Characteristics of Cornerstones of Old Halls in Beopjoo-sa templesteemCreated with Sketch.

There was an old building on the other side of the ground of the temple.
That was the hall for the Bodhisattva of the Medicine.
This building had been fired during the Japanese Invasion 1592 - 1597.
This building was also rebuilt after the destruction, but this hall didn’t seem to preserve its original appearance.

But it’s cornerstones made me focus on its history. Those buildings looked like to preserve its original cornerstones.
In this point, the hall for the Bodhisattva had the same cornerstones.
Both building had the common style of the cornerstones. Its style was very old. Those buildings showed clearly that these cornerstones were made in Shilla Dynasty, even though the buildings were rebuilt after the Japanese Invasion 1592 - 1599. They had used the old cornerstones which had been made in Shilla dynasty instead of new ones.

In this building I could find out the traces of Shilla dynasty.
Below are the cornerstones of the Hall for the Bodhisattva of the mercy.

The Hall for the Bodhisattva of the medicine looked humble comparing to that of the Bodhisattva of the mercy. But its cornerstones looked to show its more typical style of Shilla dynasty.

@slowwalker, Glad to see Cornerstones in Old Halls in Beopjoo-sa temple. But seemed too old. But keep in better yet being valuable for next generation. They must need to learn and watch creative architecture of old citizens. Shilla dynasty made most typical designs. Nice photo clicks.

Thank you for your comment

Wow...... Awesome photography and excellent post...i like your post & photography

Man your posts are usually quite educational. And since I’m living in Japan now it’s very interesting to see some similarities but also many differences.

I can’t follow up with all your posts but keep up the good work

I hope to stop by Japan asap.

I didn’t think that in ordinary at first glance retaining stones, it is possible for Nati to have so much information about the culture in which they were assigned.

Yes, I think so

Thank you so much

Overall it really looks pretty nice one by the way.
Well the renovation made it look lively but yeah the history is somehow depleted, but yeah they had to do it to preserve what is left.

Yes !!!

That bad that the invasion has collapsed the Bodhisattva of Medicine
but they rebuilt it very well
those stones have a lot of history, how do you recognize the shilla disnastias? there is some specific design as in the other dynasties, on the floor it can be seen as a new layer maybe with the reconstruction, but not all of it and some are even cracked maybe over the years.
they are a large wooden pillars

There are historic records on the temple.
And the architectural styles told when it had been built.

That is very interesting, so each temple tells its own story.
Amazing! that's very good for visitors!

Thank you as always

It's my absolute pleasure.

It is good that the Bodhisattva of the medicine was rebuilt in its original shape, you can see that the colors are brighter and intense so you can say that they are re-built but it is done with love and professional guidance. That are the pearls of history and it is a great respect for those who took part in the restoration of such historic heritage.

Thank you so much for your comment

한국분이신가요?

Writing in English just in case you don’t understand Korean.

Sorry to bother you, but you need to correct a word.

comparing to that of the Bodhisattva of the medicine.

I guess you need to change the word medicine to mercy. You are comparing the same.

감사합니다
