好太王陵碑所載 永樂年號 使用匡正 = The Correction of Use of Yung Lag(永樂), the name of an era, recorded in the Hotae King's(好太王) Tombstone

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The people begin to know that Goguryo(高句麗) Dynasty used the name of an era through the discovery and decoding of the Hotae King's tombstone. By the reason of that Hotae King was named as the Great King of Yung Lag (永樂) on his tombstone, everybody decided that Yung Lag began to be used from accession to the throne of Hotae King.
On his tombstone, the first year of Yung Lag was recorded as the year of Sinmyo(辛卯), therefore it was written as the year of Sinmyo that Hotae King acceded the throne on the current chronological table. Besides the year of Hotae Kong's death was recorded as the year of Yimja(壬子, 412) and the accession to the throne of Jang Su King(長壽王) was recorded as the year of Gechuk(癸丑, 413) on the present chronological table.
When we see Goguryo chapter of Samgugsagi(三國史記) from the begining to the end, we can see the record that the death of previous King and the thronement of present King was accomplished at same year. On this principle, the current chronological table can't escape the blame to make the year of the accession to the throne and the death of Hotae King wrongly.
'The record of the period of Hotae King in Goguryo chapter and the Goguryo chronological table of Samgugsagi make clear the year of the accession to the throne(392) and the death of Hotae King(413), the current chronological table's wrong originated in which the people didn't distinguish or didn't criticize and believed blindly the record of the tombstone of Hotae King.
According to the present writer's opinion, the year of Sinmyo comes under the first year of Yung Lag, but Hotae King acceded to throne on the year of Yim Ja(壬子). The people were concerned about Yung Lag, judged for Hotae King to ascend the throne in the first year of Yung Lag. The present writer think this judgement is very hasty. The present writer think that from the year of Sinmyo, Dam Dug(談德, Hotae King's name) acted for Gogugyang King who was owing to some trouble and took care of the war to Baegje(百濟) and Wae(倭) with the excellent tactics personally, as the result he made Goguryo as a very powerful military nation, therefore the people of Goguryo counted the first year of Yung Lag from the year of Sinmyo and grasped the year of Sinmyo as the first year of Yung Lag.
We must think that the record of the year of Sinmyo is a valid evidence which Hotae King as a person of the crown prince defeated Wae's troop who invaded the peninsular of Korea. Baegje connected with Wae and turned Silla(新羅) into the officials and the people in the fifth year of Yung Lag(the fourth year of Hotae King's enthronement, 395), therefore Hotae King conquered Baegje in the sixth year of Yung Lag(396) and occupied 58 castles. It is the outline of the record in the sixth year of Hotae King's tombstone.
According to the present writer's investigation, it is not at once in the sixth year of Yung Lag that the troop of Goguryo occupied these castles from the first year of Hotae King's entronement(the second year of Yung Lag) to the fourth year of his enthronement(the fifth year of Yung Lag).
According to record of the fifth year of his tombstone, we can see a part that Baegje and Silla originally paid tribute to Goguryo as the officials and the people, when compared with Samgugsagi(三國史記), this part is quite hackeneyed expression that showes the self-respect of Goguryo, the record that the troop of Goguryo occupied 58 castles in the sixth year of Yung Lag is not worth deliberation as fact.
The location of 58 castles is not yet known, one of these castles is Gomoru castle(古牟婁城), it is recorded in Goguryo monument of Jung Won(中原高句麗碑). In connection with the location of Gomoru castle, there are three opinions, those are old castle of Eum Sung(陰城, Chung-cheong north province), castle of Dug San(德山, Chung-cheong south province) and the mount fortress wall of Gomori(古牟里, Pocheon County). According to the present writer's documentary investigation, field investigation doeume
