Please teach the specific history of Wang Jian Goryeo

The following is an allusion to the life of Wang Jian~

Jian (about 767-831) was a native of Yingchuan (present-day Xuchang, Henan Province). His family was poor, and he had been in the army for thirteen years, living in his hometown and worrying about food and clothing all day long. After he was forty years old, he became a bureaucrat with white hair and sank into the bureaucracy, serving as a county chancellor and secretary of state, and was known as Wang Sima (王司马). He was known as Wang Sima (王司马). He wrote a lot of music, sympathized with the people's suffering, and Zhang Ji. He also wrote a hundred palace lyrics, in addition to the traditional palace complaints, but also widely depicted the palace scenery, is an important material for the study of the Tang dynasty court life. He wrote some small lyrics, unique, "laughing order", originally entitled "laughing in the palace", it can be seen that this is specifically for the king to joke, but Wang Jian used to write the palace women's grief: "fan, fan, beauty and come to cover the face. The jade face has been emaciated for three years, who will discuss the strings and pipes again? Strings and pipes, strings and pipes, spring grass Zhaoyang road break." The last sentence is so decisive that the feeling of keeping watch jumps out on the paper. Another example is "Three Stations in Jiangnan": "The little woman by the pool in Yangzhou and the businessman in Changgan City. I have not heard from them for three years, and they all worship the ghosts and pray to the gods." Purely white description, a different kind of interest.

Tang Dynasty poet.

The Tang Dynasty poet, who had a poor family background, left home at an early age to live in the countryside of Weizhou, and at the age of about 20, he met Zhang Ji, and began to write poems of musical composition together with his teacher. In the 13th year of Zhenyuan (797), he left his family to join the army, and traveled to Youzhou in the north and Jingzhou in the south, writing poems on the theme of border wars and military life. After thirteen years of military service ("Farewell to Yang Xishu"), he left the army and lived in the countryside of Xianyang, where he spent his days worrying about food and clothing ("Thirteen Poems on the New Dwelling on the Plain"). Around the eighth year of Yuanhe (813), he was appointed as the prime minister of Zhaoying County (昭应县丞) after he became a mandarin (《初到昭应呈同僚》). In the first year of Changqing (821), he moved to be the head of the Taifu Temple, and was transferred to the Secretary Lang. When he was in Chang'an, he had dealings with Zhang Ji, Han Yu, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi and Yang Juyuan. At the beginning of the Daho period, he was moved to the position of Minister of the Taishang Temple. Around the third year of Daho (829), he was appointed as the Secretary of Shaanzhou. He was called Wang Sima. In the fifth year of the Daho era, he was the assassin of Guangzhou (the seat of which is in present-day Ducheon, Henan Province), and Jia Dao went to see him and presented him with a poem. Since then, his behavior is unknown.

Wang Jian was a lowly bureaucrat who lived in poverty, so he had the opportunity to get in touch with the social reality and understand the people's suffering, and wrote a large number of excellent lefu poems. His poems are known as "Zhang Wang Lefu" (张王乐府), which is the same as Zhang Ji's. His poems cover a wide range of subjects, and he is also known for his poetry. His poems have a wide range of subjects, a strong flavor of life, profound thoughts, and clear-cut love and hatred. For example, "The Journey to the Field", "The Rhetoric of Silkworms", "Weaving at the Window", "The Song of Weaving Brocade", "The Word of Promoting Prick", "Going to the Woman", "Ballad of the Waterman", "Ballad of the Sea Man", etc., which reflect the painful life of the laboring people subjected to the brutal exploitation and oppression, and especially sympathize with the miserable situation of the laboring women; "The Songs of Baigu", "The Journey of the Feathered Forests", "The Journey of the Shooting Tiger", etc., which reveal the dark social reality of the monarchs' desolateness, the ferociousness of the powerful, the mixed wars of the clans and towns; "The Old Military". The Ancient Army, Liaodong Xing, Crossing Liao Shui, and Liangzhou Xing attacked the border war which brought disaster to the people, and also condemned the incompetence of the border generals who didn't know how to recover the lost land, which demonstrated the progressive stance of opposing militarism and lamenting the loss of the country. In addition, he also has some works, such as "Sai Shen Qu" and "Leaving Guests at the Field House", which depict the rural customs and life images; "Sending Far Away Qu" and "Mirror Listening Words", which express the women's nostalgia for their loved ones who have traveled far away from their homes; and "Looking at the Husband's Stone" and "Words of the Jingwei", which glorify the spirit of steadfast love and the struggle of the oppressed. There are also a few works that reveal negative feelings about the impermanence of life, old age and poverty.

Wang Jian's poems were good at choosing typical characters, events and environments in life and summarizing them artistically to reflect the reality and reveal contradictions in a focused and graphic way. He seldom made arguments in his poems, but used the techniques of picaresque, white description, comparison and contrast to reproduce the reality through various images or characters' confessions; or used heavy strokes to highlight the theme at the end and ended the poem abruptly. The writing is concise and craggy, and the tone is implicit, with meaning beyond words. The genre is mostly seven-syllable songs and lines, and the length is relatively short. The language is clear and concise, rich in the color of folk songs and proverbs. The rhymes are uneven, often changing rhymes in two or four stanzas, and the rhythm is short and vigorous. These features formed the unique artistic style of Wang Jian's music poems.

Wang Jian is also known for his Palace Lyrics. His "Palace Lyrics," a hundred songs, breaks through the stereotype of the previous writers to write about the palace grievances, and extensively depicts the palace palace buildings, morning rituals, festivals and scenery, as well as the king's pleasure trips, the songs and dances of the Kabuki musicians, the life of the courtesans and all kinds of palace minutiae, as if it were a picture of customs, which is an important material for the study of the Tang Dynasty's life in the palace. Ouyang Xiu's "Sixth Poetry" once pointed out that its content "mostly talks about the things in the Tang Palace, all of which are not contained in the historical novels". The depiction in the poem is also vivid, so it was widely spread and imitated. Wei Qingzhi's "Poets' Jade Scraps" cited the "Old Poems of Tang Wang Jian's Palace Lyrics", which said that in later times, "although there were several families that followed this style, Jian was the ancestor of them". Wang Jian's five or seven words in close proximity to the body, some of the garrison and banishment, travel and separation, living in seclusion, because of real life experience, can also "move the mind, to say that people can not say" (Tang Talent Biography). However, these poems are often characterized by negative and decadent thoughts, and their art lacks distinctive features. His stanzas, on the other hand, are fresh and simple, and many of them can be recited. He also wrote the small orders of "Three Stages in the Palace" and "Three Stages in Jiangnan", and was one of the most important authors of the Middle Tang literati's lyrics.

WANG JIAN (847-918) The founder of the former state of Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Former Gaozu of Shu. Word Guangtu. He was a native of Xiangcheng, Chenzhou (present-day Shenqiu, Henan), and a native of Maoyang, Xuzhou (present-day western Maoyang, Henan). When he was young, he made a living by slaughtering cows, stealing donkeys and selling salt, and later joined the Zhongwu Army (Xuzhou, present-day Xuchang, Henan). Xizong fled to Chengdu to avoid Huang Chao's army, Wang Jian and other five heads of the army into Shu, was called to follow the driving five, under the command of the eunuch Tian Lingzi. Tian Lingzi, a eunuch, recognized him as his adopted son. Later, he became a member of the Divine Policy Army. The eunuch Yang Fugong, who was in charge of the forbidden army, suspected Wang Jian, and made him the assassin of Pizhou (i.e. Lizhou). Wang Jian recruited Xidong chieftains and organized a group of 800 men, gradually expanding his territory and occupying the western and southern prefectures of Chengdu. In the second year of Dashun (891), he captured Chengdu. In the fourth year of Qianning (897), he broke Zizhou (the seat of Dongchuan Seducer) and took possession of the east and west rivers. In the second year of Tianfu (902), he took the western province of Shannan. In the third year, Tang appointed Wang Jian as the King of Shu. With Hanzhong in the north and the Three Gorges in the east, Wang Jian was able to establish a solid foundation for his domination of Shu. In the first year of Kaiping of Later Liang (907), he claimed the title of Emperor in Chengdu, and the state was called Shu, which was known as the Former Shu. In the second year of Wucheng (909), Wang Jian promulgated the Yongchang Calendar. In the first year of Tianhan (917), the state name was changed to Han. In the following year, it was renamed Shu. At that time, the war in the Central Plains, the scribes ran to Shu, Wang Jian did not know the book and liked to talk with the scribes. There were no large-scale wars after the establishment of the former Shu, and the people were able to continue their production.

Recovering 3000 kilometers of rivers and mountains, King Taejo Wang Jian of Goryeo

Early in the ninth century A.D., the Silla Dynasty, which had already been established for more than 900 years, saw the decline of its royal power. As the Tang Dynasty declined after the An Shi Rebellion, Silla's rule was also in crisis.

After the "Bongbok Rebellion", the Silla Dynasty finally declined after a period of prosperity in the center of the Silla Dynasty, Gimju, in 880 A.D., in which there was a return of "no straw house in the city". In 887, the 51st Queen Jeongseong assumed the throne, and by this time, the central government's control over the localities was already very weak.

Similar to the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the Peasants' Rebellion began with the revolts of Yuanzong and Miannu, and the local powerful clans took advantage of the situation to call themselves generals and lords of the city, and set up independent authorities based on the force of arms, so that the Silla royal domains were being constantly eroded, and finally became equivalent to a local authority centered in Gimju.

In the annexation war of the weak and the strong, Yan Xuan and Bowman stood out and cut off the other forces to share the world with Silla. Zhen Xuan, a farmer from Sangju, started out as a soldier. He started out as a foot soldier, but was later promoted to general by the Silla court due to his accumulated war achievements. He built up his strength in the southwestern coast of the Korean Peninsula and prepared to raise an army. In the sixth year of the reign of Queen Jeansung (892 A.D.), Yan Xuan took advantage of the peasant revolt and gathered a group of outlaws and attacked Mujinju (Gwangju, Jeollanam-do), and then established himself in Wonsanju (Jeonju, Jeonbuk-do), and he was initially known as "ruler of the western side of the Silla Dynasty who commanded the military and horse control, held a section to oversee the military of Jeonmugong, and other states, and was also an assassin of Jeonju as well as a minister of the royal court, and was also known as "Sangju," or the founding father of Hanam-gun. In 900 A.D., he was proclaimed king. He claimed that he wanted to revive Baekje, which had been destroyed by Silla, and he named his state Baekje, which is called Later Baekje.

Bowman, at the beginning of his rise to power in 899 A.D., claimed to be from the royal family of Silla, and was the common son of King Xiankang. In the fifth year of King Hyogong's reign (901 A.D.), Bongseo renounced the orthodoxy, established a capital at Kaesong and claimed to be the king, claiming to revitalize Goguryeo, and established the state name Goguryeo, which was called Later Goguryeo. In 904 AD, he changed the name of the state to Mozhen and established the Yuan Dynasty alone. In 905 AD, the capital was moved to Cheolwon (Cheolwon County, Gangwon Province), and the state name was changed to Taebong. He then launched a fierce attack on Silla and marched to the north, and even attacked the back of Baekje from the sea, and was invincible and unstoppable at one time. However, there was no flavor of benevolence in the rule of the Bowmen. He tried to kill all the Silla people because he hated Silla. He used Buddhism to maintain his rule. He called himself Maitreya Buddha, wore a golden conical cap and a square robe, and took his eldest son as the Bodhisattva of Green Light and his second son as the Bodhisattva of Divine Light. He once wrote more than 20 volumes of his own "Buddhist scriptures", which were full of falsehoods that glorified him. A monk, Shi Cong, criticized all the teachings of Bow Tzu as "evil and strange". Upon hearing this, Bow Tzu immediately arrested Shi Cong and beat him to death with an iron pick. Like all tyrants in the world, he was suspicious of his subordinates, and many people were killed because of his unfounded suspicion. In order to deter people's mentality, Bow Yee claimed that he had the power to see into people's inner world, which caused his men to be afraid of themselves. Bong-suk's perverse behavior finally led to his downfall, which in turn led to the rise of his favorite general, Wang Chien, to the stage of Joseon's history.

Wang Jian was a native of Songak County (Gyeonggi-do) and was born in the fourth year of Emperor Xi's reign (877 A.D.). Wang Jian served under the ministry of Bong Yüan as the lord of Songyak Castle and the governor of Cheolwon, and became Bong Yüan's most capable general due to his war achievements, commanding the navy in the southwestern waters, which was growing in strength. Regarding the origin of Wang Jian, there are many different opinions in the historical books, and there is no lack of omissions. The book "Goryeo Lineage" recorded many legends about the ancestors of Wang Jian circulated in the Goryeo Dynasty. The book says that the ancestor of the great-grandfather Wang Jian was named Hujing, who called himself the General of Sacred Bone. Hu Jing gave birth to Kang Zhong, who had a son, Bao Yu, who was gifted and benevolent and went to Zhi Yi Mountain to practice Buddhism. Bao Yu's daughter with Tang Gui name, born Zuodi Jian, Zuodi Jian in his later years, living in the mountain of the long cape temple, often read the Buddhist scriptures died. Zuodijian's son said Longjian, that is, Shizu and Taizu's father. At that time, there was a Taoist priest in Tongli Mountain, who met Shizu as if he was an old acquaintance, and climbed to Bokryeong to study the veins of the mountains and the water, and observed astronomy and geography, and built a new place in Songak, and prophesied that it would be a unification of the three Koreas, and that it would be a birth of a great master, and so on. However, this statement is actually from Goryeo Yi Zong Wang Jin Kuan Yi's "chronicle", is a later fake. According to Songjing Zhi, "Yeo Shi" said that Kim Yongfu and Kim Kuan Yi were both ministers of King Yi Jong. Kuan Yi made "chronicle", Yongfu adopted into it. Its fats also said Kuan Yi visited the collection of private livestock documents, and then Min stains made "chronicle", also because of Kuan Yi said. Only Li Qixian aid based on the "clan record Shengyuan Records", to rebuke the fallacy of its blackmail. Qi Xian a generation of famous Confucian, not see and light to have discussed the time of the king's lineage? (Omitted) "Taizu real record" is the political hall literature to repair the national history of Huang Zhouliang also compiled. Zhou Liang serves the granddaddy Hsien Tsung dynasty. The events of the time of the Great Ancestor, the ear and eye, its in the grant, according to the actual book. To chastity and for the state phase of the match, thought three generations and slightly no word and in the biography of the said, wide Yi is the Shizong micro-officials, and to go to the great-grandfather more than two hundred and sixty years, can be discarded at the time of the actual record, and believe that the future generations of miscellaneous out of the book of the evil? This was a hub of land and water transportation and a metropolis of merchants in the eighth and ninth centuries, and trade from the Korean Peninsula to mainland China began here. It is now believed that the Wang family was originally a huge merchant who started out as a trader, and later grew to become a powerful local power in Kaesong. Wang's father, Wang Yongjian, took control of Kaesong and used it as a stronghold, and in 896 A.D., Wang Yongjian and his son, Wang Jian, joined Bongseo, and since then, Wang Jian became a powerful general in Bongseo's army. In the second year of King Gyeongmyeong of Silla (918 A.D.), the officers of Bongseo's men revolted, and Hongru, Bae Hyungyeong, Shin Sungkyeon, and Park Jikyeon, Wang Jian's trusted cavalry generals, expelled Bongseo from the country and made Wang Jian king (Bongseo was killed on the way to his death). The Dongguk Tongguan, Volume 12 and Goryeo Shi? In the second year of King Taejo's reign, he moved the capital to Songak County, elevated the county to Gaeju, and built a palace. Wang Jian also claimed to be the successor of Goguryeo, and he named the country Goryeo and the year Cheonjeon. Thus, the situation of the latter three kingdoms on the Korean Peninsula was officially formed. Goryeo and Later Baekje quickly fell into confrontation and war.

Wang Jian first sent a message of union to King Gyeongmyung of Silla in 920 A.D. (the third year of Goryeo's Cheonjeong), hiring an envoy from Silla, and in the same year, Yen Xuan captured Daeyeolseong in the west of Silla, and marched into Jinryeokseong at the southern tip of Goryeo, and Silla asked Wang Jian for help. The 16-year unification war then began. At the beginning of the war, both sides won and lost, and both sides actively sought assistance from the outside world. In 922 AD, Baekje sent a mission to Japan to join the war on the peninsula, but Japan refused. So Zhen Xuan again tribute to the Later Tang, in exchange for "holding the section of the Governor Quan Wu and other state military line Quanzhou assassination of the sea east and west face of the command of the army and horse control and other things Baekje king cognac 2,500 households, check school lieutenant and the service of the middleman to judge the affairs of Baekje". In addition, as early as 900 A.D., when he was just proclaimed king, Bong-doi sent an envoy to Wu-Yue (in fact, in 896 A.D., he sent an envoy to Ch'ien Ch'ien, who had not yet been proclaimed king of Ch'ien-tung at that time). However, Baekje's diplomatic activities did not help him gain an advantage in the war. (The power of the then Central Plains dynasty itself was so limited that the so-called seals were nothing more than a piece of paper, and the power of the southern cutthroat regimes was even weaker.)

In 926 A.D., Goryeo and Baekje fought a duel of unprecedented proportions, and in September Baekje captured Jinju, and the city fell in October, when King Gyeongnyeo and his concubines traveled to the Boseok Pavilion and held a banquet at the Boseok Banquet, which was captured by Baekje's soldiers. Wang Jian personally led the troops to the aid, defeated and returned, Wang Jian was only spared by his body. King Jing Ai killed himself, and although Yan Xuan won, he had to pay a considerable price, so in December Yan Xuan took the initiative to propose a truce to Wang Jian. Wang Jian agreed in March of the following year. Yan Xuan used a few months to prepare his army for the war and gained a respite, and from May, the war started again in the northern part of Gyeongsangbuk-do and the southern part of Chungcheongbuk-do. After 929 AD, Baekje made rapid progress in Gyeongsangbuk-do. In the same year, Yan Xuan once again asked for help from Japan, but was again refused.

Goryeo counterattacked from 930 A.D., when Wang Jian defeated Houbaekje in Guchang-gun. In 933 A.D., Wang Jian sent an envoy to the Later Tang Dynasty and was crowned King of Goryeo. In the same year, Wang Jian abolished his own year name "Tianjian" and started to adopt the year name "Changxing" given by the Later Tang Dynasty. Wang Jian was granted the title of orthodoxy by the Chinese dynasty and was able to legitimately replace Silla to unify the peninsula. In 934 A.D., when the Goryeo army marched southward to Chungcheong-do, Yan Xuan once again asked Wang Jian for a truce in the name of "peace". At that time, most of the generals in the army thought that Zhen Xuan was alone and asked for peace, and advised Wang Jian to allow "peace", except for the veteran maltreated Qianlian, who said that he could not stop the war. Wang Jian took the advice of maltreating Qianqian and sent thousands of elite cavalry to attack the rear Baekje army and won a great victory. Goryeo won a decisive victory over Houbaekje in Yunzhou, and the land north of Xiongjin was all brought into Goryeo.

In 935 A.D., there was a civil unrest in Houbaekje. Zhen Xuan's eldest son, Excalibur, together with his second son, Liangjian, and his third son, Longjian, imprisoned his father in the "Jinshan Buddhist Temple" and killed his fourth son, Jingang, who was made the crown prince by Zhen Xuan, and made himself the king. In the summer and sixth month of 935 AD, Zhen Xuan took his youngest son and daughter to "run to Luozhou and ask to enter the imperial court", bowing down to his old rival Wang Jian. There was also an important event in this year, which was recorded in the Goryeo History: "..... In the winter, October 10th (October 30th), King Jin Fu of Silla sent his retainer, Jin Feng, to invite him to enter the court. ...... November A Wu (December 1), the Silla King rate of 100 bureaucrats sent Wangdu, the common people are from it. The car and horse even more than thirty miles, the road fill throat, viewers like a jam. Along the road state and county offer billion very prosperous, the king sent to ask the lieutenant. Heiwei (26th), the king of Luo wrote: 'the country has long been in turmoil, the calendar has been poor, no longer hope to protect the base, I would like to see the courtesy of the subject! Not allowed. Twelve years xinyou (29th), the ministers said: 'the sky is not two days, the earth is not two kings; a country of two kings, how can the people be embarrassed? I am willing to listen to King Luo's request!' ...... Remove Silla Kingdom as Gyeongju ......." What is recorded here is the historical fact that Kim Fu, the last king of Silla, King Gyeongsun, submitted to Wang Jian. 9 years earlier King Gyeongnyeo, who was of Park's origin, had been killed by Yenxuan, and then King Baekje did not destroy Silla while burning and looting in Gimju. He put Kim Fu, a descendant of the Kim royal family, on the throne of the king of Silla, and Kim Fu, who was a puppet, decided to submit to Wang Jian as he saw that his kingdom was in danger and only a part of Gimju was left. His son objected to this, saying, "We should seek with the loyal and righteous to gather the hearts of the people to defend the country with death." (Three Kingdoms Historical Records? However, Silla's kingdom was irretrievably lost, but after the submission, Jin Fu and the royal family of Silla were treated with courtesy by Wang Jian. Wang Jian promised his eldest daughter, Princess Lelang, to Kim Fu as his wife, and made Kim Fu the king of Lelang, and gave him the old capital of Silla, Gyeongju, to govern.

The history of the Three Kingdoms came to an end in the summer and June of 936 A.D. with a dramatic event. Yan Xuan took the initiative to ask Wang Jian for troops to crush his three unfilial sons, saying, "I would like to kill the sons of thieves with my mighty spirit" (Goryeo History? The History of Goryeo and the Chronicle of King Taejo (太祖本纪). Of course, Wang Jian could not miss the opportunity, he and Zhen Xuan "personally led the three armies to Tian'an, into the second a good. Excalibur led the civil and military officials to surrender. The rebellious ministers can Huan, a number of crimes to be executed." (East Kingdom History? (Goryeo Chronicle) The old man beat his son to fulfill the world of others, such a thing is also rare in the stage of world history. However, Wang Jian pardoned Excalibur on the grounds that he had been "coerced by others and begged for his life". Soon afterward, Zhen Xuan died of gangrene in a few days at the Huangshan Buddhist temple. Wang Jian exiled Liang Jian and Long Jian to Jinzhou and killed them soon after. At the same time, he appointed Park Ying, the son-in-law of Zhen Xuan, to be the minister of the rule, as a gesture of tenderness to the Zhen clan.

After the unification of the peninsula, Wang Jian was faced with two major challenges: how to consolidate the rule of the Goryeo Dynasty internally, and how to face the newly emerged strong neighbor, Khitan, externally. Referring to the rules and regulations of Taefeng, Silla and the Middle Kingdom, Wang Jian initially established a central government structure for the new Goryeo Dynasty. Goryeo had three provinces: the Inner Council, Gwangmyeon, and Inner Bong, of which Gwangmyeon was the most important. Gwangmyeon province under the jurisdiction of the election, military, civil and criminal justice, rituals, labor six officials, in charge of all kinds of state affairs, can be said to be the center of the Goryeo Dynasty. The highest military organization in Goryeo was the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the army consisted of government soldiers who were recruited from the farmers. In addition, the Six Armies, which were stationed in the capital city of Gaegyeong, had the status of forbidden armies and were under the direct control of the king. The structure of the Goryeo dynasty court was superficially similar to the centralized system of the Chinese Sui and Tang empires. However, the superficial similarity could not hide the great difference between the Goryeo dynasty and the social foundation of the Chinese state. The Goryeo dynasty, founded by Wang Jian, was ultimately founded with the support of local magnates (in fact, Wang Jian's family was one of the many magnates), and the degree of unity of the Goryeo kingdom could not be compared to that of the Chinese dynasty.

The rise of the local powerful clans was directly related to the establishment of military towns in the late Silla period. The Silla court set up military towns in order to guard the strategic strongholds to defend the country, and in the early stage, the military towns were mainly located in the northern border to defend the Bohai Kingdom. However, as the threat to maritime trade from pirate harassment became more and more serious, the Silla court began to establish a series of fortresses in the southern coastal area. Cheonghae Town, guarded by Jangbogao (or Bow Bok), Guancheng Town in present-day Nanyang, and Nakguchi Town on Ganghwa Island were the three most important of these towns. Like Zhang Baogao, these town generals were armed with private soldiers centered on members of their families. They de facto controlled most of Silla's territory away from the capital, Gimju, for generations, and these local clans were known as "town lords" because of the extensive fortresses they built in their territories. Most of these lords were stationed in the name of the government army and recruited soldiers from their own people, so they were often referred to as "generals" in historical records. The social background of the city lords was complex, not to mention those who started from the grass like Zhang Baogao, but some city lords also came from the background of the nobles in the capital. Some of these Jinzhou nobles came from the True Bone nobility, while others came from the lower status of the Rutoupin, who were expelled from the capital due to crime or defeat in political struggles. However, more of the city's lords were in the local powerful families. The powerful families greatly expanded their power after putting the surrounding lands and people under their control. These two types of lords gradually replaced the magistrates appointed by the imperial court and became the local "local emperors".

Wang Jian's unification marked the end of the dynastic wars, but the local lords and their strongholds remained independent and semi-independent, no different from the Three Kingdoms period. As early as the beginning of Wang Jian's ascension to the throne, there were many powerful clans that came to follow him. According to the article of the end of the second month of the thirteenth year of King Taejo in the History of Goryeo, "At that time, all the coastal counties and tribes to the east of Silla surrendered to the king. From the Ming Dynasty to Xingli Province, there were more than a hundred cities." The attachment of these powerful clans was undoubtedly a blessing in disguise for Wang Jian, who was weak at that time, and thus could not help but return the favor after he had established himself in the world. In addition, the local power of those generals who followed Wang Jian to the death was recognized by the imperial court, and Taizu's local rule had to be maintained by them. In order to pacify the local clans and integrate them into the ruling system of the dynasty, Wang Jian took some effective measures. The strategy of marrying the local clans was to consolidate the relationship between the royal family and the clans and to encourage them to contribute to the strengthening of the Goryeo regime and the stabilization of the society. Wang Jian was related to more than twenty great clans in the country, such as the Jeongju Ryu Clan, the Pyeongsan Maltreatment Clan and the Park Clan, and the Guangzhou Wang Clan. On the other hand, according to the achievements of the local clans to the dynasty and the size and quantity of the cities and towns they led, Wang Jian set up the territories of the big and small clans into prefectures, states, and counties accordingly, and the officials in charge of these prefectures, states, and counties were still the original clans, and in this way, they were incorporated into the Goryeo's state apparatus by Wang Jian, and thus, the Goryeo's county and prefecture system came into being. (The Goryeo's local governmental system was modeled after that of the Tang Dynasty of our country, and it included: provinces, prefectures, states, counties, and counties). (Goryeo's local government setup followed China's Tang Dynasty, including the five levels of Dao, Prefecture, State, County, and County, and the prefectures, states, counties, and counties in Wang Jian's era were just the beginning, and the local government setup came to an end in the 14th year of Goryeo's King Seongjong's reign in the year of A.D. 995). In spite of Wang Jian's attempts to enlist the local clans, they were still unwilling to be satisfied (Wang Jian's policy itself had the disadvantage of accommodating the clans), and two years after Wang Jian's death, the "Wang Gui Rebellion" broke out, which nearly overthrew the Goryeo Dynasty and declared the failure of Wang Jian's strategy of softening the people.

If Wang Jian adopted the strategy of softness and favor in dealing with the domestic powerful clans, then in contrast, Wang Jian's aggressive strategy in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula is in stark contrast. The importance of Pyongyang is worth mentioning in Wang Jian's overall strategy for the north. After Pyongyang had been gradually deserted by the Tang army in 668 A.D., Wang Jian upgraded Pyongyang to the status of the western capital on the pretext of defending it against the intrusion of the Jurchen, and dispatched his younger brother, Wang Shilian, as the governor to guard it. In the early Goryeo Dynasty, the governor of the western capital Pyongyang had a great power, he only needed to answer to the king himself, and the appointment and dismissal of the officials under him was completely decided by the governor himself. At the same time, Wang Jian adopted the strategy of migrating to solidify the border, moving a large number of people from the southern part of the peninsula to the northern part. These measures of Wang Jian strengthened the border defense force in the north of Goryeo and greatly expanded the area of the country.

Goryeo Taizu Tianjiu eight years (925 AD), Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji troops destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, and the crown prince Yelu Bei for the human king, in the Bohai Kingdom was established in the former territory of the "Dongdan State". To 928 A.D., due to the needs of the Khitan troops in the Central Plains and the Bohai remnants of the constant resistance, "Dongdan country" was moved to Liaodong, a time when the vast Bohai homeland into the empty land no one cared about. The demise of Bohai made the relationship between Goryeo and Khitan tense rapidly, and the alliance between Khitan and Later Baekje made it impossible for Wang Jian not to take precautions. It is in this context, Goryeo began to take the initiative to absorb the remnants of the Bohai people, since the days of the 11th year (AD 928) in March, "Bohai people Jin Shen and other 60 households to cast", the Bohai people will be a steady stream of people into the territory of Goryeo. Some of the more famous ones are, in the 17th year of Tianjiu (934 AD), "Daguangxian, the son of Bohai Kingdom, led tens of thousands of people to come to join", four years later, "Parksheng, a Bohai man, came to join with more than 3,000 households", and in the 4th year of King Jingzong Xianhe (979 AD), "Bohai people numbered tens of thousands of people to come to join". In the fourth year of King Jingsong's reign (979 AD), "Bohai people came with ten thousand households". In 942 A.D., the Khitan again sent Goryeo to make a final effort to repair the diplomatic relations, but the result was a failure. According to the Goryeo History? Taizu Shijia", "in the winter of the 25th year of the Imjin October, the Khitan sent an envoy to leave 50 camels. The king of Khitan tasted and Bohai even peace, suddenly suspicious of two, back alliance square destroy. This is a very rude, not far enough to be a neighbor, so he cut off the diplomatic relations. Thirty of his envoys were sent to the island, and their camels were tied under the Wanfu Bridge, and they all died of starvation". Thus, the relationship between Goryeo and Khitan was completely broken. At the same time, Wang Jian's pace of strategy in the north did not stop for a moment, and by the end of his reign, Goryeo's northern border had reached as far as Yongheung in the present-day South Hamgyeong Province and the south bank of the Cheongchon River, and its territory greatly exceeded that of Silla.

One of the major features of Goryeo culture was the flourishing of Buddhism, which was very different from that of the Lee Dynasty, which respected only Confucianism. Since Goryeo Buddhism is mentioned, Taejo Wang Jian's enthusiasm for Buddhism cannot be left out. According to the Dongguo Tongjian, Volume 10, and the Goryeo History, Taejo Benji, Taejo's enthusiasm for Buddhism cannot be omitted. Taejo Benji, in the second year of Taejo's reign, he moved the capital to Songak County, elevated the county to Kaiju, and created a palace. And build the king of law, ci cloud, the king wheel, within the emperor, shena, heavenly zen, emerging, wenshu, round, jizang ten temples in the capital, this is the beginning of the Goryeo government-run temples. Throughout the dynasty of Wang Jian, he built temples and pagodas all over the country, the most famous of which are the seven-story pagoda built in the capital and the nine-story pagoda built in Pyongyang. Wang Jian's reasons for promoting Buddhism were not only his personal religious beliefs, but also the need to maintain the stability of the country. Li Qixian compiled the "Kaiguo Temple Rehabilitation Records" recorded: "the eighteenth year of the mandate of heaven, the Great Ancestor with the words of the artist, the construction of Kaiguo Temple, the recruitment of soldiers for the work of apprenticeships, breaking the structure of the shield, shown to lay down the troops to rest the people also." This shows that Wang Jian's intention to use religion for his own use. In his later years, Wang Jian became a devout Buddhist because of his fear of death. Baiyunshan Neiyuan Temple deeds" has the cloud: "the Great Ancestor Edict the states, build jungles, set up a Zen garden, Buddha and pagodas, where up to more than 3,500" Wang Jian, if not out of a sincere faith, it is very difficult to do so.

Later Jin Tianfu eight years (943 AD), Goryeo Taizu Wang Jian princely, aged 67. Wang Jian passed on to Huizong Yi Gong Wang's legacy of ten articles, which are copied as follows:

One of them says, my country's great cause, must be funded by the power of the Buddha's protection, so the creation of Zen monasteries, sent abbots burning repair, so that each rule their own business. Later generations of treacherous ministers in power, favoring monks please reveal, each industry temple society, scrambling to change, it is advisable to ban.

The second said, all the monasteries are Taoist ? pushed to occupy the landscape and create. Daojian cloud, I have occupied outside the fixed, create, the loss of thin land virtue, the throne industry soon. I think the future generations of kings and princes, concubines and courtiers, each called the Hall of Wishes, or increase the creation, it can be a big worry. The end of Silla, competition to build pontoons, the decline of the earth's virtue, in order to the bottom of the death, can not be warned? (History of Goryeo, Volume 2)

See, Wang Jian for sycophantic Buddhism is not unaware of the harm, but his descendants will eventually pay the price. However, Wang Jian could do nothing more about it, for the good king, who was both a man of letters and a man of arms, rested in peace.
