One of the reasons Koguryeo borrowed the Buyeo foundation myth came from a wrosening relationship between Koguryeo and Baekje around this time. The worse the relationship between the two Buyeo descendants, the stronger each of them claimed itself to be a legitimate successor to Buyeo around this time. 1:08 The record that Baekje had built Dongmyong temple and had had an ancestral rites ceremony to worship Dongmyong from the beginning of Baekje (the reign of Onjo, frounder of Baekje) in the section of Onjo Baekje in [Samguksagi] shows that Baekje also had a strong sense that they are descendants of Buyeo. 1:38 As all the Buryeo related nations that branched from Buyeo such as north Buyeo and east Buyeo were all annexed into Koguryeo around this time, Baekje that was in a bad relationship with Koguryeo strongly claimed that Baekje was a legitimate successor to to Buyeo and that Buyeo was still alive, changing its name into South Buyeo in 538. 2:02 After losing the capital city (Seoul) to Koguryeo, Baekje transfered the capital from Seoul to Sabi and changed its name into south Buyeo. 2:50 Buyeo disappeared but the traces of Buyeo still remain even in the southern Korean peninula. The Daesungdong Tombs were revealed to be tombs of the noble and royal families of Kumkwan Kaya (1-6C) by the 1990s excavation. 3:13 In Daesungdon Tombs, Buyeo related remains including bronze caldrons called Dongbok were found. Some experts say that Dongbok in Kimhae (last capital of Kumkwan Kaya 1-6C) means the Buyeo influence over the southern part of the Korean peninsula. 4:30 Buyeo influence over later dynasties of Korea is seen in a Japanese history book [續日本紀, 797]. Balhae itself said that it had Buyeo traditions. This shows that Balhae also worshiped Buyeo as their ancestoral dynasty. 4:52 The Korean people strongly believed themselves Buyeo was their root and this was why the two Dongmyongs (one is founder of Buyeo and the other is founder of Koguryeo) existed in Korean history. 5:42 It was a 2000 km journey to revive Buyeo, root of ancient Korean nations. 6:16 Buyeo was the root of Koguryeo, Baekje and Balhae, and Dongmyong was a spiritual force of the Koreans. Since Buyeo, in ourselves, the strong sense that we are descendants of Dongmyong has existed. Revealing the truth of holy emperor Dongmyong and recovering the status of him are to regain our own root.
