Arguments For Goguryeo Being A Part of Chinese History
Among the arguments that some Chinese scholars use for its claims on Goguryeo:
- Goguryeo was founded from Han Chinese commandaries such as Xuantu (in Chinese territory).
- Goguryeo kings accepted a tributary relation with Chinese dynasties.
- Goguryeo was founded by the Mohe (Malgal) peoples, an ancestor of modern day Manchurians, who ruled China's last dynasty;
- Goguryeo was established in Northeast China, and that two-thirds of its territory was in present day China
- Goguryeo actively sought a tributary relationship with successive Chinese empires. This relationship is supported by international scholars;
- That after the end of Goguryeo, some of its people were assimilated into Han and other ethnicities of China;
- That some remains of the tombs purported to be of Goguryeo in Ji’an are not Goguryeo’s but are those of the Han or Xianbei (Sonbi) ethnicities of China.

“Compared to football, baseball is almost an Oriental game, minimizing individual stardom, requiring a wide range of aggressive and defensive skills, and filled with long periods of inaction and irresolution. It has no time limitations. Football, on the other hand, has immediate goals, resolution on every single play, and a lot of violence—itself a highlight. It has clearly distinguishable hierarchies: heroes and drones.”
—Jerry Mander, U.S. advertising executive, author. Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, ch. 15, Morrow (1978)

The one is a fact as well as the other. Why then, if you use legal arguments in the one case, you don’t in the other?”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
