Parhae

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Parhae

 Chinese Pohai

State established in the 8th century AD in northern Manchuria and northern Korea. Founded by a former Korean general, Tae Cho-yang, it was considered a successor state to Koguryo, which had occupied much of the same territory before its conquest by Silla in 668. Like Silla, Parhae was a tributary state of Tang-dynasty China. It traded with the nomadic tribes of the north and with China and Japan. Parhae was conquered in 926 by the Khitan tribes almost 20 years after their creation of the Liao dynasty on China's northern borders.

The author also touches on such controversial issues as the Korean foundation myths, the origins of the Kaya states, the position of Parhae in Korean history, and explains how these issues are related to contemporary cultural and political identities.
In addition to these two ethnic groups, Korean scholars have paid much attention to research on Kochoson (2333 (traditionally)-108 BC), which is believed to have occupied part of Northeast China, and Parhae (AD 698-926), the centre of which was located in Heilongjiang Province of China.
In the 7th century AD, this region becomes the focus of the Korean-speaking Parhae [Chinese: Bohai] successor state to Koguryo, one of the protohistoric Three Kingdoms of the Korean peninsula.
