According to the Korean historical record, Samguk sagi, written in 1145, the geomungo was invented by prime minister Wang San-ak, who had received a Chinese zither called a guqin as a gift. In Goguryeo, an oboe called a piri, a lute called a pipa, and a zither that is still used today called a geomungo were popular instruments. Each kingdom was known for favoring different musical instruments. The Three Kingdoms of Korea refers to the period from 57 BCE to 668 CE when the Korean peninsula was ruled by three kingdoms: Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Tomb murals and ceramics from this period depict string instruments with complex features that suggest the instruments were quite developed. It is believed that Korean people practiced shamanistic rituals involving music at agricultural festivals. Not much is known about music from the Proto-Three Kingdoms of Korea period (before 57 BCE).
