Five storied stone pagoda of Jeongnimsa Temple site, Stone pagoda at Jeongnimsa Temple archaeological area in Buyeo, South Korea.

The Five-story Stone Pagoda at Jeongnimsa Temple Site is a granite structure 8.33 m tall, standing on a low, narrow single-tier base with pillar stones at each corner and in the middle of each face. Above it, a thick rectangular body supports five progressively smaller roof slabs with slightly upturned corners, topped by a stacked stone finial. Each story's body has corner pillars carved in the beheullim technique, with narrow ends and a convex middle.

The pagoda stands on the Jeongnimsa temple site, founded in the mid-6th century when Buyeo became the Baekje capital. Excavator Yun Mubyeong argued the pagoda itself was raised then, since it rests directly on the rammed-earth layer laid at the temple's founding; other art historians long placed it later. In 660 Tang general Su Dingfang carved a victory inscription into its first-story body.

The pagoda's first-story body carries the inscription "Da Tang Ping Baekje Guo Bei Ming," carved in 660 by Tang general Su Dingfang after Baekje's fall. The text, composed by Hasu-ryang and written by Gwon Hoeso, records that King Uija, crown prince Buyeo Yung, and 88 officials with 12,807 people were sent to Luoyang. A tile found at the site bore the temple name Jeongnimsa, which gave the site its name.

The pagoda stands on a paved courtyard in front of a long tiled-roof building, with a low metal fence running before it. The first-storey body carries the Tang victory inscription on all four faces, so walk around the base to read each side. The site lies in Dongnam-ri, Buyeo-eup, within the old Sabi capital area.

The first-story body carries an inscription carved by Tang general Su Dingfang after the 660 conquest of Baekje, recording that King Uija, crown prince Buyeo Yung and 88 officials were deported to Luoyang. The eight characters read in seal script, and the text was composed by Hasu-ryang and written by Gwon Hoeso.
