Everything about Bukbuyeo totally explained
Bukbuyeo (북부여) (239 BCE - 58 BCE) was an ancient
Korean kingdom that was located and ruled in
Manchuria. It was founded in
239 BCE by
Haemosu, who was a former general and member of the royal family of
Gojoseon.
Though sources are scant, roughly same geographical area occupied by Bukbuyeo was later identified as the unified state of
Jolbon, and the foundation of the incipient state of
Goguryeo.
Founding
Following the fall of
Jinjoseon in 239 BCE, a young man named Haemosu led the Ohga (오가), the five ruling nobles of Jinjoseon, and established Bukbuyeo after six years of clashing with other states in the region. After founding Bukbuyeo, Haemosu Dangun ruled until 195 BCE, after which he was succeeded by his son
Mosuri Dangun.
History
After Haemosu, Mosuri ruled over Bukbuyeo and continued on the legacy of his father by further extending the borders of the kingdom. After the death of Mosuri in 170 BCE, his son,
Go Haesa Dangun, succeeded him to the throne and became the 3rd Dangun of Bukbuyeo. Go Haesa continued on the will of his father and grandfather by expanding Bukbuyeo's territories. In 121 BCE, Go Haesa died and was succeeded by his first son,
Go Uru Dangun, who ruled until 86 BCE.
Founding of Dongbuyeo and Jolbon Buyeo
In 86 BCE,
Hae Buru, the brother of Go Uru, rose to the throne. Hae Buru ruled for less than a year before Go Dumak, a direct descendant of
Goyeolga Dangun, rose up against him. Hae Buru and Go Dumak got into a power struggle, which resulted in Go Dumak's victory. Haeburu fled to Gaseopwon with several of his followers and established
Dongbuyeo.
Dongmyeong became the 5th Dangun of Bukbuyeo and changed the name of the state to Jolbon Buyeo or "
Jolbon." After his death, Go Musu became dangun but was succeeded by
Jumong, who changed the state's name to "Goguryeo" and united all former parts of Gojoseon by the time of his death.
The Danguns of Bukbuyeo
The rulers of Bukbuyeo used the title 'Dangun' until the rule of Jumong, who began using the title 'Taewang' during his reign over
Goguryeo. The usage of the title 'Dangun' signified that the Danguns of Bukbuyeo were successors of the Danguns of
Gojoseon.
