Symposium in connection with Gyeonggi Provincial Museum’s Special Exhibition on Goryeo Dogyeong (Illustrated Account of Goryeo)

The Gyeonggi Provincial Museum is holding a Special Exhibition on Goryeo Dogyeong (Illustrated Account of Goryeo) in celebration of the Commemoration of the official naming of Gyeonggi-do, and the 1100th anniversary of the foundation of the Goryeo Dynasty. In connection with this exhibition, the Gyeonggi Provincial Museum and the Korean Mediaeval History Society jointly planned a symposium that integrates research results of the historic circles. Goryeo Dogyeong (Illustrated Account of Goryeo), which is a report written by Chinese envoy Xu Jing after his business trip to Goryeo 900 years ago, is regarded as an important piece of material to show the life and culture of the Goryeo Dynasty. However, the research on the document is just being started. The symposium aims for the continuous development of research on the Goryeo period and increase the public’s interest in the period.
