Dae Mu-ye (aka King Mu,) was the second king of the Balhae state from 718 – 737 CE. Although claimed by the Chinese as a Chinese state, Balhae was established by former Goguryeo general Dae Jo-yeong (father of Dae Mu-ye) after defeating the Tang forces at Tianmenling in 698 CE. Goguryeo was a Korean kingdom from 37 BCE to 668 CE and the shortened form of the name, Goryeo, is where the English, Korea, comes from.
