미륵사지석탑의 기술력이 신라 석탑에 미친 영향

Abstract

It is considered that Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda had a great effect on Silla stone pagoda as it is the first Korean pagoda as a stone pagoda from a wood pagoda before. As noticed, Silla stone pagoda has a development stage from initial stage(始原期) to development period(典型期) to fixed style period(定型期). Even though the stage setting is mainly based on style, it also disproves that technical problems caused by style development were solved. This study argues that most of the remarkable technologies are based on skills to have built Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda. The most influential skill from Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda to Silla stone pagoda is a construction method to use a dual structure. It is a construction method to treat the bottom of total stone pagoda from inside and outer wall of the pagoda respectively. While the method was applied to all Silla pagodas in initial stage and development period, in the fixed style period, the construction method to use a dual structure applied to stylobate in stone pagoda and lamination was used for body part of the pagoda. The change is in sync with simplified style of lack of body part and 5 types were figured out in stylobate. In short, the construction method to use a dual structure from Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda was handed down to Silla pagoda and it was used for stylobate as well as a technical development to simplify absence. Butterfly shape setting method to connect stones and structure method, and a dual way to face a stone smoothly for Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda were completely passed down to Silla pagoda, which highly impacted the Silla pagoda to stay stable. The completion of dual stylobate, a Silla pagoda's own style, is based on the original stylobate style of Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda, and it is regarded that it is a invented structure to worship relics of the Buddha in the body part of the pagoda by directing a sense of rise to the pagoda and general traffic life in a temple. In conclusion, various skills for Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda were handed down to Silla, and it coincides with integration of the three kingdom's cultures that unified Silla showed. It is considered that the feature enhanced the technical completion with style development of Silla pagoda and it played a significant role to build Korean unique pagoda culture.
