Gyeongju Historical Area, where Silla Dynasty comes to life
경주 역사 지구, 신라왕조가 살아나는 곳
Sculptures, reliefs, pagodas, and the remains of temples. The Gyeongju Historic Areas contain a remarkable concentration of Korean Buddhist art... particularly from the 7th to 10th centuries.
Our Hwang Hojun introduces us to the Gyeongju Historic Areas: Korea's UNESCO World Heritage.
It's the ancient capital of the Silla Kingdom.
And it continues to tell the story of the golden kingdom, even today.
The Gyeongju Historic Area is divided into five distinct areas, the Namsan Belt, the Wolsong Belt, the Tumuli Belt, the Hwangnyongsa Belt and the Sanseong Belt, where one can experience the birth and fall of Silla.
There are ten criteria UNESCO uses to assess whether a heritage candidate has outstanding universal value.
To be included on the World Heritage List, sites must meet at least one of the ten selection criteria.
The Gyeongju Historic Area was selected as a World Heritage Site in 2000 after meeting two of the criteria... exhibiting evidence of interchange of human values, and bearing exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization which has disappeared.
There is abundant evidence that Silla played a crucial role in the cultural communication in East Asia, Gyeongju being the final destination of the Maritime Silk Road.
Moreover, the city bears some archaeological significance as it preserves the features of the ancient kingdom's capital.
To name a few...
One cannot miss the Daereungwon Tomb Complex, in the Tumuli belt of the area, because of the numerous and prominent burial mounds containing the tombs of kings and nobles.
Since excavation started in the 1970s, over 40,000 relics have been found, including royal crowns and golden accessories.
One of the tombs rose to fame after a painting of a winged horse on birch bark was discovered.
The tombs not only demonstrate the lavish lifestyle of the royals, but the some excavated artifacts, including those made out of glass, show us Silla was more than just a kingdom sitting on the east end of Asia.
Rather, it was a country that actively traded with countries in the West, including Persian countries and even Rome.
Cheomseongdae, the world's oldest surviving observatory stands in the Wolseong Belt of the district.
By measuring the position of the sunlight shining through the small window on Cheomseongdae, it was possible to keep track of the 24 seasonal divisions, which was crucial for an agrarian society.
Built in the 7th century, Cheomseongdae's symmetrical and round structure, along with its deep pit filled with gravel and sand, made the ancient observatory earthquake-resistant.
As a matter of fact, it even survived the magnitude 5.8 earthquake hit Gyeongju last Monday.
Countless remnants of Silla, including the old palace site, give visitors the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the kingdom's past glories.
They built so many beautiful buildings and a beautiful town. This was really impressive. Yes.
Most impressive to see what is like a possible in the past. What was possible in the past.
The city itself is an open-air museum... a treasure trove that testifies to the unique, artistic, and international identity of the millennium-long Silla Dynasty.

Royal Tomb of King Heungdeok, Gyeongju a resting place where pine trees defend
문화유산채널
This is a video clip which introduces the tomb of King Heungdeok, the 42nd king of Silla Dynasty in the 9thcentury. The tomb features the stone statues which defend the burial mound together with the pine tree forest which creates a unique beauty.
Daeneungwon Royal Tombs and Observatory Cheomseongdae
Large ancient tombs of kings and noblemen of the Silla Kingdom can be seen around Gyeongju at the Daereungwon Tomb Complex (Cheonmachong Tomb). There are twenty-three large tombs located here; the most famous being Cheonmachong and Hwangnamdaechong. In an excavation of the area in the 1970's, Cheonmachong was discovered with a painting of mounted horse. This painting is the only discovered painting from the Silla Era
Cheomseongdae is the oldest existing astronomical observatory in Asia.
Constructed during the reign of Queen Seon-deok (632-647), it was used for observing the stars in order to forecast the weather. This stone structure is a beautiful combination of straight lines and curves, and was designated as National Treasure No.31 on December 20th, 1962.

Royal tombs of Joseon Dynasty, memory of royals live on
조선왕릉, 왕실의 영혼이 숨쉬는 곳
Korea boasts 40 royal tombs found across the nation... tombs of kings and queens of many generations of the Joseon Dynasty, which lasted over 500 years from 1392. They all remain intact and are uniquely historic sites amongst royal tombs. Their value is further enhanced by the fact that all the tombs of kings and queens who led the dynasty of an era have been preserved.
Our Hwang Hojun examines The Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty, Korea's UNESCO World Heritage.
The tombs of the kings and queens of the 500-year-long Joseon Dynasty are not only landmarks of the final resting places of Korea's royalty, but also a source of inspiration and awe for the entire world.
A special exhibition on the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty has been going on since June in the National Palace Museum, displaying excavated artifacts, and even a genuine royal coffin constructed during the Joseon regime.
The exhibition, which will end on the 27th of this month, also serves to educate the viewers how the tombs were formed through the dynasty's renowned historical records of the royal rites.
The construction of a royal tomb progressed along with the state funeral of the royal family member.
It usually took about five to seven months from the death of the king or queen consort to the actual burial.
During that time, the most propitious tomb site would be meticulously selected according to the pungsu-jiri, an ancient geographic divination.
Then would come the grand funeral, with over 2000 palace personnel involved.
The coffin would be placed 3 meters below the surface level, then covered by multiple layers of earth, lime, and a mixture of sticky soil.
Thanks to this intricate and careful process, the royal tombs of the Joseon Dynasty have remained virtually untouched.
There are 10 criteria that UNESCO uses to assess whether a heritage candidate has outstanding universal value.
To be included on the World Heritage List, sites must meet at least one out of ten selection criteria.
The royal tombs meet three of the criteria... because of their distinctive tradition, their outstanding architecture, and their 600 year-long annual ancestral worship.
It's unprecedented to have the tombs of an entire dynasty practically untouched and preserved. And it's also important to note that the ancestral rites have been continuing for about six hundred years.
In other words, it's the hardware and the software that makes all forty sites worthy enough to be recognized as a world heritage by the UNESCO.
The special exhibition also gives visitors a bird's-eye-view of the tomb and lets everyone learn about the structure of the tombs without physically being there through Virtual Reality.
Among the 40 royal tombs scattered over the 18 locations in South Korea is Seonjeongneung, the tombs of King Seongjong and his wife Queen Jeonghyeon, and King Jungjong, located in Gangnam.
The visitors are first greeted by Hongsalmun, a red gate with spikes, serving as the entrance to the sacred ground.
It's from here, where the realms of the dead and the living meet.
The stone-covered path that leads up to the shrine is known as the worship road.
The lower path is called Eodo, or the King's Road, while the higher path is called Sindo, or Spirit Road.
Incense represented the spirit of the dead, so only the incense bearer could walk on the Spirit Road.
That's why even today, visitors are only allowed to walk on the King's Road.
On top of the hill is the burial mound, surrounded by stone-carved tigers, sheep, and military and civil officials guarding the tomb and protecting the deceased from evil spirits.
All of these,... mostly how it was,.. half a millennium ago.
It's nice to see these cultural things have been preserved by Koreans and also makes me think that Koreans appreciate their cultural history.
For more than 500 years, the royal tombs of the Joseon Dynasty have honored the memory of Korea's ancestors.
Today, the burial mounds and surrounding landscape offer a bit of serenity to those of us living in the concrete jungle.

Royal Tombs / KBS뉴스(News)
[Anchor Lead]
In 2013, royal tombs of the Goryeo Kingdom in the city of Kaesong in North Korea were inscribed as World Heritage. However, Goryeo tombs on Ganghwado Island were excluded. Many historians are calling for the inscription of Gangwha royal tombs as well.
[Pkg]
After a ten-minute ascent up this mountain, the tomb of Goryeo King Gojong comes into view. The burial mound measures about five to six meters, and it only has four stone figures placed in front of it. The tomb of Goryeo King Heejong, which is surrounded by a stone fence, is also unusually simple for a royal tomb.
[Soundbite] Chung Hak-soo(Research Center for Incheon History and Culture) : Royal tombs that were set up on Ganghwa when it became the capital of Goryeo Kingdom are not large, because Ganghwa served as a wartime capital.
Ganghwado Island, which used to be the capital of the Goryeo Kingdom for 39 years to protect the country from Mongolian invasions, is confirmed to have four royal tombs. Many historians are calling for including the Ganghwa royal tombs with the Goryeo royal tombs in the North Korean city of Kaesong, which were added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2013.
[Soundbite] Prof. Chung Kyung-il(Yanbian University, China) : Adding more relics to the World Heritage list is an important task of inter-Korean cultural heritage cooperation.
The government of Incheon City plans to officially request that the Cultural Heritage Administration inscribe the Ganghwa royal tombs with UNESCO World Heritage designation this year as part of inter-Korean cooperation. It remains to be seen if more royal tombs from the Goryeo and Joseon periods will be added to the World Cultural Heritage list.

Treasures of Korea, Cheomseongdae(첨성대) : A building that has not collapsed for 1,400 years.
Cheomseongdae is an observatory built about 1,400 years ago. It was created during the reign of Queen Seondeok of Silla(634-647). *Silla is one of the ancient nations of the Korean peninsula. It is charming to have a beautiful curved line, and the rectangle in the middle and the top is to observe the outside.
Silla people(新羅人) were very good at masonry. Cheomseongdae has used the 'Grenyi' method of construction, which can not be found in other countries, and thanks to its excellent method, it has become a great building that has not collapsed since 1,400 years ago.
▩ Location ▩
Please check on Google Maps. -
첨성대는 대략 1,400년 전에 세워진 천문대입니다. 한반도의 고대 국가 중 하나인 신라시대의 선덕여왕(재위 634년 ~ 647년) 때 만들어졌습니다. 유려한 곡선으로 되어있는 것이 매력이고, 가운데와 위에 있는 사각형으로 밖을 관찰하도록 되어 있습니다.
신라인들은 돌을 흙 다루듯 했을 정도로 석축기술이 매우 뛰어났습니다. 첨성대는 다른 나라에서는 찾아볼 수 없는 그렝이기법이나 동틀돌을 사용하였고, 그 뛰어난 기술 덕분에 1,400년이 지난 지금까지 한번도 무너지지 않은 위대한 건축물이 되었습니다.

Korean Art - 2 Three Kingdoms and Unified Silla
Second video about the Korean Art serie. Any doubt? Send me a message.
Historia del Arte:
Land of the Art:
Korean art shares traditional aesthetic concepts with the art of China and Japan, but developing its own style. The beauty of their art is in simplicity, spontaneity and sensation of harmony with nature.
Three Kingdoms: from 57 BCE to 668 CE.
The Three Kingdoms are the Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla. At the end of VII century, Silla stablished an alliance with the chinese Tang dynasty, and so it defeated the Goguryeo and Baekje kingdoms. After this, the territory is United Silla, although it wasn’t the full unification of Korea.
Goguryeo (Koguryŏ) was founded by Jumong, and the capital city was Pyongyang
Ruins of Hwando Mountain
Tombs of Goguryeo: with paintings depicting daily life of the koreans
Tomb of the General: in China, probably the tomb of kings Gwanggaeto and Jangsu
Gilt bronze Buddha
Baekje (Paekche) was founded by Onjo, and the capital region was Kongju-Puyo
Pagoda of the Temple of Chongrim
Mireuksa: the greatest temple, at the time there were three pagodas, two made of stone at the sides and one made of wood in the center. Currently only the western pagoda has survived, and a gold plaque with text was found, a great example of korean calligraphy. The eastern pagoda is a reconstruction
Tomb of King Muryeong: in this tomb, many objects were found, as earrings and pendants
Seosan Buddha: representation of the Baekje smile
Icense burner: a very important piece, very different to the contemporary chinese Han pieces. The dragon and the phoenix suggest the yin and yang

Bunhwangsa: built in 634 under the supervision of Queen Seondeok, used to ask Buddha for prosperity
There is also the state of Gaya (Kaya), interesting by their ceramics with shape of houses
Unified Silla: from 668-935. The kingdom of Silla conquered Baekje and Goguryeo kingdoms with the help of the chinese Tang dynasty. Unified Silla had to fight against Balhae, another kingdom. The last Silla king, Gyeongsun, gave the government to the kingdom of Goryeo in 935. The arts flourished in the capital city, Gyeongju
Palace of Lake Anapji: situated at the noreast of Banwolseong, it is a complex built by order of King Munmu in 674. Much of it, was destroyed and rebuilt. It is a great example of korean garden

Mostenire culturala UNESCO in Coreea
Unesco a numit pana acum zece locuri din Coreea pe lista minunilor lumii: Templul Bulguksa si Seokguram-ul, mormantul lui Jongmyo, Haeinsa Janggyeongpanjeon - Tripitaka Coreeana, Palatul Changdeokgung, Fortareata Hwaseong, Zona istorica Gyeongju, locurile Dolmen (din Gochang, Hwasun si Ganghwa), Insula Jeju, Satele istorice Hahoe si Yangdong.
Templul Bulguksa din Gyeongju a fost construit in 774 in timpul perioadei Silla.
Structura sa arheologica a devenit un standard in constructia templelor.Seokguram e o constructie facuta manual in granit alb, cu statui Budha si peste 38 alte siluete sculptate pe pereti Seokguramul imbina arhitectura, matematica, geometria, fizica, religia si arta.
Jongmyo e un ancestral templu unde spiritul regilor Joseoni si reginelor lor traieste inca .O ceremonie le este dedicata in fiecare prima duminica a lunii mai. Ritualul e acompaniat de muzica traditionala.
Haeinsa Janggyeongpanjeon - tripitaka Coreeana este cea mai veche imbinare de insemne budiste existente azi. A fost construita din peste 81.340 de materiale in timpul dinastiei Goryeo.
Janggyeongpanjeon-ul din templul Haeinsa nu a fost atins de foc sau razboi de la constructia sa din anul 1488.
Aflandu-se printre primele cinci palate, Changdeokgung e construit asimetric si pe aceeasi linie cu privelistea inconjuratoare. E un exemplu de arhitectuta veche coreana ,inconjurata de lacuri cu lotus si copaci de peste 300 de ani vechime, un aranjament aflat in armonie cu natura.
Fortareata Hwaseong din Suwon a fost ridicata de regele Jeongjo (1776-1800), in cinstea tatalui sau care a fost ucis din cauza intrigilor de la palat. Fortareata a fost proiectata de Jeong Yak-yong ( cunoscut ca Dasan), unul din adeptii Confucianismului.
Zona istorica Gyeongju si locurile Dolmen,Hwasun si Ganghwa sunt de asemenea pe lista celor 2000 de monumente. Gyeongju a fost capitala Regatului Silla pentru o suta de ani, iar zona era numita Muzeul fara pereti datorita ramasitelor istorice.
Prin urmare, Unesco a recunoscut oficial Jongmyo Jerye si Jerye Music ca facand parte din Monumentele Lumii. De asemenea, monumentul contine diferite insemne, alfabetul corean si jurnalul dinastiei Joseon.
