Since then, Joseon continued its existence as a kingdom until its fall in the hands of Han troops in 108 B.C. However, Sima Qian does not provide too many details of the State entity. Besides, the modern Korean historiography traditionally established the preexistence of the Joseon Kingdom back to the 24th Century B.C., since the foundation of the State by Dangun. Finally, more recent scholarship raises questions even on the very historical existence of Joseon as a State. This article systematizes these perspectives by reviewing: a) The Historical Memoirs and the Sinological literature, and b) the specialized academic literature on Korea. The paper implies therefore a first ordering of these perspectives within our milieu, helping to understand the origins of the State in the Korean Peninsula. Las Memorias Históricas de Sima Qian describen la asunción al trono de Joseon por parte de Wiman en 194 a.C., en el norte de la península coreana. A partir de allí, Joseon continuó su existencia como reino hasta su caída a manos de tropas Han, en 108 a.C. Sin embargo, Sima Qian no da demasiados detalles acerca de la entidad del Estado. Además, la historiografía coreana moderna establecía tradicionalmente la preexistencia de Joseon hasta el siglo XXIV a.C., desde la fundación del Estado por Dangun. Finalmente, trabajos más recientes ponen en cuestión la existencia histórica misma de Joseon como Estado. Este artículo sistematiza estas perspectivas revisando: a) las Memorias Históricas y la literatura sinológica, y b) La literatura académica especializada sobre Corea. El trabajo supone por ende un primer ordenamiento de estas perspectivas en nuestro medio, aportando a la comprensión de los orígenes del Estado en la península coreana.
