Introduction
- Goguryeo, a Powerful State in Ancient Northeast Asia
- Goguryeo was founded by Jumong, a native of Buyeo. Goguryeo developed into a powerful state through competition with multiple neighboring countries. Maintaining frequent contact with foreign countries from early on, Goguryeo’s culture was both international and unique. It was the first of the Three Kingdoms to adopt Buddhism via the Chinese mainland. Goguryeo’s tomb murals, which beautifully and vividly capture the daily lives and ideas of the Goguryeo people, are a testament to its culture. With its diversity, openness, and cosmopolitanism, Goguryeo’s culture influenced Baekje, Silla, Gaya, and Wa (Ancient Japan), and was passed on to Balhae.
