Gija Joseon (around 1126 BC - 194 BC) describes the period after the arrival of Gija in northern Korean peninsula. It is usually considered a part of the Gojoseon period (2333 BC - 108 BC) of Korean history. Chinese records describe Gija as the paternal uncle of the last emperor of the China|Chinese Shang Dynasty, the tyrannical King Zhou. Gija was imprisoned by the tyrant until the downfall of Shang Kingdom, when King Wu of Zhou released him. Not wanting to be the subject of the Zhou Kingdom, Gija led 5,000 to present-day Korea and became the king of Gija Joseon. Some Korean scholars question this narrative, because it is only first found in Chinese records around the third century BC, when China was battling Gojoseon, and the name of the Korean kingdom did not change upon Gija's alleged reign. The Geneaology of the Seonwu Clan of Taewon (태원선우씨세보, 太原鮮于氏世譜) lists the names of 41 rulers of Gija Joseon and their periods of reign, although not widely accepted by mainstream historians. Gija Joseon was succeeded by Wiman Joseon. History of Korea List according to Book of Roots of House Seonwu of Taewon
