naemul of silla

naemul of silla -lrb- died 402 -rrb- -lrb- r. 356 -- 402 -rrb- was the 17th ruler of the korean kingdom of silla .
he was the nephew of king michu .
he married michu 's daughter , lady boban .
he is given the title `` isageum '' , the same one borne by earlier rulers , in the `` samguk sagi '' ; he is given the title `` maripgan '' , borne by later rulers , in the `` samguk yusa '' .
he is the first to bear the title `` maripgan '' in any record .
he is also the first king to appear by name in chinese records .
it appears that there was a great influx of chinese culture into silla in his period , and that the widespread use of chinese characters began in his time .
naemul sent a tribute mission to the king of early jin in 381 .
naemul 's later reign was troubled by recurrent invasions by wa japan and the northern malgal tribes .
this began with a massive japanese incursion in 364 , which was repulsed with great loss of life .
