In the book of , it is recorded that the names of ingressive stone stairs to the main shrine were Cheongwoongyo(blue cloud bridge) and Baekwoongyo(white cloud bridge) and the names of stairs to the paradise hall were Yeonwhagyo(lotus bridge) and Chilbogyo(seven treasure bridge). But, the ingressive stone stairs to the main shrine and the paradise hall are single consecutive stairs with 2 levels respectively. Because of this, it is rather hard to clearly designate the names to the upper level and the lower level stairs. But, of the stairs to the Paradise hall, the lower stairs have a carving of lotus, and the upper stairs have seven stairs. In this aspect of artifacts, we can safely assume that the upper stairs are Chilbogyo and the lower are Yeonwhagyo. But, for the ingressive stairs to the main shrine, there is no such artificial hint. So, it is difficult to designate the upper and the lower stairs for the two bridges. Especially, it is not clear whether the descriptive order of "lower stairs upper stairs" in the names of Yeonwhagyo and Chilbogyo can be applied to the names of stairs to the main shrine. It is because the general descriptive order is "upper lower" rather than "lower upper." Even though there have been many studies on the Bulguksa temple, the study on the ingressive stone stairs to the main shrine has not made till now. Therefore, the study on the position of Cheongwoongyo and Baekwoongyo stairs can have its validity. In this paper, the positional approach to Cheongwoongyo and Baekwoongyo has been made in following aspects: First, the temple structure of Bulguksa; Second, the five element theory of oriental philosophy and the Book of Changes; Third, the directional consciousness of Buddhism. Through the aspects, the validity of up-down position of Cheongwoongyo and Baekwoongyo has been sought. In this research, it can be concluded that the upper level of ingressive stone stairs to the main shrine of Bulguksa is Cheongwoongyo and the lower level is Baekwoongyo. When considered in the Buddhist directional consciousness, it forms the total structure of "East-Cheongwoongyo South- Baekwoongyo West-Yeonwhagyo North-Chilbogyo."

Bulguk Temple, one of the national temples, sublimated the high formalism and symbolism into lovely art, and thus be called the pinnacle of Korean architecture. Of many characteristic structures of Bulguk Temple, the stone stereobate and stairs have a great importance in that we can read out the purpose of the architect through their relics. Especially, the stone stairs are noteworthy for they structuralize the intentional space division. The objects of this observation are Yeonwhagyo and Chilbogyo bridges at the entrance of Keungnakjeon precinct, and Cheongwoongyo and Baekwoongyo stairs at the entrance of Daewoongjun precinct. All these relics are the structures that divide the precinct areas on the basis of Buddhist theory and have strong symbolic meanings as well. Although the diverse studies have made on the structures, there are many insufficient aspects for the manifestation of the meanings. In this study, I considered the Buddhist dogmatic meanings of the structures in the formalistic view of the Buddhist architecture. The study was proceeded in the way that the establishments of former studies were fully reflected in it. Through the study, I could confirm that the objects of consideration have the double formalistic meanings and they are strongly structuralizing the symbolism.

경주지역의 화강암은 남산의 알칼리장석화강암과 토함산의 화강암섬록암으로 세분할 수 있다. 경주지역은 이들의 화강암재질의 암석을 석재로 한 석조문화재가 많이 분포하고 있다. 이러한 석조문화재는 시간이 지남에 따라 풍화와 구조적인 문제로 인하여 원형을 잃어가고 있어 그 보존에 관한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 보존과 복원을 위해서 석재에 대한 조사가 필요하나 문화재라는 특수성으로 인해 비파괴검사를 통한 연구가 필요하며 이런 의미에서 자연 상태의 방사선량을 측정하여 암석을 구분하는 감마스펙트로미터 분석은 매우 유용한 검사방법이 될 수 있다. 석조문화재가 분포하는 주변 산지인 남산과 토함산의 화강암철 암석에 대한 육안관찰과 지화학적 분석을 실시하였다. 주변산지의 지형경관 분석결과 절리, 토르, 핵석 등이 석재 채취와 관련성이 있을 것으로 추정되었다. 감마스적트로미터 분석 결과 불국사 내의 다보탑, 석탑, 연화 칠보교, 청운 백운교 등과 나원리 5층석탑은 토함산이 아닌 남산에서 화강암이 공급되었을 가능성이 높은 것으로 확인되었으며 석굴암의 석재는 토함산에서 채취한 화강섬록암과 동일한 암석으로 확인되었다.
