신라의 벽화고분과 화상석묘 존재 가능성 고찰 = 신문왕릉과 황복사지 위치비정을 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper argues that horizontal tombs that have mural paintings and pictorial stone may have been constructed in Gyeongju, the capital of Silla Kingdom, during the Unified Silla period. In order to justify this argument, a few archaeological examples and historical documents were utilized. In particular, the putative tomb of King Sindeok, located in the western part of South Mountain in Gyeongju was briefly introduced. Because it turned out to be mural according to the investigations conducted by both Japanese and Korean archaeologists respectively in the past. In addition, one horizontal tomb excavated by a Japanese archaeologist during Japanese colonial period in Choonghyo-dong, Gyeongju, was also briefly mentioned. Because it yielded a stone post on which a dragon was carved. These are material evidence to indicate that there is a high possibility that the tombs which had mural paintings and pictorial stone were constructed in Gyeongju during the period of Unified Silla. Particularly, it is emphasized that the historical document of 《Gyerim-lok》 compiled by Seong-min Hong at the end of the sixteenth century provides a direct information concerning the construction of the pictorial stone tombs during the Unified Silk period. On the other hand, combining the inscriptions which appear on a gilt-bronze Sarira container lid and three different roof tiles on which the Chinese characters of either ‘Hwang Bok’(皇福) or ‘Wang Bok’(王福) are inscribed, some of the twelve cyclical animals of the Chinese zodiac stone statues exposed by archaeological excavation carried out in 1968, and historical account concerning the geographic location of the tomb of King Sinmun appearing in the 《Samguk sagii》, it is argued that the ruined Buddhist Temple and the putative royal tomb should be designated as Hwang Bok-sa Buddhist temple and the tomb of King Sinmun respectively.
