This is a national holiday commemorating August 15, 1945, when Korea was liberated from Japanese colonial rule. "Liberation" means the restoration of lost homeland and sovereignty. However, it also marks the beginning of a new suffering, the "division of the nation," and is the starting point of modern Korean history, known as the "era of division." August 15 is also a national holiday in North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) as "Liberation Day." Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
朝鮮が日本の植民地支配から解放された1945年8月15日を記念する祝日。〈光復〉とは失われた祖国と主権の回復をいう。だがそれは同時に〈民族分断〉という新たな受難の始まりでもあり,〈分断時代〉と呼ばれる朝鮮現代史の原点としての意味も持つ。なお8月15日は北朝鮮(朝鮮民主主義人民共和国)では〈解放記念日〉として祝日になっている。
