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, originally Buyeo slang for an excellent archer, later became his name.[note 1] He was commonly recorded as Jumong (주몽; 朱蒙) by various Chinese sources, including history books written by Northern Qi and Tang. This name became dominant in future writings including the Samguk sagi and the Samguk yusa. Chumo's title was changed to Dongmyeong the Saint (동명성왕; 東明聖王), literally translating to the Brilliant Saintly King of the East, at some point in time prior to the compilation of the 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 the 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]
