In addition to the Siberian Nanai and Korea's procedures of ceremonies of mourning, their worldviews are similar, including the spirit view, life and death view, the afterlife view, and the fear of the dead. And the procedures of ceremonies of mourning of the Nanai and Korea and the worldview reflected in it are based on shamanic ideas such as the dead worship due to fear of the dead and ancestor worship. This fact tells us about the intimacy between the Nanai and Korean traditional culture. It will also help to clarify the identity of Korean culture.

These days, mukbang (internet-based eating show) is popular, using the medium of the internet to broadcast content to the world. Mukbang is one of the emerging internet cultures for young people. On YouTube, mukbang is one of the most popular viewed content, alongside kids’ content and video games. The popularity of mukbang is especially high among youths in their 20’s in Korea and China. However, some people share concerns about mukbang, because watching mukbang content that repeats binge eating can negatively affect users' eating habits and health. Meanwhile, there are not much critical research on the negative effects of mukbang on these youths. And even these few criticisms have the error of underestimating the critical thinking ability and autonomy of users. So, our study aims to underscore how users perceive mukbang as having negative effects in their daily lives. In other words, this study will investigate the relationship between ‘mokbang viewing motivation’ and ‘use behavior’ and how they negatively affect 'users’ schoolwork', 'offline interpersonal relationship' and 'self-management'. Furthermore, the researchers included "others’ approval" and "competition", among self-worth concepts as major psychological independence variables, considered as characteristics of 20’s youth in Korea and China. "Others’ approval" reflects the traditional collectivism of Eastern cultures. And "competition" reflects the characteristics of 20’s youths in the region whose daily lives are lived amidst fierce education competition between Korea and China. In conclusion, this study observed the following differences between 20s youths in Korea and China. First, in “viewing motivation" and "use behaviour" there is a recognizable negative impact on "users’ schoolwork" "offline interpersonal relationship" and "self-management" for both Korean and Chinese 20s youths, with statistically significant explanatory power. However, for South Koreans 20s, the control factors and self-worth factors did not have significant explanatory power over all of their dependencies. But, for those in their 20s in China, control factors and self-worth factors showed significant explanation for all dependencies. The significance of these results and the limitations of the study are discussed together in the conclusion.

『Complete History of Korean Literature』 was written by Li Yan and others, and published in the year of 2010. It is known as the latest and most extensive one of the 15 korean literature history books published in China. Based on the results of the study of korean literature in China, it is attempting new analysis and evaluation of the literary phenomena. The study of korean literature in China has been growing quantitatively and qualitatively. The purpose of this presentation is to provide an opportunity to grasp the results and trends of korean studies in China about ancient literature. This book focused on the relationship between literature and the ideological culture of the times, and described various literary styles and the flow of art expressions in order to reveal the characteristics of 'Complete History'. In the actual description, the longitudinal context was described by placing chapters separately at the beginning of each period. And it analyzes the representative writers and works by introducing an overview of main genres such as prose, poetry, and oral literature. The periods are divided into five parts: Old ages, Unification Silla Dynasty, Goryeo Dynasty, Early Joseon Dynasty, and Late Joseon Dynasty. But the whole structure of this seems somewhat confused because the criterion of periodization is obscure. The authors of this book are situated at the borderland between Korea and China, and between North and South Korea. Although they have tried to take an objective view, the form and substance does not seem to be match well. I hope this study may provide meaningful clues for the description of unified korean literary history by examining the level and trend of korean studies in China.

Today, the fourth industrial revolution began with advances in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data and the Internet of Things. Education is needed to foster new talent in the new era. Emphasizing the importance of software education in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, countries around the world included software education in their school curriculum. This study investigates Chinese information technology education courses and information service education courses in the revised curriculum in 2015. Through this study, we can help in the development direction of information education in our country.

In this study the labor world of Korean diaspora in the modern times was examined by analyzing the dock workers in the port of Moji, Kyushu. Moji Port was one of the destinations for Koreans who came to Japan to find work. The Kitakyushu area, which includes the port of Moji, was a major producer of coal, which was indispensable for the development of modern Japanese industry. And the port of Moji was a hub for the transport of coal produced, and as a result it needed a lot of dock workers. The Korean, who had no advanced skills and knowledge, was highly engaged in dock labor, especially in charge of coal shipping and unloading. Their wages were lower than those of Japanese workers or Korean workers in other industries, and labor conditions were poor. The task ahead is to develop an overview of the study and seek the more general implications on the Korean diaspora studies and migration studies.

1. Introduction Nagasaki Prefecture is located in the northwestern part of Kyushu, and the islands of the Goto Islands, Hiradojima, Iki, Tsushima, etc. are scattered in the Tsushima warm current. 132 km across the Genkai Pass and Tsushima Strait East Channel from the mainland of Kyushu. The Korean peninsula is about 49.5 km away across the Tsushima Strait West Channel. On the other hand, from the east coast to the south coast of the Korean Peninsula, the Reman Current (cold stream) from the north is going south. The whale hunting related to this title is considered to belong to the northern culture related to the cold current. At the foot of the TsugumenoHana ruins in Hirado City, Nagasaki Prefecture, sarcophagus is excavated from the early Jomon period to the beginning of the first half of the Jomon period. From this layer, whale bones were also excavated, so it was thought that it was a ruin that caught whales. In this ruin, sarcophagus, which seems to belong to the early and middle Jomon period, is excavated from the upper layer. Along with sea beasts such as whales and dolphins, a similar scene is drawn, such as a ship similar to a ship carved in the fence of the original ruins of the ruins, or a whale connected to a string-like thing is drawn Is recognized. The wolves are depicted in the stone chamber of the next Kofun period, and whaling is described in the literature. In the early modern times, whaling became very popular as the scale of whales increased. Whale oil is an omega-3 fatty acid that can be expected to suppress neutral fat synthesis and increase metabolism.

Monkan was a very famous high priest from the late Kamakura period to the Northern and Southern dynasties. He was a priest who prayed to guard the Emperor Godaigo. He advanced to the top of Shingon sect. He had six disciples at Jodoji-temple in Onomihi. The temple was a branch temple of Saidaiji-Temple and ruled the Onomichi Port that was one of the most important port in the Setonaikai Sea. Monkan had a strong influence on the sect in the Setonaikai Sae World and shipping in Setonaikai Sae. He was born in Ono in Harima Province and served as the chief priest of the Hosuosan-Jorakuji-temple in One.　Kansyo-bo Keison was the mentor of him when he became priest at Kpkkesan-temple in Harima. Kansho-bo Keison was the leader of the Saidaiji-party in Harima and was theb first chief priest of the Hosuosan-Jorakuji-temple。Monkan was the second chief priest of the temple. Monkan was the successor of Kansho-bo Keison. Based on the power base of Kansho-bo Keison, Monkan expanded his influence on the Setonaikai Sea World.

Ancient Japan had a unique policy in goods transports which specialize in land routes, rather than maritime routes. This policy is based on egalitarianism in rules by ”Ritsuryo” Code(律令制). However ancient Japanese people used maritime transport to carry heavy goods such as rice. Special prescription in “Engi-shiki”(延喜式) describes actual situations of maritime transportation in Hokuriku region(北陸地方). In this region, the freight charge was decided by economic relations between professional carriers and customers.

From the beginning of Meiji era (1868～), many groups came across the sea to Hokkaido to develop the area. Within these groups, Sekishinsha (赤心社=Brave Heart Inc.), a Christian-based group, came to Hokkaido since 1881 and my great-grandfather was a member of that group. Sekishinsha was originally from an area near Kobe called Sanda of the Settsu-Sanda Han(摂津三 田藩：feudal domain). The immigration of Sekishinsha from Sanda to Hokkaido was compared to the crossing of the Puritans from England to the New World. The reality of this crossing is much more complex. Looking at this singular personal example of my great-grandfather and his family and the historical circumstances surrounding his feudal domain will provide a window into how Japanese adopted the newly-introduced Protestant Christianity.

The wind god and thunder god shown in Gamrodo located at Heungcheonsa Temple in Seoul takes up a very unique position in the history of Korean painting. The smallpox demons are seen in pairs. They have two horns on their heads and put up a frightening face like goblins. They also show as males who are nearly naked for the upper body and reveal muscular skin through the fabric-made clothes. The wind god spews wind with its wind bag carried around the waist. Meanwhile, the thunder god presents an attacker’s stance holding the smaller dumbbells in both hands and with its mouth agape. The two demons as such are never found anywhere else than at Heungcheonsa. In short, this is an anomaly in Korea. However, such a characteristic is quite common with the Japanese Buddhist painting. In this sense, it is believed that the wind god and thunder god shown in Gamrodo of Heungncheonsa reflect the Japanese influence. The wind god and thunder god at Heungcheonsa are nearly the same as the wind god and thunder god that frequently appear in the works by Hashimoto Gaho, the Japanese painter. The wind gods and thunder gods strike resemblance to one another of the pairs, in that the wind god fumes air from a wind bang carried around the waist and the thunder god with two sharp horns on their heads take an aggressive posture by upholding their arms while opening their mouths and putting up a scary face. This leads to the inference that the Buddhist painters of Joseon imitated the works by Hashimoto Gaho in including the wind god and thunder god in Gamrodo at Heungcheonsa.

Kim, Gi Su visited Japan's modernized visits and left a record of rejecting the necessity of modernization while showing a surprise about the modern culture that Japan shows off. This is because Joseon was forcibly opened by Japan and therefore was sent as a recipient and inspected Japanese modern civilization and failed to properly recognize his mission for modernization of Joseon. In addition, he did not correctly grasp the changes in the world situation due to the fact that Confucian ideology and the Chinese Dynasty's clothing system were more important than the modernization, Western education, and patriotic coercion in Japan. In many fields, especially for scientific and technical Western texts that have a direct bearing on wealthy illnesses and modernization, Kim, Gi Su expressed negative opinions and recorded more unprofessionally than Japan's 万延元年遣米使節. Due to the delegation of these results, Japan has laid the foundation for modernization and wealthy disease, but Joseon is regarded as a factor that does not succeed in modernization. We need to recognize that the difference in science and technology and economic power at the time of opening is manifested as the difference in the present reality. Therefore, we believe that now we need to analyze and improve our shortcomings and problems in order to move in the right direction.

The official position of the Japanese government on Dokdo, Korea's indigenous territory, is that Takeshima (Dokdo) is Japan's inherent territory even in international law and international law. It is an illegal occupation and there is no legal justification for any action taken on Dokdo. On the other hand, the Korean government counters that 'the beautiful island of Korea, Dokdo is historically, geographically and international law, and is a unique territory of Korea. Summarizing the arguments for Korea's and Japan's claim to Dokdo, there are three different views. It is a matter of correct interpretation of historical ancient documents. It is a matter of legality of territorial incorporation by Japanese government in 1905. This is a matter of validity against the Peace Treaty and a series of measures. Because Japan's logic on the Dokdo issue is very sophisticated and detailed, Dokdo is likely to be interpreted in the international community as Japan's territory unless it systematically contradicts Japan's logic of ownership of Dokdo. Therefore, it is necessary to review historical rights and relevant facts and international legal debates on Dokdo between Korea and Japan. We should consider how to solve the Dokdo issue in reality. What means exist for resolving the Dokdo dispute between Korea and Japan? The Korean side considers the Dokdo dispute a political one and will not appeal the Japanese's ICJ complaint. How can we solve this problem by identifying Japanese lies and Korean truths? It is clear that this is our national task.

Emerging new generation group having significantly new nature in the world of migrant workers was after 2010s, and in this article, it was intended to examine intensively the relation of new tension that they made with country with the critical investigation on the approach by generation in the perception and judgment on such new generation migrant workers as starting point. Particularly, this article intended to analyze the implications of these new generation migrant workers, who made the different type of changes than before connecting with the urbanization strategy of Chinese government in the aspect of 'mobility'. New urbanization policy of Chinese government is connected closely to the issue how to absorb these new generation migrant workers to the city. They have different nature than the precious first generation migrant workers. They do not have experience related to agriculture and is not a group having advanced industrial technology. While the previous generation tried to maximize the household income traveling between the city and the farm village, they want to secure appropriate employment and legal status of urban resident wandering mainly around the small and medium sized cities. Chinese government is implementing the policy of opening Hukou (family register) in the small and medium-sized cities by policy to urbanize them. Of course, it is good opportunity but if the urban rank is fixed in the expansion and competition among the cities in future, both their exit and withdrawal route are blocked. For them, not only the legal status and income but also the identity as producer and consumer, that is, the role of whole citizen is needed. Chinese government should not consider them as human resources but should made them as genuine urban citizen considering the characteristics of new generation migrant workers more meticulously.

Focused on Xue Fu Cheng’s diary and referring to the collection of his literary works, this article reviews the Overseas Chinese Policy and the Abolition of Maritime Trade Ban as a maritime policy. Xue Fu Cheng asserted that the overseas Chinese people should be protected through diplomatic routes in the name of the nation by establishing consulates in the countries where Chinese people lived. During his period in office, he completely abolished the Maritime Trade Ban in August 1893 after several times of discussions with the Qing Dynasty’s administration. The Qing Dynasty abolished the Maritime Trade Ban, declared in the early stage of the dynasty, as a result of the change in the political recognition of the changing international environment. From an economic point of view, the abundant assets that the overseas Chinese people had in Southeast Asia could be helpful to the economic development in China.
