There are also a couple wordlists, one of only around 350 words and another just under 600 words, dating from the 12th and 15th centuries respectively. In the Samguk Sagi 三國史記, the record of the Three Kingdoms (not to be confused with the Chinese Sānguó Zhì 三國志), there are about a hundred place names that show up. For this reason it’s difficult to say much about it with much certainty. The biggest problem with trying to analyse the language of the Three Kingdoms period, what’s known as Old Korean (analogous to Old Chinese, Old English etc), is that there’s very little information available to us. Korean terms are all transcribed in the Revised Romanization system. If you don’t see accent marks above vowels, you can assume it’s Korean, not Chinese, even though I’ve tried to include Chinese characters throughout. To help make it clear if I’m talking about a Korean source or a Chinese one, Chinese names have been romanised in pinyin with tone marks. Just to clear up any confusion, below I mention both the Korean Samguk Sagi 三國史記 and the Sānguó Zhì 三國志. Great question! I can only address the language aspects, but hopefully that’s still helpful. Thankyou for reading and hope you can help. prominent peoples (kings, lords, generals, admirals, diplomats)Īll and all, I'm really only asking for resources that can give me a better understanding of the period.military statistics (standing armies, levy capacities, battles).demographics (religion, ethnicity, culture and language groups).The prominent settlements in the area.What was Silla’s strong point that made them such a threat? Did the other 2 just ignore them for so long that they were allowed to grow too strong? How did Gaya fit into all this? How were they able to exist whilst so many other confederacies of the time were subjugated by the kingdoms? I understand that Goguyeo was the largest in size, but did it have the most people in it as well? Was it an ethnic and linguistic melting pot in Korea at the time? Bakjae appears to be the soft power center of Korea but a lot of what I read made them appear militarily inferior to both Silla and Goguyeo. If you could give me names of books, blogs, journal articles, news articles, documentaries, youtube sources and anything else that can shed more light on this period for me it would be super swell. I've already browsed google, wikipedia and some other readily available online sources but I think I need a lot more to help me along with my research. I have so many questions and sources I could find so far are either in Korean or yield very little significant information.
Of course this can change with any new dramas set before the founding of Goguryeo (ie, the founding of Silla).Hello, so I recently got into the Korean Three Kingdoms period and I’m so hooked on everything and I'm hoping to learn about anything and everything I can relating to this period. Note: Based on the dramas that have been made in recent date (i.e.
So now with this quick overview, you can see why Jumong is a considered the starting point of historical Korean dramas. It was topped off in 18 AD with the founding of Baekje by Jumong’s wife, Soseono and her sons. Fast forward to 57 BC, when the Kingdom of Silla (aka: Shilla) was founded by Bak HyeokGuhSeh ( Bak Hyeokgeose) 박혁거세. However the Three Kingdom party didn’t really get started until 37 BC with the founding of Goguryeo, by Jumong, who managed to bring together some of the dispersed tribes of GoJoseon and recapture some of the lost territory by driving out the Han. The area of GoJoseon, became overrun by the Han who set up military c ommanderies to keep the people of GoJoseon at bay. eventually fell to the Han (China) in 108 BC, after which the people of GoJoseon split off into various tribes and mini kingdoms throughout present day Manchuria and the Korean peninsula. The first kingdom was known as GoJoseon 고조선 which was founded in 2333 BC by Dangun 당근. Korea had been around for thousands of years.

The full geographic scope was from present day Manchuria to the southern tip of the Korean peninsula. During this time period, there was a fourth kingdom in the south, Gaya (가야) that also flourished. The specific years of what is referred to as “Three Kingdoms Period” (한국의 삼국 시대) took place from circa 57 BC to 668 AD when Korea was divided into three different kingdoms, Silla (신라), Goguryeo (고구려), Baekje (백제).
