경주 불국사 가구식 석축

경주 불국사 가구식 석축(慶州 佛國寺 架構式 石築)은 대한민국 경상북도 경주시, 불국사에 있는 신라의 석축이다. 2011년 12월 30일 대한민국의 보물 제1745호로 지정되었다.
경주 불국사는 신라의 동악(東岳)인 토함산(土含山)서측 기슭에 위치하며, 남향으로 배치되어 있다. 불국사의 지형은 북측이 높고 남측이 낮은 북고남저(北高南低)와 동측이 높고 서측이 낮은 동고서저(東高西低)으로 지형에 따라 석축을 가구식으로 조화롭게 쌓았으며, 동측 사역에는 자하문, 대웅전, 무설전을 남북 축선에 배치하면서 회랑을 둘러 공간을 구성하고 있다.
대웅전의 동·서측면에는 익랑(翼廊)이 놓여 동·서 회랑과 연결되고 남회랑의 동측 모서리에는 좌경루(左經樓)가 있고, 서측 모서리에는 범영루(泛影樓)가 배치되어 있다. 자하문 남측에는 청운교와 백운교의 석계가 있어 대웅전으로 진·출입할 수 있도록 꾸며졌다.
대웅전 서편에 한 단 낮은 사역에는 회랑을 둘러 별도로 구획한 공간의 중심에 극락전이 배치되어 있고, 남측에 있는 연화·칠보교와 안양문을 통하여 출입할 수 있도록 꾸며졌으며, 극락전 동북측에 있는 석축에는 아미타불의 48원(願)을 상징하는 16계단 3열로 조영되어 있는 석계를 통하여 대웅전과 연결된다.
불국사는 삼국유사에 '김대성이 경덕왕 10년(751,辛卯)에 처음으로 불국사를 창건하기 시작하여 혜공왕 10년(774,甲寅) 12월 2일 대성이 죽자 나라에서 공사를 마쳤다(...景德王代 大相大城以天寶 十年辛卯始創佛國寺,歷惠恭世,以大歷九年甲寅十二月二日大城卒,國家及畢成...)'는 기록이 있어 경덕왕 때(751) 창건된 것으로 추정된다.
통일신라 8세기 중엽이후 임진왜란 전까지 불국사는 아홉 차례의 중창 및 중수를 거쳤다.
불국사는 임진왜란 때 전소(全燒)되어 석조물만 남았다. 창건기의 석조물로는 사찰 앞 석축과 연화·칠보교,청운·백운교, 석탑 2기, 석등, 사리석탑, 당간지주, 석조, 각 건물의 기단과 초석 등이 있다.
불국사 대웅전 석축은 조선후기를 지나면서 제대로 관리하지 못해 크게 퇴락된 것을 일제 강점기인 1923년에 석축과 석조물을 보수하였으며, 1969년에는 복원공사를 위하여 발굴조사가 진행되었고, 1970년에 중창되었다.
자하문 앞에는 아름답게 축조된 가구식 석축과 조화를 이룬 청운·백운교가 놓였고, 그 앞에는 평지를 이루며 서쪽으로 약간 치우친 곳에 구품연지가 있었으나 지금은 매몰되어 있다. 가람서쪽에 있는 극락전 중심의 구역은 대웅전구역보다 한 단 낮추어 배치되었는데, 여기에는 정면에 안양문을 세우고, 그 앞에는 연화·칠보교의 계단을 축조하였다. 극락전 주위에는 안양문과 연결하여 회랑이 둘러졌는데 동쪽에는 대웅전 회랑과 연결되어 별도의 회랑을 두지 않았다.
안양문과 자하문 앞에는 아름답게 꾸민 가구식 석축이 동서로 놓였는데, 동쪽 자하문 앞의 것은 백운교의 계단 위에서 단을 달리하여 상단의 석축을 변화있게 꾸며 조화를 이루었다. 안양문 앞에서는 밑에서부터 수직으로 석축을 쌓되 중간 중간 칸을 이루어 다듬은 석주(石柱)와 인방석을 가구식으로 걸고, 그 가운데를 자연석으로 채운 행태이다. 자하문이나 범영루 앞의 하층 석축은 밑에서부터 거대한 자연석을 쌓고 그 위에 가공석재를 가구식으로 짜 올린 특이한 형태를 하고 있으며, 범영루의 돌출부 기둥 밑에는 점차형의 석재를 차곡차곡 쌓아 돌기둥을 만들었고, 또 석교 밑에서는 정교한 홍예를 이루고 있다.
대웅전과 극락전 구역의 서측회랑 하부 석축이 포함되는데, 구조형식을 살펴보면 수직의 석주와 수평의 주두석 및 동자주, 초석, 갑석으로 장방형의 격자 틀을 형성하고, 그 안에 자연석을 밀실하게 채워 넣는 수법으로 쌓았으며, 대웅전 석축은 1단, 극락전 석축은 2단으로 구성되어 약간의 차이가 있다.
큰 틈이 생기는 석제로 듬성듬성 쌓아올린 부분은 고구려 석축, 가장 빈 틈이 없이 석제를 쌓아올린 부분은 신라 석축, 그 둘의 중간쯤 되게 쌓아올린 부분은 백제 석축이라고 한다.
가구식 석축과 연결되어 있는 청운·백운교 및 연화·칠보교는 일찍이 그 가치를 인정받아 국보로 지정되어 있으며, 가구식 석축 또한 8세기 중엽에 조성된 석조건축으로 건축적 조형미는 물론 그 기법이 매우 독특하여 신라 석조건축의 높은 수준을 잘 보여주므로 보물로 지정되었다.
도한호

도한호(都漢鎬, 1939년 4월 25일~)는 대한민국의 시인이며 신학자 겸 대학 교수이다.
그는 조직신학을 가르쳤고 한국침례신학대학교 총장을 역임하였다.
본관은 성주(星州)이며 아호(雅號)는 남재(南齊)이고 일제 강점기 경상북도 경주군 경주읍(지금의 대한민국 경상북도 경주시) 출생이며 1963년 시인으로 첫 등단하였다.
다이아몬드 타워

다이아몬드 타워(영어: Diamond Tower)는 부산광역시 중구 광복동의 용두산공원에 세워진 부산을 상징하는 관광탑으로 1973년 10월 11일에 완공되었다. 2021년까지는 부산타워로 불렸으나 이후 새단장을 하면서 현재 명칭으로 변경되었다.
1972년, 부산시가 민간자본 유치계획에 따라 도원관광이 총 공사비 4억 2,500만원을 들여 10월 착공해서 1973년 10월 11일에 완공, 개관하였다.
2014년에는 시설 노후화로 현대화 사업이 필요하다는 여론에 따라 159억원을 들여 부산타워와 용두산공원 일대를 재정비했다. 2017년 2월에는 부산타워 민간사업자 공모에 CJ푸드빌이 선정되어 5년간 위탁운영을 맡기로 계약했으나 코로나 19로 인해 운영을 포기하면서 2021년 1월 1일에 부산타워는 문을 닫게 되었다.
2021년 12월 15일, 부산타워의 새 운영사 비엔그룹은 부산타워의 별칭을 다이아몬드 타워로 정하고 임시 개장하였다. 다이아몬드 타워는 광안대교 별칭 '다이아몬드 브릿지'에서 따온 것이다. 부산타워 맞은편에는 대선주조 브랜드 스토어인 'ㄷㅅ'이 개장했다. 현재 다이아몬드 타워는 정상 운영 중이다.
부산을 상징하는 이 탑은 해발 69m에 높이 120m로 세워졌으며 나상기 홍익대학교 교수가 설계하였다. 전망대로 가는 엘리베이터가 2대 있으며, 꼭대기 전망대는 총 2개 층으로 구성되어 있고, 이는 경주 불국사 다보탑 지붕에 얹혀 있는 보개(寶蓋)를 본떠 만들어졌다.
전망대에서는 부산항, 민주공원, 영도대교, 부산대교, 부산항, 자갈치시장, 남항대교, 오륙도 부산역등 부산 도심을 볼 수 있다. 맑은 날에는 대마도까지 보일 수 있다.
골굴사

골굴사(骨窟寺)는 경주시의 함월산에 위치한 사찰로서, 선무도(禪武道)의 총본산이다. 「한국의 소림사」라는 별명이 있다.
약 1,500여 년 전 인도에서 온 광유 선인 일행이 경주 함월산에 정착하면서 골굴사와 기림사를 창건했다고 한다. 이 중에서 골굴사는 광유스님 일행이 인도의 석굴 사원을 본떠서 석굴사원 형태로 조성한 국내에서 가장 오래 된 석굴사원이다.
조선 중기 겸재 정선의 그림으로 볼 때 골굴사는 여러 석굴들 앞에 목조 전실을 만들고 여기에 기와를 얹은 형태이다. 조선 중후기에 화재로 소실된 상태로 방치되었다가 지금으로부터 약 70여 년 전 경주에 사는 박씨 일가가 상주하면서 다시 사찰로 만들었고, 1989년에 한 개인에게 매매되어 넘어간 상태였던 것을 당시 기림사 주지였던 설적운 스님이 매입해서 지금은 대한불교조계종 제11교구본사 불국사의 말사로 등록되었다.
주불인 마애여래좌상(보물 제581호)이 문무대왕의 수중릉을 바라보는 방향으로 조성되어 있으며, 이를 중심으로 주변에 관음굴, 지장굴, 약사굴, 나한굴, 신중단, 칠성단, 산신당 등의 굴법당과 더불어 남근바위, 여궁 등의 민간 전례신앙의 흔적까지 있어 한국적인 석굴사원의 특징을 보여주고 있다.
근래에 이르러 골굴사에는 불가의 전통 수행법인 선무도 수련원이 개설되어 내국인은 물론 수많은 외국인들이 전통의 불교무예를 배우는 도량으로 자리 잡았다.
골굴사 마애여래좌상은 9세기 통일신라시대에 조성되었다. 응회암 재질의 암벽에 조성된 불상으로 골굴사의 주불이라 할 수 있다. 동해를 바라보게 조성된 이 불상은 온화한 미소를 머금은 상호에 화려한 연꽃과 불꽃이 조화를 이룬 광배가 바라보는 사람들 마음까지 편안하게 한다.
골굴사에서 10킬로미터쯤 떨어진 바닷가에는 감은사지와 문무대왕릉이 있다. 골굴사 마애불이 바라보는 남동쪽 방향에 놓인 감은사지에는 신라탑의 원형을 이루는 감은사지 3층 석탑(국보 제112호)이 쌍탑으로 서 있다. 우리나라 석탑 가운데 13.4미터에 달하는 규모도 놀랍지만 정밀하게 균형감을 이룬 형태미도 다른 어느 석탑에 비해 빠지지 않아 한국 석탑의 규범을 이룬다는 평가를 받고 있다.
감은사지에서 남동쪽 바다 가운데 솟은 바위섬이 바로 문무대왕릉이다. 죽어서도 침입하는 왜구를 막으려 했던 문무왕의 유골이 묻힌 수중릉으로 둘레 200m의 바위섬에 동서와 남북으로 십자 모양의 물길을 깎고 가운데 작은 연못처럼 파인 모양이다.
골굴사에 석굴사원이 조성되고 지금은 불교 고유의 무술인 선무도가 전승되는 도량으로 자리 잡는 데에 있어 같은 축선 상에 놓인 감은사와 대왕릉은 서로 밀접한 연관이 있는 것이 아닌가 추측하게 된다.
소림사의 승려들이 소림권(쿵푸)를 연마하는 것처럼 골굴사의 승려들도 선무도를 연마한다.
골굴사에서는 내·외국인을 위한 다양한 템플스테이 프로그램을 운영하고 있다.
경주 불국사 금동비로자나불좌상

경주 불국사 금동비로자나불좌상(慶州 佛國寺 金銅毘盧遮那佛坐像)은 대한민국 경상북도 경주시 불국사 비로전에 있는 남북국 시대 신라의 금동 불상이다. 1962년 12월 20일 대한민국의 국보 제26호 불국사 금동비로자나불좌상으로 지정되었다가, 2010년 6월 28일 현재의 명칭으로 변경되었다.
경주시 토함산 기슭에 자리잡은 불국사는 통일신라 경덕왕 10년(751) 김대성의 발원에 의해 창건된 사찰로, 『삼국유사』에 의하면 김대성은 현세의 부모를 위해 불국사를, 전생의 부모를 위해 석굴암 석굴을 창건하였다고 한다. 불국사 비로전에 모셔져 있는 높이 1.77m의 이 불상은 진리의 세계를 두루 통솔한다는 의미를 지닌 비로자나불을 형상화한 것이다.
머리에는 머리칼을 작은 소라 모양으로 표현하였으며, 얼굴은 위엄이 있으면서도 자비로운 인상을 풍기고 있다. 왼쪽 어깨에만 걸쳐 입은 옷은 매우 얇게 표현되어 있다. 자연스럽게 흘러내리고 있는 옷주름의 표현은 매우 사실적이다. 손모양은 오른손 검지를 왼손으로 감싸고 있어 비로자나불이 취하는 일반적인 손모양과는 반대로 표현되었다.
이 불상은 양감과 적절한 신체비례 등에서 이상적이면서 세련된 통일신라시대 불상의 모습을 엿볼 수 있으며, 경주 불국사 금동아미타여래좌상(국보 제27호), 경주 백률사 금동약사여래입상(국보 제28호)과 함께 통일신라 3대 금동불상으로 불린다.
퇴폐이발소

퇴폐이발소(頹廢理髮所)는 이발소로 위장한 성매매 업소이다.
관행적으로 표시등이 1개면 정상 이발소, 2개면 퇴폐 영업을 한다고 알려져 있으나 정확한 조사결과는 없다. 정상적인 이발소하고의 차이점은 다음과 같다.
구강성교, 성행위, 자위행위가 이루어지기도 한다. 현재는 대딸방이 등장하여 과거보다 숫자가 줄어 찾아보기 힘들다. 남성 휴게실(휴게텔) 혹은 스포츠 마사지, 아로마, 피부관리실, 스트레칭, 체형관리, 쑥찜 등으로 위장하기도 한다. 주로 서울특별시 동대문구 장안동에 밀집되어 있었으나 경찰 단속에 적발되어 폐업하고 말았다. 현재는 도시의 변두리 지역, 지방 도시에 분포되어 있다.
경주 이씨

경주 이씨(慶州 李氏)는 경상북도 경주시를 본관으로 하는 한국의 성씨이다.
시조는 신라의 건국 신화에 나오는 사로(斯盧) 6촌 중 알천양산촌(閼川楊山村)의 촌장으로 전해지는 표암공(瓢巖公) 알평(謁平)이다. 《경주이씨 대종보(大宗譜)》 상계편에 의하면 알평은 6촌 촌장의 수장으로 화백회의를 주재하고 박혁거세를 옹립하여 신라 건국의 원훈으로 좌명공신(佐命功臣)이 되었고, 아찬(阿粲)에 올랐다고 한다. 32년(유리이사금 9년) 알천양산촌은 급량부(及梁部)로 개칭되었고, 이씨(李氏) 성을 사성(賜姓)받았다고 한다.
중시조는 소판공(蘇判公) 이거명(李居明)이다. 이색이 찬한 이제현(李齊賢) 묘지명(墓地銘)에 신라 말 소판(蘇判) 벼슬을 지낸 이거명 이후의 세계가 기록되어 있어, 이거명을 1세로 기세(起世)하고 있다.
경주의 옛 이름이 월성(月城)이므로 월성 이씨(月城 李氏)라고도 한다. 경주 이씨의 세계(世系)는 고려 말 중시조의 15~21세(14~20세손)에서 14대파로 분파하였다.
중조 15세 열헌(悅軒) 이핵(李翮)의 본손 계대가 중조 16세, 17세에서 평리성암공파, 이암공파, 익재공파, 호군공파, 국당공파, 부정공파, 상서공파, 사인공파 8대파로 나뉘고, 중시조 지손 계대가 15세, 21세, 19세에서 판전공파, 월성군파, 직장공파, 석탄공파, 진사공파, 교감공파 6대파 총 14개 대파로 분파되고 다시 아래로 내려오면서 중소 70여개 파로 분파된다.
14개 대파는 평리성암공파(評理誠菴公派- 파조 16세 李仁挺 이인정)· 이암공파(怡庵公派- 파조 17세 李琯 이관)· 익재공파(益齋公派- 파조 17세 李齊賢 이제현)· 호군공파(護軍公派- 파조 17세 李之正 이지정)· 국당공파(菊堂公派- 파조 17세 李蒨 이천)· 부정공파(副正公派- 파조 17세 李邁 이매)· 상서공파(尙書公派- 파조 17세 李薖 이과)· 사인공파(舍人公派- 파조 17세 李蓨 이조)· 판전공파(判典公派- 파조 15세 李康+羽 이강)· 월성군파(月城君派- 파조 21세 李之秀 이지수)· 직장공파(直長公派- 파조 19세 李養吾 이양오)· 석탄공파(石灘公派- 파조 19세 李存吾 이존오)· 진사공파(進士公派- 파조 19세 李存中 이존중)· 교감공파(校勘公派- 파조 19세 李存斯 이존사)이다. 경주 이씨 14개 대파 중에서 익재공파, 국당공파, 상서공파 이들 3파가 가장 번창하고 주축이다.
경주 이씨 월성군파에 대해서 2개의 분파도가 있다. 첫째 경주 이씨 분파도는 신우를 중시조의 12세로 둘째 경주 이씨 분파도는 신우를 중시조의 7세로 되어있다.
경주 이씨의 시조 이알평(李謁平)에 연원을 두고 있는 분관이 많지만 상당수는 계대 확인이 안 되어 분적종 승인을 받지 못하고 있다. 경주 이씨의 확인된 분관은 8본이다. 시조 후손에서 분적한 합천 이씨(陜川李氏 - 분적조 강양군 李開 이개) · 차성 이씨(車城李氏 - 분적조 차성군 李渭 이위)· 우계 이씨(羽溪李氏 - 분적조 중서사인 좌복야공 李陽植 이양식)와 중시조 이거명(李居明)의 후손 계대에서 원주 이씨(原州李氏- 분적조 23세 경원군 李攀桂 이반계) · 아산 이씨(牙山李氏 - 분적조 6세 증사공공 李周佐 이주좌) · 재령 이씨(載寧李氏 - 분적조 7세 재령군 李禹偁 이우칭) · 진주 이씨(晋州李氏 - 분적조 18세 대제학공 李永榟 이영재. 벽호공 李君榟 이군재)· 장수 이씨(長水李氏 - 분적조 장천부원군 李林幹 이임간) 등이 이에 속하며 그 외 많은 이씨가 경주이씨 시조의 후손이라고 칭하고 있다.

Namsan (Gyeongju)

Namsan (Korean: 남산; lit. south mountain) is a 494-meter peak in the heart of Gyeongju National Park, just south of Gyeongju, South Korea. The mountain is within easy reach from the city and attracts a large number of domestic tourists. Namsan covers an area of about 8 km (north-south) by 12 km (east-west). Some 180 peaks are counted, of which Geumobong (468 m) and Gouibong (495 m) are the best-known. There are about 40 valleys.
Namsan is home to many historic and cultural remains, and is now part of the historic area around Gyeongju that was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage in 2000.
Namsan is home to many remains from the Silla period, including some tombs of Silla rulers. There are hundreds of remains scattered around the mountain. Poseokjeong is one of the most famous of these sites, lying at the foot of Namsan. Other remains include Korean Buddhist art, sculptures, about 80 carved reliefs, about 60 stone pagodas and remains of about 100 temples and palaces mostly built between the 7th and 10th century. 12 of these relicts are designated national treasures. It also contains the ruins of the fortress Namsansinseong.
The concentration of remains is particularly high at the foothills west of Namsan. The remains are thought to reflect the rise and fall of the Silla kingdom. Najeong Well is the mystic birthplace of King Park Hyeokgeose, founder of the Silla dynasty. Only a small stone with inscriptions remains of this site. According to legend, one day in 69 BC Seobeol—chieftain of Goheo village—spotted a white horse kneeling by Najeong well. When approaching the site to take a closer look, the horse disappeared, but he found an egg. From the egg hatched a boy who was chosen to become king at the age of 13.
The Yangsanjae shrine was built in honour of a founder who lived in Seorabeol before the Silla kingdom was established. A famous site is the three stone Buddha statue of Bae-ri. The site features three Buddha figures carved into stone. More recently, a roof was erected to protect the statues.
The sitting stone statue of Buddha in the Mireuk valley, the sitting image of Bodhisattva carved into a stone wall at Sinseonam are two of the designated national treasures. In addition, there are sites of local significance, such as the sitting figure of Sakyamuni carved on a rock in Samneung Valley. This figure is about 7 metres high and about 5 metres wide. It is the biggest sitting statue at Namsam.
Cheongwansa is a historic temple.
Namsan is not only known for the Silla remains, but also appreciated by visitors for its natural environment.

Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond

Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond (Korean: 동궁과 월지; Hanja: 東宮과 月池) are a Silla-era former palace and artificial pond in Gyeongju, South Korea. They were part of the palace complex of ancient Silla (57 BCE – 935 CE). It was constructed by order of King Munmu in 674 CE. The pond was formerly known as Anapji (안압지) and is situated at the northeast edge of the Wolseong Palace, in central Gyeongju. The pond is an oval shape; 200m from east to west and 180m from north to south. It contains three small islands.
Anapji was originally located near the palace of Silla called Banwolseong. It is written in Samguk Sagi: "During the era of King Munmu, a new pond was made in the palace and flowers and birds flourished in this pond". There is also mention of a royal reception held by King Gyeongsun in 931, when Silla was already crumbling. After the fall of Silla, the pond fell into disrepair for many centuries. The name Anapji appears in the 16th century Joseon era document Augmented Survey of the Geography of Korea (동국여지승람; 東國輿地勝覽) with the explanation that King Munmu made the pond with Taoist aesthetics.
As part of the renovation project of historic sites in Gyeongju, Anapji was dredged and rebuilt in 1974. The long-term excavation project from March 1975 to December 1986 released a large number of relics from the pond. Research revealed that the pond had been surrounded by stone walls, and that 5 buildings had been standing on the pond's west to south sides. Waterway systems were also detected. Almost 33,000 pieces of historic relics were excavated from the site. An abundance of unique and extraordinarily designed roof tiles, architectural materials, pottery, gilt bronze figures of Buddha, jewelry, accessories and other everyday items were discovered, offering an insight to Buddhist art and everyday life in Silla. Gyeongju city government tried to work on restoration project once again in 2018 but it was suspended because UNESCO opposed the project.
Anapji is currently allotted in Inwang-dong, Gyeongju and is part of Gyeongju National Park. Approximately 730 relics are on display at the Anapji Exhibition Hall, the special gallery of the Gyeongju National Museum. The site of Imhaejeon is also a part of the grounds, the most important building on the property and the structure used as the crown prince's palace. While some sites have been restored others have been left in the natural form.
Cho Hee-dae

Cho Hee Dae (Korean: 조희대; Hanja: 曺喜大; also written "Jo Hee-de"; born 6 June 1957) is a South Korean judge who has served as the 17th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Korea since his appointment by President Yoon Suk Yeol in December 2023.
Cho Hee-dae was born on 6 June 1957 in Gyeongju, South Korea. He graduated from Kyeongbuk High School and Seoul National University School of Law, and started his legal career as trial court judge in 1986. After almost thirty years of serving in South Korean ordinary courts as judge, he got promoted to associate justice of the Supreme Court of Korea, by nomination of 15th Chief Justice Yang Sung-tae and appointment from President Park Geun-hye in 2014. During his term as associate justice, he was well known for his conservative views, including making dissenting opinions arguing that Heather Cho should be punished for changing flight course in the nut rage incident, or making another dissenting opinions over case on whether to punish conscientious objector, supporting those objectors should be punished under conscription law of that time. After 6 years of term as associate justice in South Korean Supreme Court, Cho Hee-dae turned his eye to academia and began academic career as endowed chair professor at Sungkyunkwan University Law School from 2020.
Around the retirement of 16th Chief Justice Kim Myeong-su in September 2023, he was not President Yoon Suk Yeol's primary choice for next chief justice candidate. However, in October, when President Yoon's close friend judge Lee Gyun-ryong failed to be confirmed by the National Assembly due to his strongly conservative views and problems around family assets, the President had to look for candidates that can also satisfy Democratic Party of Korea, which held a majority in the National Assembly. Known as a moderately-conservative judge, Cho had a favourable public image because he did not serve as a private attorney after retiring from Supreme Court associate justice, which made him free from problems of Jeon-gwan ye-u, a somewhat common problem in South Korean judiciary that retired high level government lawyers using their former public career and network to pursue their own secular interests. This non-secular career of Jo as law professor after Supreme Court associate justice, led President Yoon to nominate him as candidate for 17th Chief Justice in November 2023.

Seokgatap (Korean: 석가탑; Hanja: 釋迦塔) is a Silla-era stone pagoda in the temple Bulguksa in Gyeongju, South Korea. It was designated National Treasure of South Korea No. 21 on December 20, 1962. The pagoda stands 10.75 meters high and directly across from another pagoda Dabotap. It probably dates to around 751, when Bulguksa was completed.
The Seokgatap is in distinct contrast with its more elaborate brother the Dabotap. The pagoda is of a very simple and basic design and the three stories have a pleasing 4:3:2 ratio which gives the pagoda a sense of balance, stability, and symmetry. The contrast between the simplicity of the Seokgatap and the complexity of the Dabotap is designed to represent the dual nature of the Buddha's contemplation and detachment from the world or perhaps it symbolizes the celestial versus the terrestrial.
The pagoda's three stories rest on a two tiered base. The simplicity of the pagoda is reinforced by the fact that there are no carvings or reliefs on the faces of the pagoda. Although, the pagoda is surrounded by eight lotus flower stones. The top of the pagoda, which is rather elaborate, was added in 1973 to match a pagoda that was built one hundred years after Seokgatap.
In 1966, robbers attempted to force the pagoda open and steal its contents, but they were prevented from doing so. While repairing the pagoda, on October 13, 1966, the treasures were uncovered for the first time. They found reliquaries, sariras, and the oldest extant example of printed material from a wood block in the world (The Great Dharani Sutra).
A sarira is a reliquary that contains the remains of an esteemed monk or sometimes royalty. After the failed theft by robbers, workers refurbishing and repairing the pagoda found the treasures hidden inside. Notably, the Dabotap pagoda was dismantled by the Japanese for repairs during the 1920s but no record mentions any treasure recovered. Treasures included a bronze image of a Buddhist spirit, a bronze mirror, a miniature wooden pagoda, silk, perfume, gogok, and beads. A bundle of papers were found in the foundation of the pagoda but they are illegible.
The sarira box is shaped like a house, and has an engraved roof. Each of the walls of the case have an engraved vine pattern that runs up to the roof. Lotus motifs are used throughout as well and the top of the roof has a leaf-shaped ornamentation.
The oldest extant woodblock print is a copy of the Mugujeonggwang, the Great Dharani Sutra. The text is the oldest extant printed material in the world for several reasons. The pagoda itself was built in 751, the print had to have been made before that date and no other printed material dates before 750–751 CE. It is 620 centimeters in length and eight centimeters in width. The print contains six to nine characters per line. The print has deteriorated due to oxidation and restorations were carried out to preserve the print.
Baghor stone

Baghor stone is an Upper Paleolithic archaeological object that was found in the Son river valley near the village of Medhauli, in the Sidhi District, Madhya Pradesh, India. The stone, interpreted as a cult object, was found at the site of Baghor I, which is located near the base of the Kaimur Escarpment. It was first excavated in 1980.
Baghor stone is a natural triangular piece of local sandstone; it is rather colourful, and had been decorated with yellow pigment. These types of stones may be found on top of the escarpment. The Baghor site, with all its many lithic artefacts, was probably formed between 9000 B.C and 8000 B.C. Researchers dated the Upper Paleolithic small blade industry at the site to be approximately 11,870 years old (± 120 YBP) or possibly older than 10,000 B.C. The research team mentioned in 1983 that there is a very strong possibility that the stone represents a shrine to Shakti.
The site was first excavated under the direction of archaeologists G. R. Sharma of Allahabad University and J. Desmond Clark of University of California, and assisted by Jonathan Mark Kenoyer and J.N. Pal.
This was determined as a short term occupation site. The floor was composed of rubble, and there was a lot of manufacturing waste from stone tool manufacture. Many varieties of backed blades and geometric microliths were found, as well as grinding stones and ring stones.
Later, as a lot of material was removed, a stone platform was identified, with the Baghor triangular stone in the center. This platform was interpreted as a site for ritual ceremonies.
Thus, it took archaeologists quite a lot of time to correctly identify the original role and meaning of the Baghor stone.
Numerous ethnographic comparisons have been made between the palaeolithic site of Baghor I and some of the other sites in the area that are still being honoured today by local peoples. Thus, Baghor site has been interpreted as the earliest mother goddess shrine in the subcontinent. Shakti worship is one of the local personifications of this tradition.
Specifically, the tribal groups Kol and Baiga, have been mentioned. Their primary subsistence has traditionally been hunting and gathering, and they currently worship at the sites rather similar to Baghor. These tribes have Dravidian affinities. A 2020 genetic study however on the Kol tribe found genetic and linguistic non-correspondence. The Kol share their more recent common ancestry with both the Dravidian and Indo-European speaking populations, and are genetically closer to the latter.
The living shrine at which it was found is currently used as a place for worshipping Devi by both Hindus and Indian Muslims. The triangular shape of the stone is that of the Kali Yantra which is also still in use across India. The Kol and Baiga tribes consider the triangular shape to symbolize the mother goddess 'Mai', variously named Kerai, Kari, Kali, Kalika or Karika.
Scenic Sites (South Korea)

Scenic Sites (Korean: 명승; Hanja: 名勝) is a national-level designation within the heritage preservation system of South Korea for natural places of significant historic, artistic, or scenic value. The system is administered by the Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA), an agency of the South Korean government. The registry was first created in 1979. As of 2020, there are 115 Scenic Sites.
The CHA defines the criteria for inclusion as "Places of natural beauty with great historic, artistic or scenic values, which feature distinctive uniqueness and rarity originated from their formation processes".

Daereungwon

Daereungwon (Korean: 대릉원; Hanja: 大陵園) is a complex of Silla-era tumuli tombs in Gyeongju, South Korea. Since 2011, it has been a designated Historic Site of South Korea. The site is now a popular tourist attraction; in 2023 it was reported that it had around 1 million visitors on average per year.
The complex contains 23 tombs of kings, queens, and nobles from the Silla period.
The tombs were first excavated during the 1910–1945 Japanese colonial period. The tomb Geumgwanchong was excavated in 1921, Geumnyeongchong in 1924, Singnichong in 1924, and Seobongchong in 1926. After the 1945 liberation of Korea, Houchong was excavated in 1946, Machong in 1953, and Ssangsangchong in 1963, and Cheonmachong in 1973.
Most tombs have their coffin below the ground level. Some have coffins semi or above the ground level. Stones were piled on top of the coffin, and then earth was piled on top of that. The sturdy construction of the tombs made them difficult for looters to access, which allowed for many of their relics to be well-preserved to the present. A number of relics have been designated National Treasures. Artifacts have continued to be excavated. In 2020, a pair of ceremonial gilt-bronze shoes dated to the late 5th and early 6th centuries was discovered in the complex.
The area is now a popular tourist attraction. In 2023, it was reported that there are light shows in the evening during which images are projected onto the tombs. Projections also explain their history.
Gyochon Traditional Village

Gyeongju (film)

Gyeongju (Korean: 경주) is a 2014 South Korean romantic comedy film written and directed by Zhang Lu, starring Park Hae-il and Shin Min-ah.
Choi Hyeon visits Korea to pay his respects to his recently deceased friend, Kim Chang-hee. He sees his other friend Kang. Hyeon is a history professor in China, but people often mistake him for a weirdo. When people try to connect with him, he snubs them, but maintains an outwardly close relation. After paying his respects, he roams around Gyeongju, capital of the Silla Kingdom, now famous for tombs and tumuli. He visits a teahouse that he, Kim, and Kang had visited seven years earlier. Hyeon gets curious about an erotic piece of art that had been displayed there and has since vanished, and shows an interest in the current owner of the teahouse, Gong Yun-hee. They start to spend the day together. She invites him to her bed, but he is preoccupied with his thoughts and the picture. He leaves in the morning, knowing that some people whom he saw yesterday have died. He wanders more. The next morning at the teahouse, Gong Yun-hee is curious about the erotic art which she has covered with wallpaper. A flashback follows in which Hyeon and his friends seated at the teahouse table comment on the erotic painting, which displays the words "Lets have a drink and then each other". Kim Chang-hee's widow appears to have been the previous owner of the teahouse.
Gyeongju World

Gyeongju World (Korean: 경주월드) is a theme park in Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea. Gyeongju World is composed of "X-Zone," "Snow Sled Garden," and "Wizard Garden." The X-Zone has rides such as the Phaethon, the Megadrop, the Tornado, and the Exploration of Grand Canyon. There are ski sleds, adult sleds, and children's sleighs in Snow Sled Garden. Wizard Garden is a children's area with a wide variety of children's rides.
Gyeongju Basin

The Gyeongju Basin is a landform in Gyeongju city, North Gyeongsang province, South Korea. It forms part of the watershed of the Hyeongsan River, which flows north through the basin where it is joined by the Bukcheon, Namcheon, Daecheon, and Sogyeon-cheon streams.
The basin is surrounded by low mountains, most of which are also part of Gyeongju National Park. Specifically, it is bordered by Gowi Mountain (495 m above sea level) on the south, Seondo Mountain (380 m) and Ongnyeo Peak (215 m) on the west, and Gumi Mountain (594 m) on the north. Namsan, a mountain composed of two peaks (466 m, 495 m), cuts the Gyeongju Basin into two parts at the southern end. The streams that flow from these mountains have formed a number of interlinked alluvial plains in the Basin.
The city center of Gyeongju, which was also the capital of the ancient Silla kingdom, occupies much of the basin. Various watershed management projects were undertaken even during Silla times, due to continuous flooding in the basin, caused by runoff from the neighboring mountains combined with inflow from the upper Hyeongsan River watershed. The most recent severe flood took place in 1991.
The basin is also home to a great number of important Korean cultural heritage assets, mostly related to its ancient role as capital of Silla. For example, the royal tombs of Silla are located there, as is the Gyerim forest. The slopes of the entire Namsan Mountain are covered in religious and ceremonial sites dating from the Mumun Pottery Period (c. 1500-300 B.C.) to the end of the Korean Three Kingdoms (c. AD 668). Namsan and environs is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Agriculture is also undertaken on a significant scale within the basin. The crops are primary staples such as rice, barley, and soybeans. The Gyeongju strain of rice grown here is particularly famous for its quality. However, the Gyeongju Basin has undergone significant environmental strain since the 1970s resulting the construction of tourist facilities, the expansion and industrialization of urban Gyeongju, intensive agriculture, and the construction and use of national public infrastructure such as expressways, highways, and high-speed rail.

Poi (dessert)

Poi is a traditional Samoan dessert made from mashing fruit into a smooth consistency and mixing in coconut milk and other flavourings.
Poi is traditionally prepared from bananas. Ripe bananas are peeled and added to a bowl with the addition of water. The bananas are kneaded along with the water with the hands until it resembled a smooth paste, with coconut cream mixed in. The Poi was served in cups made from coconut shells.
In a modern preparation, bananas are blended together along with cold water or ice, coconut milk and flavourings such as vanilla, lemon, lime or sugar in a mechanical blender into a smooth paste, poured into bowls or glasses and left to chill in a fridge for a few hours. Other fruits can replace bananas for poi in a recipe, such as mango which is known as Poi mago.
While Poi is similar to other Samoan desserts such as sua fa'i and supo esi, it differs from them as it isn’t thickened by starch and is eaten chilled, not hot.

Codillo de cerdo

El codillo de cerdo es una parte del despiece del cerdo: el codillo ubicado entre la unión de los dos huesos de la pata donde se forma el codo. El codillo tiene un sabor fuerte, es muy aromático, contiene abundante grasa y cuando se prepara es necesario que esté cociendo bastante tiempo; algunas recetas hablan de varias horas.
Es un asado típico de la gastronomía de Alemania y especialmente popular en Baviera.​ En alemán recibe el nombre de schweinshaxe,​ aunque también se lo conoce bajo las denominaciones de Hachse, Hechse, Haxe, Hämsche, Bötel o incluso Stelze. En Alemania se encuentra la mayoría de las veces en salazón; en Berlín se suele servir acompañado de puré de guisantes. En el sur de Alemania y en Austria se lo encuentra a menudo asado al horno. La versión austriaca de este plato, llamada stelze, suele marinarse o precocerse en una salmuera de ajo y alcaravia, asándose hasta que la piel queda crujiente y sirviéndose con mostaza, rábano picante y guindilla encurtida. De una manera general, en los países germánicos también suele acompañar el chucrut (Eisbein mit Sauerkraut).
En la cocina francesa se lo llama jarret de porc. El codillo, en Francia, puede comerse como plato principal: se lo asa al horno lentamente en su propia grasa hasta que esté crujiente en superficie, y se lo acompaña entonces con patatas o con verduras. Entra en la composición del chucrut alsaciano​ (choucroute) y es ocasionalmente utilizado como ingrediente para el petit salé aux lentilles​ (un plato de lentejas).
En algunos casos la cocina china cuece lentamente los ingredientes en salsas aromatizadas, como por ejemplo salsa de soja y vino de arroz. Uno de estos platos es el codillo de cerdo con azúcar que se encuentra en la región de Suchow-Wuhsi en el noroeste de Shanghái.
En la cocina polaca, la golonka es un codillo de cerdo previamente marinado y cocido, lo mismo que en Berlín y en el norte de Alemania. En las cartas de los restaurantes podemos ver "golonka po Bawarsku" (a la bávara), que además está asada al horno.
Rollo de tofu

El rollo de tofu o rollo de piel de tofu (chino tradicional 腐皮捲, simplificado 腐皮卷) es un tipo de dim sum.​ Se encuentra en los restaurantes de Hong Kong y otros países. Suelen servirse dos o tres unidades en un plato pequeño. En todos los casos, la capa exterior se hace de piel de tofu.​
Hay varios estilos, variando los retiros desde cerdo con verdura, a pescado o ternera.
La versión frita se conoce como fu pei gyun (腐皮捲). El primer carácter (fu) viene de tofu, aunque una versión más exacta es que la piel se hace a partir de requesón de judía. Algunos restaurantes cantoneses sirven la versión frita crujiente de noche, a menudo con mahonesa para mojar. Otro nombre es el tofu gyun (豆腐捲).​ Algunos ingredientes son brotes de bambú, zanahorias pequeñas, tofu, cebolletas, aceite de sésamo o brotes de judía.​
La versión de bambú al vapor suele conocerse como sin jyut gyun (鮮竹捲). Se envuelve en piel de tofu seca (腐竹, fu zhu). Durante el proceso de cocción, la piel de tofu se hidrata, lo que hace al rollo muy blando y tierno. Esta es la versión servida más comúnmente como dim sum durante las sesiones yum cha. Los rollos de tofu al vapor contienen a menudo brotes de bambú.
Escudo del Tolima

El Escudo del Tolima es el principal emblema del departamento Tolimense y uno de los símbolos oficiales del departamento colombiano del Tolima. Fue aprobado por la Ley del 7 de diciembre de 1815 ordenada por la Sala Unida de la Provincia de Mariquita y sancionado por José León Armero, quien era el gobernador y general al mando. En 1861 un nuevo escudo de armas fue adoptado por el Estado Soberano del Tolima por medio del Decreto del 12 de abril del mismo año y oficialmente readoptada el 7 de septiembre. En 1886 desaparece el Tolima como Estado Soberano y constituirse en Departamento Tolimense volvió a adoptar el viejo emblema de Mariquita.​​
El decreto que creó los emblemas para el Estado Libre de Mariquita, describía el escudo de la siguiente manera:​
Al ser adoptado por el departamento del Tolima, se retiró del blasón el lema que aludía a Mariquita, y la cinta tricolor se cambió a amarillo, azul y rojo, los colores de la bandera de Colombia.
La descripción heráldica moderna y más correcta es:

Arroz con gandules

Arroz con gandules is a combination of rice, pigeon peas, and pork, cooked in the same pot with sofrito. This is Puerto Rico's national dish along with roasted pork.
This dish is mainly served during the Christmas season or for special occasions. The sofrito is the most important part of seasoning the rice. In Puerto Rican cooking sofrito, which is used as a base in many recipes, typically consists of the following ingredients: Recao, cilantro, yellow onions, garlic, aji dulce peppers, red bell pepper, cubanelle peppers, and tomatoes or tomato sauce. Sofrito is blended into a watery or paste consistency. The idea is for the rice to absorb the sofrito for maximum flavor. Tomatoes are typically roasted the day of preparation while the rest of the ingredients can be prepared together days in advance. The tomatoes are squeezed through a fine strainer discarding the seeds and skin.
The day of cooking the first step is cooking the pigeon peas if they are being prepared from dried form or fresh, although the canned and frozen variety are widely available in Latino markets or supermarkets in cities where there is a significant Puerto Rican population. In a separate pot, annatto seeds are heated with an oil such as olive oil, or lard. The oil is strained and seeds are discarded. Annatto oil gives the rice a distinctive yellow/orange color.
Salt pork, ham, smoked ham hocks, bacon, salchichón (salami), or chorizo is added alone or in combination. The sofrito is also sauteed in the annatto oil to release the aromatics and cooked until most of the water has evaporated while stirring gently.
A mix of manzanilla olives, piquillo peppers, and capers fermented together called alcaparrado is added with bay leaves are then added and cooked until sauce is thick almost to a paste. Rice, pigeon peas, salt, black pepper, cumin, and in some recipes orégano brujo and coriander seeds are then added and stirred until the rice is coated with sofrito. Broth is then poured into the pot and cooked on high heat then lowered once boiling starts and covered with a plantain leaf and lid. Plantain leaves give the rice more flavor, aroma and helps cook quicker. In the countryside this is cooked over open fire pit sometimes in clay pots that help boost the flavor.
A version called arroz con gandules apastelado or simply arroz con gandules adds mashed green plantain into the rice and plantain peels as a cover with additional plantain leaf.
