Gang Ho-gyeong (Korean: 강호경; Hanja: 康虎景) was the first and oldest ancestor of Taejo who established Goryeo dynasty. His name can be found in Korean historical literature such as Goryeosa and Pyeonnyeon-Tong-Long (ko:편년통록).
The daedongbo (a compilation genealogy book of related clans) of the Sinchon Gang clan claims that Gang Hogyeong was the 67th generation descendant of Gang Hu (Korean: 강후; Hanja: 康侯), a grandson of King Wen of the Zhou dynasty. However, the historical veracity of that claim cannot be verified.[1] Furthermore, the true progenitor of the Sinchon Gang clan is considered to be Gang Ji-yeon, a 14th generation descendant of Gang Hogyeong, not Gang Hogyeong himself.[2] According to another source, Gang Ho-gyeong is considered the progenitor of the Sinchon Gang clan, but Gang Ji-yeon, who is considered the middle progenitor, is from whom modern people with the Gang surname (Korean: 강; Hanja: 康) descend from.[3]
