Speaking of North Korea, everyone is familiar with it, but do you know what the Baekdu Mountain bloodline of North Korea is all about?In 2011, the front page of North Korea's Rodong Sinmun published a paragraph: "The Paektu Mountain bloodline is the eternal blood of our country's revolution, and we must inherit the Baektu Mountain bloodline in purity regardless of any situation in the world and resolutely continue to do so." In this regard, we can't help but wonder, what exactly is the bloodline of Baektu Mountain?It can make the North Korean people desperate to defend it, even at the cost of their lives.

In North Korea, as an absolutely mainstream ideological system at the social level, the formation of the Baekdu Mountain bloodline has profound historical and political traces, and we will understand the mysterious Baektu Mountain bloodline from these two aspects.
From a historical point of view, according to the Korean history "The Remains of the Three Kingdoms", the ancestor of the Korean nation, Danjun, was born in Baektu Mountain, therefore, Baektu Mountain is regarded as the birthplace of Korea, and like other ethnic groups, the history of Korea also originated from a legendary myth and legend.
According to the records of wild history, in 2333 B.C., Emperor Shakti sent his son Huan Xiong to the Korean Peninsula to govern the world. Later, he gave birth to a son Wang Jian, known as Danjun, in the Tianchi of Baekdu Mountain, he is the national ancestor that the Koreans believe in, and Baekdu Mountain is also regarded as the birthplace of the Korean nation, similar to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River in the hearts of the Chinese. Korean historians calculate that they have a "half a thousand years of history" from the beginning of the day of Huan Xiong's descent from the earth, Danjun later established Danjun Joseon, and after the founding of the country 1,500 years later, it gave way to the Yin Shang nobles who were exiled in the northern region of the Korean Peninsula.
In the 3rd century, Chinese Confucianism was introduced to the Korean Peninsula, and from 1392 to 1910, it was the heyday of the development of Confucianism on the Korean Peninsula. Judging from the history of North Korea's development, the values of the North Korean people are deeply influenced by Confucianism.
From the political point of view, the Korean Peninsula was enslaved by Japan during the period when it became a Japanese colony, that is, from 1910 to 1945, the Korean Peninsula was incorporated into Japan, and Korea crossed directly from the feudal ruling society to socialism.
With the emergence of Kim Il Sung, the Korean War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression also kicked off, and Baektu Mountain, just like our country's Jinggang Mountain, is Kim Il Sung's base for resisting Japan and saving the country, his son Kim Jong Il was also born in Baektu Mountain, so "Baektu Mountain blood" has become the core political discourse of North Korea, in fact, this bloodline is similar to what we often say "Yan and Huang descendants", all of which emphasize national self-esteem, self-renewal and self-reliance, on the other hand, in North Korea's political culture, "Baektu Mountain blood" That is, Kim Il Sung's family lineage, because Baektu Mountain is not only the base of Kim Il Sung's anti-Japanese revolution, but also the birthplace of Kim Il Sung's son Kim Jong Il. Therefore, the Kim Il Sung family lineage, represented by the Baektu Mountain bloodline, has become the most influential family lineage recognized by the Korean people.
In the inheritance of blood, it is irrefutable that the son follows the instructions of his father. After Kim Il Sung's death, Kim Jong Il adhered to the Juche ideology, and after Kim Jong Il's death, Kim Jong Un continued to adhere to the Songun politics, both in order to reflect the lineage of blood. Moreover, the names of the three generations of grandparents overlap with each other, which is also to emphasize the inheritance of the lineage.
In order to maintain the authority of the Baektu lineage, Kim Jong-un even rode a white horse on a white horse on Paektu Mountain, and declared: "Even if we have experienced a lot of hardships for 10 generations and 100 generations, we will only hold on to the Paektu lineage for generations."
In general, there are two reasons for the Korean people's worship of the "Paekdu Mountain bloodline": one is that the Korean people are deeply influenced by Confucianism, and their "patriarchal" system and "bloodline theory" also deeply affect them, and the other reason is that the prestige of the Kim Il Sung family in the hearts of the Korean people is quite high, and the unity of their three generations in maintaining the dignity of their bloodline makes the Korean people worship them from the bottom of their hearts. The above is the origin of the "Baektu Mountain blood" in North Korea.
