Prince Parthian who spread Soseung Buddhism to China. "Ansego".

 Ansego was originally the prince of the Sabbath Bureau (Partia). Since he was from the Sabbath Kingdom, his surname was called An. The name is Cheong, and the letter is Sego. His real name is Ancheong, and his name is Sego, and after the king's death, he handed over the throne to his uncle and gave it to his wife (some people call him Ubasae, a ritualist, not a monk).After that, he traveled to various countries and came to Nakyang (the capital of Donghan at the time) at the beginning of the East Han Hwanje (147), and worked on adversity for 22 years from the following year to the 2nd year of King Yeongje Geonnyeong (169). Since Giroudacham came to Nakyang at the end of the control (around 166), Giroud is about 20 years ahead of the Cham. In the late years of the reign of King Donghan, Ansego moved to Gangnam to escape from the rebellion as the Chinese world was engulfed in war and signs of the Three Kingdoms Period were seen. In other words, Ansego is also the first person to convey Buddhism to the Gangnam area. Although the details of his life in Gangnam are unknown, he has lived in Yeosan, Yejang (now Gangseo-seong Namchang), and Simyang (now Gangseo-seong Gut), and is said to have died in Accounting (now Jeolgangseong Soheung). When An Se-go passed by an author's street in Accounting, a fight broke out next to him, and he died of the fire caused by a wrong splash. It is known that he was a person who played a part in the spread of Buddhism in China and translated numerous Buddhist scriptures in each country's language. (But it is said that many of his reversals are not all his works.) (And since he occupies a big position in Buddhist history, numerous data are poured out from the search engine.) However, what attracts my attention more than the spread of Buddhism due to Ansego is that he was the king of the Sabbath. After his father died, he realized the fleetingness of life and handed over the throne to his uncle (in Doosan World Great White House and EnCyber, and after going through various countries, he came to China to translate Buddhist temples and spread Buddhism. Curiosity arose and investigated Parthia at the time. As Ciono said, Partia is a country with many civil wars. After the death of Pacorus II (105), the country was divided into the current Bologass III in northern Iran and Osroes in other regions. (It is also assumed that the two divided the region and played politics like Roman priest politics.) With Trajan's expedition to Parthia in 113, Parthia hides itself before the capital falls and Osroes falls. It's a meat after the death of OSROS in 129.Tes IV ascends to the throne (the two have no blood relationship). And two years later, in 131, another character named Mitridates refers to the king in the current city of Charax or Mesene near Kuwait. An unknown king is seen in coins between Mitradates IV of Ewha Womans University and his son Bologass II. His name is unknown, but he is believed to have ascended the throne in 140 AD. Bologes III in the north, unknown king in the central part, Mitradates in the south. Partia, whose threat of war against Rome was reduced by Hadrian's ascension in 117, had been divided for many years since then. Perhaps if Ansego was really a king, wouldn't he be the king who ascended to the throne in 140 and was later unknown? (There are data that Mitradates IV died in 140 (this is more dominant), and 147 (this is more dominant). I was excited about the character An Se-go, whom I came across by chance, and ran into a flood today. Regardless of the authenticity of the Ansego story, I am glad in my own way that I have learned a new aspect of exchange between Parthia and India and China.
