074 workers in 7 lead-using industries, and study subjects were divided into 4 occupational categories such as storage battery industry (type 1), primary smelting industry (type 2), secondary smelting industry (type 3) and litharge making industry (type 4). Blood zincprotoporphyrin concentration (ZPP), blood lead concentration (PbB) and urinary δ -aminolevulinic acid (ALAU), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct) were selected as the indices of lead exposure. Personal variables such as age, work duration were also collected. The results were as follows. 1. The geometric mean air lead in 9 lead-using industry was 0.1133±4.3120 ㎎/㎥, and that in type 1, 2, 3 and 4 was 0.1038±3.4952 ㎎/㎥, 0.0429±3.4329 ㎎/㎥, 0.1877±2.5123 ㎎/㎥ and 0.9961±5.2910 ㎎/㎥, respectively. 2. The mean ZPP in 9 lead-using industry was 53.1±28.0 ㎍/㎗, and that in type 1, 2, 3 and 4 was 52.0±24.8 ㎍/㎗, 48.0±16.4 ㎍/㎗, 109.8±85.6 ㎍/㎗ and 74.3±37.8 ㎍/㎗, respectively. There was significant difference in ZPP according to occupational category (P<0.01). The percents of lead workers whose ZPP were above 100 ㎍/㎗ in type 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 4.0%, 1.7%, 34.3% and 21.6%, respectively. 3. The mean PbB in lead-using industry was 26.0±11.2 ㎍/㎗, and that in type 1, 2, 3 and 4 was 25.3±11.1 ㎍/㎗, 26.7±8.8 ㎍/㎗, 50.3±15.2 ㎍/㎗ and 36.4±11.0 ㎍/㎗, respectively. There was significant difference in PbB according to occupational category (P<0.01). The percents of lead workers whose PbB were above 40 ㎍/㎗ in type 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 10.4%, 7.7% 71.9% and 43.2%, respectively. 4. While the correlation of Hb corrected PbB with ZPP was higher than non corrected PbB, the correlation of log-transformed ZPP with PbB was higher than non corrected ZPP. 5. Simple linear regressions of PbB and corrected PbB as independent variable with ZPP, log-transformed ZPP and ALAU as dependent variable were statistically significant (P0.01). Coefficient of determination of corrected PbB with other variables was higher than non corrected PbB. As the result of this study, it was suggested that reconsideration of environmental and biological monitoring program was highly recommended for secondary smelting and litharge making industry.

연작업자들의 신기능 평가에서 요중 δ-aminolevulinic acid 측정의 의의

이병국,이숙,김용배,리갑수,김화성,황규윤,장봉기,이성수,안규동 순천향대학교 산업의학연구소 1999 순천향산업의학 Vol.5 No.1

To clarify the effect of occupational lead exposure on renal function 241 lead workers working and 56 non lead workers were studied in 5 lead acid battery industries. Study variables for renal effect were urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase(NAG), urinary total protein(U-TP), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), serum creatinine(S-Cr), and serum uric acid(S-Ua). On the other hand, blood lead(PbB), zinc protoporphyrin in whole blood(ZPP), and delta-aminolevulinic acid in urine(δ-ALA) were selected for the variables of lead exposure. Information on age, work duration, smoking and drinking history were also obtained. The results obtained were as follows. While the mean values of lead exposure indicators of lead workers were significantly different from non-exposed ones, the mean values of BUN, U-TP and S-Cr of renal function indicators of exposed were also different from non-exposed. BUN, U-TP and NAG showed statistically significant correlation with PbB and ZPP, and NAG revealed also statistically strongly significant correlation with δ-ALA. On multiple regression using renal fuction indicators as a dependent variable and δ-ALA, age, work duration,lead exposure,smoking and drinking as independent variables, only δ-ALA contributed to NAG.

詩ㆍ文에 나타난 李萬敷의 歷史認識

이정규(Jeong-kyu Lee) 어문연구학회 2007 어문연구 Vol.54 No.-

  This thesis is aimed at examining the ancient history of our country, which Siksan Man-boo Lee had cognizance of. Prior to examining Siksan"s recognition of history, the researcher first paid attention to the consciousness of "making things valuable" which is thought to have affected the foundation for recognition of history. On the assumption that the real meaning of "making things valuable" may differ case by case, the researcher tried to make it clear that, overriding the assertion that Chosen succeeded China, Siksan"s consciousness of "making things valuable" expressed the culture of Chosen"s superiority, rather than none inferiority, to that of China. And, the researcher clarified that this point laid the foundation for Siksan"s having recognition of independent history. The peculiarity of the culture of home country is emphasized and the superiority of our culture is asserted everywhere in the writings scattered in a collection of Siksan"s works, And this confirmed that Chinese ethnic group and barbarians of the circumference are not distinguished by the race or location of a country, but by the culture of a country.<BR>  Subsequently, the researcher examined the recognition of history of our country in ancient times descending from Tangun time, by noting Siksan"s independent national consciousness that Chosen is an independent country as he deviates from the traditional viewpoint of Chinese ethnic group and barbarians of the circumference. He emphasized the existence of Tangun Chosen, extended the upper limit of our history by valuing highly the fact that Chosen was enlightened by Gija"s moving east, and noticed that thereby the pride of national culture was distinguished. But, he removed Wiman Chosen from our history, and did not considered our history discontinued by the outside power by determining the location of Hansagun to be above the Han River. Moreover, he showed dual recognition of history by establishing both the historical current of Tangun-Buyeo-Kokuryeo-Baekje and the other historical current of Tangun-Kija-Mahan.<BR>  Siksan attempted historical investigation of geography several times based upon what he saw and heard from his own travels, and went on to form his own historical viewpoint based upon the knowledge of ancient history he acquired from a variety of history books.
