Unifying all the tribes of this region , the Packche kingdom built its royal seat in the Kumma area and established Miruksa Temple . A rich Buddhist culture flourished until Paekche ' s defeat by the allied forces of the Shilla kingdom and Tang China in 659 . Even after this defeat , the royal family of the Paekche held out in Churyusong Fortress ( the present Ugum mountain Fortress ) near the estuary of the Paek - kang River and struggled to regain power , but their efforts came to naught . The region became part of the Unified Shilla kingdom for more than two centuries . A rebel leader named Kyon Hwon established the Later Paekche kingdom in a limited portion of this southwest region ( the present North Cholla Province and South Cholla Province ) of the Korean peninsula , making Chonju its capital in 892 , but his son Shin - gom brought about its fall . In 936 the founder of the Koryo dynasty , Wang Kon , incorporated it into his kingdom . The Honam area was renamed Kangnam - do during the reign of King Songjong of the Koryo dynasty . When Chonju became the gubernatorial seat , the province came to be called Cholla Province . Near the end of the Koryo dynasty the Chonju Yi clan , who had long resided in the Chonju area , moved to Hamgyong - do Province . A descendant , Yi Songgye , founded the Choson dynasty in 1392 . As the cradle of the Choson dynasty , Chonju contains rich historical vestiges , including the royal family ' s Kyonggijon shrine and Chogyong - dan Altar . ������ < 어휘 ․ 구문 > ․ domain : 영토 , 범위 ․ tribal : 부족 의 , 종족 의 cf ) tribe : 부족 ․ era : 시대 , 연대 ․ flourish : 번창 하 다 ․ the allied forces of Shilla kingdom and tang China : 나당 연합군 ․ estuary : 강어귀 , 후미 ․ struggle : 발버둥 치 다 , 싸우 다 , 애쓰 다 ․ come to naught : 허 사이다 = come to nothing , end in failure , be in vain ex ) All his work came to naughtwhen the storm destroyed his crops . ․ bring about : 야기 하 다 , 해내 다 ․ incorporate : 통합 [ 합병 ] 시키 다 ․ gubernatorial : 지사 ( governor ) 의 , 지방 장관 의 ․ clan : 씨족 , 일족 ․ reside : 야기 하 다 , 해내 다 ․ descendant : 후손 ( ≠ ancestor , forefather ) ․ cradle : 요람 , 발상지 ․ vestige : 자취 , 흔적 , 모습 ( 2 ) Indigenous Folklore ArtsWith its favorable climate and abundant products , North Cholla Province developed various cultural traditions and its residents enjoyed a life of plenty . However , after long friction between the landowner and tenant classes , the gap between high and low widened . The people of this province were once called " weeping willows swaying in a light wind " because of their relaxed minds and carefree way of life . The environmental background nurtured creative minds which cultivated various folk arts , music , literature , and religion . Some people have misinterpreted the depiction of Cholla Province ' s people as " weeping willows swaying in a light wind " to mean people with no firm convictions .
