Everyday Life in Koguryo
Opening Exhibition: A Panoramic View of the 700 Years of Koguryo
"A Grandson of Habaik and son of the Sun and the Moon, Chumosung King was born in Northern Buyo, a village therefore to be considered the most sacred of all villages." These are the words inscribed on the tombstone of Moduru, who lived in the Koguryo period. Moduru was a local government official under Gwang-gae-to King in the early part of the 5th Century, when Koguryo was at the peak of its glory. For a person who lived in this powerful kingdom, the birthplace of the kingdom's founding royalty was the most sacred place in the world. The people of Koguyo thought that the world was made up of three equally strong powers: Northeast Asia, China, and Continental Asia. To them, the center of Northeast Asia including Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula was Koguryo.
