What was left in the ruined temple place was not so much.
Actually the open and desolate space might be suited for the ruined temple place.
The most prominent thing among those things could be found in the ruins was the monument for the great monk.
The monument was placed on the bottom made up of the stone which had been carved after the turtle.
The meaning of the turtle in the far eastern society is living a long life.
The owner of this monument was said the great monk Won Jong who had lived in early Goryeo Dynasty.
When the body where the record was written was found, it was broken into several pieces.
The body was sent to the museum for the protection. Instead the imitation was made there.
So the head part and the bottom were real and the body was the imitation.
The head part was carved after the dragon. Its appearance looked as real
The bottom part was made after the turtle. And the turtle was also vivid as the dragon of the head part.
The tail, the feet and the back was as precise as the real one.
The appearances seemed to be exaggerated a little.
My mom was so interested in the monument and the carved appearances.
