Taebong(Korean:태봉;Hanja:Thái phong;RR:Taebong;MR:T'aebong;Korean pronunciation:[tʰɛ.boŋ]) was a state established byKung Ye(Korean:궁예;Hanja:Cung duệ) on theKorean Peninsulain 901 during theLater Three Kingdoms.[1]
Name
[edit]The state's initial name wasGoryeo,after the official name ofGoguryeo,a previous state inManchuriaand the northernKorean Peninsula,from the 5th century. After suggestion by Ajitae, Kung Ye changed the state's name toMajin(from maha jindan) in 904, and eventually toTaebongin 911. When Wang Kon overthrew Kung Ye’s regime and founded theGoryeo dynasty,he restored its original name.
To distinguish Kung Ye's state from Wang Kon's state, later historians call this stateLater Goguryeo(Hugoguryeo) orTaebong,its final name.
History
[edit]Taebong was established with the support of the rebellious Silla people, the mixed Goguryeo-Lelang people.
According to legend, Kung Ye was a son of eitherKing HeonanorKing Gyeongmun of Silla.Asoothsayerprophesied that the newborn baby would bring disaster toSillastate, so the king ordered his servants to kill him. However, his nanny hid Kung Ye and raised him secretly.[2]He joinedYang Kil's rebellion force in 892. Silla, after nearly a millennium as a centralized kingdom, was quickly declining, and Kung Ye instigated his own rebellion and absorbed Wang Kon's forces atSongak.In 898, He set up the capital in Songak. He eventually defeated Yang Kil and other local military lords and warlords in central Korea to proclaim himself king in 901.
Kung Ye transferred the capital from Songak toCheorwonin 905. Taebong at its peak consisted of territory in the present-day provinces ofNorthandSouth Hwanghae,Gyeonggi,Gangwon/Kangwon,Pyongyang,North Chungcheongand the southern part ofSouth Jeolla.
In his later days, Kung Ye proclaimed himself aBuddhaand became a tyrant who sentenced death to anyone opposing him, including his own wife. Lady Gang. As a result, in 918 four of his own generals—Hong Yu,Pae Hyŏn-gyŏng,Sin Sung-gyŏmandPok Chigyŏm—overthrew Taebong and installed Wang Kon as King Taejo.[3]
Soon thereafter,Goryeowas established. Taebong influenced Goryeo culturally. Kung Ye was originally aBuddhist monk.He encouragedBuddhismand changed the manners of national ceremonies Buddhist, including the Palgwanhoe (팔관회, tám quan sẽ ) and Seokdeungnong (석등롱, thạch đèn lồng, Stone lantern). These changes survived the death of Kung Ye and the fall of Taebong.
