According to the research held in 2015, the number of Cheongju Yang clan’s member was 38161. Their founder was Yang Gi who was a 43 th descendant of Yang Zhen in Han dynasty. When Yang Gi was a Jinzi Guanglu Daifu (Hanja: 金紫光祿大夫), Princess Noguk had a marriage to an ordinary person planned by Gongmin of Goryeo. Because of this, Yang Gi entered Goryeo as a fatherly master of the Queen. Yang Gi became Gongsin (Hanja: 功臣) because he made a lot of contribution to diplomacy in Goryeo and Yuan dynasty. Yang Gi’s descendant founded Cheongju Yang clan and made Cheongju, Cheongju Yang clan’s Bon-gwan.[1][2]
