TheThree Kingdoms of KoreaorSamguk(Goguryeo,BaekjeandSilla) competed forhegemonyover theKorean Peninsuladuring the ancient period ofKorean history.The Three Kingdoms period is traditionally dated from 57 BC to 698 AD. Many states and statelets were consolidated until, afterBuyeowas annexed in 494 andGayawas annexed in 562, only three remained on the Korean Peninsula. The "Korean Three Kingdoms"contributed to what would become Korea; and the Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla peoples became theKorean people.[1]

The three kingdoms occupied the entire peninsula and roughly half ofManchuria(modern-dayNortheast Chinaand small parts of theRussian Far East).[2]Goguryeo controlled the northern half of the peninsula, as well asLiaodong Peninsulaand Manchuria. Baekje and Silla occupied the southern half of the peninsula. The island kingdoms ofTamnaandUsanwere subordinated to Baekje and Silla, respectively.

All three kingdoms shared a similar culture and language.[citation needed]Baekje and Goguryeo shared founding myths which likely originated in Buyeo.[3]Buddhism,which arrived in Korea in the 3rd century AD from India viaTibetand China, became the state religion of all constituents of the three kingdoms, starting with Goguryeo in 372 AD.[4]The Three Kingdoms of Korea all had a warrior aristocracy in contrast to the literary elite of China.[5]

The period ended in the 7th century, after Silla allied withTang Chinaand unified the peninsula for the first time in history. After the fall of Baekje and Goguryeo, the Tang dynasty established a short-livedmilitary governmentto administer parts of the Korean Peninsula. Silla was joined by Goguryeo and Baekje loyalists andfought the Tangfor hegemony over the Korean Peninsula.[6]Silla was eventually divided into theLater Three Kingdomsand ultimately annexed by the new Goguryeo revivalist state ofGoryeo.

Nomenclature[edit]

See also:Names of Korea

Beginning in the 7th century, the name "Samhan"became synonymous with the Three Kingdoms of Korea. The" Han "in the names of theKorean Empire,Daehan Jeguk,and theRepublic of Korea(South Korea),Daehan MingukorHanguk,are named in reference to the Three Kingdoms of Korea, not the ancient confederacies in the southern Korean Peninsula.[7][8]

According to theSamguk sagiandSamguk yusa,Sillaimplemented a national policy, "Samhan Unification" (삼한일통;Tam Hàn nhất thống;Samhan Iltong), to integrateBaekjeandGoguryeorefugees. In 1982, a memorial stone dating to 686 was discovered inCheongjuwith an inscription: "The Three Han were unified and the domain was expanded."[7]During theLater Sillaperiod, the concepts of Samhan as the ancient confederacies and the Three Kingdoms of Korea were merged.[7]In a letter to an imperial tutor of the Tang dynasty,Ch'oe Ch'i-wŏnequatedByeonhanto Baekje,Jinhanto Silla, andMahanto Goguryeo.[8]By theGoryeoperiod, Samhan became a common name to refer to all of Korea.[7]In his Ten Mandates to his descendants,Wang Geondeclared that he had unified the Three Han (Samhan), referring to the Three Kingdoms of Korea.[7][8]Samhan continued to be a common name for Korea during theJoseonperiod and was widely referenced in theAnnals of the Joseon Dynasty.[7]

In China, the Three Kingdoms of Korea were collectively called Samhan since the beginning of the 7th century.[9]The use of the name Samhan to indicate the Three Kingdoms of Korea was widespread in the Tang dynasty.[10]Goguryeo was alternately called Mahan by the Tang dynasty, as evidenced by a Tang document that called Goguryeo generals "Mahan leaders" (마한추장;Mã Hàn tù trưởng;Mahan Choojang) in 645.[9]In 651,Emperor Gaozong of Tangsent a message to the king of Baekje referring to the Three Kingdoms of Korea as Samhan.[7]Epitaphs of the Tang dynasty, including those belonging to Baekje, Goguryeo, and Silla refugees and migrants, called the Three Kingdoms of Korea "Samhan", especially Goguryeo.[10]For example, the epitaph of Go Hyeon (고현;Cao huyền), a Tang dynasty general of Goguryeo origin who died in 690, calls him a "Liaodong Samhan man" (요동 삼한인;Liêu Đông tam Hàn người;Yodong Samhanin).[9]

The name "Three Kingdoms" was used in the titles of the Korean historiesSamguk sagi(12th century) andSamguk yusa(13th century), and should not be confused with theThree Kingdomsof China.

Foundation[edit]

The Three Kingdoms were founded after the fall ofWiman Joseonand gradually conquered and absorbed various other small states and confederacies. After the fall ofGojoseon,theHan dynastyestablishedfour commanderiesin the northwesternKorean Peninsula[11][12][13][14][15]and presentLiaoning.[16]Three fell quickly to theSamhan,and the last was destroyed by Goguryeo in 313.

The nascent precursors ofBaekjeandSillaexpanded within the web of statelets during theProto-Three Kingdoms period,andGoguryeoconquered neighboring state likeBuyeoinManchuriaand chiefdoms inOkjeo,Dongyewhich occupied the northeastern Korean Peninsula. The three polities made the transition from walled-town state to full-fledged state-level societies between 1st – 3rd century AD.

The primary sources for this period includeSamguk sagiandSamguk yusain Korea, and the "Eastern Barbarians" section ( đông di truyền ) from theBook of Wei( Ngụy thư ) of theRecords of the Three Kingdomsin China.[citation needed]

All three kingdoms shared a similar culture and language. TheBook of Sui(Volume 81) recorded: "The customs, laws and clothes of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla are generally identical."[17]Their original religions appear to have beenshamanistic,but they were increasingly influenced by Chinese culture, particularlyConfucianismandTaoism.In the 4th century,Buddhismwas introduced to the peninsula and spread rapidly, briefly becoming the official religion of all three kingdoms.

According to Lisa Kay Bailey, the material culture of the Three Kingdoms can be clearly distinguished as they displayed cultural influence from different regions. Goguryeo's culture showed stronger influence from northern Chinese art, Baekche showed stronger influence from southern Chinese art, and Silla, which was more distant from China, showed greater influence from Eurasian steppe nomad cultures and greater preservation of native traditions.[18]During this period, the Three Kingdoms had yet to unify their separate identities. Each kingdom produced their own individual histories; only in the Goryeo dynasty period was the collective history of the Korean Peninsula written together.[19]

"The decline of Chinese power in the fourth century unleashed a wave of refugees that proved pivotal in speeding up the process of state-building in Korea," starting the Three Kingdoms era.[20]

Kingdoms[edit]

Goguryeo[edit]

See also:Military history of Goguryeo

Goguryeo emerged on the north and south banks of theYalu (Amrok)River, in the wake ofGojoseon's fall. The first mention of Goguryeo in Chinese records dates from 75 BC in reference to a commandery established by the ChineseHan dynasty,although even earlier mentions of "Guri" (구리) may be of the same state. Evidence indicates Goguryeo was the most advanced, and likely the first established, of the three kingdoms.

Goguryeo, eventually the largest of the three kingdoms, had several capitals in alternation: two capitals in the upper Yalu area, and later Nangrang (Lelangin Chinese) which is now part ofPyongyang.At the beginning, the state was located on the border with China; it gradually expanded into Manchuria and destroyed the ChineseLelang commanderyin 313. The cultural influence of the Chinese continued as Buddhism was adopted as the official religion in 372.

Goguryeo was a highly militaristic state;[21][22]it was a powerful empire and one of the great powers inEast Asia.[23][24][25][26]The state was at its zenith in the 5th century, during the rule ofKing Gwanggaeto the Greatand his sonKing Jangsu,and particularly during their campaign in Manchuria. For the next century or so, Goguryeo was the dominant nation in Manchuria and the northern Korean peninsula.[27]Goguryeo eventually occupied the Liaodong Plains in Manchuria and today'sSeoularea. Gwanggaeto achieved a loose unification of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.[28][29]

Goguryeo also controlledTungusictribes in Manchuria. After the establishment of theSui dynastyand later the Tang dynasty in China, the kingdom continued to take aggressive actions against China, Silla, and Baekje attacks until it was conquered by allied Silla–Tang forces in 668. Most of its territory was absorbed by the Tang dynasty of China, and the territory of Baekje was absorbed by Silla.

Baekje[edit]

Baekje was founded as a member of the Mahan confederacy. Two sons of thefounder of Goguryeoare recorded to have fled a succession conflict, to establish Baekje around the present Seoul area.[30][31][32]Baekje absorbed or conquered other Mahan chiefdoms and, at its peak in the 4th century, controlled most of the western Korean Peninsula. Buddhism was introduced to Baekje in 384 from Goguryeo, which Baekje welcomed.[27]

Baekje was a great maritime power;[33]its nautical skill, which made it thePhoeniciaof East Asia, was instrumental in the dissemination of Buddhism throughout East Asia andcontinental culture to Japan.[34][35]Baekje played a fundamental role in transmitting cultural and material developments toancient Japan,includingChinese written characters,ChineseandKorean literature,technologies such asferrous metallurgyandceramics,architectural styles,sericultureandBuddhism.[26][27][36][37]

Baekje exerted its political influence onTamna,a kingdom that ruledJejudo.Baekje maintained a close relationship with and extracted tribute from Tamna. Baekje's religious and artistic culture influenced Goguryeo and Silla. Baekje was once a great military power on the Korean Peninsula, especially during the time ofGeunchogo,[38]but was critically defeated by Gwanggaeto and declined.[39]

In the late 5th century, under attack from Goguryeo, the capital of Baekje was moved south to Ungjin (present-dayGongju) and later further south toSabi(present-dayBuyeo). Baekje was conquered by Silla-Tang alliance in 660, submitting theUnified Silla.

Silla[edit]

Bangasayusang,7th century

According to Korean records, in 57 BC, Seorabeol (or Saro, later Silla) in the southeast of the peninsula unified and expanded the confederation of city-states known asJinhan.AlthoughSamguk Sagirecords that Silla was the earliest-founded of the three kingdoms, other written and archaeological records indicate that Silla was likely the last of the three to establish a centralized government. Silla was the smallest and weakest of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, but it used cunning diplomatic means to make opportunistic pacts and alliances with the more powerful Korean kingdoms, and eventually Tang China, to its great advantage.[40][41]

Renamed from Saro to Silla in 503, the kingdom annexed theGaya confederacy(which in turn had absorbedByeonhanearlier) in the first half of the 6th century. Goguryeo and Baekje responded by forming an alliance. To cope with invasions from Goguryeo and Baekje, Silla deepened its relations with the Tang dynasty, with her newly gained access to theYellow Seamaking direct contact with the Tang possible. After the conquest of Goguryeo and Baekje with her Tang allies, the Silla kingdom drove the Tang forces out of the peninsula and occupied the lands south of Pyongyang.

The capital of Silla was Seorabeol (nowGyeongju;"Seorabeol", "서라벌", is hypothesized to have been the ancient Korean term for "capital" ). Buddhism became the official religion in 528. The remaining material culture from the kingdom of Silla including unique gold metalwork shows influence from the northern nomadic steppes, differentiating it from the cultures of Goguryeo and Baekje where Chinese influence was more pronounced.

Other states[edit]

Other smaller states or regions existed in Korea before and during this period:

  • TheGaya confederacywas a confederacy of small kingdoms in theNakdong Rivervalley of southern Korea since AD 42, growing out of the Byeonhan confederacy of the Samhan period. Archaeologists interpret mounded burial cemeteries of the late 3rd and early 4th centuries such as Daeseong-dong inGimhaeand Bokcheon-dong inBusanas the royal burial grounds of Gaya polities.[42]Gaya polities had economies that were based on agriculture, fishing, casting, and long-distance trade. Gaya polities exported abundant quantities of iron ore, iron armor, and other weaponry toBaekjeand theKingdom of Wa.Constantly engaged in war with the three kingdoms surrounding it, Gaya was not developed to form a unified state and was ultimately absorbed into Silla in 562.

Religion[edit]

Centuries afterBuddhism originated in India,theMahayanaBuddhismarrived in Chinathroughthe Silk Routein 1st century AD fromTibet,then to Korean Peninsula in the 3rd century from where it transmitted to Japan. In Korea, it was adopted by the state religion by three constituent polities, first by the Goguryeo ruling tribe ofGeumgwan Gayain 372 AD, by the Silla in 528 AD, and by the Baekje in 552 AD.[4]

Decline[edit]

Allied with China under the Tang dynasty, Silla conquered Goguryeo in 668, after having already conquered Gaya in 562 and Baekje in 660, thus ushering in the North–South states period with Later Silla to the south andBalhaeto the north, whenDae Jo-young,a former Goguryeo military officer, revolted against Tang Chinese rule and began reconquering former Goguryeo territories.

Archaeological evidence[edit]

Archaeologists usetheoreticalguidelines derived fromanthropology,ethnology,analogy, andethnohistoryto the concept of what defines astate-level society.This is different from the concept of state (gukorSinoko: Quốc, walled-town state, etc.) in the discipline of Korean history.

In anthropologicalarchaeologythe presence of urban centres (especially capitals), monumental architecture, craft specialization and standardization of production, ostentatious burials,writing or recording systems,bureaucracy,demonstrated political control of geographical areas that are usually larger in area than a single river valley, etc. make up some of these correlates that define states.[43]

Among the archaeology sites dating to the Three Kingdoms of Korea, hundreds of cemeteries with thousands of burials have been excavated. The vast majority of archaeological evidence of the Three Kingdoms period of Korea consists of burials, but since the 1990s there has been a great increase in the archaeological excavations of ancient industrial production sites, roads, palace grounds and elite precincts, ceremonial sites, commoner households, and fortresses due to the boom insalvage archaeologyin South Korea.

Rhee and Choi hypothesize that a mix of internal developments and external factors lead to the emergence of state-level societies in Korea.[43]A number of archaeologists including Kang demonstrate the role of frequent warfare in the development of peninsular states.[43][44][45]

Some individual correlates of complex societies are found in the chiefdoms of Korea that date back toc. 700 BC.[43][46]The best evidence from the archaeological record indicates that states formed between 300 BC and 300/400 AD.[44][45][47][48][49][50]However, archaeologists are not prepared to suggest that this means there were states in the BC era. The correlates of state-level societies did not develop as a package but rather in spurts and starts and at various points in time. It was some time between 100 and 400 AD that individual correlates of state societies had developed to a sufficient number and scale that state-level societies can be confidently identified using archaeological data.

Burials[edit]

Lee Sung-Joo analyzed variability in many of the elite cemeteries of the territories of Silla and Gaya polities and found that as late as the 2nd century there was intra-cemetery variation in the distribution of prestigegrave goods,but there was an absence of hierarchical differences on a regional scale between cemeteries. Near the end of the 2nd century AD, interior space in elite burials increased in size, and wooden chamber burial construction techniques were increasingly used by elites.

In the 3rd century, a pattern developed in which single elite cemeteries that were the highest in status compared to all the other cemeteries were built. Such cemeteries were established at high elevations along ridgelines and on hilltops. Furthermore, the uppermost elite were buried in large-scale tombs established at the highest point of a given cemetery.[49]Cemeteries with 'uppermost elite' mounded burials such as Okseong-ri, Yangdong-ri, Daeseong-dong, and Bokcheon-dong display this pattern.

Factory-scale production of pottery and roof-tiles[edit]

Lee Sung-Joo proposed that, in addition to the development of regional political hierarchies as seen through analysis of burials, variation in types of pottery production gradually disappeared and full-time specialization was the only recognizable kind of pottery production from the end of the 4th century A.D. At the same time the production centers for pottery became highly centralized and vessels became standardized.[49]

Centralisationand elite control of production is demonstrated by the results of the archaeological excavations at Songok-dong and Mulcheon-ni inGyeongju.These sites are part of what was an interconnected and sprawling ancient industrial complex on the northeast outskirts of the Silla capital. Songok-dong and Mulcheon-ri are examples of the large-scale of specialized factory-style productions in the Three Kingdoms and Unified Silla periods. The site was excavated in the late 1990s, and archaeologists found the remains of many production features such aspotterykilns,roof-tile kilns,charcoalkilns, as well as the remains of buildings and workshops associated with production.

Capital cities, elite precincts, and monumental architecture[edit]

Since the establishment of Goguryeo, its early history is well attested archaeologically: the first and secondcapital cities,JolbonandGungnaecity, are located in and around today'sJi'an, Jilin.In 2004, the site was designated as aWorld Heritage SitebyUNESCO.Since 1976, continuing archaeological excavations concentrated in the southeastern part of modernGyeongjuhave revealed parts of the so-calledSilla Wanggyeong(Silla royal capital). A number of excavations over the years have revealed temples such asHwangnyongsa,Bunhwangsa, Heungryunsa, and 30 other sites. Signs of Baekje's capitals have also been excavated at the Mongchon Fortress and thePungnap Fortressin Seoul.
