경주 普門洞 寺址에 관한 고찰

Abstract

`The result of the study of Gyeongju Bomun-dong temple site is as follows. As for the review on the periodic distribution of temples in Gyeongju during the Unified Silla, the first foundation period was adjusted to the early 8th century from the late 8th century, which was the existing theory. Through the analysis on the geographical view, Nangsan area where Bomunsa was located faithfully reflected the geographical view specified in Bulbonhaengjipgyeong. In the next, as for the Gyeongru site which remains as the earthen platform at the rear side of Geumdang of Bomundong temple site, the study suggested a possibility that it was not the original Gyeongru site during the initial foundation by comparing it with the temple layout type during the Unified Silla period. This study also assumed that the so called Bomunsa temple site Dangjanjiju had nothing to do with Bomundong temple site. By the comparison between the stone relics in the Bomundong temple site with recent excavating site and excavated relics, the foundation period was readjusted to the early 8th century. Through a relic analysis of Geumdang site, the study suggested a new type of restoration of Geumdang which is the double stylobate type, and also suggested 5 columns in the front, and 3 columns in the side, which is contrary from an existing theory. Lastly, this study reviewed existing studies on the distance of stone relics and the design plan of the temple, and suggested a new Bomunsa temple layout plan by revising the restoration plan by Fujisima Kayijiro in 1928.
