Chungseon of Goryeo (20 October 1275 – 23 June 1325) (r. 1298 and 1308–1313), born Wang Won (왕원, 王謜), later changed his name to Wang Jang (왕장, 王璋), was the 26th king of the Goryeo dynasty of Korea. He is sometimes known by his Mongolian name, Ijir Bukhqa, which is rendered in hanja as Ikjiryebohwa (익지례보화, 益知禮普花). Adept at calligraphy and painting, rather than politics, he generally preferred the life of the Yuan capital Beijing to that of the Goryeo capital Kaesong. He was the eldest son of King Chungryeol; his mother was a Yuan royal, Queen Jangmok, a daughter of Khublai Khan also known by her Mongolian name/title Qutlugh-kelmysh.
