The Foundation and History of the Ancient Middle Ages in Chungju

This paper is a study to examine the significance of the founding of temples and their history after the introduction of Buddhism in order to understand the Buddhist culture of Chungju. As Goguryeo Buddhism moved south, the tower, which symbolizes Chungju, the central area of the peninsula, is the central tower of the Buddhist community established to pray for the harmony of the people of the three countries. The temples once annotated by Kim Saeng and Buddhist monk Tanyeon, known as masterpieces, are Kim Saengsa and Uirimsa. In addition, Chungju Temple, chaired by a high priest and a national history of Goryeo Buddhism, stayed Jeongto Temple, which was annotated by Hongbeopguksa of Beopdaesa Temple in his later years, and Wonmyeongguksa Wonyongguksa Temple, which was founded by the King Gwangjong, his mother Yoo. The appearance of Noinseong, the second brightest star in the night sky that appeared in Chungju Jukjangsa Temple, was enough to attract the attention of the Goryeo royal family. He was the governor of Mireukdaewonsa Temple, chaired by Kim Yun-hoo, and monk Ubon. Uirimsa Temple, which was also known as the site of the Grand Palace and raised the theory of Chungju during the King Gongmin

Abstract

This paper is a study to examine the significance of the founding of temples and their history after the introduction of Buddhism in order to understand the Buddhist culture of Chungju. As Goguryeo Buddhism moved south, the tower, which symbolizes Chungju, the central area of the peninsula, is the central tower of the Buddhist community established to pray for the harmony of the people of the three countries. The temples once annotated by Kim Saeng and Buddhist monk Tanyeon, known as masterpieces, are Kim Saengsa and Uirimsa. In addition, Chungju Temple, chaired by a high priest and a national history of Goryeo Buddhism, stayed Jeongto Temple, which was annotated by Hongbeopguksa of Beopdaesa Temple in his later years, and Wonmyeongguksa Wonyongguksa Temple, which was founded by the King Gwangjong, his mother Yoo. The appearance of Noinseong, the second brightest star in the night sky that appeared in Chungju Jukjangsa Temple, was enough to attract the attention of the Goryeo royal family. He was the governor of Mireukdaewonsa Temple, chaired by Kim Yun-hoo, and monk Ubon. Uirimsa Temple, which was also known as the site of the Grand Palace and raised the theory of Chungju during the King Gongmin
