Popularization of Mongol Language and Culture in the Late Koryŏ Period
Journal Title: International Journal of Korean History - Year 2006, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
The Mongol conquest in the thirteenth century was accompanied by great destruction of life and property, but the advent of the Pax Mongolica opened an unprecedented opportunity for open and free exchange of peoples, ideas, and commodities in the Eurasian continent. The Mongol empire brought together many diverse ethnic groups under a single political entity and promoted diffusion of various cultures across Asia. As the ruling group, the Mongols exerted greater cultural impact on conquered peoples, and even the Chinese, who have historically discounted foreign influence and emphasized sinicization of conquerors, were heavily impacted by nomadic Mongol culture.
