The first definite statement with regard to a knowledge of the art of writing in Corea belongs to A.D. 372, the same year in which Buddhism was introduced from Tsin in Western China. The standard history of ancient Corea, known as the Tong-kuk-thong-kam, or, more briefly, the Tongkam, informs us that in this year “Kokuryö established a High School, in which pupils were taught.”
page 507 note 1 Corea was at this time divided into three kingdoms—Kokury⊙, Pèkché, and Silla.
