Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Legends and origins of Korea's Three Kingdoms -- Koguryŏ and Paekche -- Greater Silla and Parhae -- The fluorishing of Buddhism and Confucianism in Greater Silla -- The good, the bad and the ugly in the later Three Kingdoms "Korea's Three Kingdoms period is a genuine 'lost civilization', during which ancient realms vied for supremacy during the first millennium CE. Nobles from this periods feuding states adopted and adapted Buddhism and Confucianism through interactions with early medieval Chinese dynasties. In the mid-seventh century, with the assistance of the mighty Chinese Tang empire, the aristocratic Silla state ultimately unified the Three Kingdoms by conquering the militaristic northern kingdom of Koguryŏ and the culturally sophisticated state of Paekche. Weaving together legends of founding kings, tales of wars and political intrigue and narratives of fascinating individuals--including flower boys, wise monks, loyal scholars and virtuous women--this exploration sheds new light on a foundational period that continues to shape Korean identity today."--Jacket |
