| Abstract |
In those days when the Small Kao-chu-li Kingdom was founded, the main body of the nation was Kao-chu-lians. Further the nation contained the native Chinese and the people of Bai-ji 百済. Those Bai-jians... had been taken away to China as captives and were then transferred to this region. The Chinese and the Bai-jians were minorities in the Kingdom. The latter were assimilated with the Kao-chu-lians and disappeared by and by from the scene of history. At the end of Kai-yuan 開元 era, a great number of Mo-ho 靺鞨 men, of pure Tungus origin, fought against the Po-hai 渤海 Kingdom advancing north, were defeated by them and took refuge in the Small Kao-chu-li Kingdom. They settled down there and were, too, assimilated with Kao-chu-lians. The Po-hai Kingdom ruled strictly the Small Kao-chu-li as a dependency. As this rule continued for a long time, and the Kaochu- lians were of the same race as the Po-haians, the Kao-chu-lians became to be called as "Po-haians" by other nations. Diurchi 女真 was of the pure Tungus and began to advance southwards in the era of Po-hai, and lived extensively in the Small Kao-chu-li Kingdom. When Chi-tan 契丹 overthrew this Kingdom, the nation of Small Kao-chu-li consisted of Po-haians, Djurchians and a minority of native Chinese.show more
