Person
Mun of Balhae
Mun, personal name Dae Heummu, was the third king of Balhae, reigning from 737 to 793. He made peace with Tang China, adopted Tang institutions and learning, and moved the capital first to the Central Capital and around 756 to Sanggyeong, laid out on the plan of Chang'an. From 762 the Tang recognised him as king of Bohai, and his long reign laid the foundations of the kingdom's prosperity.
