To
know the background on building BulGukSa, you need to check
the King |
|
| |
SeongDeok's
family tree first. |
|
| |
The
Great King, SeongDeok lost his father at the age of 3 and
his mother at 11. |
|
| |
He
succeeded to the throne from his elder brother at 13. |
|
| |
He
married at 15 but soon he was forced to divorce by his relatives. |
|
| |
And
he married again but at this time his wife died at the age
of 25. |
|
| |
The
Great King SeongDeok was so sad that he decided to devote
himself |
|
| |
to taking
care of his two sons instead of marrying again. |
|
| |
His
elder son, HyoSeong succeeded to the throne but he was assassinated
|
|
| |
by his
relatives at 22. |
|
| |
The
next king was GyeongDeok(20). |
|
| |
He
was very wise. He dealt with his relatives firmly, specially
on his wife side. |
|
| |
After
retaining his power, he started to set up temples to memorize
his father, |
|
| |
SeongDeok. |
|
| |
Thus,
BulGukSa and SeokGulAm got to be built by Kim Dae-seong. |
|
| |
and
Dae-seong's another sad
story on his parents was mingled again. |
