In Korea there was a system which was called the " Gun-ken " system as well as in China. It was similar to the Chinese one in its form, but very different in its substance. The " Gun-ken " system of China was a system of the local administrative division, but the Korean one indicated the grade of resident castles of the powerful or the less powerful kindred communities, so that it showed the title of the status. It was a hierarchal organization of the powerful and the less powerful kindred commu-nities as a whole state. This organization consisted of many communities such as " Shu " (_??_), "Fu" (_??_), " Gun " (_??_), " Ken" (_??_), " Kyo " (_??_), " Bukyoku (_??__??_), etc.. In order to prove this issue we must research into the " Gun-ken " system from variaus points. As the first step to our study this article intends to prosecute the research on the formation process of " Fu " system at the time of the early " Koryo " dynasty, and to clarlify that "Fu" was the appellation of the resident castle of the powerful kindred community, to whom variaus kindred communities were subordinated in a hierarchal order.
