High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yejong of Goryeo (1079-1122, r. 1105-1122) was the 16th monarch of the Korean Goryeo dynasty. He was the eldest son of king Sukjong and Queen Myeongui. He succeeded Sukjong upon his father's death. Among his first decrees, in 1106, was an order breaking up the empire into new administrative divisions. He was a great promoter of Daoism, preferring its precepts over those of the previously ascendant court religion of Buddhism. During his reign, Daoist court rituals were introduced from Song Dynasty China; many Daoist practices and institutions were established and began to flourish. Although the early 12th century was a relatively stable period for Korea, Yejong did have to deal with Jurchen incursions in the northern part of the kingdom. He refused the diplomatic overtures of the Jin Dynasty, a rival to China that had been founded in 1115 by the Jurchens, instead sending a large army to repel Jin attacks in Korea's northern regions.
