Later Parhae
former state
Later Parhae or Later Bohai (928–935) was a state hypothesized to have existed in Manchuria. It emerged after Parhae (Bohai) was destroyed by the Liao dynasty. Later Parhae is considered by some to be the first of several successor states to Parhae after its fall to the Liao dynasty in 926.
The existence of Later Parhae was first proposed by Japanese scholar Hino Kaizaburo in 1943 and subsequently supported by some South Korean scholars. Outside of South Korea, "Later Parhae" is usually understood as a name for the kingdom of Dongdan or other polities on the former territory of Parhae.
History
In 926, Parhae was annexed by the Khitan-led Liao dynasty, incorporated into the Liao vassal Dongdan Kingdom. The conquered people of Parhae immediately began rebelling against the Liao dynasty. Starting in 927, the Khitans had begun to hunt down and execute all members of the royal family in order to destroy any chance of a new ruler to take the throne. However, several members of the royal family survived. Among them were Crown Prince Dae Gwang-hyeon.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Later Parhae” as former state. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as former state. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q703195. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1943.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
