Hello, I am Yejin Choi, a sophomore at Seoul International School. I am very interested in learning about history, and the ancient artifacts of Gyeongju especially piqued my interest. I took the initiative to learn more about these historical remains, and so I decided to translate the descriptions for each piece. I hope to be of help to English-speaking visitors to Gyeongju so that they too can understand the beautiful history of the city. Bulguksa Temple was built at the request of Kim Dae-seong in the 10th year of King Gyeongdeok`s reign (751) of Unified Silla. It is the place where the spiritual world of the people of Silla, who wanted to realize the utopia—the Buddhist Elysium where the past, present, and future Buddhas live—is well revealed. According to 『Samguk Yusa』, Kim Dae-seong built Seokguram Grotto for his parents in his previous life and Bulguksa Temple for his parents in his present life. However, he could not finish building it until he died, and after that, it was completed by the Silla Dynasty and used as a temple to pray for the blessing of the country. Dabotap and Seokgatap (three-story stone pagoda of Bulguksa Temple, Gyeongju) are the most representative stone pagodas in Korea, and their heights are similar at 10.29m and 10.75m, respectively. The two pagodas stand facing each other on the east and west sides of the courtyard between Daeungjeon Hall, the main temple, and Jahamun Gate in the temple, and the eastern pagoda is the Dabotap Pagoda. Dabotap can be said to represent a special type of pagoda, and Seokgatap to represent a general type of stone pagoda in Korea. Looking at Seokgatap, it is clear that it is a three-story pagoda built on a two-tiered stylobate, but it is difficult to count the number of floors in Dabotap. Stone steps are provided on all sides on the ten(十)-shaped flat stylobate, and square handrails are placed around the octagonal pagoda body.It is estimated that the pagoda was built in the 10th year of King Gyeongdeok of Unified Silla (751) when Bulguksa Temple was founded. The pagoda is an outstanding work that expresses the complex structure of wooden architecture, demonstrating the essence of the art of Unified Silla in the 8th century in that the square, octagon, and circle are organized in a single pagoda, and that the length, width, and thickness of each part are uniformly built.The Dabotap conveys the sorrow of having been deprived of the sovereignty of the country by Japanese imperialism. Around 1925, the Japanese completely dismantled and repaired the pagoda, but there is no record of this. In addition, the sarira, sarira device, and other relics that were supposed to be placed in the pagoda all disappeared in the process, their whereabouts unknown. Also, three of the four stone lions placed on the stone steps of the stylobate were plundered by Japanese imperialism, and while efforts to recover them have been made for a long time, only one stone lion was found.
