Hyŏngnyŏn Chŏng (Шаблон:Korean) was a Goryeo scholar and court official who is known for writing the Kyunyŏ-jŏn, a biography on the Goryeo monk Kyunyŏ.
Biography
Due to Hyŏngnyŏn Chŏng's non-Korean family name, Hyŏngnyŏn, it is thought that his ancestors were originally nomads, originating from either China or from the Khitans, who later naturalized as Koreans.[1] The Hyongnyon family name traced back to the Xiongnu family name Helian, first adopted by Helian Bobo, the founder of Helian Xia.[2]
Sometime prior to 1075, Hyongnyon Chong passed the civil service examination and held the title of chinsa. In 1074, after being dissatisfied with an earlier biography on Kyunyŏ written by a scholar named Kang Yu-hyŏn (Шаблон:Korean), Hyongnyon began work on his own biography on Kyunyŏ. The following year in 1075, he finished his biography of Kyunyŏ, known as the Taehwaŏm sujwa wŏnt'ong yangjung taesa Kyunyŏ-jŏn, often commonly known by the shortened form of Kyunyŏ-jŏn.[2][3] In 1100, Hyongnyon was sent to the Liao court as a Goryeo envoy bearing gifts. In November 1105, Hyongnyon was appointed as the Superintendent Examiner of the Scholars of Chang-ak Pavilion (Шаблон:Korean).[2][4]
