Historians in Korea be like

Historians have quite a hard job. Cataloging history objectively can be hard. Especially when the King of Korea wants to chop your head off for it.

Both transfigurated into various animals, eventually turning into two worms who were swallowed by two cows and they were reborn as two bulls.

Education Minister Yu Ji said "There are many Ghosts in the castle. There are ghosts in Prime Minister Chung Chang-son's house. They carry belongings in the house, and they appear in broad daylight and talk and eat food." Then the king asked from side to side, and Hong Eung answered, "In the past, a rat came out of Yue Mun-chung's house and stood there bowing to him, and the housekeeper felt strange and told him, 'This is to starve and seek food. Spread the rice.' When the owl came into the house, it was not considered strange either, but there was no disaster in the house at last. If you don't feel strange even when you see ghosts, there will be no disaster on your own. Jeong Chang-son's house is mysterious, so his wife asked him to move to avoid it, but Jeong Chang-son said, 'I'm old, so even if I die, how can I avoid it because of ghosts?' and there was no disaster at last." And the king said, "What is strange enough for an owl to cry about in the world or always in the trees of the court? Ghosts disappears on its own when it gets old." What Yuji said "I beg you to defeat it with a cannon." The king did not agree. November 10, 1486, the 17th year of King Seongjong

Even as a Korean I didn't know my people recorded history so well that everything is basically 100% factual since there are zero bias and you can learn what each king did from their embarrassing moments, atrocities, kindness, hedonism, greed, etc. I mean, they even recorded a King who fell down a horse. Something most nations would never record since they want their leaders to be seen as flawless and perfect. Kinda how most things we know about Rome were wrong cause we took a fanfic that survived for decates as "historical evidence." Such as, we learned that Romans wore different armors depending on the Ceasar and time period. Or that gladiators were a sport until that one mad man turned it into the blood sport we know in media.

Roman history is even worse because contemporary writers were incredibly biased and oftentimes rumor or propaganda was recorded as fact. Thats' why there's so many seemingly insane Roman rulers. They were probably average or even good rulers who ended up deposed/assassinated and the new Emperor was like "Hey Buttonholius the Eldar, write a history about how my predecessor raped cats".

[@falkyrie5228]

Slow down, lil bro. It's still not 100% accurate, nothing ever is. The historian who wrote it down might have been biased, and since no one could read it to fact check him, his version is what survived. Besides, there were 4 copies of these records, we just have the one that survived. There is no saying that whoever was tasked with copying the original document didn't change stuff. It's still an amazing feat and probably more accurate than most other historical documents, but it's definitely not 100% accurate.

One even lost a status of noblemen if a house failed to produce a beaucrat for three generations(commoners were also eligible to take the exam, so there were constant supply of exam takers).

The Rhee(= Le, Li, Ri) family of the Joseon Dynasty, who migrated to Silla and Goryeo, were Chinese who tried to falsify a lot of history books of original Korean, so when they created a dynasty, they were obsessed with creating a lot of records because they were afraid by the historical falsification they had done before.

The idea of remaining neutral by never allowing anyone to read them is an interesting one.

Did the Sacho continuing today ? Can we read it ? So his content was only known by historian writers ? Or is he being published and other peoples can read it after ?

[@BymesYS]

Sacho literally means draft, so after main silok is done, all the papers that sacho wrote on were washed to be re-used. Paper at that time was more like fiber so that it can be washed and not that cheap material. That clean-up ceremony is called ‘Secho’, literally means washing up Sacho.

You can read it online. But the text is written in Chinese(traditional, is different from modern Chinese). There are Korean translations offered, but not in English.

[@equilibrum999]

yes, Sacho is publisht.

[@Karznax]

Everything is published online. You can search up 조선왕조실록 and it'll probably be the first link to show up. The translations are only offered in korean though.
