The process of establishing Goguryeo's first capital city.

 As a result of finding out why the South and North Korean historical circles chose the location of the first capital of Goguryeo, Zolbon, as a Hwanin, there is no other data other than the content that "it should be a prominent place as it is the first capital of Goguryeo." In order to locate the first capital, there must be content to support with literary archaeological data. However, such content is not visible. There are not one or two famous places in illuminating Goguryeo history, but it is not known why Hwanin was called a famous place and the place was designated as a Zolbon. If the literature archaeological data cannot be found, the first capital city is important, so I think it would have been better to say unknown location. However, it is also true that even a single step in efforts to interpret Goguryeo history cannot be taken without determining its location because the first capital is unknown. Therefore, it was a very urgent problem to decide the first capital first. Therefore, some of the preceding researchers gathered to discuss several candidate sites classified as "famous places" and chose the patient as the most likely place compared to the Samguk fraud articles, and it is judged that they decided to mark them as "Sadness." Since then, this monument has hardened like a orthodoxy and studied Goguryeo history based on it, and the results of these studies have accumulated and gathered to the point where it should now be a orthodoxy or orthodoxy that should not be corrected. This is the location of the first capital, Zolbon, which was roughly set, and more than 55 years have passed without trying to find data and determine the exact location. In the meantime, many researchers used to study Goguryeo history to fix the location of the first capital to Hwanin and ignore the records of classics if there were parts that did not fit well. This was treated as if they had achieved as great research results as they had developed a new theory, and all the researchers who were interested in it entered the competition to prove that the existing records were wrong. Thus, the more we proved that the existing records were wrong, the higher the evaluation became. Now no one can stand up to this, and the trend of relentlessly cooperating and making it difficult to preserve its place has been implicitly established. This was not for the benefit of other countries and was not done at the request of other countries, but other countries encouraged them by giving them a degree and treating them more closely. Those who have not been treated like this have come to feel inferior. It is time to think about whether it is right to think about it and focus only on one's own work, not my own business, even though such a small group who turned a blind eye to the people is distorting long history. If the location of Goguryeo's first capital was Hwanin, it would be interpreted that King Yuri's march further west from Yangmaek, Chido, where he made Yangmaek to the west, and take away Goguryeo-hyeon from Hyeondo-gun. Still, there is no one who can object to it. That's why the location of the first capital is important, but previous researchers either rushed too much or postponed it to each other. If you interpret Goguryeo history in this way, you will have no choice but to interpret it as a matter in North Hamgyeong Province due to the chaos in the location of Eastern Yeo, where the third king of Daemushin hit Dongbuyeo. Since Jumong escaped from Dongbuyeo and came down to the southeast to establish Goguryeo in Zolbon, there was Dongbuyeo in the northwest of Zolbon. However, in terms of the results of the studies so far, Hwan-in is considered a small copy and the location of Dongbuyeo is found and discussed in the direction of Hamgyeong-do. Even if Hwanin is Zolbon, there was Dongbuyeo in the northwest, so it is reasonable to visit Dongbuyeo in the direction of Shenyang. No one did so even though this was fully understandable. This may be due to the reputation of early researchers. Academic theory is there to be overturned. Why can't Einstein's theory overturn the claim of a particular researcher who preceded us in a world that overturns Einstein's theory? It's not too late. From now on, if you accept the new theory and proceed with new research by revising the wrong parts based on the new theory, you can go ahead of any other neighboring country. Therefore, it should be recognized as soon as possible that the location of this important first capital, Zolbon, is not a patient, but a nursing care. Even from an archaeological point of view, there are no Goguryeo cultural relics before the 2nd century, including the 2nd century, said Wang Geon-gun, director of the Gilimseong Museum.
