The purpose of the record on the monument is to be remained and remembered for a long time. The style of stone monument had been changed by accepting the monument culture of the Tang Dynasty, at the time of the unification of the Three Kingdoms. The production of monument were processed by various technicians: stone masons(石工, 石手), content writer(撰者), calligraphy writer(書者), carver(刻者) and so on. The method of engraving was the technique of the gakja(刻字, a craft which engraves letters or paints on the woodblock) such as embossing, engraving, intaglio(engraving) and relief style(陰陽刻), intaglio(engraving) and flat style(陰平刻) and etc. When the carving had finished, artisan took a rubbing of the monument and compared the copy and the original and fixed the difference. As the letters-carving were finished, artisan was painting them with the cinnabar. After the process, artisan put pine resin, glue and beeswax on the surface to prevent exterior corrosion. The material of the monument was usually the natural rocks as it is at first. From <Sunsu Monument of King Jinheung(568)>, the monument style was formed such as cover-stone(碑蓋), body stone(碑身) and footstone(碑臺). Footstone is the foundation stone, a stylobate style and a board style was popular before the unification of Kingdoms. Content writers(撰者) and calligraphy writers(書者) were consist of the government officials, they wrote the contents, wrote the calligraphy and carved it. Until the middle of the 6th century, each official participated all the process, however from the late 6th century, the role was subdivided into the several parts such as stone mason and carver.
