History Lives - Buyeo and Samhan, Part 11: Sodo and Cheongun - A Sacred Ground Beyond the Reach of the Sword
AI 3-line summary
- The Samhan people kept a political leader and a Cheongun in charge of rituals separate, and barred the ruler's sword from reaching Sodo, the Cheongun's land.
- The record survives in the Wei section of the Samguk-ji, in the Eastern Barbarians chapter's Han entry, covering 78 small states: 54 Mahan states, 12 Jinhan states and 12 Byeonhan states.
- The series sees Sodo as an ancient example of separating religion and political power and of checks and balances, but also notes that no remains of Sodo have been confirmed, so interpretation should be cautious.
