ㅇ According to
He established Hyeondo-gun, one of the Hansa counties, and the name of one of the Hyeondoguns is ‘Goguryeo Hyeon’.
→ There is a claim that Jumong founded Gyerubu, which belonged to Goguryeo County.
ㅇ If you look at the secret book of
→ Goguryeo, as we know it, lasted a total of 704 years from 37 BC to 668 AD.
ㅇ Goguryeo is a tribal confederation state, and there is a theory that in the current era of Goguryeo before Jumong, representative tribal chiefs were selected from various confederations.
→ It is said that after Jumong, representative tribal chiefs emerged from Gyerubu, which Jumong established.
② Jumong’s last name is Go, and his son Yuri’s last name is Hae.
ㅇ Father Jumong’s last name is known as Gojumong, but son Yuri’s last name is Haeyuri, not Goyuri.
Also, until the 6th King Taejo, King Daemusin, King Minjung, and King Mobon were all of the Hae clan, and from the reign of King Taejo, they were again of the Go clan.
→ Jumong was originally from the Hae clan, but after escaping from Buyeo, he changed to the Go clan, but Yuri did not know this and used Hae.
→ The meaning of du means high, and hae means the sun, so they have the same meaning.
→ Originally, Jumong was of the Hae clan, but during the reign of King Taejo, his history was changed to Go clan.
– During the reign of King Taejo, the 6th king, a war broke out between the Hae clan and the Go clan, and King Taejo, a Go clan, won and sought recognition for his legitimacy.
The founder Jumong’s last name was changed from Hae to Go.
③ Was Jumong executed?
ㅇ If you look at Lee Kyu-bo’s Dongguk Yisang-guk collection, there is a saying that ‘the crown prince held a funeral with the jade whip left behind by the king.’
→ Here, the prince means Yuri, and the king means Jumong, which means that the ancestral rites were held without a body.
→ If this is true, it means that Jumong’s body was not in Goguryeo.
→ There is a theory that at the time, China asked Goguryeo for help in conquering the Huns, but Jumong refused and was assassinated.
→ Another theory is a continuation of number ②, and it is true that Jumong was of the Go clan, but Yuri, who was of the Hae clan, staged a coup and executed Jumong.
④ King Gwanggaeto is the 17th generation descendant of the founder Jumong.?
ㅇ The Goguryeo royal history we learn is based on the Samguk Sagi, and it states that King Gwanggaeto is the 13th generation descendant of the founder Jumong.
ㅇ However, this phrase appears on the tombstone of King Gwanggaeto the Great, erected by King Jangsu, the son of King Gwanggaeto the Great.
→
‘In the 17th generation, King Gukgangsang Gwanggaeto Gyeongpyeonganho ascended the throne at the age of 18 and named the era Yeonjae.’
ㅇ In other words, there were several more kings between Jumong and King Gwanggaeto.
⑤ Who are Yeodal, Yeoyul, and Makrae?
ㅇ This phrase appears in Wei Shu, China’s official history book.
‘When Jumong died, Yeo Dal ascended the throne. When Yeoda died, his son Yeoyul ascended to the throne. When Yeoyul died, her son Makrae
He ascended to the throne and later ruled Buyeo.’
ㅇ If this is the case, it is possible to interpret King Gwanggaeto’s 17th generation descendant (number ④) to some extent.
ㅇ There are questions about who Yeo Dal, Yeoyul, and Mak Rae are, but there are theories that they are the descendants of Jumong, the theory that they are the descendants of King Yurimyeong, etc.
There are theories that they were various tribal leaders of Goguryeo County.
→ However, in the above text, it is mentioned that Jumong’s son was Yeo-dal, Yeo-dal’s son was Yeo-yul, and Yeo-yul’s son was Mak-rae.
⑥ Conquest of Buyeo = King Daemusin?
ㅇ In the Samguk Sagi, the king who conquered Buyeo appears as King Daemusin.
ㅇ However, in Weishu, the Chinese historical record mentioned in number ⑤, it appears that the conquest of Buyeo was carried out by ‘Makrae’.
According to the Samguk Sagi (History of the Three Kingdoms), King Daemusin is the 3rd king of Goguryeo, and Makrae is the 4th king according to the Wisdom.
King Daemusin = Is it Makrae?
So who is the one king who disappeared between Jumong and King Daemusin?
⑦ King Taejo (Birth: 47 ~ Mol: 165)
ㅇ What is the strange year of birth and death of King Taejo?
→ Did he really live to the age of 118?
→ Or was there great chaos in Goguryeo between King Mobon and King Taejo, and history was rewritten with the victory of King Taejo’s faction?
→ According to the Samguk Sagi (History of the Three Kingdoms), King Mobon, the king immediately preceding King Taejo, was assassinated by Tyro.
⑧ What was King Jangsu’s fault?
ㅇ If you look at the letter sent to Northern Wei by King Gaero of Baekje at the time, it says, ‘Now, Yeon (King Jangsu) of Goguryeo has committed a sin and the country has turned itself into fish meat.
There is a phrase that says, ‘There is no end to the killings of ministers and nobles.’
→ It was around the time when King Jangsu was about 70 years old, and it is presumed that his royal authority was very strong during this time.
So what on earth was King Jangsu’s crime?
⑨ Jumong = King Dongmyeong?
ㅇ This is what appears in the epitaph of Mt. Yeonnam. ‘A long time ago, Dongmyeong felt the energy and opened a country beyond Sacheon, and Jumong embraced the sun…’
→ If this is true, the Jumong and King Dongmyeong we know are different people.
