Ungjin Baekje and King Muryeong's Tomb
Baekje lasted for 678 years from 18 BC until its fall in 660 AD, and is divided into Hanseong, Ungjin, and Sabi based on the location of its capital. Ungjin Baekje is the period from King Munju's move to Ungjin to King Seong's move to Sabi.
Baekje moved its capital to Ungjin when it was in a national crisis due to the fall of Hanseong by Goguryeo and the death of King Gaero, but the chaos continued. King Muryeong, who ascended to the throne during this time, strengthened royal authority and stabilized the people's livelihood, and laid the foundation for the revival of Baekje.
Ungjin Baekje inherited the culture of Hanseong Baekje, while also accepting and Baekjeizing the culture of the Southern Dynasties of China, which served as the driving force behind its cultural development. The tomb of King Muryeong and his queen, the Muryeong King, is a treasure trove of Baekje's ideology, craftsmanship, and cultural exchanges.
Silla, which unified the three kingdoms, organized the local administrative system of nine provinces and five capitals to efficiently rule the old Baekje and Goguryeo regions. Chungcheongnam-do belonged to Ungcheon-ju, and Gongju in particular served as the center of Ungcheon-ju.
Unified Silla during the North-South States Period granted official ranks to Baekje nobles and incorporated them into Silla's ruling order. In 822 (the 14th year of King Hyeondeok's reign), Kim Hyeon-chang rebelled in Ungcheon-ju, and maritime forces such as Bok Ji-gyeom and Park Sul-hui emerged along the coast of Ungcheon-ju and resisted Silla. This soon became the foundation for the Later Three Kingdoms.
