[196], The official histories of Korea written by Goryeo historians, such as the Samguk sagi and Samguk yusa, as well as the poetry written by the educated elite were all written in Classical Chinese. Twenty-five generations later, around 30,000 Koreans look back to Jang Sunnyong as the grandfather of their clan: the Jang clan, with its seat at Toksu village.[192]. [45], Sosurim, who succeeded the slain Gogukwon, reshaped the nation's institutions to save it from a great crisis. He was the third son of Genghis Khan and succeeded his father in 1229. The Yuan dynasty demoted the imperial titles of Goryeo and added "chung" (충; 忠), meaning "loyalty", to the temple names of Goryeo kings, beginning with Chungnyeol. [112] In the 4th century, after suffering defeats against the Xianbei and Baekje during the reign of Gogukwon, Sosurim instituted military reforms that paved the way for Gwanggaeto's conquests.

[37] It is said that Dongcheon, with his army destroyed, fled for a while to the Okjeo state in the east. In the end, he became indifferent to politics and entrusted that great task to the Buddhist monk Shin Don. In his time, the sangha was in a crisis of external appearance and internal issues of doctrine. The glaze is an ash glaze with iron colourant, fired in a reduction atmosphere in a modified Chinese-style 'dragon' kiln. [48] He instituted the era name of Yeongnak or Eternal Rejoicing, affirming that Goguryeo was on equal standing with the dynasties in the Chinese mainland. [14] In the Old Book of Tang (945), it is recorded that Emperor Taizong refers to Goguryeo's history as being some 900 years old. Beginning in 993, Goryeo faced multiple invasions by the Khitan-led Liao dynasty, a powerful nomadic empire to the north, but a decisive military victory in 1019 brought about a century of peace and prosperity as Goryeo entered its golden age. [12] After its fall, its territory was divided among the states of Later Silla and Balhae. [80][92][96] In 994, Goryeo proposed to Song a joint military attack on Liao, but was declined;[97] previously, in 985, when Song had proposed a joint military attack on Liao, Goryeo had declined. [37] Posthumously, temple names with the imperial characters of progenitor (조; 祖) and ancestor (종; 宗) were used. [83] However, Emperor Gaozong, too, was unable to defeat Goguryeo led by Yeon Gaesomun;[83][84] one of Yeon Gaesomun's most notable victories came in 662 at the Battle of Sasu (蛇水), where he annihilated the Tang forces and killed the invading general Pang Xiaotai (龐孝泰) and all 13 of his sons. [197][198][199]:264, In contrast to the Three Kingdoms era practice of writing hyangga poetry in hyangchal, an early writing form of writing in the Korean language using Chinese characters, the Goryeo aristocracy emphasized writing in Classical Chinese. Foreign relations and the military were controlled by the king. [59][60][61], Gwanggaeto the Great (r. 391–412) was a highly energetic emperor who is remembered for his rapid military expansion of the realm. This was the end of Goguryeo, and Tang annexed Goguryeo into its territory, with Xue Rengui being put initially in charge of former Goguryeo territory as protector general. This, too, was to consolidate monarchical authority. In the very front and rear was the light cavalry, used for intelligence, pursuit, and for weakening the enemy's strike. Michael J. Pettid, 《Korean Cuisine:An Illustrated History》, Reaktion Books, 2008. [5] Eventually, Chinese poetry was used as lyrics for both Chinese and native Korean melodies. [113][114] Goguryeo often enlisted semi-nomadic vassals, such as the Mohe people, as foot soldiers. Korea was transliterated as Cauli in The Travels of Marco Polo, of the Chinese 高麗 (MC Kawlej, mod. [43], The Song, Liao, and Jin dynasties were all well informed of, and tolerated, Goryeo's imperial claims and practices. If rivers and mountains were absent, extra defense lines were added. By 1356 Goryeo regained its lost northern territories. Their historiographical names were implemented in the Samgu… Each Kingdom is ruled by one of the great houses established by Aegon the Conqueror. Some military officials who refused to surrender formed the Sambyeolcho Rebellion and resisted in the islands off the southern shore of the Korean Peninsula. [150] For the next 61 years, the Choe house ruled as military dictators, maintaining the Kings as puppet monarchs;[154] Choe Chung-heon was succeeded in turn by his son Choe U, his grandson Choe Hang[155] and his great-grandson Choe Ui. [88] He was initially succeeded as Dae Mangniji, the highest position newly made under the ruling period of Yeon Gaesomun, by his oldest son Yeon Namsaeng. The royal court in Goryeo was at its most divided as it split into two conflicting factions led … With the establishment of the hereditary monarchy of the Kim family during the reign of King Naemul (356–402), the promulgation of state laws and decrees, and the annexation of the eastern half of the Kaya state on the eastern tip of the peninsula in the reign of King Pŏphŭng (514–540), Silla emerged as a full-fledged kingdom. Chungryong or Chunryonga (blue dragon) guarded the east, baek-ho (white tiger) guarded the west, jujak (red phoenix (bird)) guarded the south, and hyunmu (black turtle (sometimes with snakes for a tail)) guarded the north. During this tumultuous period, Goryeo momentarily conquered Liaoyang in 1356, repulsed two large invasions by the Red Turbans in 1359 and 1360, and defeated the final attempt by the Yuan to dominate Goryeo when General Choe Yeong defeated an invading Mongol tumen in 1364. [13] In 918, Goryeo was founded as the successor to Goguryeo and inherited its name. [178] This form of meditation is the main method taught in Korean Seon today. [149], In 1170, a group of army officers led by Jeong Jung-bu, Yi Ui-bang and Yi Go launched a coup d'état and succeeded. [174] Although Buddhist predominated, Taoism was practiced in some temples, as was shamanism. It began in 918 with Emperor Taejo. The cavalry were called Gaemamusa (개마무사, 鎧馬武士), and similar in type to the Cataphract.[115]. Munjong was highly praised and described as "benevolent" and "holy" (賢聖之君) in the Goryeosa. [203][204][205][206][207] The first metal movable type book was the Sangjeong Gogeum Yemun that was printed in 1234. [181] However, this period of relative decadence would nevertheless produce some of Korea's most renowned Seon masters. [36] Haedong, meaning "East of the Sea", was a distinct and independent world that encompassed the historical domain of the "Samhan", another name for the Three Kingdoms of Korea. [110] The Liao army pushed on toward Kaesong under constant enemy harassment, but shortly turned around and retreated after failing to take the well-defended capital. Gāolì).This was the Hanja for the Korean kingdom of Goryeo (Korean: 고려; Hanja: 高麗; MR: Koryŏ), which ruled most of the Korean peninsula during Marco Polo's time. Wine cups often had a tall foot which rested on dish-shaped stands. "Koryo" would later evolve into the modern name "Korea." The 613 and 614 campaigns were aborted after launch—the 613 campaign was terminated when the Sui general Yang Xuangan rebelled against Emperor Yang, while the 614 campaign was terminated after Goguryeo offered a truce and returned Husi Zheng (斛斯政), a defecting Sui general who had fled to Goguryeo, Emperor Yang later had Husi executed. [87] The next ruler, Seongjong, secured centralization of government and laid the foundation for a centralized political order. [49] However, the Baekje and Goguryeo refugees retained their respective collective consciousnesses and maintained a deep-seated resentment and hostility toward Silla. Thus, Silla could rely less on Goguryeo for elements of civilization and could get culture and technology directly from China. [89][90][91][92][93], The Tang dynasty Goguryeo general Gao Juren ordered a mass slaughter of Sogdian Caucasians identifying them through their big noses and lances were used to impale Caucasian children when he stormed Beijing (Fanyang) from An Lushan when he defeated An Lushan's rebels. In most other east Asian countries this title meant crown prince.

By the 14th century, the foundations of Korea’s Goryeo Dynasty (918 -1392 CE) started to collapse from years of war and de facto occupation from the Mongol Empire. [68] Jangsu, like his father, continued Goguryeo's territorial expansion into Manchuria and reached the Songhua River to the north.

Often, the king performed rites to his ancestors. [33] Goryeo used the Three Departments and Six Ministries imperial system of the Tang dynasty and had its own "microtributary system" that included Jurchen tribes outside its borders. [148] After political chaos, Uijong started to enjoy travelling to local temples and studying sutra, while he was almost always accompanied by a large group of civilian officers. [65] Gwanggaeto brought about a loose unification of the Korean Peninsula,[56][66] and achieved undisputed control of most of Manchuria and over two thirds of the Korean Peninsula.[56]. In 901 a man named 겅예 founded something called Later 고구려. Baekje and Goguryeo maintained their regional rivalry throughout their history, although they eventually formed an alliance in their wars against Silla and Tang. The name " Korea " is derived from the name of Goryeo, also spelled Koryŏ, which was first used in the early 5th century by Goguryeo. London: British Association for Korean Studies, 1994; pp. [115] There were developments in printing and publishing, spreading the knowledge of philosophy, literature, religion, and science. The Stele says he came from Buyeo and the Samgungnyusa and Samguk sagi say he came from Eastern Buyeo. Nothing could be more wrong. Yeon Gaesomun took an increasingly provocative stance against Silla and Tang China. One major issue that had long fermented in Chinese Seon, and which received special focus from Jinul, was the relationship between "gradual" and "sudden" methods in practice and enlightenment. During the 1380s, Goryeo turned its attention to the Wokou menace and used naval artillery created by Choe Museon to annihilate hundreds of pirate ships. This kind of corruption resulted in the profusion of increasingly larger numbers of monks and nuns with questionable motivations. "Technological Parallels between Chinese Yue wares and Korean celadons." [100] In the following year, under the pretext of avenging Mokjong, Emperor Shengzong of Liao led an invasion of Goryeo with an army of 400,000 soldiers. [190], One of those Central Asian immigrants to Korea originally came to Korea as an aide to a Mongol princess who had been sent to marry King Chungnyeol of Goryeo. [33] Goryeo maintained multiple capitals: the main capital "Gaegyeong" (also called "Hwangdo" or "Imperial Capital")[40] in modern-day Kaesong, the "Western Capital" in modern-day Pyongyang, the "Eastern Capital" in modern-day Gyeongju, and the "Southern Capital" in modern-day Seoul. Joseph P. Linskey, 《Korean Studies series》, Chimundang, 2003. The name "Goryeo" (Korean: 고려; Hanja: 高麗; MR: Koryŏ), which is the source of the name "Korea", was originally used by Goguryeo (Korean: 고구려; Hanja: 高句麗; MR: Koguryŏ) of the Three Kingdoms of Korea beginning in the early 5th century. [16], However, the weight of textual evidence from the Old Book of Tang, New Book of Tang, the Samguk sagi, the Nihon Shoki as well as other ancient sources would support a 37 BC or "middle" first century BC foundation date for Goguryeo. ... and gave Korea its current name. Silla (57 BC – 935 CE) was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. [115] Fu Bi, a grand councilor of the Song dynasty, had a high estimate of Goryeo's military ability and said that Liao was afraid of Goryeo. [107] According to the Goryeosa, the Khitans were attacked while crossing the Yalu River and many drowned. [97]To repeat, Koryŏ was not a vassal with tributary duties to the Five Dynasties, Sung, Liao, and Chin. [86] In addition, Seongjong laid the foundation for Goryeo's educational system: he founded the Gukjagam national university in 992, supplementing the schools already established in Kaesong and Pyongyang by Taejo, and national libraries and archives in Kaesong and Pyongyang that contained tens of thousands of books. This period thus came to be described as "five doctrinal and two meditational schools" (ogyo yangjong). Soju was first distilled around the 13th century, during the Mongol invasions of Korea. In 644, Tang began preparations for a major campaign against Goguryeo. Goryeo affiliated itself with the successive short-lived Five Dynasties beginning with the Shatuo Later Tang dynasty in 933, and Taejo was acknowledged as the legitimate successor to Dongmyeong of Goguryeo. However, Bojang continued to foment rebellions against Tang in an attempt to revive Goguryeo, organizing Goguryeo refugees and allying with the Mohe tribes. This led to the coup of Yi Ja-gyeom in 1126. The Liao dynasty sent 30 envoys with 50 camels as a gift in 942, but Taejo exiled the envoys to an island and starved the camels under a bridge, in what is known as the "Manbu Bridge Incident". The helmets were similar to helmets used by Central Asian peoples, decorated with wings, leathers and horsetails. Online discussion regarding this topic has increased. Goryeo Kingdom-----Goryeo, Koryo, or Cauli (918-1392), was a Korean dynasty established in 918 by Emperor Taejo. [42][43] From that point on, until the 7th century, territorial control of the peninsula would be contested primarily by the Three Kingdoms of Korea. This unification lasted until 1948, when North and South Korea were created. Tang set up the Protectorate General to Pacify the East, governed by Xue Rengui, but faced increasing problems ruling the former inhabitants of Goguryeo, as well as Silla's resistance to Tang's remaining presence on the Korean Peninsula. The Tripiṭaka Koreana was designated a National Treasure of South Korea in 1962, and inscribed in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register in 2007.[200][201]. [44][45] According to Henry Em, "[a]t times Song reception rituals for Koryŏ envoys and Koryŏ reception rituals for imperial envoys from Song, Liao, and Jin suggested equal rather than hierarchical relations". [102][103][104][105] The name Goryeo was first used during the reign of Jangsu in the 5th century. Wood, Nigel. By Kwon Mee-yoo This nation's name Korea is derived from an exonym of the 918-1392 Goryeo Kingdom, one of the ancient countries that reigned over the Korean peninsula. [citation needed] Archaeological evidence would support centralized groups of Yemaek tribes in the 2nd century BC, but there is no direct evidence that would suggest these Yemaek groups were known as or would identify themselves as Goguryeo. However, the reliability of the toponyms as linguistic evidence is still in dispute. They have many mountains and deep valleys and have no plains or marshes. Two hunts per year, led by the king himself, maneuvers exercises, hunt-maneuvers and parades were conducted to give the Goguryeo soldier a high level of individual training. Jumong was well known for his exceptional archery skills. Jumong's given surname was "Hae" (Korean: 해; Hanja: 解), the name of the Buyeo rulers. Many of the art pieces has an original style of painting. [101] The only terms were a "declaration of vassalage" and the release of a detained Liao envoy. [124] The Tamna kingdom of Jeju Island was incorporated into Goryeo in 1105. This system allowed Goguryeo to maintain and utilize an army of 50,000 without added expense, and 300,000 through large mobilization in special cases. [119][122] Beginning in 1034, merchants from Song and envoys from various Jurchen tribes and the Tamna kingdom attended the annual Palgwanhoe in Kaesong, the largest national celebration in Goryeo;[122] the Song merchants attended as representatives of China while the Jurchen and Tamna envoys attended as members of Goryeo's tianxia. He was forced to spend many years at the Yuan court, being sent there in 1341 as a virtual prisoner before becoming king. [119] Meanwhile, Liao sought to build closer ties with Goryeo and prevent a Song–Goryeo military alliance by appealing to Goryeo's infatuation with Buddhism, and offered Liao Buddhist knowledge and artifacts to Goryeo. [80][93] Afterward, Goryeo established the "Six Garrison Settlements East of the River" in its new territory. [51][52][53] Beginning in the late 8th century, Later Silla was undermined by instability because of political turbulence in the capital and class rigidity in the bone-rank system, leading to the weakening of the central government and the rise of the "hojok" (호족; 豪族) regional lords. [191] Jang married a Korean and became the founding ancestor of the Deoksu Jang clan. National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage, 〈Sul, Korean Alcoholic Beverages〉, 2013. [150] King Uijong went into exile and King Myeongjong was placed on the throne. Uicheon himself, however, alienated too many Seon adherents, and he died at a relatively young age without seeing a Seon-Gyo unity accomplished. After this, however, it began a steady decline. [15][16] With its victory over Liao, Goryeo was confident in its military ability and no longer worried about a Khitan military threat. [93] For a time, Goryeo and Liao enjoyed an amicable relationship. [74] The Balhae refugees contributed 10 percent of the population of Goryeo. In March 1258, the dictator Choe Ui was assassinated by Kim Jun. A Tang treatise of 668 records a total of 675,000 displaced personnel and 176 military garrisons after the surrender of Bojang. [110][111] Initially, there were four partially autonomous districts based on the cardinal directions, and a central district led by the monarch; however, in the first century the cardinal districts became centralized and administrated by the central district, and by the end of the 3rd century, they lost all political and military authority to the monarch.
