In fact, the Japanese government has admitted that it is illegal for 1905 to incorporate Dokdo into Shimane Prefecture, and the statement that Dokdo is an inherent territory of Japan is purely fictitious. 1877, the meiji government explicitly admitted in the taizhengguan directive that "dokdo and ulleungdo are not Japanese territory". Taisho was the highest state organ during the Meiji period in Japan. Taisho directive refers to the national document issued by Taisho to the Ministry of Interior and Shimane Prefecture in March 1877 after investigating the sovereignty of Dokdo and Ulleungdo. The document clearly records that "Dokdo and Ulleungdo are not Japanese territory". Korean academic circles regard this document as a "decisive historical verification" for the Japanese government to officially recognize Dokdo as South Korea.
The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently replied that it is currently unable to reply. The defense of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in fact tantamount to acknowledging that Japan's previous claim to Dokdo's territorial rights is groundless. Previously, Japan claimed that at least by the middle of the17th century, Japan had effectively controlled Dokdo and had territorial rights, and in 1905, it reconfirmed its territorial rights through a cabinet decision.
The main contents of Yonhap News Agency's inquiry book include: whether it is clear about the existence of the Taizheng Pavilion Instruction; If you know this document, why didn't you mention the instructions of Zheng Taijun, who has an important relationship with the territorial rights of Dokdo? According to the Taizhengguan directive, the Japanese government's previous claim that "Japan has the territorial right of Dokdo at least before the middle of17th century" is tantamount to fiction; When Dokdo was brought into the administrative jurisdiction of Shimane Prefecture in 1905, did it deliberately conceal the instructions of Zheng Tai military officers, and so on.
After Yonhap News Agency's inquiry, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said several times that it was "studying relevant questions and waiting for a reply", repeatedly avoiding answering questions or delaying time. Until 60 days later,165438+1October 13 sent a reply saying: I know the existence of Taizhengguan instruction; Historical facts are being investigated and analyzed, and it is impossible to express opinions from the perspective of the government at present.
It is recorded in Taizhengguan Directive that "Dokdo and Ulleungdo are not Japanese territory".
This is the first time that the Japanese government officially acknowledged the existence of the Taizheng Pass Directive and made a stand on it. Yonhap News Agency quoted a Japanese professor from Sejong University, who asked not to be named, as saying that the Japanese government and imperial scholars have been deliberately concealing the existence of the Taizhengguan Directive from the international community and Japanese nationals for decades. Because Japan is worried that the saying that "Dokdo is Japan's inherent territory" has been broken. If the Japanese government recognizes the Japanese order, it means that 1905' s inclusion of Dokdo in Japanese territory is an imperialist plunder that ignores the Japanese order. Therefore, this order cannot be recognized or refuted in the future. However, it is also possible for Japan to produce other records that can offset official documents or fabricate relevant facts.
Li, a professor of international law at Renhe University in South Korea, said that from the perspective of international law, South Korea must prove that Dokdo was a Korean territory when Japan incorporated it into its territory in 1905. The Taizhengguan Directive is a decisive document supporting the claim of the ROK. On the contrary, it is Japan's Achilles heel.
In addition, before 106, 1900 and 10, the Korean Empire formulated "Lingze No.41",which stipulated that Dokdo was under the jurisdiction of Ulleungdo Island. On the 24th, Taifu Sakamoto, a professor at Sejong University who has been studying the sovereignty of Dokdo, published two ancient maps made by the Japanese, of which Dokdo was marked as Korean territory. This open map is of great significance, because it was made before the Japanese emperor occupied the Korean peninsula and included Dokdo in his territory.
The maps published by Professor Baoban are the full map of North Korea made by Tokyo gentry Suzuki in 1882 and the full map of Great Japan made by Otsuka Longtan in 1893. Both maps were made by the Japanese, but Ulleungdo (Takeshima) and Dokdo (Matsushima) are marked in the whole map of South Korea, while Dokdo and Ulleungdo are not in the whole map of Japan.
Although Japan now refers to Dokdo in South Korea as "Bamboo Island", from the middle of17th century to 1905, Ulleungdo was always referred to as Bamboo Island, and Dokdo was called "Songdao". Professor Yasaka said: "The map of Japan even shows Okinawa, where 187 1 merged into the mainland, and Ogasawara Islands, to which 1876 belongs. The lower end is quadrangular, but Dokdo and Ulleungdo Island do not appear. It can be seen that Japan' s so-called'17 th century began to own Dokdo' is purely a lie. "
He also said: "At the same time, the map of South Korea made by the Japanese marked the correct location of the two islands. This is evidence that Japanese society recognizes Ulleungdo and Dokdo as Korean territory. " Professor Yasaka visited Ulleungdo and Dokdo Museum in Gyeongbuk on June 5438+09, and donated two maps. Japan designated Dokdo as an uninhabited island at the cabinet meeting in 1905, and decided to incorporate it into Shimane Prefecture. At this time, a map marked Dokdo as Japanese territory appeared.
Other Japanese ancient books recording Dokdo as Korean territory.
Audio-visual Collection of Hidden States (1667), Exploration of North Korea's Communication (1869 Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Zheng Tai Palace Decision (1876 Japanese Ministry of Interior), Map of North Korea's East Coast (1876 Japanese Ministry of the Navy).
Dokdo is also marked as Korean territory in China's ancient map "General Map of the Eighth Route of Korea".
Dong Yue, an envoy of the Ming Dynasty in China, made an audio-visual record called "North Korea Fu" according to the imperial edict of Yingzong 1488 after visiting the territory of North Korea. The general plan of North Korea's Eighth Route Army is recorded on pages 4-5 of this journal. It can be proved that Dokdo belongs to Korean territory. Korean Fu is a manuscript in which Japanese pronunciation was added to the original Chinese characters in Japan in 17 17. It is now treasured in Japan.
