Gojoseon (고조선, B.C. 2333- 108) is a united kingdom composed of three confederacy such as Majoseon, Jinjoseon and Beonjoseon. Three confederacy is also called as Mahan, Jinhan and Beonhan. However, they must be discriminated from Samhan, because Sanhan is established after the destruction of Gojoseon. So, three states of Gojoseon is called SamJoseon in this context. Samhan was established in Korean peninsula after Gojoseon was destroyed for remembrance of three confederacies of Gojoseon.
Majoseon was located at the Korean peninsula, Jinjoseon was located at Manchuria, and Beojoseon was located at the around of Liaoning. Because Bejoseon is close to China, it is usually called gojoseon itself when they are refer to Beonjoseon. Therefore, Gija and Wiman are caused from the misunderstanding of three confederacy of Gojoseon by ]. Actually, Dangun allowed Gija and Wiman to rule over the Beonjoseon because they are originally dong-i.
Asadal was a captial city of Jinjoseon governed by Dangun, and the other two Joseons such as Majoseon and Beonjoseon are governed by the vice Danguns.
