The Quest’s “Samgukji Travel in the Room” Published YouTuber Yang Yang, a travelling general, has 8 million views. It feels like watching a movie of the Samgukji series in the hidden hot place of Yuvi and Guanwoo, where Jojo used to drink
A man crazy about the Three Kingdoms has come up with an erratic travel book written by a man who ran on his feet through the scene of history. It is “A Journey to the Three Kingdoms of the Room” published by Park Chang-hoon, the operator of the YouTube channel “General Yang Yang-yi,” which has nearly 60,000 subscribers.
I’m surprised when I open this book while snorting, “Hey, it’s the Three Kingdoms again.” It is different from a flat, boring history book.
The travel general Yang Yang-yi Park Chang-hoon ran with his feet along the Three Kingdoms. His video, which can be viewed on YouTube, is “a journey from the cradle of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms to the battle scene and the tomb.” It started in 2019 and has scored as many as 80 points so far.
The quality of the exploration is also different. The author didn’t fall into the Three Kingdoms because he likes to travel. He is a history expert with a degree in history and a master’s degree in education in China. As a fan of the Three Kingdoms, it is also attractive to verify the related literature several times before the trip and compare historical materials and geography in order to deliver accurate information to subscribers.
In “The Trip to the Three Kingdoms of the Room (Wi Dynasty, Chok Dynasty), various stories of history, space, legend and historical evidence intersect, including the tombs of the capital city and heroes, the battlefield, as well as the local people’s evaluation of Jojo, the cliff that the tribute fled from this angle, and the legendary rock that the footprint of the Yeopo remains.
It is also notable that the stories of the Wei and Chok dynasties were divided into parts 1 and 2. In the first part, Jojo’s story is the theme. The background and meaning of Jojo are reinterpreted by visiting Chohyeon, Jojo’s hometown, the place where the Seoju massacre took place, the route of the Heonje’s escape from Jangan, and Jojo’s city from Heochang to Upseong. In “Standing in Jojo’s Empire from Heuchang to Upseong,” it connects Baekma battlefield, Dongjakdae, and waterway opening sites to explain on what land Jojo’s political ambitions were specifically realized.
Part 2 is on Chokna’s side. Visit the mulberry tree standing in Liu Bei’s hometown, the shrine of Dowon Gyeol, the area ruled by Liu Bei, and the place where the Korean-Chinese battle took place. In “The Road to the Real Red Wall,” it is also delicious to learn about the mouth of the Yangtze River, where fierce battles took place, and why Jojo-gun was forced to be defeated.
Each chapter contains “background knowledge” so that beginners can easily understand it. The QR code linked to the YouTube video is inserted, so you can also see it with your eyes. Don’t forget that a map showing the author’s “travel route” is included. There are also many exciting attractions, such as the rock in the legend that the footprints of the yupo remain, the pillars with traces of fortune leaning on them, and the tomb of the equipment.
It is a kind commentary for beginners, and it approaches the Three Kingdoms mania as an opportunity to look at the Three Kingdoms from a new perspective.
In the book, you don’t just walk past the attraction. While communicating with local residents in fluent Chinese, it tells a vivid story of the “Three Kingdoms.”
I am also a history student who majored in Korean history. That’s why I know it well. In fact, the way to find history is not easy. Most of them are places where transportation is not in place or roads are not well paved because they visit old castles and battlefields in history. It’s nice to see traces of Park Chang-hoon using passion and affection as raw materials throughout the book, “If you don’t have a stone bridge, you make it.”
It is also a strange attraction to enjoy books and videos together because there is a YouTube channel. Channel subscribers are enthusiastic about the efforts to capture China’s vast Goseong, huge mountains and rivers. The praise is broken one after another, such as enjoying the “Three Kingdoms” scene comfortably in the corner of the room, the quality that is different from other contents, and the comparison with public TV documentaries.
By the way, how can this be. a trip to the Three Kingdoms in the corner of the room. It’s not like you read a book, but like you watched a movie from the Three Kingdoms series.
