Originating from a series of papers written by Prof. Noh Tae-don
over two decades of research, Korea's Ancient Koguryo Kingdom: A
Socio-Political History concentrates on the political and social
aspects of what was the largest of the Proto-Korean nation-states
(37 BCE to 668 CE) that finally succumbed to subversion and
invasion thirteen centuries ago. Its legendary origins are dealt
with from the standpoint of their long-term political implications,
as are its social institutions such as levirate marriage. Explored
in detail are the convoluted diplomatic, military, and commercial
relations with various Chinese dynasties as well as Japan, and the
shifting powers in Manchuria, Mongolia, and Central Asia. In
addition, perhaps for the first time anywhere, the Koguryo national
and provincial administrative structures are described as they
evolved over the seven centuries of the nation's existence.
Exhaustive documentation is provided throughout. As a landmark
study of the Koguryo kingdom, this work will be of considerable
value to students of Northeast Asian history in general and of
Korean history in particular.
