Stone Monument of Baek Ryeon Sa in Gang Jin of Jellanamdo Province in Korea

There was a stone monument in the corner of the temple.
At first I did not notice this monument.
I could find out it, while walking near the temple after looking around Dae Wung Jeon Hall.

The monument looked unusual.
Originally this monument had been built in Goryeo dynasty, but while time passing, the monument was destroyed. So they rebuilt this monument at 18 century in Choson dynasty. It was said that they found the original head part under the ground. And they made the body part where the history of the temple was carved and the tortoise-shape of bottom.

So this monument was a combination of the art work between Goryeo and Choson dynasty.

Interesting thing for me was I could compare the bottom part between Goryeo and Choson dynasty.
Now let's look carefully this bottom part.

The work of Choson dynasty looked tougher that that of Goryeo dynasty.

In some day, I'd like to compare the bottom parts among Shilla-Goryeo-Choson dynasties.
