EspañolKING DONGMYEONG OF GOGURYEO
(Redirected from Jumong)
King 'Dongmyeong of Goguryeo' (58 - 19 BCE, r. 37 – 19 BCE),"Dongmyeongseongwong"(東明聖王) or "Dongmyeongwong"(東明王) also known by his birth name 'Jumong' (주몽, 朱蒙), was the founding monarch of Goguryeo, the northernmost of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. In the Gwanggaeto Stele, he is called Chumo-wang (King Chumo). In the Samguk Sagi and the Samguk Yusa, he is recorded as Jumong, with the surname Go. The Samguk Sagi states that he was also known as Chumo or Sanghae (상해, 象解). The name is also transcribed in other records as Chumong (추몽, 鄒蒙), Jungmo (중모, 中牟 or 仲牟), or Domo (도모, 都牟).
The founding myth of Goguryeo are related in ancient Korean texts, including the Gwanggaeto stele. The best known version is found, with slight variations, in the ''Samguk Sagi'', ''Samguk Yusa'', and the ''Dongmyeongwangpyeon'' of the ''Dongguk Isanggukjip''.
Jumong is described as the son of Hae Mosu (解慕漱：the son of heaven) and Yuhwa (柳花：daughter of the river god Habaek (河伯)). Hae Mosu met Yuhwa by a river where she was bathing, but the river god disapproved of Hae Mosu, who returned to heaven. The river god chased Yuhwa away to Ubalsu(優渤水), where she met and became the concubine of King Geumwa of Dongbuyeo.
Yuwha was impregnated by sunlight and gave birth to an egg. Geumwa tried to destroy the egg, and tried to feed it to animals, who instead protected the egg from harm. Geumwa returned it to Yuhwa. From the egg hatched a baby boy, who was named Jumong, meaning "skilled archer" in korean.
Jumong was known for his exceptional skill at archery. Eventually, Geumwa's sons became jealous of him, and Jumong was forced to leave Dongbuyeo. According to legend, as he fled on his horse, he approached a fast-running river. Turtles and creatures of the water rose up and formed a bridge. When he entered the land south of the river, he was greeted by Go Museo Dangun, who was the ruler of Jolbon, which was Bukbuyeo under a changed state-name. Go Museo knew that Jumong was not an ordinary man and gave his daughter So Seo-No in marriage. After the death of his father-in-law in 37 BC, Jumong became the 7th Dangun of Bukbuyeo, and reunited all of the five tribes of Jolbon into one centralized kingdom.
In 37 BC, Jumong established Goguryeo, and became its first Taewang ("Supreme King").
During the same year, Jumong died at the age of 40. Crown Prince Yuri buried his father in a pyramid tomb, and gave him the posthumous name of Chumo-Seong wang
Jumong's kingdom of Goguryeo eventually grew into a great regional power. Goguryeo stood for 705 years and was ruled by a total of 28 kings in the Go Royal Family until it was conquered by the Silla-Tang alliance. Balhae and Goryeo succeeded it, and the modern descendants of Jumong still bear his family name "Go."
In 2006-2007, the South Korean television network MBC aired a highly popular 81-episode drama, Jumong.
