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 Koguryŏ 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 Koguryŏ kingdom, this work will be of considerable value to students of Northeast Asian history in general and of Korean history in particular.Koguryŏ (Kingdom)KoreaHistoryTo 935Electronic books.951.9/01No T'ae-don844864Huston JohnMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464369603321Korea's ancient Koguryo kingdom1980616UNINA
