단군세기와 행촌 이암 박덕규

Dangun Century and Haeng-chon Lee-am

『檀君世紀(Dan-gun Century)』 is a historical book written by Haeng-chon Lee-am(杏村 李
嵒, 1297-1364) in the late Goryeo Dynasty. In 『Dan-gun Century』, the history of

Dangun-Joseon(檀君朝鮮) for 2,096 years, from the first Dangun Wang-geom(檀君王儉) to
the last 47th Dangun(檀君), is recorded in chronology.

This paper examines the historical significance of Cheon-bo(天寶) Mountain,
Cheong-pyeong(淸平) Mountain, and Gang-hwa(江華) Island, while following the situation of

the Goryeo Dynasty at the time when Haeng-chon(杏村) wrote 『檀君世紀』 and Haeng-chon
during the chaotic period. In addition, we look at the reason why the three people, Lee -Ming
(李茗), Beom-jang(范樟), and Haeng-chon, wrote the nationalist librarian, that is, the

“Resolution of Cheonbosan Mountain” that the three met and resolved. The three will be
taught a secret book by a Sojeon-geosa(素全居士) at Tae-so hermitage(太素庵) in Cheon-bo

Mountain, which is not Cheon-bo Mountain in Yangju, Gyeong-gi Province, as is known, but
Cheong-pyeong Mountain in Chun-cheon, where Lee Ja-hyun(李資玄, 1051~1125), who was
fluent in Zen and Buddhism, lived in early Goryeo. In addition, by comparing and reviewing

『檀君世紀』 and other librarians, the historical value of 『檀君世紀』 is considered by
comparing the difference between the independent historical system contained in 『檀君世

紀』 and 『太白逸史(Taebaek-Ilsa)』 by Lee-maek(李陌), a descendant of Haeng-chon.

Finally, compared with the historical perception system of Shin Chae-ho(申采浩,

1880~1936) and Lee Sang-ryong(李相龍, 1858~1932), we examine whether 『檀君世紀』 was a
forgery that was written in the modern era due to the influence of nationalists as some people

argued.
