Yŏn Namsan
Yŏn Namsan (淵男産, 연남산; 639–701) was the third son of the Goguryeo military leader and dictator Yŏn Kaesomun (603?–665). The course of his career shadowed closely that of his elder brother Yŏn Namsaeng. From an early age he was appointed ''Sŏnin'' (), and rising through the ranks of ''sohyŏng'' (), ''taehyŏng'' () ''widu taehyŏng'' () and ''chunggun chuhwal'' () (all obscure Goguryeo ranks whose exact nature is unknown.) Following Yŏn Kaesomun's death around 666 Namsan joined forces with his elder brother Yŏn Namgŏn against their oldest brother Namsaeng, who ultimately fled to Tang China to seek its aid. However, upon the fall of Goguryeo in 668 Namsan submitted to the Tang. In the Tang dynasty, Namsan was accorded the office of Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Entertainments (Sizai shaoqing 司宰少卿). Following his death from illness he was buried along with his eldest brother in Luoyang. His tomb stele was later discovered in the Tang easte ...

Yŏn Kaesomun
Yŏn KaesomunSome Chinese and Korean sources stated that his surname was Yŏngae () and personal name was Somun (), but the majority of sources suggest a one-syllable surname and a three-syllable personal name. (; 594–666) was a powerful military dictator in the waning days of the Goguryeo kingdom, which was one of the Three Kingdoms of ancient Korea. He is remembered for his successful resistance against Tang China under Emperor Taizong and his son Emperor Gaozong. Traditional Korean histories from Joseon painted Yŏn Kaesomun as a despotic leader, whose cruel policies and disobedience to his monarch led to the fall of Goguryeo. Early Korean nationalist historians, most notably the 19th-century Korean historian and intellectual Shin Chae-ho, instead termed Yŏn Kaesomun the greatest hero in Korean history, inspired by his achievements in defending Goguryeo against Chinese onslaughts. In popular culture Yŏn Kaesomun is often remembered as an exceptional soldier-statesman wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

7th-century Korean People
The 7th century is the period from 601 through 700 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Christian Era. The spread of Islam and the Muslim conquests began with the unification of Arabia by the Islamic prophet Muhammad starting in 622. After Muhammad's death in 632, Islam expanded beyond the Arabian Peninsula under the Rashidun Caliphate (632–661) and the Umayyad Caliphate (661–750). The Muslim conquest of Persia in the 7th century led to the downfall of the Sasanian Empire. Also conquered during the 7th century were Syria, Palestine, Armenia, Egypt, and North Africa. The Byzantine Empire suffered setbacks during the rapid expansion of the Caliphate and a mass incursion of Slavs in the Balkans which reduced its territorial limits. The decisive victory at the Siege of Constantinople in the 670s led the empire to retain Asia Minor, which ensured the existence of the empire. In the Iberian Peninsula, the 7th century was known as the ''Siglo de Concilios'' (century o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
