History Alive - Goguryeo Edition: Episode 4: Moving the Capital to Gungnaeseong
AI 3-line summary
- The fourth episode of the history series examines how King Yuri-wang of Goguryeo moved the capital from Jolbon to Gungnaeseong (Jian area) on the middle reaches of the Amnokgang in 3 BC.
- Gungnaeseong had a dual structure of a flatland city and Hwandosanseong fortress (676 m above sea level), and this city system is said to have protected Goguryeo for about 400 years.
- Scholars disagree on when the move took place, with some citing the reign of Yuri-wang and others 198 AD under King Sansang-wang, but they agree that the dual structure was an innovation.
