Talk:Daemusin of Goguryeo

Description of Nangnang is not fringe
Based on Samguk Sagi, Daemusin destroyed two nangnangs at AD 32 and AD37. Nobody has explained these two destruction except Yoon and Choe. So, I added the explanation. --Hairwizard91 15:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Whoa, hold on! Lelang Commandery was around until the 4th century AD. What is this business about it being destroyed in 37 AD? --SohanDsouza 16:50, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

And in that case, what did King Micheon destroy?--SohanDsouza 05:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Source wrongly quoted
Hi GwangjuCajun, the source that you cited doesn’t support your recent edit. The source only says as follows:

In contrast, third-century texts of the Weizhi (300 years after initial Han contact) reveal the existence of various guo (or tribal kingdoms) such as Puyo, Koguryo, Okcho, Eastern Ye and Samhan.

This paper you provided as source primarily focuses on the culture contact between Han Lelang and surrounding tribal kingdoms. But there is no criticism about the Korean historical records (like Samguksagi or Samgukyusa) on Proto–Three Kingdoms of Korea, at the time that the Daemusin of Goguryeo ruled his kingdom.

For reference, early history of Goguryeo, since its establishment, is well attested archaeologically:


 * First capital city of the Koguryo Kingdom, Wunu Mountain City


 * Capital cities of the ancient Koguryo Kingdom, Guonei City and Wandu Mountain City  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jagello (talk • contribs) 22:22, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Hodong/Nakrang legend
The assertion:
 * After fending off China's attack in 28, he sent his son, Prince Hodong, who was about 16 at the time, to attack the Nangnang Commandery in northwestern Korea in 32. He destroyed Nangnang in 37,[1][2] but an Eastern Han army sent by Emperor Guangwu of Han, captured it in 44.

is hardly proven by the four references given.

(1) New History of Korea. Written by Lee Hyun Hee, Park Sung Soo, Yoon Nae Hyung; published by Jimundang. Published in year 2005.
 * Which page ?

(2) Yong-ho Ch'oe, Reinterpreting Traditional History in North Korea. The Journal of Asian Studies, 40, 503-523.
 * To my best knowledge, the words Daemusin or Hodong do not occur, even once.

(3) Samguk Sagi.
 * which page of which book of which transcription ?

(4) 삼국 사기
 * this was not a fourth source !
