Example Sentences
- "Writings and excavations are the only sources of information on palace structures before the Chosŏn period. Remains of the ancient Koguryŏ city of Kungnae (modern Tong’gou^([sic]) in Jilin Province on the Chinese side of the Yalu River) and of Anhak Place in P’yŏngyang give a glimpse of Koguryŏ palaces. While only some plinths and fragments of roof-tiles have been found on the Kungnae site, revealing little about the palace in general, the excavation of the Anhak site showed the scope of the palace grounds and the arrangement of halls, covered passageways and gates."
- "The capital of Koguryŏ was initially at Cholbon 卒本 but shifted to Kungnae 國內 in A.D. 3 (in the twenty-second year of Koguryŏ's king Yuri)."
