Wiman Joseon

Wiman Joseon (194-108 a. C.) es un período de la historia de Corea, que corresponde con el gobierno de una dinastía en Gojoseon, nombrado así por la fuerte influencia de Wiman, un general coreano. El período comenzó con la toma del trono por parte de Wiman del rey Jun de Gojoseon y terminó con la muerte del rey Ugeo, que era nieto de Wiman. Además de los datos arqueológicos, la fuente principal en este período de la historia de Corea proviene del capítulo 115 del Shi ji, obra del historiador de la Antigua China Sima Qian (también conocido como Memorias históricas).^[1]​ Wiman era originalmente un líder militar del Estado Yan bajo la dinastía Han.^[2]​^[3]​^[4]​^[5]​^[6]​

2. ↑ Peterson y Margulies, 2009, p. 6. : "The term was used again by a refugee from the Han dynasty named Wiman, who about 200 B.C.E. set up a kingdom in Korea called Wiman Choson."
3. ↑ Cotterell, 2011, Imperial Crisis: The Failure of the Later Han. : "The earliest documented event in Korean history involves China. After an unsuccessful rising against the first Han emperor Gaozu, the defeated rebels sought refuge beyond the imperial frontier and one of them Wiman, took control of Choson, a Korean state in the north of the peninsula."
4. ↑ Kim, 2012, p. 10. : "For instance, Wiman, a refugee from the Yan dynasty, which then existed around present-day Beijing, led his band of more than 1,000 followers into exile in Old Chosŏn in the early second century bc."
5. ↑ Tennant, 1996, p. 18. : "Retaliation by the Han then brought in refugees from Yan, the most notable of whom was a war lord, Weiman ('Wiman'in Korean), who somewhere about 200 BC led his followers into the territory held by Choson."
6. ↑ Xu, 2007, p. 220. : "Here, Wiman was described as a "Gu Yanren 故燕人"or a person from former Yan. It is confusing because there were two Yans around this period. The first was the Yan state, which was one of the seven states during the Warring States period, and the second was the vassal state of Yan of the Han dynasty."
