Allegiance of Joseon to Ming Dynasty
Allegiance of Joseon to Ming Dynasty brings together several realms, from 1395 to 1571. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1422, its lands covered about 6.48 million km².
One of the realms of Joseon. General Yi Seong-gye overthrew Goryeo in 1392 and founded the Joseon dynasty, which ruled Korea for five centuries from its new capital, Hanyang, today's Seoul. Joseon adopted Neo-Confucianism as its guiding philosophy, governing through a scholar-bureaucracy selected by examinations and dominated by the yangban aristocracy, while Buddhism lost its privileges.
