Gang Ho-gyeong

Gang Ho-gyeong was the first and oldest ancestor of Taejo who established Goryeo dynasty. His name can be found in Korean historical literature such as Goryeosa and Pyeonnyeon-Tong-Long (ko:편년통록).

The daedongbo (a compilation genealogy book of related clans) of the Sinchon Gang clan claims that Gang Hogyeong was the 67th generation descendant of Gang Hu, a grandson of King Wen of the Zhou dynasty. However, the historical veracity of that claim cannot be verified. Furthermore, the true progenitor of the Sinchon Gang clan is considered to be Gang Ji-yeon, a 14th generation descendant of Gang Hogyeong, not Gang Hogyeong himself. According to another source, Gang Ho-gyeong is considered the progenitor of the Sinchon Gang clan, but Gang Ji-yeon, who is considered the middle progenitor, is from whom modern people with the Gang surname descend from.
