皇龍寺址 東便 王京遺蹟 月臺附加形 建築物에 대한 一考察

Abstract

The investigation on Hwangryong templesite eastside Capital ruins, known as S1E1 ruins, has been conducted in earnest since 1987. And the report summarizing relevant research has been issued in 2002. With this report, it was found that there have been changes three times from the middle of 7th century (when the ruins started to be developed in earnest) to early 10th century (when the place failed to play a role as Wanggyeong(capital)). Among 3 times changes, ruins in 8~9 century (this period correspond to 2nd change) is relatively clear as 18 houses (total) in that period have been found so far. However, it was verified that all those houses were not used for living. There is no doubt that the 1st house, among the houses, was used for temple, while 2nd and 12th houses are made up building section of flat structure which can be hardly determined to be a place for living. In the front side of the 1st building site of the 2nd house and 3rd building site of the 12th building, Woldae(front-enlarged stylobate) are attached. And the arrangement of building is also different with that of others. A building having Woldae are found in other buildings, Jeongjun of Chosun Dynasty and Guemdang of Goryeo in its later part. Currently, buildings which are older than that have not been found yet. But, as similar building (with Woldae) built in the late 8th century of Nanchan Temple(the Tang Periods) has been found, the connection between two is required to be considered. Fundamentally, Woldae is a kind of Ritual space used mainly for ceremony in Jeongjun of palace, Guemdang in temple, or to make the building more luxurious. So, it is assumed that building having Woldae could be used for the similar purpose as the building described above. According to the ruins remaining, there is high probability that the Ritual had characteristic of Buddhism. But one possibility that it could be used for a place related to Confucianism is required to be considered, because at that time new Chinese Rites (centering around the Tang Rites)had been entered.
