[KS] Source for legend of Buru going to Mount Do?

[Andrew Logie]

Dear all,

I am trying to find a source to the legend of Dan'gun sending his son Buru
 (扶婁) to Xia king Yu's (夏禹) gathering of vassals at Do mountain (塗山).

This is the original passage:  夏禹十八年, 會諸候於塗山, 檀君遣子扶婁, 朝焉.

The episode is borrowed by Sin Chaeho in his *Joseon-sanggo-sa* <조선상고사> in
the 3rd section of the 2nd main chapter (used as a device through which Old
Joseon transmitted civilization to China).  He attributes it to the
*Gogi*(古記) which made me think it may be from the
*Samguk-sagi* or* Samguk-yusa*, but it doesn't seem to be there.

Searching on the Korea History Database (http://db.history.go.kr/) the
passage is found in two obscure places.

1) In a cross reference (校勘) footnote of the <淸史稿>  朝鮮列傳 which says:

『淸史』에는 ‘朝鮮自檀君開國 遠友帝堯二十五年戊辰 禹會諸侯於塗山 檀君遣子扶婁朝焉 箕封以後 史傳詳矣’라고 되어 있다.

In which case, what book is the original『淸史』?

 2) In a passage from Yi Won-ik's (李源益1792-1854) 『東史約』which seems to imply
it coming from the *Samguk-yusa*.


Then, separately, I'm familiar with Yu Deukgong (柳得恭 1748-1807) citing the
same passage in his <二十一都懷古詩> poetry cycle which he attributes to a
*Dongsa*<東史> .  According to modern footnotes, this*
Dongsa*, is most likely to be Hong Manjong's (洪萬宗 1643-1725) <東國歷代總目> which
would seem to be the earliest surviving source carrying the same passage.
 Unfortunately I don't have a copy to check where Hong attributes it.

So, any suggestions on what the original source might have been?  What
major sources could have survived until late C16th only to be lost?

And apologies in advance if I've overlooked anything very obvious (perhaps
it is somewhere in the Yusa).

sincerely
Andrew Logie
