Story 26. The identity of the Golden Jar, the founder of the Konggrat tribe, is Yabal’s 4th generation descendant Geumhaeng (今幸)

The “Golden Jar”, the founder of the Konggrat tribe that <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia> speaks of, is surprisingly “Geumhaeng (今幸), the monk of Pyeongju, Hwanghae Province” in <Goryeo History (高麗史)> and <Goryeo History Jeolyo Summary(高麗史節要)>. It is also written in Chinese characters as “Geumhaeng (金幸) Kim Haeng.” Next, the identity of the three sons of “Golden Jar” Geumhaeng, namely the three brothers that <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia> speaks of as “Churluk Mergen,” “Kubaisire,” and “Tusbudau.” At first glance, their names seem very unfamiliar. However, if you look closely, their names were nothing more than Tungusic titles or Chinese character titles based on the Korean Malgal language. Also, these were actually the three brothers Kagorai (阿古迺, Ago-rae), Hambo (函普, Keun-bo, Keun-ga), and Bo-kori (保活里, Bo-hwal-ri) who appear in the <Jin Dynasty History 金史>. Among them, Hambo was the “founder of the Jin Dynasty” that we all know well, and his 7th generation descendant was “Wan-an Aguda (完顔阿骨打)” who founded the Jin Dynasty.

Then, who is the descendant of the legendary Genghis Khan of the <Golden Jar> and the founder of the Mongol race, “Ki-yan” and “Nekuz”, who was the “grandson of Ki-yan”? According to <The Garden of Fortune, History of Khorezm, Khorezm History>, he is none other than “Ki-yan’s grandson.” This is the first time in the history of Genghis Khan history that the relationship between Kiyan and the Golden Jar has been revealed. Soon, “Geumhaeng (今幸)” is interestingly a story about a person who becomes the grandson of “Kiyan”, the grandson of Banan-gun Daeyabal, the founder of the second royal family of Balhae. We have already seen that “Kiyan” was born again as a son of Ilha, the son of Daeyabal, and became “Gan (澗).” The grandson of that “Gan (澗)” is “Geumhaeng (今幸)”, that is, the “Golden Jar” of <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia>

.

In <Jipsa Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia>, Rashid only recorded the name of the person called “Golden Jar”, the founder of Kongrat, and did not write down who his ancestor was from which country. The identity of the Golden Jar, who became the ancient ancestor of Genghis Khan and his wife Burte Ujin, as such a mysterious and enigmatic person, was the 4th generation descendant of Yabal, the second founder of the Balhae royal family. This was Yabal → Son Ilha → Son Gan (澗=Kiyan) → Gan's son → Gan's grandson Geumhaeng = Golden Jar → 3 sons Kagorai (Agorae), Jin Dynasty founder Hambo (函普), Bokori (Bohwari) This is a genealogy story that continues.

If we connect this genealogy with the “Great Expedition from Arkan Kun of the Konggrat tribe” in <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia>

the father of the three sons, Golden Jar, lived in “Pyeongju (平州)” in the southern part of Hwanghae-do in today’s Korea. However, this region was not the “Arkan Kun” mentioned in <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia>or, <사국사Taikh-I Arba' Ulus, 四汗國, Four Khan Countries> ,that is, the “Yalu (Amnog) River County” in Pyeonganbuk-do and Hamgyeongnam-do. This meant that during his time, some of the Konggrat people had already left “Arkan Kun” and were living in other regions. So when was that time? It was the time of the 10th king of Balhae, Seonwang (宣王), Daeinsu (大仁秀). The basis for this was that the 10th king, Daeinsu, fought a war to recover territory from the southern region of Balhae that had been taken over by Silla during the reign of his great-grandfather, Ilha, and the Heuksu Malgal (黑水靺鞨), which had also come under the rule of the Tang Dynasty at the same time.

This war to recover Balhae’s old territory was the reason for the Konggrat tribe’s great campaign. The king of Balhae in the northern country, the Golden Jar, called upon the Konggrat ancestor, and ordered a war to recover territory lost during the “Great War between the Tartars and the Mogol (Mongol) Tribe,” that is, the war between Balhae and the Tang Dynasty, against the southern country, Silla.

As a result, the “Golden Jar” recovered the territory of Balhae, including “Pyeongju (平州),” today’s Pyeongsan in Hwanghae Province, and probably north of the Han River. Also, thanks to that merit, he settled in “Pyeongju” and sat on the throne of “Balhae-Goryeo King.” For this reason, the main text of <Goryeo History> recorded him as “Pyeongju monk (僧) Geumhaeng (今幸)”, and <Goryeo Segye (高麗世系)>, which is the preface to <Goryeo History>, recorded him as “West Sea Dragon King (西海龍王)” Du Eun-jeom Gakgan (豆恩岾 角干). Surprisingly, he was none other than the grandfather of Goryeo Taejo Wang Geon in <Goryeo Segye>, Jakjegeon (作帝建), the father-in-law of “Maenggal Clan = Malgal Clan” and Wang Geon’s maternal great-grandfather. At the same time, “Pyeongjuseung Geumhaeng” was the father of Hambo, the 7th ancestor of Wanyan Aguda, the founder of Jin Dynasty, and also the 4th great-grandfather of Alan Gowa, the 10th great-grandfather of Genghis Khan, and the father of Bo Hwal-ri. Therefore, “Goryeo Wang (王) clan” and the Jin (金) royal family of Josin (女眞) “Wanyan (完顔) clan” are the same. The phrase “Wanyan is Wang Clan (完顔日王)” in the “Geumguk-eo Hae-seong clan” section of <Jin Dynasty History> means exactly this. In this way, Wang Geon’s maternal great-grandfather and Wanyan Aguda’s 8th great-grandfather is Geumhaeng, the 4th great-grandson of Balhae Banan-gunwang Daeya-bal, or “Hanggeum Hangari” in <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia>

. This very same Geumhaeng is also the grandfather of “Konggrat,” who can be said to be the minor ancestor of the “Konggrat tribe,” the lineage of Genghis Khan’s wife, “Burte Ujin.” “Konggrat” is the son of “Agorae (阿古迺, Kagorai)” in the <Jin Dynasty History>, and the sound and meaning of his name are all the same as his own father “Agorae”, “Agorae (阿古迺)” or “Ogorae (烏古迺, Kogorai)”, the fifth generation descendant of Oro (烏魯), the son of Hambo, a relative of the Yekires tribe. It is truly amazing.

Episode 1. The ancestor of the Konggrat tribe, Golden Jar, and the six tribes of the tribes of his three sons

According to the <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia>

, the “Konggrat tribe” is made up of three major tribes created by each of the three sons of “Golden Jar.” Furthermore, if we add the three tribes that later split off from each of these three major tribes, there are six tribes in total. Of these three major tribes or six tribes, excluding the tribes that were called by different names as explained in <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia>, the tribe that was specifically called the “Konggrat tribe” in the <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia> system was the tribe of the first son of the Golden Jar. This tribe will be revealed as the “Goguryeo tribe (clan).” Within this tribe, there were two more tribes, which were the “Burkut (Balhae clan, 渤海氏, Bargad)” and “Kurleut (Goryeo Na clan, 高麗羅氏, Goryeo Naud)” mentioned in <The Garden of Fortune, History of Khorezm, Khorezm History>. Among these various tribes of the Kongrat tribe, the most representative and important were the "Kongrat (Hwan-eo-ra 驩於羅, Kang-geo-ra) tribe" descended from the first son Ago-rae, the second son Hambo's Yekires (Yeok-ra-ssi 役拏氏), and the third son's descendant Korras (Goryeo Na-ssi = Hap-ran-ro-ssi, 高麗羅氏=合蘭路氏) tribe. Therefore, for convenience, they are referred to as the "three tribes of the Kongrat family." If we match the names recorded in <Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia> with the names in <Jin Dynasty History>,

the first son Curlug Mergen was the Ago-rae (Ago-ryan) of <Jin Dynasty History> and the ancestor of the tribes belonging to Kongrat, and the two tribes Burkut and Kurleut were created. The second son, Qubai shire, was Hambo of <Jin Dynasty History> and had two sons, Ikires and Olkunut.

The third son, Tusbudauu, was Bohwalri of <Jin Dynasty History> and had two sons, Karanut and Kungliut.

On the other hand, <사국사Taikh-I Arba' Ulus, 四汗國, Four Khan Countries>

, which records the ancestors of Genghis Khan in more detail than <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia>

, does not talk about the genealogy of the tribes such as Konggrat and Yekires for some reason. Instead, it only records in detail the deeds of the people in the genealogy of Alan Kowa and Korras, the direct ancestors of Genghis Khan. This genealogy is <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia> [Son of the Golden Jar] "Temurtosh Kon (Temyptowxoi) = [Tusbudau] → Son Menglikhoja Kon [Kongliut] → Son Yulduz Kon [Misar Uluk] → Son Chuimana Kon [Khoras] → Daughter Alan Kow", and technically, the genealogy of Genghis Khan's ancestors can also be seen as this Koras genealogy. <집사Tarikh-e Monghul, 集史 History of Mongolia> and <사국사Taikh-I Arba' Ulus, 四汗國, Four Khan Countries>,<Jin Dynasty History> Genealogy
