Gojoseon (Ancient Choson) - early-education laid the foundation for the formation of several States, when mentioning that there is an association with the name "Korea."The history of this once united, now divided into two parts of the country has millennium.The exact time of the appearance of the first states to set hard.Gojoseon mentioned in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" ("SGYS") - historical work of a Buddhist monk named Irёn in which the ancient history of Korea is presented in the form of a collection of legends, fairy tales, and biographies.A text drawn up in the Chinese language in the XIII century, includes the legend of Tangun, the founder of the first Korean kingdom.Tangun Wang, one of the most popular characters of the national mythology, was the grandson of the Lord of Heaven Hvanina.The history of his birth.Hwanung, the son of the king of heaven, and three thousand of his followers were sent to the Earth, or rather, the highest mountain on the Korean peninsula with the name of Baekdu, which is inconceivable without mentioning the ancient Korea.This mountain, located on the border between North Korea and China, and today the inhabitants of both countries is considered sacred.Here, according to "SGYS" Hvanum founded the city of God Sins, invented laws established the necessary departments and started teaching people crafts, agriculture and medicine.The tiger and the bear, who lived nearby, turned to Hvanumu with a request to give them a human face.God's son suggested beasts to pass the test: hold in a cave without sunlight 100 days, eating with only garlic and wormwood.The tiger gave up, and bear all did as Hvanum said, and was rewarded: she turned to the woman and gave birth to his master's son - Tangun Wang.
Ancient Chosun is the subject of scientific debate.According to legend, the history of Korea begins with the founding of the ancient Korean kingdom in 2333 BC.e., with which modern scholars do not agree, since the first mention of Gojoseon appear in written sources IV - III centuries BC.e.
with confirmed facts about the union of tribes who lived in ancient times in the territory of the Korean Peninsula and parts of the Liaodong Peninsula.Here there were city-states, each with its own management.The people of this country to grow crops, bred horses and knew how to create bronze, and later - and of iron, is not inferior to the Chinese models belonging to the same period.Around the IV.BC.e.Gojoseon turned into a centralized state.The political history of Korea includes information on long-term relationship of the ancient Korean state and its neighboring kingdom of Yan China, whose rulers have repeatedly drawn the gaze to the east and sought rejection Gojoseon territories.In 108 BC.e.Gojoseon had conquered the Han Chinese Empire, causing the Korean tribes were on the lower, compared to the lifetime of the tribal alliance, the stage of political organization.Only at the beginning of the Christian era on the peninsula appeared again early Korean states.
ancient history of Korea - a fascinating story about the people already in the Bronze Age who had early-education with hereditary monarchical power and the rudimentary forms of management personnel.
