486-411: A negative light. Despite the biases, Goryeosa is generally considered truthful to the original historical sources, and its writing maintains a matter-of-fact tone without embellishments.

For example, he instructed the historians not to omit or alter historical facts to promote Confucian ideals or to please the new dynasty. As

540-461: A result, King U and King Chang were taken out of the annals of kings ( sega ), put in as biographies ( yeoljeon ), and were treated as false kings with dubious lineage. According to Goryeosa, King U and King Chang were descended, not from the royal Wang family, but from Buddhist monk Shindon .

1944-549: The fate of Goryeo passed to its true ruler.

Joseon society's views on family relationships differed from those of Goryeo society. For example, incest

1998-413: The final phase between 2014 and 2015, the website began offering a modern Korean translation of Goryeosa.

2646-431: Was commonplace, and even preferred, among Goryeo's royal family, because marrying non-royals was seen as damaging to the bloodline. Additionally, while both Goryeo and Joseon practiced polygyny, Goryeo's polygyny involved multiple wives of equal status, whereas Joseon's consisted of one wife and many concubines.

The ship that now is known as Shinan ship , sailed from Ningbo to Hakata. The early 14th century journey
