The First Appearance of Bulguksa, The Most Beautiful Architecture in Shilla Dynasty.

in history •  7 years ago 

Through carved road to Bulguksa, finally I arrived at the main building of Bulguksa.

The building was too wide to take a whole scene with normal lens.
I took a photo with wide angle lens.

The main building what I first saw is unique architecture in Bulguksa with the Towers.
I’d like to post about the towers next time

In this posting, I’d like to introduce you the symbolic building of Bulguksa.
All most every people who have been touring Bulguka are taking Photo in front of this building.

Actually that building was stone bridge. In my guess, this bridge must be the one of the most beautiful in the world at that time.

Due to the changing of circumstances, there is no more water under the bridge.
Even though there is no water under the bridge, the scenery is exceptionally beautiful.

It is very difficult for me to describe in words. I think it’s better to show you more in detail.

The bridges were made with the stones. But when we look at carefully, it seems that the bridges were made in wooden style.

The front appearance of Bulguksa is so beautiful.
It could be possible due to the skill of dealing the stones.
Masonry technology was so excellent.

But it is said that masonry technicians mainly came from Baek Jae Dynasty.

It means that the level of the technique in Baek Jae was so excellent.
In this respect, it is very sorry there is not so many stone buildings of Baek Jae Dynasty.

After the collapse of Baek Jae Dynasty by Shilla and Tang Dynasty of China, almost all of the buildings had been destroyed.

In other hands, the technique of Baek Jae had been transferred to Japan.

Baek Jae dynasty had influenced on the shaping of Japanese Culture.

In this respect, Bulguksa seemed to have been strongly influenced by Baek Jae Culture.
So in some point of view, Bulguksa shows us the high level of Baek Jae Dynasty.

In front of the bridge building, there were trees. The fence for the trees was looked like an island.
May be they made a stone island like fence in considering that there was a water long time ago.

The trees and the bridge together made a beautiful scenery.

Thank you so much for reading.

PS

It seems that there is some discussions on the reward in Steemit.
The most important thing in Steemit is not how to take the rewards but how to produce many postings of good quality.

If the postings of low quality receive much reward, it is problem.
But when the posting of high quality receive much reward, it is very desirable, in my opinion.

I think we need to focus on doing our best to write high quality postings instead fighting each other with jealousness.

Negative made the negative,
Positive produce the positive.

One of my unlces visited this place when he used to work in Korea. I remember he said it's free to enter the museum? Did you see the miniatures of the city is it still there and I think some artifacts too inside the museum.

I understood when you said, "It is very difficult for me to describe in words. I think it’s better to show you more in detail." sometimes you just have to let the photographs speak for itself.

The photos made me feel like I had experienced a little bit of ancient Silla. I have been following your travel blogs since last year, I should remember adding a little bit of history of the places I visited and will be visiting.

In regards to this, *"think we need to focus on doing our best to write high quality postings instead fighting each other with jealousness.

Negative made the negative,
Positive produce the positive."*

Thank you for bringing this up.
I totally agree, I don't understand why people waste their energy on negative stuff, steemit is a wonderful place and we should all be grateful. Everything that we do here reflects on each and everyone of us.

Thank you for the inspiration. More power to you!

This place look so pretty in the photographs. These type of place are the heritage of country. Good post.

Hi! I am trying to raise some SBD for a charitable cause but the post is not doing as well as I have expected it to do. Do you think you could check it out and see what you can do? Or anyone in this thread? All help is appreciated. The post will be closing in couple of days:

Call to action: let´ s save a mountain forest in Cameroon! Charity giveaway + special photocontest for 10 SBD!

thank you for your comment.
I support charity activity
I will upvote for @treeplanter daily base.

That's fantastic! Thank you for supporting this wonderful project!

Exceptional pictures.

감사합니다. 순간 당황했습니다

Bulguksa...
Don't know what this name means o.O

'Bulguk' means the country of budda and 'sa' means temple.

Korea is a place where it consists a lot of historical building

Awesome collection buddy
Just loved it <3

Such beautiful photos of Bulguksa, @slowwalker, as it sleeps peacefully surrounded by many shady trees.

It is ironic how the original purpose of something can be lost due to changing circumstances - an elaborate bridge with no water - it seems sad.

But in a way Bulguska symbolizes all of the past - circumstances have changed over the centuries and all that remains are vestiges of what used to be.

In this latter sense, history is a cautionary tale. Nothing endures and often what does has outlived its purpose.

A wistful thought on a winter weekend, my friend, but spring is coming with the promise of the new :)

Thank you for your comment
Today I feel the wind of Spring.
Yes, Spring has come.

totally agree with your comments at the end, sadly I think the system doesn't really rewards good posts that much, it's more like the whales take all the reward and newbie participants can hardly get much for their good content

wow amazing photography sir :)

Good quality article. Nice read.

beautiful photographs! enjoy your life :)

these are actually the best photos I've seen

Very nice architecture and the capture of each photo...the bridge was carefully made knowing that it was made of stones though it looks like wooden-made. The masons were so skilled, then...Thanks for sharing @slowwalker, yours is really a quality post that deserves high upvotes. Hope I could make a post like yours. More power to you and I expect more travels from you. God bless...!

nice i enjoyed this

Agreed on the last four paragraphs @slowwalker . I am content with how things are going with me on Steemit. Time input, good content, growing a community and perseverance are key for being "successful". I have to say the more explore this platform and learn about more applications for it, the more excited and challenged I feel. Challenged in a good way.

I will write more in depth posts on subjects that are close to me. I need to build up my reputation and group first. I understand this.

But I am also thinking about from a different perspective and I was wondering if I could ask your thoughts on this.

I have been working in international development (tourism and protected areas) for over 10 years. Long story short. I see steem as a radical new was of fund raising for worthy causes and projects. People simple click the upvote and voila! some funds raised at no cost.

Just over a month ago I planted one tree on behalf of Steemit. Just thought I could give something back and reduce our carbon foot print. Well I post about it and the feedback I got was amazing. I am now at my 6 post about it and I donate all the SBD to a local not for profit here in the village (northern peru). They give me tree saplings to plant and I plant.

I would like to increase my visibility for these posts, but even with well structured and detailed posts, at this stage may not bear fruit. What do you think? If you are interested please check out my posts on me panting trees for an upvote.

Thank you.

@intrepidsurfer

This is just sheer beauty

;))
good luck
I support your activity for environment

Thank you ever so much for your support @slowwalker . I feel blessed that you took notice. Just with your support gives me lots of confidence in what I am doing here on Steemit. This is truely a unique platform with boundless opportunities. Like you following your passion, no one getting in the way and feeling free. China is one place I have not had the pleasure of traveling to. I am sure my mind would be blown away with the range and depth of Chinese history/culture....hopefully I will one day.

I intend to plant as many trees as possible and all with steem. If you have any tips or knowledge to share, that could help grow this cause, I would be very very appreciative.

Again, thank you for your support.

@intrepidsurfer

I like the photo very much, it manages to transmit good energy. how you manage to unite nature with the building in the photo are magical. It would be great to be in those spaces once

Thank you for your comment

Hello brother @slowwalker I think many historical stories are still stored, it's interesting history that is still very thick. Anyway it's so amazing to be preserved and must open the eyes of the world.

Regards From Indonesia.

If you have time, Let's visit my blog @bangmimi thanks

;))

How are you brother?

So new and so beautiful that it looks like builded recently! All that is missing is the water under the bridge. Fascinating pictures @slowwalker

Nice pictures, makes me want to see it with my own eyes.
And I also agree with your PS.

We need to promote Quality over Quantity.

Cheers.

You have keenly captured every detail. Great pictures. When I see great historical buildings it convinces me previous generations where indeed superior to the current one against popular belief.

Thank you for your comment

Nice photography. 😊

I always Love to travel,whenever I got a chance I make it. So when someone is posting a new spot with a picture I always see and read the article. many of only see photos,but i didn't, because a traveller when capture a photo (camera does not matter) ..behind this scene photographer's has a view, and I read because he/she was present that place ,for that they have feelings ,immotions are included within article and you can scent the flavour of this. Thats all.

So Be Positive..Make Positive ..

Couldn't agree more. If low quality article gets much upvote and reward, it will make more problems. Upvoted and thanks for history journey!

Thank you for your comment

OOOH I was so sad when I read that all of the buildings had been destroyed. We are kinda robbed of that :(. At least we can see a glimpse of their culture in a Japanese culture...

What a beautiful World we're living in. I'm following your journey, it's really incredible!

Cheers, Luka

Destruction and Rebuilding looks the process of our history

It seems very cold because I saw the ice fall from the wall.😊

Yeah, the ice fall was so amazing, wasn't it? I thought that was rather remarkable, and beautiful. I want to see it up close. I also liked the pagodas up against the blue sky like that. A very distinct contrast of blue to pale yellow. They were beautiful.

a memorable trip, thanks for sharing it @slowwalker

i love your style of posts and use of photography :)

Hello, I can imagine that with water under the bridge it would look even more lovely. How much degrees was it? It looks very cold with the frozen water :D Because of the trees it looks like a beautiful park, Thanks for high quality post, I agree with you and we should try to make the best with our postings!! Regards Lena

It was -15 Celsius when I had been there.
Thank you for comment

Breath taking,

This is some of the most beautiful architecture I have ever seen. The images of the bridge are incredible!!

nice post, upvoted you, please also check my blog

Amazing photography thanks for sharing...

Bulguksa is one of the most famous destinations for student's field trip in Korea!
I have been to Bulguksa in winter and autumn. Autumn leaves were so beautiful there....

The structure is incredible. Is it an abandoned place?

Woww so beautiful i just know korea also have this wonderful classic building💕

Wonder scenery! 😊 great post

I have to say that these pictures are absolutely beautiful. I was just talking the other day with another steemian about how visiting the ruins of an ancient civilization is on my bucket list. These pictures make me want to leave right now. There are so many ancient civilizations throughout Asia and I think it would be amazing to visit them. Your pictures make you feel like you are there looking at the structures in person. I am curious @slowwalker. Are you able to explore inside these structures? That would be an amazing experience.

The photographs are beautiful. This place in person surely leaves you breathless. I am sorry, but exactly where is this?

wow, publicando un muy buen amigo, @slowwalker ealmente me gusta esta publicación.

Amazing photography..

Succes men! Hehe

Oh, you mean like this?

I think he looks like a successful man. Mostly because when I googled "successful man" his picture showed up. So if you want to be a success men, then you will probably have to try to look lie him. I think he looks a bit like Ben Afflec, actually.

This place is so cool and very interesting. Good job! Your post is very informative and you've captured great spots around the place!

Negative made the negative,
Positive produce the positive.

I’ll keep this in mind @slowealker. I still have a lot to learn how to be more productive in this platform.

Thanks for sharing this amazing side of Korea. It looks really beautiful, clean and peaceful. I wish I could go there someday.

Safe travels! 😊

Breath taking photos

very good post, I liked the photos very much

Beautiful shots!
The history of Bulguksa is so interesting. Korea has so much history I still need to know.

Hello friend, please I need your upvotes...thanks

I like travel n tourism. your post amazed me so much and curious me most to visit there. lot of loves!

"this post in great,thanks for the sharing this is information post.and beautifull photography"

lovely atmosphere welcome bo

what incredible structures

Bulguksa which is regarded as one of Korean's largest and most visited temple. I am actually in love with the architectural design, I know it would have taken years to complete that. Bulguksa is recognized as a masterpiece of the golden age of Buddhist architecture and art in the Unified Silla dynasty.

How I wish I can travel down to Bukgulsa and take some pictures while standing at the front of the tower. This will surely be a dream comes true.

I really love the picture it has a good ambiance. Stress reliever.

Thank you so much for posted this. What an amazing place! @slowwalker i never had been there but, it reminds me Machu Pichu in Cuzco, Peru where the hole city its also made of huges stones but it looks so beautiful and masterly.

I'm agree with you about high quality postings. I mean, this is an amazing plataform to share our lifestyle, our hobbies and whatever we like to share, but we have to try to share it to the best way to be postive and make a good material to read!

Thanks again for this post,
X.

Thank you for your comment.
I wish your happiness in Steemit.
Continuous posting and activity is the key in my opinion

Thank you for reading and comment
