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.

“It has often been argued that absolute scepticism is self-contradictory; but this is a mistake: and even if it were not so, it would be no argument against the absolute sceptic, inasmuch as he does not admit that no contradictory propositions are true. Indeed, it would be impossible to move such a man, for his scepticism consists in considering every argument and never deciding upon its validity; he would, therefore, act in this way in reference to the arguments brought against him.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“There is a close tie of affection between sovereigns and their subjects; and as chaste wives should have no eyes but for their husbands, so faithful liegemen should keep their regards at home and not look after foreign crowns. For my part I like not for my sheep to wear a stranger’s mark nor to dance after a foreigner’s whistle.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“I find it more credible, since it is anterior information, that one man should know heaven, as the Chinese say, than that so many men should know the world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
