Presentation Transcript

  1. SOUTH KOREA Gyeongju, the museum without walls

  2. The7th-century Cheomseongdae Observatory, the oldest surviving astronomical observatory in Asia, where the construction reflects a sophisticated understanding of planetary movements.

  3. There is a secret to the meticulously calculated numbers used in making Cheomseongdae.As Silla relied on agriculture for its economy, the people observed the astronomical movements through Cheomseongdae in order to calculate the best times for farming. The number of stones that constitute Cheomseongdae are approximately 365 (362 to be exact). This is almost the same as the number of days in one year

  4. Starting from the window located in the middle of Cheomseongdae Observatory, there are 12 layers above and 12 layers below. This signifies the 24 seasonal divisions that are very important in farming.

  5. If you count the total number of layers of Cheomseongdae, it is either 29 or 30, the same as the number of days in a month. The 28 layers, excluding the Jeongjaseok at the top, signify the 28 constellations in the sky. Excluding the stylobate at the bottom and the Jeongjaseok, the body of the observatory has 27 layers. This was designed to commemorate Queen Seondeok, the 27th ruler of Silla, who constructed Cheomseongdae Observatory.

  9. Woljeonggyo Bridge

  10. Woljeonggyo Bridge located in Gyo-dong, Gyeongju was built during the Unified Silla period (AD 676-935), but was burnt down during the Joseon dynasty. Through historical research, the bridge was rebuilt in April 2018 to become the largest wooden bridge in Korea. According to SamgukSagi (History of the Three Kingdoms), the bridge was built during the 19th year of King Gyeongdeok’s reign (AD 760), connecting Wolseong and Namsan together. The historical research to rebuild the bridge lasted from November 26, 1984 to September 8, 1986, finding that the bridge was made with wood for the first time. The first rebuilding of the bridge was from 2008 to 2013 and the finishing touches were added from April 2016 to April 2018. Through this research and rebuilding process, future restoration of historical buildings have a better reference to use.

  18. Based on findings during excavations and other existing similar bridges from the Silla Period, Woljeonggyo was restored to its current form between 2008 to 2018. It was designated as Historic Site

  19. There is also a folktale related to this bridge, about a Buddhist monk called WonhyoDaesa who harbours feelings for a Silla princess called Yeoseok. It is from this bridge that he jumps into the river, and as he gets his clothes dried out at Yeoseokgung Palace, he spends the night with the princess. This union leads to the eventual birth of their son, the scholar Seol Chong. However, it’s also said that it would not have been possible for both of them to have met on this bridge as it “was not even made during King Muyeol’s reign“

  23. Gyeongju, home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is imbued with the aura of tradition dating back to the Silla Kingdom. Gyeongju was founded in 57 BC as capital of the Kingdom of Silla, and remained its seat of power for nigh on a thousand years – the Silla dynasty got through a whopping 56 monarchs before collapsing in 935. As a result, the city has more historic sites than anywhere else in the country. Locals often refer to it as a “Museum without Walls”, on account of the regal burial mounds spread liberally not just inside the city, but throughout the fields and forests outside the centre
