The video never claimed that Korea conquered China. Obviously the Chinese troll was attempting to troll bait you guys into this topic. You tool bags took his troll bait and fell right into his trap. The video makes the claim that the founders and descendants of the Jurchen Jin dynasty was Korean or had Korean ancestry. And they make a very very convincing argument. I did some more research and its even supported by western and *gasp* Chinese scholars. For instance-
of course korea never conquered china.

what a silly idea.

Wanyan Hanpu the leader and founder of the Wanyan clan(which became the Jin dynasty) was from Korea and of Korean stock. According to Chinese records (the History of the Jin)(Jinshi 金史) , Wanyan Hanpu came from the kingdom of Goryeo(Korea) and lived their for 60 years. He left Koryeo with his followers(Koreans) and founded the Wanyan clan which would later become Jin. Just to give you an idea of what kind of the Jin were. The Jin dynasty massacred Chinese people, defeated Song, captured the Chinese emperor and his son and humiliated the China. Doesnt really sound like the kind of guy China should be proud of.
who said China was proud of Jin?

nothing you said contradicts what i posted. what i posted is a far stronger link as i listed things actions they did (for ex. the moving of the capital to beijing, an act that was meant to try and legitimize the Jin emperors rule over "all under heaven"). besides not mentioning all the chinese elements they added into their ruling system.
humiliated what? Jin was destroyed by an allied Mongol-Southern Song. as i mentioned before, i acknowledge Southern Song as "China".

Another Chinese source written during the Qing dynasty states that Shilla and Jin royalty were related in blood. While completely alien to any Chinese dynasty. This was from a Qing dynasty source. Nurhaci the mighty leader of Manchuria even spared Korea during the Ming-Chosun-Manchu war despite Chosun siding with the Ming. Nurhaci remarked that they were "brothers" or something akin to it. I dont remember the exact quote, but Nurhaci and the Manchus(Nurhaci later died) treated Koreans fairly after the war.
The Chinese however were not given the same respect shown towards Korea. The Chinese were brutally massacred during and after the war. They were conquered, enslaved, humiliated and became a part of Manchuria. Korea on the other hand was given independence(too bad China) so long as they payed tribute(which was actually a 2 way deal). Chinese men were then forced to shave their heads bald and wear a pony tail. A sign of absolute submission and humilation. Koreans on the other hand were allowed to wear their hair however they wanted.
新羅王金姓則金之逺派. From Research on the Origin of the Manchus (Manzhou yuanliu kao 滿洲源流考) also states that Hanpu had 2 other brothers. One stayed in Goryeo with the rest of Hanpus family. The other stayed in Balhae(another Korean kingdom).
As you can see, its nots "ridiculous" to say that the Jurchen Jin dynasty had Korean elements in them. Its founder was Korean for christs sake. And this is supported by Chinese sources. LOL
The fact that the Jin called themselves Kim(Korean pronounciation of Jin) is also another convincing argument which you seem to ignore. As I mentioned earlier, Qing records indicate that Shillas royalty and Jins royalty were related in blood. This is important because during Korea's Shilla dynasty, the Kim clan of Kyungju were the absolute masters of the peninsula. They were the top clan and held much of the power. It is very very very likely that Hanpu was of the Kyungju Kim clan. Not only did he come from Korea, but he was related to Shillas royal family and his clan would become known as Jin or in Korean- KIM(gold) dynasty. Why else did they name the dynasty Jin?
i want everyone to see how desperate and weak these korean claims are.

thx for giving everyone this opportunity.
respect? the Manchus invaded Korea TWICE.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Manchu_invasion_of_Koreahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Manchu_invasion_of_Koreathe second being QING. Huang Taiji the first Qing Emperor led Manchu, Mongol, and Chinese Banners and Mongol army of 120,000 to Korea. theres were the terms of SURRENDER
King Injo yielded up three pro-war officers to Qing, as well as agreeing to the terms of peace:
1. Korea submit to the Qing Dynasty.
2. Korea breaks away with the suzerain Ming.
3. Korea offers the first and second sons of King Injo, and sons or brothers of ministers as hostages.
4. Korea pays tribute to Qing as she has done to Ming.
5. Korea will serve in the war against Ming.
6. Korea offers army and ships to attack an island.
7. Qing does not allow Korea to build castles without restraint.
allegedly (i do acknowlege this) King Injo was forced to kowtow to Huang Taiji many times. to use your terms, to HUMILIATE him.
FYI, The Jurchen named their Dynasty the Jin ("Golden") after the Anchuhu River (anchuhu is the Jurchen equivalent of Manchu aisin "gold, golden") in their homeland. how funny you think it has anything to do with "Kim".QUOTE (EvilAsianDude @ Nov 6 2009, 08:55 PM)

Need even more danming evidence. In 1115 Wanyan Aguda(first emperor of Jin) and descendent of Hanpu declared that Jin and Goryeo were brothers. This is supported in the historical text(history of Koryeo). Both Aguda and his older brother were recorded as calling Koryeo(Korea)- The mother country. Of course you didnt bother to see the video so you fail to grasp this historical fact. Jins first emperor regarded Koreans as family and Korea as the homeland. What did he think of the Chinese? He hated them. He considered them inferior sub humans. He waged war on then, murdered them, sacked their capitol- Kaifeng and caputred the Emperor himself. He turned China into his b!tch. Way to go.
The Chinese historian in the video also stated that Koryeo and Jin shared the same common language. The people of Balhae were also regarded as brothers to both Jin and Goryeo.
first of all, as another repeat, Jin was defeated by an allied Mongol-Southern Song.
second of all, they could not defeat Song even before Mongol alliance
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Caishihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tangdaothird, Jin Dynasty was very sinicized. here is them hating Chinese.
Prince Hailing - in 1153, moved the Jin capital to the site of the old Liao southern capital, which is now Beijing, and four years later he had the old capital razed, including the nobles' residences. why? he was a prince, nobody accepted him as emperor so he wanted to legitimize his rule. it is ALSO why he attacked the Southern Song. because apparently thinks the way I do, Southern Song was "China".
Emperor Shizong - Thanks to his mother and her relatives, Wulu received a good Chinese education, and had as good knowledge of Chinese classics as any Chinese emperor.[1]
"Modern scholars of the Jin Empire feel that Shiong's efforts to maintain and revive Jurchen language and culture were not particularly efficacious. The language lacked native literature, and his translations of Chinese works into Jurchen were helping to bring Chinese ideas and values into Jurchens' minds. In fact, the emperor himself once said that the Jurchen language was "inferior to Chinese", and could not even match Khitan. Outisde of the old Jurchen lands in far Manchuria, people did not see the utility of speaking the "dying" and "inferior" language, and Shizong himself was wondering if the posterity would criticize him for his attempts to force people use it"
(Jing-shen Tao, "The Jurchen in Twelfth-Century China". University of Washington Press, 1976, ISBN 0-295-95514-7. Chapter 6. "The Jurchen Movement for Revival", Pages 69-83.)
Emperor Zhangzong - he permitted Jurchen to follow Chinese funeral practices, and Tang and Song rituals are known to have been performed at his court in 1194. Resuming one of the projects of King Hailing, he established Confucian temples in all prefectures and counties of his empire.[1]
(The Jurchen in Twelfth-Century China. University of Washington Press, 1976)
course Jin dynasty emperors would favor Jurchen customs and traditions. but to attempt and trick people that they hated Chinese is funny. (repeat again, i still consider Southern Song "China", so ironically everything Jin did made them more Chinese is still pointless)
at the end of the day, as you can see. Korean claims are infinitely weaker than Chinese ones, focused entirely on an old silla link and cherry picked records. meanwhile, im giving you what the emperors THEMSELVES actually DID. btw i dont even claim Jin.
