Sinsedong 7-storied Pagoda

The seven-story brick tower in Sinsedong, 16.8 meters high and 7.75 meters wide, is the largest and oldest brick tower in Korea and has been designated as the No. 16 National Treasure. The area where this pagoda is located is called "Bahung-ri", and it is inferred that the pagoda belongs to Bahungsa Temple built during the unified Silla period in the 8th century. But apart from this tower, the temple has no remains. There are indications that the current site of the Li family's house in Gucheng is the former site of Faxing Temple. The upper part of the existing seven-story brick pagoda has disappeared, and the lower part is beautifully carved with the Buddhist patron saint.

It is the 7th-floor pagoda of the law Heungsaji Temple, which is the same body as Imcheonggak, one of Andong's representative tourist destinations. Chinese characters are difficult, but you can easily understand the meaning in the English title of explanation. It means brick, a tower made of bricks. If you look at the national treasure despite the miserable recovery of cement? I can see it, but it is a trace that was conserved during the Japanese colonial era. Also, due to the characteristics of the tower, it is very vulnerable to vibration and natural disasters. The government, the Korean Railroad Administration, and Andong are suffering from problems. This is because the Central Line Railway passes by. Treating and restoring the national treasure seems urgent. Please take a look around the Imcheonggak. In particular, the podium below, restored to cement, remains the art of masonry, which may have been finely carved, despite the traces of the years. :)

It is not well known as a national treasure, and the management is neglected. Slightly slanted look The brick tower called the Jeon Pagoda is strange. The stone relief carved in the base stone I feel the hard work of the masons At the same time, you can feel the weather Seems to be overwhelmed by the weight of time

It is of great significance in that it is one of the largest and oldest towers remaining in Korea. It is evaluated as a document that proves that the tower was created by imitating a wooden tower, as it appears to have traces of tiles on the roof.

The pagoda was built for the purpose of enshrining the shrine of Shakyamuni. Pagoda developed from earth or brick to wooden pagoda, wooden pagoda to electric pagoda, and electric pagoda to stone pagoda. Depending on the material commonly found in the country, Chinese pagoda, stone pagoda on the Korean peninsula, and wooden pagoda were mainly built in Japan. The pagoda, which was passed down from China to the Three Kingdoms, developed as a three-story stone pagoda. Then, through the late Unified Silla period and Goryeo Dynasty, the three-story stone pagoda was transformed into a multi-story stone pagoda, and in particular, the shape of the stone pagoda with a modified shape began to appear. The multi-story stone pagoda is a 5-story stone pagoda, a 7-story stone pagoda, a 9-story stone pagoda, and a 13-story stone pagoda, and the number of floors has been changed in various ways. Appears. On the Korean peninsula, starting with the Mojeon Stone Pagoda of Bunhwangsa Temple, a tower in the shape of a jeontaek is built. Under the influence of the Bunhwangsa Mojeon Stone Pagoda, the tower is built of bricks baked with earth, and is located in Andong, an inland region of Gyeongbuk during the Unified Silla Period. Andong's representative towers include Dongbu-dong 5-story jeon pagoda (Treasure No. 56), Jotap-dong 5-story jeon pagoda (Treasure No. 57), and Beopheung-dong 7-story jeon pagoda (National Treasure No. 16). For example, the 5-story stone pagoda in Uiseong Tappri, Yeongyangbonggam 5-story Mojeon stone pagoda, Chilgok Songnimsa 5-story pagoda, and Gunwi Samjonseokgul Mojeon Stone Pagoda are mainly used in the Unified Silla Period, while the Yeoju Sinreuksa Multi-story Pagoda is the Goryeo Dynasty. The 7-story jeon pagoda of Beopheungsaji, which represents Andong, is unfortunately covered with concrete at the bottom of the jeon pagoda long ago. I am afraid that I will lose my balance anytime soon due to the sound of the iron horse. The representative pagoda of China, which is well known in Korea, was the capital of the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties, and it is probably the alternative pagoda of Daejaeunsa Temple in Xi'an (Xian by Chinese pronunciation, which is also called Chang'an), the birthplace of the Yellow River civilization. The Daean Pagoda is an Indian-style pagoda built by a field judge who studied abroad in India during the Tang Dynasty (Samjang Judge from the Western Era) to translate Buddhist scriptures brought from India when returning to the Tang Dynasty to store the Buddhist scriptures (scriptures). Xian's Cheonboksa Temple Soan Pagoda is also a tower.

우리나라에서 가장 오래된 전탑... 이제 마지막 기차는 떠났으니 조용하고 평안하소서.. 전탑 (brick tower) 탑 은 1 단 의 기단 (yl altar) 위로 7 층 의 탑신 (tower) 을 착실히 쌓아 올린 모습 이다. 기단 의 각면 에는 화강암 으로 조각 된 8 부 중상 (eight public image) 과사 천왕상 (four kings like) 을 세워 놓았고, 기단 남쪽 면 에는 계단 을 설치 하여 1 층 몸돌 에 만들어진 감실 (niches chamber: 불상 을 모시는 방). 을향 하도록 하였다 탑신 은 진한 회색 의 무늬 없는 벽돌 로 쌓아 올렸 으며, 지붕돌 은 위아래 모두 계단 모양 의 층단 을이루는일반적인전탑양식과는달리, 윗면에남아있는흔적으를보아기와를얹웴보아기와를얹엸보아기와를얹열 기단 의 윗면 을 시멘트 로 발라 놓아 아쉬움 을 남기는 이 탑 은 7 층 이나 되는 높은 층수 에 높이 17m, 기단 너비 7.75m 의거 대한 탑 임에도 매우 안정된 자태 를 유지 하고 있으며, 국내 에 남아 있는 가장 크고 오래된 전탑 에 속한다 는점 에서 중요한 의 의 를 가진다. 또한 지붕 에 기와 를 얹었 던 자취 가 있는 것으로 보아 목탑 을 모방 하여 전탑 이 만들어 졌다는 것을 입증 해주는 자료 로 평가 되고 있다. Standing 17m tall, the Seven-story Brick Pagoda at the Beopheungsa Temple Site is the largest and oldest brick pagoda remaining in Korea. Given that the name of the site where the pagoda stands is Beopheung-ri, it is assumed that the pagoda used to belong to Beopheungsa, a Buddhist temple built during the Unified Silla Period. The pagoda's body stands on a single-story platform, and is made of firmly cumulated bricks. Eight Guardian Deities and Four Guardian Kings are carved out of granite on each side of the pedestal, while on the southern side there is stairway leading to the niche in the body of the first floor. Unfortunately, the upper side of the platform is now cemented. The body is made of dark gray bricks without patterns, and there is a niche at the center of the first floor in which a Buddha statue would have been enshrined. The roofstone has a mark that shows there were roof tiles on its upper side, which is very different from common brick pagodas whose upper and lower roofstones are staircase-shaped. Though the pagoda is a high seven-story pagoda, it looks very stable. Considering that there is the mark of roofing tiles on the roof, it is estimated as a material that proves that the brick pagoda was built by imitating the appearance of wooden pagodas. Brick tower refers to a tower built of mud bricks. The tower built in Beheung-dong is presumed to belong to Beheungsa Temple, which was built during the Unified Silla era, but it cannot be accurately confirmed due to the residential houses and railways surrounding the pagoda. The tower left a pity because it was smeared with cement on the top of the base. Although there are 7 storeys, it is a huge tower with a height of 17 meters and a width of 7.75 meters, but it still maintains a very stable shape. The largest and oldest remaining brick tower is of great significance. And judging from the traces of roof tiles that were once covered, it is evaluated as a material that proves that brick towers are made by imitating wooden towers. 砖塔とは、土で作った烟瓦をutilizationして积み上げた塔をいう.
