H6. or H5-2. 1247-1309, Soon(순, 順) (Nul’s 2nd Son), Feudal Lord in Shenyang

• Soon was the 2nd son of Nul, and after received the title of a Feudal Lord (a person who had a certain territory in the feudal era and had the power to rule the people in the territory) who ruled over 1,000 generations of officials, soldiers, and civilians in the Shenyang region(瀋陽潞 管軍民千戶) of the Yuan Dynasty. In Goryeo, Soon served as Samjungdaegwang Munhachanseongsa (Minister) and Pan Yeuisasa Sanghogun (Major General). According to Yodongrok (records of the Liaodong region, east of the Liao River), Soon was Daejanggun (currently, a Brigadier General) who contributed to the policies of the Liaodong Grand Commander (the general commander of the Liaodong region) after the Feudal Lord in Shenyang. Soon’s spouse’s surname was Oh. Soon’s spouse’s grave was in Jungwon(中原, Luoyang Basin in Henan). At that time, all continents occupied by the Yuan Dynasty meant Jungwon, so the original meaning of Jungwon was the Luoyang Basin, but the tomb of Soon's wife refers to Shenyang, the tomb of Soon.

• The tomb of Soon is in the north of Baekan-dong, Shenyang. Soon’s day of the ancestral rite was April 19, 1280 (May 19, 1280 lunar year庚辰 四月 十九日), and it was enshrined in Ori-dong, Geoncheon-myeon, Yangju County(楊洲 乾川面 吾利洞). It is currently located in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province. There was an error when we see that Soon and Ryang's ancestral rites and worship days are the same. The place where the spirits of ancestors come during ancestral rites was called an ancestral or spirit tablet . Myo (廟) or Tomb room (廟室) is a shrine where ancestral rites are held with 'An ancestral or spirit tablet'. 

• If Soon went to Yuan as an envoy to Goryeo, held a government post in Yuan, and lived in Yuan, there could be various reasons. Diplomatic purpose: It had the purpose of maintaining relations and promoting exchanges with foreign countries. Military purpose: During the Goryeo Dynasty, military conflicts with the Yuan Dynasty were frequent. From time to time, Goryeo sent envoys to the Yuan Dynasty to negotiate or hold certain government posts to protect Goryeo interests within the Yuan Dynasty. Social Mobility and Opportunity: It may be the case that Soon gets recognition and opportunities in the Yuan Dynasty because of her abilities and achievements. This social shift could have enhanced an ancestor's career and status, and it could also have a positive effect on his family or descendants. Due to the above reasons, it is possible that Soon, as a Goryeo person, lived in the Yuan Dynasty as an envoy from Goryeo.

• Nul’s 1st son, Seok (碩 H5-1), was separated into the Hwangju (黃州) Byun Clan.

• Nul’s 2nd son, Soon (順 H5-2), was separated into the Wonju (原州) Byun Clan.

 

H7. or H5-2-1. 1264-1338, Ryang(량, 諒) Feudal Lord in Shenyang

• Ryang was the 1st son of Soon, and succeeded to the Feudal Lord in Shenyang (瀋陽潞 管軍民千戶) in Yuan. Ryang was a contributed person of Seonggeunikjo (This title recognizes their loyalty, virtue, and public achievements, and is used to enhance their honor and status) in Goryeo and received the Byeoksangsamhan Samjungdaegwang Munha (title name) Pansamsasa (currently Prime Minister level) Sanghogun (currently, Major General level). Ryang’s spouse’s surname was Kwak. Ryang’s spouse’s grave was in Jungwon(中原, Louyang Basin). At that time, all continents occupied by the Yuan Dynasty meant Jungwon, so the original meaning of Jungwon was the Luoyang Basin, but as Soon's tomb is in Shenyang, Ryang's tomb must be in Shenyang, so Ryang's wife's tomb must be in Shenyang.

• Ryang’s day of the ancestral rite was April 19, 1280 (May 19, 1280 lunar year 庚辰 四月 十九日), and it was enshrined in Ori-dong, Geoncheon-myeon, Yangju County (楊洲 乾川面 吾利洞). There was an error when we see that Soon and Ryang's ancestral rites and worship days are the same.

• After Ryang was ordered to be Feudal Lords in Shenyang of Yuan Dynasty, the reason why he was given a government post in Goryeo can be determined by various factors. Below are some of the common reasons. Loyalty and merit: It is possible that Ryang played an active role as Feudal Lords in Shenyang of Yuan Dynasty and accumulated loyalty and merit to the Yuan Dynasty. Such loyalty and merit would have been recognized in Goryeo, and he could have been given a post. Family ties and connections: Sometimes, family ties or connections can affect your ability to get a job. If Ryang had connections with an influential family in Goryeo, it is possible that he could have received an official position through this. National Policy: In the Goryeo Dynasty, there were cases in which talented people were attracted or recognized according to national policy. If Ryang had made outstanding achievements in a specific field or was evaluated as a strategically needed talent, he would have been given a position.
