Bukhansan Monument, Stone stele in Yongsan-dong, South Korea
The Bukhansan Monument stands 154 centimeters tall and 69 centimeters wide, constructed on a two-story pedestal with rectangular proportions.
The monument was erected between 561 and 568 CE during the reign of King Jinheung of Silla to mark territorial expansion into the Han River valley.
The inscription contains 12 lines of 32 characters each, written in Haeseoche Chinese calligraphy style, detailing the royal inspection of new borders.
The stone monument, currently housed in the National Museum of Korea, was moved from Bibong Peak to Gyeongbokgung Palace for preservation purposes.
Kim Jeonghui, a notable calligrapher, rediscovered this ancient stone monument in 1816 during Emperor Sunjo's reign after centuries of obscurity.
