Chumo (Korean: 추모; Hanja: 鄒牟), posthumously Chumo the Saint (추모성왕; 鄒牟聖王), was the founding monarch of the kingdom of Goguryeo, and was worshipped as a god-king by the people of Goguryeo and Goryeo.[1]Chumo was originally a Buyeo slang for an excellent archer, which became his name later.[note 1] He was commonly recorded as Jumong (주몽; 朱蒙) by various Chinese literatures including history books written by Northern Qi and Tang—the name became dominant in future writings including Samguk Sagi and Samguk Yusa. Chumo's title was changed to Dongmyeong the Saint (동명성왕; 東明聖王), literally translated to the Brilliant Saintly King of the East, at some point of time prior to compilation of Samguk Sagi (1145). His other names include Chumong (추몽; 鄒蒙),[note 2]Jungmo (중모; 中牟),[note 3]Nakamu,[note 4] or Tomo.[note 5] In Samguk Sagi, he was recorded as Jumong with the surname Go (고; 高), and was also known as Junghae (중해; 衆解) or Sanghae (상해; 象解).[3]
