Ssanggyesa Temple, South Gyeongsang Province

Stele and Daeungjeon

A flight of stairs lead up to the Ssanggyesa Daeungjeon, the main hall, with its gabled roof and five rooms in front and three on the side. In front on the plaza is the historic Jingam’s stele. The text on the body of the stele was written by the famed Confucian-Daoist scholar, Goun (Choi Chi-won). It dates back to 886-887, and describes the history of the temple. Nine dragons dance around its capstone, while a dragon-like turtle bears the burden of the ancient stone’s weight.
