Andong granted title
In times of Chinese division, Korean Kingdoms had friendly relations with neighboring states-exchange of embassies, honorific titles bestowed by the Chinese emperors, and the absence of large-scale conflicts. But, when China became unified with various states, which had been equal to Koguryo, within the territory, becoming a powerful empire, the balance broke down.

According to Sakamoto (quoted by Hirano, 1977), the rulers of Yamato were placed below the kings of Koguryeo and Paekche because when King was given the title
of An-dong jiang-jun in A.D. 462, according to Song-shu, the king of Koguryeo [Changsu: A.D. 413-491] bore the title of Zheng-dong jiang-jun and the king of Paekche [Cheonji: A.D. 405-420] Zhen-dong da-jiang-jun.
