1Coming down in a carriage drawn by five dragons

北扶餘古記云“前漢書宣帝神爵三年壬戌四月八日天帝降于訖升骨城〔在大遼醫州界.〕乗五龍車立都,稱王國號北扶餘自稱名解慕漱.生子名扶婁以解爲氏焉.王後因上帝之命移都于東扶餘,東眀帝継北扶餘而興立都于卒夲州爲卒夲扶餘,即髙句麗之始〔見下〕.”

North Buyeo.

The Gogi says this.

"In the Book of Former Han, in the third year of Shenjue under Emperor Xuan, an imsul year, on the eighth day of the fourth month, the Emperor of Heaven came down at Heulseunggol Fortress〔It lies within the borders of Uiju in Great Liao.〕.

He rode a carriage drawn by five dragons, set up his capital, called himself king, and named the state North Buyeo. He called himself Hae Mosu (解慕漱).

He had a son whom he named Buru (扶婁), and took Hae (解) as the family name.

Later, by the command of the Supreme Emperor, the king moved the capital to East Buyeo. Emperor Dongmyeong followed North Buyeo and rose, and set up his capital at Jolbon Province, which became Jolbon Buyeo. This was the beginning of Goguryeo.〔See below.〕"
