다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This fortification, situated to the east of the Silla capital, is an outer fortification with the function of protecting the city. According to Samguk sagi, it was built before the fourth fear of the reign of King Si1s□ng (before A.D. 405), and was one of the earliest such fortifications to be built. In the reigns of King Chabi and Kin g Soji (A. D.475-488), it was even used as a dwelling-place. This fortification has earthern walls approximately 5km long, and about 4.5km of stone walls. On the 26th of August 1988,, on the northwest side of the stone wall, the stele known as My□nghwalsan song chaks □ngbi (Stele of the construction of the Mt. My?nghwal fortification) was discovered. It is a record of the constrLlction. The stele measures 66.8cm in height, 31.0cm at its greatest width, and 16.5cm thick. It bears an inscrifltion of 148 characters, the contents of which are as follows :

1. Preface with the cyclical date of construction
2. Name of the overseer of the building work
3. Names of the contractors, and the lengths of wall for which they were responsible.
4. Location of the construction.
5. Numbers of those employed in construction.
6. Duration of the construction.
7. Name of the writer of the inscription.

The stele was erected in the 12th year of King Chinh□ng(551), in order to make clear the division of responsibilities and to commemorate the participation in the construction of the fortifications.
In the former territory of the Silla kingdom, several such ch'uks□ngbi (fortification - building steles) have been found in Namsan, Ky□ngiu (A.D. 591), but this is the first one to have been found in the Mt. My?nghwal.
With the discovery of this stele, one can begin to understand the organization of such construction work in the 6th century. The similar steres from Namsan Shins?ngbi record the names in one body on each stele, but here they are divided into three smaller divisions.
On this stele, the duration of construction is recorded as having taken 35 darts, so the building of such fortifications did not take many months as has been commonly believed. Also the names of professions such as sang'in nadu (head of patrolmen), chang'in (craftsmen), s□sain (writer or calligrapher), previously unknown, are recorded.
Particularly, the two characters after kunjung, in the second stele from Namsan shin - s?ngbi, previously undeciphered, can now be read as kunjung sang'in (leader of group), according to the evidence from the My□nghwalsan stele. Moreover, the My□nghwalsan stele has many features in common with the Namsan stele, so that they provide important complementary epigraphical materials.
