Silsangsa Temple was founded in the 3rd year of King Heungdeok of Silla (828), when Jeunggak Buddhist Monk estimated Silsangsanmun, one of the nine mountain gates. It is said that if a temple is not built here, the spirit of our country will go to Japan, according to the theory of feng shui geography. It was rebuilt in the 26th year of King Sukjong's reign (1700) of the Joseon Dynasty, but it was almost burned down in the 19th year of King Gojong's reign (1882) and only part of it remained. Currently, it has 17 local cultural properties, the most as a single temple, including a three-story stone pagoda of Baekjangam Hermitage and 11 treasures, which are about 5m high, which are national treasures. The driveway is in the middle of a rice field, and the temple is surrounded by trees, not in the mountains. The stone guardian post that you can see after passing Haetalgyo Bridge, a half-moon-shaped stone bridge, from the entrance of the temple is impressive.

* Sari Pagoda in a hand-rolled image *

It was designated as a treasure as the pagoda of Sucheolhwasang, a monk of the Unified Silla Dynasty, in the grounds of Silsangsa Temple in Ipseok-ri, Sannae-myeon, Namwon-si, Jeollabuk-do. It is 3m high, and the material is granite. It is a sarira pagoda built by monks to enshrine sarira after entering the temple, and is commonly called Budo. This pagoda belongs to Sucheolhwasang, a monk from the Unified Silla Period, who was a disciple of Hongchukguksa Temple and was the second temple of Silsangsanmun, originally staying at Simwonsa Temple, and later came to Silsangsa Temple to become the second founder of this temple. In 893 (the 7th year of Queen Jinseong's reign), when Sucheol Hwa-sang was 77 years old, Queen Jinseong gave the title of Sucheol Hwa-sang and named the tower Neunggabowol. Currently, it is located on the right toward the Geungnakjeon Hall of Silsangsa Temple.

* A faithful description of the architectural style of the wooden building *

This pagoda is a typical octagonal Wondang-shaped pagoda of the Unified Silla Period, consisting of octagonal angles from the foundation stone to the roof stone. The stylobate consists of three stages, and the lower stage is carved with patterns such as clouds, dragons, and lions, but it is difficult to recognize due to severe abrasion, and pillars are engraved on each corner of the platform. The opponent carved several layers of Bokryeon, the petals are wide and the center part is slightly raised. An octagonal pedestal is placed on the opponent, and a pagoda body and a roof stone are placed on it, and the pagoda body is carved with a gate monument and a statue of Four Heavenly Kings on each side. The roof stone is thick, and the detailed style of wooden architecture is faithfully described, such as the delicate carving of lotus trees under the eaves and tile valleys on the slopes of the roof. The upper part has only a few floors left, but the rest is gone. Next to the stupa, there is the "Actual Suksusu Cheolhwasangaunggabowoltapbi," which shows the date, activities, and life of Sucheolhwasang. This pagoda is based on the octagonal Wondang-type stupa style of the Unified Silla Period, and is considered an important work in that it faithfully depicts the detailed style of wooden architecture.

* Saritap Pagoda of Hongchuk Ambassador of Unified Silla *

It is a 2.42m high tower of Hongchok, a monk of the Unified Silla Dynasty, located in the precincts of Silsangsa Temple in Inje-ri, Sannae-myeon, Namwon-si, Jeollabuk-do, and is designated as a treasure. The stupa is a sarira pagoda built by monks to enshrine sarira after they entered the temple, and is called Budo. This pagoda is the sarira pagoda of Great Master Hongchuk. Ambassador Hong Cheok entered the Tang Dynasty during the reign of King Heongang of the Unified Silla Dynasty and returned to Korea in 826 (the 1st year of King Heungdeok). He is the Gaesanjo of Silsangsanmun, Jirisan Mountain, the first prose of the Gusan Seonmun of the late Silla Dynasty. The date of the entry of Ambassador Hongchuk is unknown, but it is estimated to be in the mid-9th century, and it seems that the pagoda was also built around this time. The title of Master Hongchuk is Jeunggak, and the name of the pagoda is Eungyotap.
