Danjong was so perfect that people called him "Little Sejong."
That's why the inferiority complex exploded, but he couldn't show his resentment openly.
It seems like it had been weighing on him for a long time and finally burst after the Gyeyu Jeongnan (coup of 1453).
In my opinion, that frustration was projected onto his younger brother, Grand Prince Anpyeong.
Grand Prince Anpyeong was the brother just one year younger than Grand Prince Suyang (King Sejo).
After the Gyeyu Jeongnan, Suyang was incredibly cruel to Anpyeong—to the point where...
Anpyeong had an amazing artistic sense in calligraphy, painting, poetry, etc., and Suyang burned it all lolololololol.
Anpyeong's calligraphy was so impressive that even King Sejong ordered it to be made into movable type.
But he melted it all down, so it's gone lol. Ugh, Suyang is such a jerk.
If it had survived, a golden age of Joseon art would have opened up.
Imagine the immense historical value if the type created by the Grand Prince had remained.
Also, he completely wiped out the family line, so there are no descendants.
And you know Anpyeong doesn't even have a grave, right? lolololol. The location is unknown.
Seriously, what a crazy bastard lolololololol. Dig up his grave and redevelop the land immediately.
He couldn't say a word to his older brother, but his inferiority complex exploded toward his younger brother.
With a perfect older brother above him and a younger brother with artistic talent praised even in the Ming Dynasty, his inferiority complex must have been substantial.
He was called "Samjeol" (The Three Perfections) for his excellence in calligraphy, poetry, and painting. He collected ancient Chinese paintings and books, studying the works of famous scholars like Zhao Mengfu and Su Shi (Su Dongpo). He mastered the Zhao Mengfu style—which had disappeared even in China—so well that the Ming Emperor was impressed.
When Ming envoys visited, they would rush to Grand Prince Anpyeong and beg him to write for them.
Being a master of calligraphy and a renowned figure of his time, he seems to have had a rich artistic temperament.
He was also said to be bold and humane, which is why many people liked and followed him.
Then wouldn't he be like that with the other brothers too?????
No.
"Grand Prince Geumseong, you're going to end up like Grand Prince Anpyeong" shivers.
Wait, what???? lolololol Suyang is seriously... lolololololol.
Grand Prince Geumseong was conflicted lolololololol.
Since he had no personal grudge against Geumseong, he had no choice but to kill him, but he spared the family.
(+But he was incredibly cruel when killing Geumseong, so obviously it was still bad).
But for Anpyeong, the inferiority complex led to the total annihilation of the family lolololololololol.
Dig up Suyang's grave and send it to a landfill lol.
Now that the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty have been fully translated, it seems the evaluation of King Sejo has changed.
And as you can see from Egypt, the cultural heritage built by ancestors has a huge impact on descendants for generations, yet he wiped it out.
There is no "if" in history, but if Grand Prince Anpyeong, who had great talent and interest in art, had lived longer, the history of Joseon art would have been different.
+
Because he feared the evaluation of future generations, he took the temple name "Sejo," which is higher than "Sejong."
Yejong, who overhyped his father, is also part of that damn family.
The video is interesting beyond this, so definitely watch it.
Let me know if there's anything wrong!
