History Lives - Goguryeo Edition: Episode 32: Goryeo Inherits the Name of Goguryeo
AI 3-line summary
- Episode 32 of this history series examines how Wang Geon chose the name 'Goryeo' for the state in 918, taking the name of Goguryeo, which had vanished 250 years earlier.
- Wang Geon rebuilt Seogyeong (Pyongyang) and accepted Balhae refugees, and in 942, through the Manbugyo Incident, he made clear he would not seek peace with the Khitan.
- Some critics argue there is no evidence that the Wang Geon family was related to the Goguryeo royal house, and that the name 'Goryeo' amounts more to a symbolic borrowing of legitimacy.
