Abstract

The paper covered the Tower faith and Complement terrain in the Geumgang Cultural Area. Here, a tower is a stone tower built out of stones by villagers. People built stone towers at the entrance to the village and held ancestral rites to stabilize the village. The stone tower is a guardian of the streets, and has become a religious object.However, the construction of the tower was also aimed at securing space. Such cases are found in the upper, middle and lower regions of the Geumgang River, discussed in the paper. Soon, people tried to make the village a stable and rich place by creating a tower. Such expressions intended to stabilize the village are called Complement terrainThere are many kinds of Complement terrain. First, The entrance of a stream is performed by building towers and planting trees at the entrance to the village. Depending on the village, jangseung or sotdae are built together. It is one of the most Complement terrain ways to spread throughout the Geumgang Cultural Area. It aims to stabilize the landscape by building towers and forests. In the upper reaches of the country, other than the towers and forests, they are also placed with a stone set up and the turtles. The Complement fire is intended to prevent or suppress the issue. They mainly try to control fire energy by building towers and forests. There are also cases of building animals such as turtles to prevent fires. As such, there are various types of Complement terrain in the Geumgang Cultural Area. And, to this day, the custom of saving the stability and prosperity of the village is continuing.
