고려 말과 조선 초의 왕릉에서 찾을 수 있는 황금비와 금강비

Abstract

Tombs during Goryeo Dynasty, which was one of ancient Korea’s greatest periods, used stone walls, stone screens, engravings and stone images in the form of a civil officials were displayed at the entrance royal tomb all with the purpose of honoring their fallen king. This way was also similar construction during the Chosun Dynasty but much more intricate and extravagant. However, the tomb from the Goryeo Dynasty has been extremely damaged and it has become really hard to recognize, it stays hard to recognize even after pieces have been recovered. On the other hand, the tombs are from Chosun Dynasty have all been kept well. The common part between the Goryeo and early Chosun generations is that tomb stones were largely created from gold and geumgang ratio. Anyway, it is really difficult to measure the tomb from the Goryeo Dynasty because of all the damage. So, it at least does not satisfies with Golden ratio(1.618:1) or Geumgang ratio(1.414:1) anymore however, the ratios from what could be measured had similar ratio to those perfect ratios. We got to know about construction of all seventh tombs from Goryeo dynasty and two tombs from Chosun dynasty purposely used golden, geumgang ratio and also we can assume that our ancestors used mathematics from later Goryeo era to early Chosun. We also can tell our ancestors were so good at mathematics through all proves about using mathematical method in construction of tombs and our beautiful cultural properties “Mooryangsujeon” or “Seokgulam”.
