Everything about Daifang totally explained
Daifang Commandery was one of the remnants of the
Four Commanderies of Han China in the
Korean peninsula.
History
Gongsun Kang, a
warlord in
Liaodong, separated the southern half from the
Lelang commandery and established the Daifang commandery in 204 to make administration more efficient. He controlled southern natives with Daifang instead of Lelang.
In 236 under the order of Ming Di of
Kingdom of Wei,
Sima Yi conquered the Gongsun family and annexed Liaodong, Lelang and Daifang to Wei. A dispute over the control of southern natives caused their revolt. The armies of Lelang and Daifang eventually stifled it.
The Daifang commandery was inherited by the
Jin Dynasty. Due to bitter civil wars, Jin became unable to control the Korean peninsula at the beginning of the 4th century. Zhang Tong (張統) broke away from Jin in Lelang and Daifang. After
Luoyang, the capital of Jin, was occupied by the
Xiongnu in 311, he went for help to
Murong Hui, a
Xianbei warlord, with his subjects in 314.
Goguryeo annexed Lelang and Daifang soon after that. The Chinese residents maintained their own cultures for a century.
Area
The Daifang commandery was located in Hwanghaedo. According to a Chinese official chronicle, the
Book of Jin (晉書), it had the following seven
prefectures (縣):
The capital was put in the Daifang prefecture. The controversy over its location isn't resolved yet. Chinese historians believe that it was on the
Han River, while archaeologists and Korean historians insist that a site of a city in
Hwanghae province is the capital.
