Founding legends of the Goryeo royal family
MarginalCost: added Category:Korean mythology using HotCat
According to the ''Pyeonnyeontongnok'' () written by Kim Gwan-ui during the [[Goryeo]] period, the origin of the Goryeo royal family is from [[Goguryeo]].<ref></ref> Hogyeong, who called himself General Seonggol, came from [[Mount Baekdu]] and traveled far and wide, finally settling down in Songak (modern [[Kaesong]]) and starting a family. While hunting on Mount Pyeongna, he met a widowed [[sansin|mountain spirit]] who asked for his hand in marriage and to become the king of the mountain.<ref name="Institute"></ref>
The ''daedongbo'' (a compilation genealogy book of related clans) of the Sincheon Gang clan claims that Gang Hogyeong was the 67th generation descendant of Gang Hu (), a son of Gang Suk (), who was a son of [[King Wen of Zhou|King Wen]] and a younger brother of [[King Wu of Zhou|King Wu]] of the [[Zhou dynasty]]. However, the historical veracity of that claim cannot be verified.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> Furthermore, the true progenitor of the Sincheon Gang clan is considered to be Gang Ji-yeon, a 14th generation descendant of Gang Hogyeong, not Gang Hogyeong himself.<ref></ref>
[[Gang Chung]], a son of Gang Hogyeong, planted pine trees on Mount Songak so that rocks wouldn't be visible in order to fulfill a prophecy, based on [[feng shui]] geomancy, that his descendant would unite the "[[Sam Han]]" (),<ref name="Institute" /><ref>Not to be confused with the ancient confederacies in the southern Korean Peninsula.</ref> which had become synonymous with the [[Three Kingdoms of Korea]].<ref></ref> He begot a son named Boyuk, whose daughter Jin-ui had a child named Jakjegeon with a member of the royal family of the [[Tang dynasty]]; according to the [[Goryeosa]], which cites the ''Pyeonnyeontongnok'', the father of the child was [[Emperor Suzong of Tang|Emperor Suzong]].<ref name="경강대왕"></ref> The union fulfilled a prophecy given to Boyuk by a sage that the [[Son of Heaven]] from the Tang dynasty would come to him and become his son-in-law.<ref></ref>
After reaching adulthood, Jakjegeon, who was described as courageous and exceptionally intelligent, set sail for Tang to meet his father Emperor Suzong. However, he was caught in a storm in the middle of the [[Yellow Sea]] and encountered a dragon woman () whom he brought back home and married.<ref name="경강대왕" /> According to Ko Woon-Kee of [[Yonsei University]], if the great-grandfather of Wang Geon is indeed Emperor Suzong of the Tang dynasty and the "dragon woman" of the Yellow Sea is considered to be symbolic of a Chinese woman, then that would make Wang Geon a third generation Chinese.<ref></ref> However, the ''Seongwonnok'' () identifies the "dragon woman" as the daughter of a man from [[Pyongsan County]] named ''Dueunjeomgakgan'' (),<ref name="의조경강대왕"></ref> who is thought to be a member of the Pyongsan Park clan.<ref></ref> Pyongsan County was called Pyeongju () during the [[Goryeo]] period,<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref></ref><ref></ref><ref></ref><ref></ref> and was home to General [[Sin Sung-gyeom]] of the [[Pyongsan Sin clan]], who famously sacrificed himself to save Wang Geon at the Battle of Gongsan. The dragon woman, known posthumously as [[Queen Wonchang]], gave birth to Wang Ryung, whose son Wang Geon would become the founder of Goryeo.<ref name="경강대왕" />
The [[Encyclopedia of Korean Culture]] interprets Jakjegeon being the son of Emperor Suzong of the Tang dynasty as a hagiography and his marriage to the dragon woman from the Yellow Sea as symbolic of the maritime influence of Wang Geon's ancestors, who engaged in trade with China for generations.<ref name="의조경강대왕" /> Likewise, the [[Doosan Encyclopedia]] agrees that the claim of Emperor Suzong being Wang Geon's great-grandfather was invented to increase the legitimacy of the Goryeo royal family by linking it to the Tang royal family.<ref></ref>
Xu Jing (), an envoy from the [[Song dynasty]] who went to Goryeo in 1123, documented in the ''Gaoli Tujing'' () that the ancestors of the Goryeo royal family were a great clan of Goguryeo.<ref></ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
