King Michōn (English: King Michōn)

Japanese: 美川王 - びせんおう（英語表記）Mi‐ch‘ŏn‐wang

? ‐331
King of Goguryeo, Korea. Reigned 300-331. Also known as King Hojo. In the Book of Liang, he is referred to as Eulbuli. In 313, the king attacked Lelang commandery and forced it to retreat to Liaodong. He later annexed Daifang commandery, putting an end to China's control over counties and prefectures that had continued since Emperor Wu of Han. After his death, the king was buried in the Micheon plains, but his grave was exhumed by the Yan army in 342. Korean academics consider Anak Tomb No. 3 in Anak County, South Hwanghae Province, to be the tomb of King Micheon after reburial, but in Japan it is considered to be the tomb of Dongsu, a refugee from Former Yan.

？‐331
朝鮮，高句麗の王。在位300‐331年。好壌王ともいう。《梁書》には乙弗利とある。王は313年に楽浪郡を攻め，これを遼東に後退させた。のちに帯方郡を併合して漢の武帝以来つづいた中国の郡県支配に終止符を打った。王は薨（こう）じて美川の原に葬られたが，342年前燕軍に墓をあばかれた。朝鮮の学界では黄海南道安岳郡の安岳3号墳を改葬後の美川王墓とみるが，日本ではこれを前燕の亡命者の冬寿の墓とみる。【浜田耕策】
