Jewang Ungi (Rhymed Chronicle of Emperors and Kings)帝王韻紀
From Pangu to the Jurchen Jin, from Dangun to Goryeo — an epic that weaves the two histories, of China and of the East, into verse. Declaring that there is a world apart in Liaodong, it sets the history of Korea beside that of China, and it is one of the first histories to sing of Dangun as the founding ancestor of every state on the Korean peninsula. The author's own one hundred and ninety-seven interlinear notes are carried with it.
36 entries and 348 paragraphs fully translated. The original text (1287) is out of copyright; the punctuation is a work of the National Institute of Korean History (it carries no public-licence mark — the source is named). The genealogical chart (世系圖) is only an image in the source database, so it could not be carried. The Goryeo taboo substitutions (武→虎, 建→立, 隆→豊) are resolved in the translation and stated there.
