I went to National Folk Museum. The most interesting thing was about Pal-man-dae-jang-gyeong. It was made during the Koryo Period. They made it because they wanted to get some help from Buddha because of Mongolians. It is a great collection of Buddhist scriptures in 8000 wood blocks. Amazingly, there is no trace of errors or emissions on any wood block. It was registered on UNESCO’s world cultural heritage list in December of 1995.
I think it is stupid to make Pal-man-dae-jang-gyeong during Mongolians coming to Korea. In my opinion it would be more helpful if we made more weapons instead of making Pal-man-dae-jang-gyeong. But, in other side, it made our good cultural roperties. It was a good chance to learn more about Korea’s history. |
