Abstract
According to the Samguk sagi(三國史記, History of Three Kingdoms) and Samguk yusa(三國遺事, Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms), Koguryŏ was founded by Chu Mong in 37 BC.1 Koguryŏ was originally founded in the Hwanin(Huanren) area of China. The capital was established in the basin of a river called the Cholbonch΄ŏn or Piryusu. Despite the fact that he never even constructed a royal palace, Chu Mong, who had escaped from Puyŏ and resettled in the Cholbon area, was elevated to the status of founder of Koguryŏ and received the title of King Tongmyŏngsŏng(Tongmyŏngsŏng wang; r. 37 BC~19 BC). According to the Samguk saki, Koguryŏ was able to expand its territory during the reigns of the Tongmyŏngsŏng wang and King Yurimyŏng(r. BC 19~AD 18) by subjugating smaller neighboring polities such as the Malgal(Mohe; 靺鞨), Piryu(沸流國), Haengin(荇人國), and North Okchŏ(北沃沮).
