King Jungheung

King Jungheung of Hwaryeong (28 October 1795 – 20 November 1880) was the Xnd ruler of the Hwaryeong Dynasty of Jinguk, reigning from 1842 until his death in 1880. The King's era name, "Jungheung," (中興, 중흥) means "Middle Prosperity," reflecting his idealism towards moderating the political divisions and rivalries among the conservative and progressive factions on issues of political and social reformation. 
Contemporary scholars are divided on the topic of King Jungheung's reign. While historians generally agree that he upheld the stability of Jinguk during a difficult political environment, many scholars contend that the unwillingness of the King to take positions on contentious issues created an even more polarized political environment for his successor. Historians, however, have not questioned King Jungheung's commitment to the welfare of his citizens, as well as the global cause of anti-imperialism.
