A Study on the Changes of Temples in the Geumgangsan Mountain Area of North Gangwon-do - Focusing on the 17th to 18th Centuries -

Historical records of Buddhist temples in Mount Geumgangsan, a renowned Korean mountain, reveal significant changes during the 17th to 18th centuries. The study, based on firsthand accounts from monks and travelers, reconstructs the appearance of temples and monastic practices despite limited field access due to political restrictions and post-Korean War destruction. These travelogues, serving as primary sources, provide invaluable insights into the cultural and religious landscape of the era, offering a unique window into the past when direct observation is impossible.
