Hwanung descends beneath the sacred tree with companions associated with wind, rain and clouds. He oversees human affairs and becomes the father of Dangun through Ungnyeo.
Legacy
His story links heaven, nature and human society. Sinsi belongs to the foundation myth, not to a securely dated account of an ancient capital.
