#SongIn (#Korean: 송인; #Hanja: 宋仁; ? – 1126) was a civil official in the mid-#Goryeo era who became the intermediary founder of the #Jincheon #SongClan. His highest post was munha pyeongjangsa (문하 평장사). This was the highest government position in the period. Song In was responsible for administration, judicial affairs and economy in the district. As he performed meritorious deeds during the King, he was conferred with Chanhwagongsin and Jincheonbaek.

If you look at it deeper, the fall of the #Khitan Empire / #Liao Dynasty was when #Goryeo won the #GoryeoKhitanWar #고려거란전쟁 #遼麗戰爭. It showed to the world that a smaller country can force the tiger on its knees.

SALUTE To Yang Kyu and Kim Sook Heung, who fought seven battles in one month against the army of the #Khitan Empire (Liao Dynasty) in defence of #Goryeo.

He and his men did a major blow against the enemy despite not having receiving reinforcements after they were cut from Goryeo, and while the Goryeo King was in a tactical retreat Southwards.

Yang Kyu and his remaining men were also able to rescue around 30,000 civilian prisoners the Khitans took as slaves.

Source material of the series was the “Biography of Yang Kyu, Goryeo History Volume 94”.

Thus, ended the 2nd Goryeo-Khitan War.

---

If not for their heroic defence, the Korean peninsula, and even China itself, would more likely be very different today.

For example, the Jin Dynasty probably wouldn't exist if Goryeo fell. Astrong Khitan Empire / Liao Dynasty would have conquered the Song Dynasty.

The story goes that the #Koreans are actually just one of the many #Chinese tribes just like how #Mongolians are. One reason usually used is the Koreans call themselves #Han.

I admit, I was also led to believe this "connection" is true, however, it is false!

The #Hangugeo "Han" means a leader. There is no connection whatsoever, etymologically to the Chinese "Han", even though it is written the same way in Hanja and Chinese, respectively.

The Korean "Han" refers to the Three Leaders who rose up after GoGoryeo (ancient Goryeo) ended. These Three Leaders, or Three Hans, kept the "Korean" spirit and identity despite the foreign forces around them.

It does not mean that they were originally Han Chinese. Again, it's similar to my previous posts about words that exist in different languages but have different meanings. Korean "Han" is different from the Chinese "Han".

The ancient Koreans have always been an independent Nation living across what we know today as the Korean peninsula. They were never Chinese, and never one of the many Chinese tribes. The Korean peninsula is theirs and theirs alone. It's their homeland.

Another funny words that means differently in another #language.

The #Hangugeo (#Korean) word "namu" means "tree" or "wood".

In #Filipino, it is the short form of the curse word "p**ang ina mo" or "p**a ang ina mo" (which in English translates to "your mom is a c**t").

Of course, in Korean, you don't normally use words by itself. So there shouldn't be cases wherein there might be confusion. But if you got into a certain situation this happened, just explain what you meant. 😅 Otherwise, you'll hear a reply like, "namu rin" (something like, "your mom is a c**t too"). 😅😅
