It will be analyzed that tombs are evidence of the lives of the people of Koguryo, and analyzed on the premise that there is a strong conservative tendency to preserve the tradition.
As a result, stone chambered tombs in the Jungwon region were constructed with in the Koguryo style, the Jungwon style, or the Koguryo and the Jungwon style together, or the non-Koguryo style was also used. Based on Koguryo-style earthenware and tomb construction methods, Koguryeo stone chamber tombs in Jungwon religion are subdivided into nine types. And each type of tomb in the Jungwon region can be given archaeological meaning in that it provides clues about the composition of residents, the route to the south of Koguryo, and the timing of their advance into the Jungwon region.
