thanks for supporting my fellow friend..slowwalker..

anyway , let's focus on the topic,

let me go back on the history..

Goryeo (고려; 高麗; [ko.ɾjʌ]; 918–1392), also spelled as Koryŏ, was a Korean kingdom established in 918 by King Taejo. This kingdom later gave name to the modern exonym "Korea".It united the Later Three Kingdomsin 936 and ruled most of the Korean Peninsula until it was removed by the founder of the Joseon in 1392.

Two of this period's most notable products are celadon pottery and the Tripitaka Koreana—the Buddhist canon (Tripiṭaka) carved onto more than 80,000 woodblocks and stored (and still remaining) at Haeinsa. The oldest surviving metal movable type book, the Jikji, was printed in 1377.

the art and the site speaks itself on the kingdom history, culture and religion.

In the 13th century Koryŏ suffered from a series of invasions by the Mongols. King Kongmin (1352–74) attempted a set of reforms to drive out the invaders and eliminate their influence from the court, but without success. Finally, in 1392, the newly emerged Confucian scholar Gen. Yi Sŏng-gye overthrew the shaky dynasty and founded the Chosŏn (Yi) dynasty (1392–1910).

your article was very informative and very set on details on the religion art style.
