COMPARATIVE PERIODS
OF KOREAN AND CHINESE HISTORY



NOTE

Chosen (The Land of Morning Calm) was the original name of the peninsula kingdom. It is regularly used by Japanese and Koreans today. The name Korea is a perverted form of Koryo. During the Koryo period the ruling house happened to be particularly intimate with China. Cow-oo-li was the name by which the country became familiar to China. This developed into “Corea” and “Korea” which, though not strictly correct, are now in general use.
