Dangganjiju and Five-story Stone Pagoda at Cheonheungsa Temple Site, Cheonan

Cheonheungsa Geo-Story Stone Pagoda is a pagoda from the Goryeo Dynasty standing at the site of Cheonheungsa Temple. On the four sides of the lower stylobate, seven eye images are closely carved on each side. On the four sides of the stylobate of the upper floor, pillar shapes were carved at each corner. The body of the pagoda has the body and roof stones of each story carved from a single stone. The main stone has clearly carved pillar shapes only on the corners of its four sides, and the rate of decrease as it goes up to the upper floor is relatively gentle. The roof stones are thin and narrow, and the base is carved very shallowly into three tiers. It is magnificent and beautiful overall, and there is discipline in the composition of the stones. In particular, the gentle slope seen from the pagoda body adds to the warm and solemn feeling (height: 6m).

The support pillar of Cheonheungsa Temple is the pillar of Cheonheungsa Temple, which was founded in the 4th year of King Taejo of the Goryeo Dynasty (921), and is located in the center of Cheonheung-ri Village, Cheonan City. At temples, when ceremonies are held, a flag called Dang is hung at the entrance of the temple. The pole on which the flag is hung is called Danggan, and the two stone pillars that support this Danggan on both sides are called Danggan Supporters. The two pillars face east and west with a gap of 60cm, and were supported by a platform and pillars on a two-tiered stylobate, but both the stylobate and the stylobate were destroyed and scattered. The stylobate has been restored from what was scattered, and the faces of the eyes are carved around the stylobate, showing the decorated side of the dangganjiju (3m in height).
