Abstract

This study is a preliminary analysis of the royal capital of Silla Bridges and the urban development aspects of the southern Wolseong area. This paper is described the meanings and roles of Silla bridges from Woljeonggyo and Chunyanggyo Bridges Sites. First, It is assumed that the locations of bridges (Geumgyo Bridge, Gwigyo Bridge, etc) in the Silla capital by the literature and old maps. It is a noticeable feature which most of Silla capital bridges are located on along the Namcheon River. Because, the Bukcheon River had a high coefficient of flow fluctuation it is assumed that Bukcheon River had led to only simpler crossings such as the temporary bridge or stepping stones, in contrast to the Namcheon River's case. Next, this study looks into the construction technology by Woljeonggyo and Chunyanggyo Bridge Sites where the locations are confirmed bridges. There is a noticeable feature, different construction technologies are found among the same period bridges. This is understood that the two bridges have a different hierarchy. This gap is thought to symbolize the king and the crown prince. During the reign of King Gyeongdeok, were carried out various projects for the crown prince and the crown prince was appointed to set after the completion of Woljeonggyo and Chunyanggyo Bridge. Especially, it is noticeable feature each bridge's name also contains symbolic meaning of the king and the crown prince. Therefore, it is assumed that Woljeonggyo Bridge is for the king and Chunyanggyo Bridge is for the crown prince. The construction of two bridges is understood that were completed the sections and structures of the royal palace. It is found that the redevelopment aspect of the southern Wolseong area was around the time of the two bridges' construction. For example, it appeared this feature that the completion of the Inwang-dong temple site, the Cheongwansa temple construction and several urban sites excavation. Moreover, in the case of Tap-dong is surveyed which the tomb group was destroyed before the urban redevelopment by the excavation of this area. It could be understood that the street organization and the urban expansion in the southern Wolseong area, during the construction of the Woljeong Bridge and Chunyang Bridge. To summarize the urban development in the Silla capital, the first stage centres on the three place developments in the mid to late 6th century, the Hwangnyongsa Temple construction in the northeastern area of Wolseong, the early temples in the Seocheon riverside and the southern Wolseong with Namsansinseong Fortress. The second stage is the urban expansion until the north side of Bukcheon River in the late 7th century to the early 8th century with the places of Sacheonwangsa Temple, Seongdong-dong Jeolangji and Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond. At last, the third stage of the Silla capital could be the redevelopment in the southern Wolseong area with Woljeong Bridge, and Chunyang Bridge construction.
