In 1356 early experiments were carried out with gunpowder weapons that shot wood or metal projectiles. [146], Although Goryeo was founded by the military, its authority was in decline. During the Goryeo period, Seon thoroughly became a "religion of the state," receiving extensive support and privileges through connections with the ruling family and powerful members of the court. [169] Later, Goryeo entered nominal tributary relations with the Khitan Liao dynasty then the Jurchen Jin dynasty while maintaining trade and unofficial relations with the Song dynasty. [119] Meanwhile, Liao sought to build closer ties with Goryeo and prevent a Song–Goryeo military alliance by appealing to Goryeo's infatuation with Buddhism, and offered Liao Buddhist knowledge and artifacts to Goryeo. Accommodating themselves to mountain and valley, the people make do with them for their dwellings and food. King Gongmin began efforts to reform the Goryeo government and remove Mongolian influences.

It is from the name Koryŏ that the Western name Korea is derived. In 1388, General Yi Seong-gye was ordered to use his armies to push the Ming armies out of the Korean peninsula. Goryeo Korea, in contrast to Song China, was treated more like an Inner Asian power. [191] Jang married a Korean and became the founding ancestor of the Deoksu Jang clan. [125][126], There have been some academic attempts to reconstruct the Goguryeo words based on the fragments of toponyms, recorded in the Samguk sagi, of the areas once possessed by Goguryeo. [36] Haedong, meaning "East of the Sea", was a distinct and independent world that encompassed the historical domain of the "Samhan", another name for the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

The ceramics of Goryeo are considered by some to be the finest small-scale works of ceramics in Korean history. Despite the Imje influence, which was generally considered to be anti-scholarly in nature, Gyeonghan and Naong, under the influence of Jinul and the traditional tong bulgyo tendency, showed an unusual interest in scriptural study, as well as a strong understanding of Confucianism and Taoism, due to the increasing influence of Chinese philosophy as the foundation of official education. The Kingdoms were once seven independent regions at the time of the arrival of Aegon the Conqueror. Paintings of mythical beasts exist in Goguryeo king tombs today. Ji'an is also home to a large collection of Goguryeo era tombs, including what Chinese scholars consider to be the tombs of Gwanggaeto and his son Jangsu, as well as perhaps the best-known Goguryeo artifact, the Gwanggaeto Stele, which is one of the primary sources for pre-5th-century Goguryeo history. The culture of Goguryeo was shaped by its climate, religion, and the tense society that people dealt with due to the numerous wars Goguryeo waged.

[13], The once prosperous kingdom of Later Silla, which had ruled much of the Korean Peninsula since the late 7th century, began crumbling by the late 9th century because of internal turmoil, leading to the revival of the ancient states of Baekje and Goguryeo, known in historiography as "Later Baekje" and "Later Goguryeo". The Goryeo Dynasty ruled in Korea from 918 to 1392. A significant historical event of the Goryeo period is the production of the first woodblock edition of the Tripitaka, called the Tripitaka Koreana. [32], [U]ntil 1270, when Koryŏ capitulated to the Mongols after thirty years of resistance, early Koryŏ rulers and most of its officials had held a "pluralist" (tawŏnjŏk) outlook that recognized greater and equal empires in China and in Manchuria, while positing Koryŏ as the center of a separate and bounded world ruled by the Koryŏ emperor, who claimed a ritual status reserved for the Son of Heaven. In 643, under pressure from the Goguryeo–Baekje alliance, Silla requested military aid from Tang. The phoenix and dragon were both worshipped, while the Samjogo, the three-legged crow that represented the sun, was considered the most powerful of the three.

According to Goryeosa, Muslims arrived in the peninsula in the year 1024 in the Goryeo kingdom,[185] a group of some 100 Muslims, including Hasan Raza, came in September of the 15th year of Hyeonjong of Goryeo and another group of 100 Muslim merchants came the following year. In 918, Goryeo was founded as the successor to Goguryeo and inherited its name. [15][16], The Goryeo period was the "golden age of Buddhism" in Korea,[17] and as the national religion, Buddhism achieved its highest level of influence in Korean history, with 70 temples in the capital alone in the 11th century. The name "Goryeo" (Korean: 고려; Hanja: 高麗; MR: Koryŏ), which is the source of the name "Korea", was originally used by Goguryeo (Korean: 고구려; Hanja: 高句麗; MR: Koguryŏ) of the Three Kingdoms of Korea beginning in the early 5th century. In the end, he became indifferent to politics and entrusted that great task to the Buddhist monk Shin Don. Beginning in 1170, the government of Goryeo was de facto controlled by a succession of powerful families from the warrior class, most notably the Choe family, in a military dictatorship akin to a shogunate. Ditches and ground walls between the shores formed an extra defense line. Indeed, in the area surrounding Kaesong, Soju is known as Arak-ju (hangul: 아락주).

[34], Generally, Taejodae allowed the conquered tribes to retain their chieftains, but required them to report to governors who were related to Goguryeo's royal line; tribes under Goguryeo's jurisdiction were expected to provide heavy tribute. The same is true of the descendants of another Central Asian who settled down in Korea.

The 613 and 614 campaigns were aborted after launch—the 613 campaign was terminated when the Sui general Yang Xuangan rebelled against Emperor Yang, while the 614 campaign was terminated after Goguryeo offered a truce and returned Husi Zheng (斛斯政), a defecting Sui general who had fled to Goguryeo, Emperor Yang later had Husi executed. Mongols had annexed the northern provinces of Goryeo after the invasions and incorporated them into their empire as the Ssangseong and Dongnyeong Prefectures. [78] Taejo displayed strong animosity toward the Khitans who had destroyed Balhae. Some Muslim Hui people from China also appear to have lived in the Goryeo kingdom.[186]. "Koryo" would later evolve into the modern name "Korea." [30] In 1388, Yi Seong-gye was sent to invade the Ming dynasty at Liaodong, but he turned his forces around and defeated Choe Yeong in a coup d'état; in 1392, he replaced Goryeo with the new state of Joseon, bringing an end to 474 years of Goryeo rule on the Korean Peninsula.
