SOUTH KOREA

Moon Goddess of Goguryeo

Korean mythology consists
of national legends and folk-tales which come from
all over the Korean Peninsula.The original religion
of Korea was a form of the Eurasian shamanism and
the totemism of Far East Asia, specifically of the
nomadic peoples of present-day Manchuria. These
were strongly colored by the later importations of
Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism from
China.

Goguryeo (traditional
founding date 37 BC; probably 2nd century BC – AD
668) was a kingdom in the northern Korean Peninsula
and Manchuria. It
was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, along with
Baekje and Silla.

The
modern English name "Korea" derives from the Goryeo Dynasty (935-1392).
Goguryeo was also called Goryeo at that time (See
Names of Korea). It is not clear what "Goguryeo" means, but it has been suggested that the name is related to a Korean word "Guri", meaning copper, because Goguryeo was famous for its copper mines. In addition, the Korean people may have once been called "Guhwan". Some scholars have suggested
that "Guhwan" was changed to "Guri" or "Guryeo"
when it was transliterated into the Chinese writing system.
Thus, "Goguryeo" means the nation of "Guryeo" or "Guhwan", whose rulers have a family name of Go.

Goryeo-era records say it was founded in 37 BC by Jumong, although it probably dates back to the 2nd century BC, around the time of Gojoseon's fall. Other small states in the former Gojoseon territory included Buyeo, Okjeo and Dongye, all of which were later conquered by Goguryeo. It was a major regional power of East Asia until it was defeated by a Silla-Tang alliance in 668. After its defeat, it was
divided between the Unified Silla and Balhae states
of Korea.

The Golden-Headed Fish, fro the Olive Fairy Book by Andrew Lang. I do love all the pictures of the Goldfish on the page. Diddily Dee Dot xxx
THE GOLDEN-HEADED FISH

by Andrew Lang - Olive Fairy Book

Once upon a time there lived in Egypt a king who lost his sight from a bad illness. Of course he was very unhappy, and became more so as months passed, and all the best doctors in the land were unable to cure him. The poor man grew so thin from misery that everyone thought he was going to die, and the prince, his only son, thought so too.

Great was therefore the rejoicing through Egypt when a traveller arrived in a boat down the river Nile, and after questioning the people as to the reason of their downcast looks, declared that he was court physician to the king of a far country, and would, if allowed, examine the eyes of the blind man. He was at once admitted into the royal presence, and after a few minutes of careful study announced that the case, though very serious, was not quite hopeless.Golden Fish

'Somewhere in the Great Sea,' he said, 'there exists a Golden-headed Fish. If you can manage to catch this creature, bring it to me, and I will prepare an ointment from its blood which will restore your sight. For a hundred days I will wait here, but if at the end of that time the fish should still be uncaught, I must return to my own master.'

The next morning the young prince set forth in quest of the fish, taking with him a hundred men, each man carrying a net. Quite a little fleet of boats was awaiting them, and in these they sailed to the middle of the Great Sea. During three months they laboured diligently from sunrise to sunset, but though they caught large multitudes of fishes, not one of them had a golden head.

'It is quite useless now,' said the prince on the very last night. 'Even if we find it this evening, the hundred days will be over in an hour, and long before we could reach the Egyptian capital the doctor will be on his way home. Still, I will go out again, and cast the net once more myself.' And so he did, and at the very moment that the hundred days were up, he drew in the net with the Golden-headed Fish entangled in its meshes.

'Success has come, but, as happens often, it is too late,' murmured the young man, who had studied in the schools of philosophy; 'but, all the same, put the fish in that vessel full of water, and we will take it back to show my father that we have done what we could.' But when he drew near the fish it looked up at him with such piteous eyes that he could not make up his mind to condemn it to death. For he knew well that, though the doctors of his own country were ignorant of the secret of the ointment, they would do all in their power to extract something from the fish's blood. So he picked up the prize of so much labour, and threw it back into the sea, and then began his journey back to the palace. When at last he reached it he found the king in a high fever, caused by his disappointment, and he refused to believe the story told him by his son.
