About Gorguryeo

Whether Gaogoli (Goguryeo) is a Korean kingdom is debatable. Yes, it was one of 3 kingdoms of Korea, but it originated in northeastern China. It had different culture , tradition, and language from other Korean kingdoms, so it was a independent kingdom. Both Korea and China claim Gorguryeo to be their's, so it shouldn't be called a "Korean kingdom" before they find the agreement. I agree to put Korean names here, but this tomb is in China, and Gorguryeo history is shared by both China and Korea, so I prefer to highlight it's value as a Chinese historical site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.95.8.191 (talk) 01:33, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Isn't this also called the "Dance Tomb"?

I believe the interior of the tomb has a mural program worth discussing as well. I'm not expert enough on it to do so, but there are pictures of the "Parthian Shot," and "5 Dancing Figures" in works like Swann's "Art of China, Korea, and Japan," and van Zile's "Perspectives on Korean Dance" that identify these paintings as located in a tomb in this area. Someone with more background should perhaps address this if so, but it would be good to at least have the existence of the paintings confirmed as belonging to this site.
