Abstract
Abstract Goguryeo played an extremely important role in the cultural world of Northeast Asia because of its significance as the first state there to emerge as a monarchical state on the Chinese model, and because of its dissemination of Chinese ideas and institutions to the southern part of Korea and Japan between the 4th and 7th centuries. Initially Goguryeo was tied to the Xuantu commandery, established by Han China, but gradually they not only succeeded in driving out Chinese colonists from the Korean peninsula but also engaged in relentless struggle against Chinese domination in the northeast. Soon after acceptance of Buddhism and Confucianism in 372 ce Goguryeo systematized its state structure. The state reached the acme of territorial expansion during the reign of King Gwanggaeto (Expander of Domain) in the 4th century, but in the following centuries its political development was constrained by internal feud. Finally, it fell to the joint Silla‐Tang forces in 668.
