| | A Concise History of Korea |
| | Koguryo also allowed Chinese culture into the kingdom, but its kings continued to worship a primitive star god called the Spirit of the Underground Passage, and claimed it as their direct ancestor. | | | Though the period after the Three Kingdoms is called the age of unified Silla, there were actually two Korean-run governments. | | | These emissaries both offered tribute in the form of splendid gifts and acknowledged the superiority of the Son of Heaven by their willingness to kowtow to him (kowtowing involved a series of ritual bows in which the supplicant prostrated himself before the throne). |

| | Hermit kingdom (Korea) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The first documented use of "hermit" to refer to Korea is in the title of William Elliot Griffis' 1882 book, Corea: The Hermit Nation. | | | The claim that Korea was a hermit kingdom has increasingly been seen as erroneous in recent times. | | | The writer of the book had never visited Korea, did not speak the language, and had no first-hand experience with the country. |

| | Harrold's new book, "Comrades and Strangers" (Wiley, $19.95, 415 pages), is unsurprisingly a less than critical look at the Hermit Kingdom, and will hardly provide the answers to the burning questions that the outside world is asking about the mysterious nation. | | | North Korea: New book by former propgandist offers intimate view of Seven Years in the Hermit Kingdom | | | In one frustrating example, the book makes repeated mention of a group of four American servicemen who defected to the Hermit Kingdom in the 1960s; two more crossed the Demilitarized Zone into North Korea much later on. |
