Order of the Golden Ruler or the Order of the Taejo is the highest Order of chivalry in Korean Empire. It was established in April 17, 1900 by Gojong of Korea, 4 years after he established Korean Empire. However as Korean Empire declined, this order was given to a lot of people who visited Korean Empire.[1]

History

Medal of the Order of the Golden Ruler.

Establishing Europe-like orders was something to do for Gojong of Korea. Gojong had considered establishing orders from summer of 1899.[2] He finally decided to establish orders in April 17, 1900. Grand Cordon of the Order of the Golden Ruler was selected to become the highest order. The first recipients was Gojong of Korea, Sunjong of Korea, and Yi Un. Gojong personaly said that golden ruler illustrates the Taejo of Joseon having a dream of it before he established Joseon. He also included that by honoring people who worked for Korea in this way, Taejo of Joseon will be happy too.[2] The first foreigner to get this order was Prince Henry of Prussia. He got this for his vist to Korean Empire. For 10 years, 27 order of the golden ruler was awarded.
