As To The Southern Part Of Corea, It
Was Left To The King Of Corea, Who, However, Was A Vassal
Of the Mongols."
(Palladius, 32.) The king of Corea (Ko rye, Kao-li) was in 1288
Chyoung ryel wang (1274-
1298); the capital was Syong-to, now Kai syeng
(K'ai-ch'eng). - H. C.]
BARSKUL, "Leopard-Lake," is named in Sanang Setsen (p. 217), but seems
there to indicate some place in the west of Mongolia, perhaps the Barkul
of our maps. This Barskul must have been on the Manchu frontier. [There
are in the Yuen-shi the names of the department of P'u-yue-lu, and of
the place Pu-lo-ho, which, according to the system of Chinese
transcription, approach to Barscol; but it is difficult to prove this
identification, since our knowledge of these places is very scanty; it
only remains to identify Barscol with Abalahu, which is already known; a
conjecture all the more probable as the two names of P'u-yue-lu and
Pu-lo-ho have also some resemblance to Abalahu. (Palladius, 32.) Mr. E.
H. Parker says (China Review, xviii. p. 261) that Barscol may be Pa-la
ssu or Bars Koto [in Tsetsen]. "This seems the more probable in that Cauly
and Chorcha are clearly proved to be Corea and Niuche or Manchuria, so that
Bars Koto would naturally fall within Nayan's appanage." - H. C.]
The reading of the fourth name is doubtful, Sichuigiu, Sichingiu (G.
T.), Sichin-tingiu etc. The Chinese name of Mukden is Shing-king, but
I know not if it be so old as our author's time.
