Korea is a geographic area composed of two sovereign countries a civilization and a former state situated on the Korean Peninsula in East Asia. It is a bound volume of four historical records: Samseonggi, Dangun Segi, Bukbuyeogi and Taebaek Ilsa.
According to its introduction, it was compiled in 1911 by Uncho Gye Yeon-su (운초 계연수, 雲樵 桂延壽; ? ~ 1920) and supervised by Yi Gi (이기,李沂; 1848 ~ 1909). However, the only currently known copy is Yi Yu-rip's transcription restored and published in 1979.
Contents
The four books comprising the Hwandan Gogi are:
- Samseonggi (two volumes), describing ancient kingdoms called Hwan-guk that lasted for 3301 years, and Hwanung's 1565-year rule of Baedalguk.

Dispute regarding authenticity
Criticism
Most historians in South Korea, North Korea and Japan generally consider the Hwandangogi to have been created in recent times, because of the following reasons:
- There are words from modern language. South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea and often referred to as Korea ( Korean: 대한민국 tɛː North Korea is the commonly used short form name for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (or DPRK) a State located in East Asia, For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Japan topics. (for example, '男女平權; the equality of man and woman', '父權; paternal rights')
- The route through which Hwandangogi was first published is not clear.
- Yi Gi could not have supervised the Hwandangogi which first compiled in 1911, because he died then [1].
- The contents of Cheonbu Gyeong could not be included in Taebaek Ilsa before 1911 because the Cheonbu Gyeong was first discovered and known to the Daejonggyo in 1916 by Gae Yeonsu, the person who compiled Hwandan Gogi.
- The 1911 edition has not been found. There is no proof that the book was kept by Yi Yurip and lost in 1975, and then restored by Yi Yurip before 1979.
- The contents in Hwandan Gogi are not realistic.
- The population of Gojoseon 4,000 years ago is said to be 180 million.
- The nation is said to span several thousand kilometers in about 8000 BCE.
Support
Some historians view the Hwandan gogi as worthy of further scholarly scrutiny, believing that it is at least partly based on historically valuable, ancient (if not literally accurate) texts.
- The record that five stars were arranged in straight line at 1733 BCE (오성취루, 五星聚婁). This astronomical record in Hwandan Gogi is proved by Professor Park Changbeom, and it is published in the journal[2]. They show that the five stars was arranged in straight line at 1734 BCE with the assumption that Gojoseon was established at 2333BCE. Gojoseon was an ancient Korean kingdom considered the first proper nation of the Korean people.
- Professor(Major field: Law) Junhwan Go asserts several reasons why the Hwandan Gogi is considerable. [3][4][5]
- The territory of Gojoseon explained by Hwandan Gogi accords with the distribution area of the mandolin-shaped dagger of Gojoseon. Gojoseon was an ancient Korean kingdom considered the first proper nation of the Korean people. The Liaoning bronze dagger culture is an archeological complex of the late Bronze Age in Northeast Asia Moreover, this territory advocated by Yoon et al. [6] and Yi Byeongdo[7] coincide with the territory explained by Hwandan Gogi. Yi Byeongdo (1896 - 1989 was an influential Korean historian He is often associated with the Japanese colonial view of Korean history
