Abstract
The Historical Memoirs by Sima Qian depict the enthronement of Wiman in Joseon, occurred in 194 B.C. in the Northern part of the Korean Peninsula. Since then, Joseon continued its existence as a kingdom until its fall in the hands of Han troops in 108 B.C. However, Sima Qian does not provide too many details of the State entity. Besides, the modern Korean historiography traditionally established the preexistence of the Joseon Kingdom back to the 24th Century B.C., since the foundation of the State by Dangun. Finally, more recent scholarship raises questions even on the very historical existence of Joseon as a State. This article systematizes these perspectives by reviewing: a) The Historical Memoirs and the Sinological literature, and b) the specialized academic literature on Korea. The paper implies therefore a first ordering of these perspectives within our milieu, helping to understand the origins of the State in the Korean Peninsula.
