King Munja of Goguryeo (died 519) (r. 491–519) was the 21st monarch of Goguryeo, the northernmost of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He was the grandson of King Jangsu (413–491). Though Munja's father Gochudaega Joda () had been named Crown Prince by King Jangsu, Joda died before assuming the throne. By the time Munja assumed the throne in 491, Goguryeo had relocated its capital from the area around modern Ji'an along the upper Yalu River to Pyongyang (the modern capital of North Korea). This move came in the context of heightened rivalries with the other two of the Three Kingdoms, the then-allied Silla and Baekje. Munja nurtured close relations with the various petty Chinese dynasties that had emerged following the fall of Han China, notably the Northern Wei (to whom he sent monthly tributes), Southern Qi, and Liang dynasty, accepting feudal titles from them, while continuing a policy of aggressive confrontation with both Baekje and Silla to its south. The 12th century Korean history the ''Samguk Sagi'' relates that the remnants of the Buyeo kingdom submitted to Goguryeo in 494 after their defeat by the Mohe people. By the early 6th century Goguryeo under Munjamyeong was feeling the pressure of Mohe, Silla and Baekje aggression. In 498, he constructed the Buddhist temple Geumgangsa. Munjamyeong was succeeded by his eldest son Anjang of Goguryeo. ==See also== *List of Korea-related topics *History of Korea *Three Kingdoms of Korea *List of Korean monarchs 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Munjamyeong of Goguryeo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
