History
eeditThe Lelang Commandery wis, accordin tae the Beuk o Han, componit o 27 destricts an haed a population o ower 406,748 fowk. Locatit on the Taedong River at the approximate location o modren Pyongyang, aircheological evidence suggests that the seat o the commandery haed been muivit tae this destrict here efter the destruction o Wanggeom-seong, the auld Koguryo caipital at Pyongyang an is claimit tae hae been oreeginal seat o the Lelang commandery.[1]
Durin the Japanese colonial period, the aurie wis pairt o Taedong. As Pyongyang grew an annexed mony umwhile pairts o Taedong Coonty, the aurie wis later split up Pyongyang's Dong-guyok, Kangnam-gun, an Chunghwa-gun. Nakrang-guyok wis offeecially creatit as a separate destrict in 1959.
The destrict is famous for the lairge nummer o Koguryo tombs which litter the aurie, mony o which wur first discovered bi the Japanese in the early 1910s (see Nakrang Tombs). Japanese airchaeologists Torrii Ryuzo an Imanishi Ryu, in pairticular, wur instrumental in the tomb excavations an in identifeein the Nakrang Earthen Castle in Tosong-ri as the seat o the commandery. Ower 1,500 tombs in aw hae been locatit, wi saxty-three alane locatit in juist ane destrict (Chongbaek-dong).[2] Housomeivver, North Korea claims that aw tombs are in fact o the Koguryo period, as it denies the existence o the Cheenese dounset o Lelang, claimin it wis a Koguryo ceety-state, an that the thoosans o Cheenese airtifacts merely represent the burgeonin trade that the State o Nakrang haed wi the Han.[3]
