Template:Koreanname noimage The Dongguk Tonggam is a chronicle of early Korean history, compiled under the reign of Seongjong of Joseon, in the 15th century. The earlier works on which it may have been based have not survived. The Dongguk Tonggam is the earliest extant record to list the names of the rulers of Gojoseon after Dangun. With the rise of the Korean independence movements and modern Korean nationalism, the work assumed great symbolic importance.
