Buyeo (state)
Encyclopedia
Buyeo or Puyŏ Fuyu in Chinese
, was an ancient Korean kingdom located from today's Manchuria
to northern North Korea
, from around the 2nd century BC to 494. Its remnants were absorbed by the neighboring and brotherhood kingdom of Goguryeo
in 494. Both Goguryeo and Baekje
, two of the Three Kingdoms of Korea
, considered themselves its successor nation.
Although records are sparse and contradictory, it is speculated that in 86 BCE, Dongbuyeo
(Eastern Buyeo) branched out, after which the original Buyeo is sometimes referred to as Bukbuyeo (Northern Buyeo). Jolbon Buyeo
was a small tribal state situated in north of the Korean peninsula and Manchuria. In 538, long after the fall of Buyeo, Baekje renamed itself Nambuyeo (Southern Buyeo).
"Buyeo" may also refer to a Baekje
surname or Buyeo County

. After its foundation, Hae Mosu (解慕漱：the son of heaven) brought the royal court to his new palace, and they proclaimed him King. Hae Mosu called his new kingdom "Buyeo" to show that he was the true successor to the Kings of Buyeo. Generally, This Buyeo is often known as "Bukbuyeo" (Northern Buyeo).
Jumong is described as the son of Hae Mosu and Yuhwa
(柳花), who was a daughter of the Habaek (河伯).
, a Chinese warlord in Liaodong, supported Buyeo to counter Xianbei
in the north and Goguryeo in the east. After destroying the Gongsun family
, the northern Chinese state of Cao Wei
sent Guanqiu Jian
to attack Goguryeo
. A squad of the expeditionary force led by Wang Qi (王頎), the Grand Administrator of the Xuantu commandery, was welcomed by Buyeo. It brought detailed information of the kingdom to China.
After that, Buyeo was torn between big powers, and ravaged during the waves of movement of northern nomadic peoples into China. In 285 the Murong tribe of the Xianbei, led by Murong Hui
, invaded Buyeo, pushing King Uiryeo (依慮) to suicide, and forcing the relocation of the court to Okjeo
. Considering its friendly relationship with Jin Dynasty
, Emperor Wu helped King Uira (依羅) revive Buyeo.
Goguryeo's attack sometime before 347 caused further decline. Having lost its stronghold near Harbin, Buyeo moved southwestward to Nong'an. Around 347, Buyeo was attacked by Murong Huang
of the Former Yan
, and King Hyeon (玄) was captured.
area under the influence of Goguryeo. Buyeo paid tribute once to Northern Wei
in 457, but otherwise seems to have been controlled by Goguryeo. In 494, Buyeo were under attack by the rising Wuji (also known as the Mohe, 勿吉, 물길), and the Buyeo court moved and surrendered to Goguryeo.
and other accounts, the kingdom of Dongbuyeo
(86 BCE – 22 CE) branched out to the east of Bukbuyeo, near the land of Okjeo
. Bukbuyeo's King died, and his brother Hae Buru succeeded him and became the king of Bukbuyeo.
Hae Buru found a golden frog-like child under a large rock. Hae Buru named the child Geumwa, meaning golden frog, and later made him crown prince.
Geumwa became king after Hae Buru's death. Geumwa met Yuhwa
, the daughter of Habaek, and brought her back to his palace. She was said to have been impregnated by sunlight and to have laid a golden egg. Geumwa made many attempts to destroy the egg, but failed, and returned the egg to Yuhwa. From the egg hatched Jumong, who later founded the kingdom of Goguryeo
. Jumong later fled to Jolbon Buyeo after numerous assassination attempts by the seven sons of King Geumwa.
Geumwa's eldest son Daeso
became the next king. Daeso attacked Goguryeo
during the reign of its second King Yuri
. Goguryeo's third king Daemusin
attacked Dongbuyeo and killed Daeso. After internal strife, Dongbuyeo fell, and its territory was absorbed into Goguryeo.
Contrarily, Gwanggaeto stele
mentioned Dongbuyeo as a vassal state
of Goguryeo, even long after its destruction. Since the chronology is inconsistent with the Samguk Sagi
, the Dongbuyeo mentioned in the stele is widely speculated by historians to have been a revival movement of Dongbuyeo, formed around 285.

The Buyeo language itself is unknown except for a small number of words, but thought to have been similar to languages of Gojoseon

and Eastern Okjeo
.
historian Jin Yufu developed a linear model of descent for the people of Manchuria and northern Korea, from the kingdoms of Buyeo, Goguryeo
, and Baekje
, to the present Korean nationality. Later historians of Northeast China built upon this influential model. However, Chinese histories, both ancient and modern, always tend to minimize the accomplishments/contributions of surrounding 'Barbarian' kingdoms. This can be seen in modern Manchuria, where archaeological sites that involve activities by Goguryeo are closed to access by Korean scholars, in the same way that 4th-6th Iron-age 'Imperial' tombs in Japan, that would settle the question of the impact of Baekje on early Japanese history, are closed to excavation.
Goguryeo
and Baekje
, two of the Three Kingdoms of Korea
, considered themselves successors of Buyeo. King Onjo
, the founder of Baekje, is said to have been a son of King Dongmyeongseong
, founder of Goguryeo. Baekje officially changed its name to Nambuyeo (남부여, 南夫餘 "South Buyeo") in 538.
