Seoul, or Seoul, is the Chinese transliteration of English Seoul. Seoul, which straddles the banks of the Han River, the largest river in South Korea, is the largest city in South Korea, with a population of 30%. It is the political, economic and cultural center city of South Korea. Seoul has a long history (for South Korea, of course), and the first prosperity of the city was in the era of Wang Gaoli about 1000 years ago. At that time, the capital of North Korea was Kaesong on the south bank of Jiang Licheng (Linjin River), known as Juniper. North Korea has several capital cities, including two important cities-"Xijing" Pyongyang and "Nanjing" Yangzhou.
This "Yangzhou" is now Seoul. 14-15th century, the Korean regime changed, and the aristocratic forces headed by Li Chenggui replaced the Wangs' Koryo and established a new dynasty. According to the requirements of the new dynasty and the approval of Ming Chengzu, the emerging dynasty used the name of the earliest country on the ancient peninsula-Korea, which means "the land of bright sun and sunrise".
The Li Dynasty was founded in 1392, and moved to Yangzhou in 1394. In order to express his admiration for the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains (not the Han Dynasty) and his determination to "serve the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly", Li Chenggui wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang, demanding that Yangzhou be renamed "Seoul", that is, "hansung" in English.
Because Seoul is located on the north bank of the Han River, the city is also called Hanyang according to the geomantic principle of "Hebei is Yang". As the capital of Lee Korea, Seoul has a history of more than 500 years. Gyeongbokgung Palace in the city is the palace of korean king in past dynasties, with the most revered "four-claw dragon" pattern in the whole peninsula, which shows that it is the political center of North Korea. After Japan invaded the kingdom of Korea, the Governor's Office was also established here.
19 10, the Korean peninsula became a Japanese colony, and Japan renamed it "capital" and pronounced it Keijo. 1945, the Korean peninsula was liberated, and the Republic of Korea made Seoul its capital. Although it is called the "capital", it doesn't write Chinese characters, but only uses Korean spelling, so Seoul becomes the only city on the Korean peninsula without Chinese characters. In other words, this "Seoul" does mean "capital" in Korean, but it doesn't mean anything. China's so-called "Seoul" is just a historical inertia. As a vassal state of ancient China, South Korea used Chinese characters, while scholars used Chinese.
Because the national policy follows closely China, and the whole country is committed to China, with a high degree of sinicization, it has always called itself "Little China" and regarded all countries except China as "barbarians", so it proudly called its capital "Seoul". But since modern times, China has been weak, and North Korea is ashamed to see the decline of China and the collapse of Lenovo's national sovereignty. Therefore, it is no longer called the capital Seoul, but continues the title of "capital" in Korean.
