Chinese historian Jin Yufu (1887–1962) was aware that historical documents claim that Hanpu was either from Goryeo or from Silla, and found both views worthy of consideration. Many historians have accepted the claim found in "Records of Things Heard in Songmo" and other sources like Ma Duanlin's "Wenxian Tongkao" (1317) that Hanpu was "a man of Silla". The annals of King Yejong (r. 1105–1122) in the "History of Goryeo" report that Wanyan Wugunai's son Yingge (盈歌; 1053-1103) considered Goryeo as his "parent country" () because his clan's ancestor Hanpu had come from Goryeo.
