While arranging the photos I took in Gyeongju in last week, I reminded my memory of the photos I had took 2 years ago in Ik san city, south west of Korea, where was the cultural center of Baek Je Dynasty.
Not many relics of Baek Je dynasty were preserved. That is the fate of conquered kingdom.
Baek je was no exception from the miserable destiny of collapsed country.
The most saddest thing of the collapsed kingdom was being forgotten in history.
Once glorious palace and beautiful buildings had been destroyed by the conquerer.
Nothing was left.
We can see such cases in many countries.
While I was wandering around the museum in Gyeonju national museum, I could notice the roof ending tiles of Shilla dynasty.
The style of Shilla dynasty looked like different from that of Baek Je dynasty.
As I once posted, there were 3 kingdoms in Korean peninsula and Manchuria.
Below is an approximate map of 3 kingdom area of 1800 years ago.
The biggest was Goguryeo which was located in Manchuria and Northern part of Korean peninsular.
The name of Korea is believed to be originated from Goruryeo.
Baek Je Dynasty deviated from Goguryeo Kingdom and had built Back Je dynasty in south western part of Korean Peninsular.
Shilla had been built from local chiefdom located in south eastern part of Korean Peninsula.
Origin of Shill dynasty is no certain. One thing certain is the tribes composed Shilla was nomadic and came from Northern area.
There was a Gaya civilization which was located Between Shilla and Baek Je dynasty.
Gaya had a very advanced civilization, they had the iron technology.
But they were absorbed by Shilla and Back Je dinasty.
As looking at the roof tiles of 2 kingdoms, an idea arose to me to comparing the roof tiles of Shilla and Back Je.
So I asked my friend who was a professional in Archeology, he answered me there was a difference between the roof tiles of 3 kingdoms.
Actually the roof tiles of Goguryeo were the most powerful warrior style. And that of Shilla was a mescaline style. Back Je had a feminine and an elegant style.
I don’t have any photos of Goguryeo roof tiles, so I could compare only Shilla and Back Je roof tile.
Here the roof tile is the end part of the eaves. There was an ending roof tile which decorate ending part of the eaves in traditional architecture.
Then let’s look at the ending roof tiles.
At first, Below are the tiles of Shilla dynasty.
Next are the Baek Je tiles.
At first, I couldn’t notice the difference my friend told.
But as looking at those piles little longer, it seems there is slight difference between them.
How about your opinion ?
Do you recognize the difference of cultural tendency between Baek Je and Shilla ?
Thank you for reading.
The roof ending tiles of both dynasties are quite elegantly made with a slight variation of design but in the Shilla dynasty design shows a flowery design while in Baek Je the design is with its stunning warrior-style design of a beast which is very beautiful too. @slowwalker

At first glance, the pattern on the tile in Baekje seems to be more inferior.
But I wonder if there is a time difference between the relics of the two dynasties.
Thank you for sharing the information.
Thank you so much

Thank you for reading
someday I'd like to introduce on Baek Je dynasty
Thank you for posting @slowwalker, nim this historial article and interesting artistic photographs.
Thank you for opportunity to think on these things.
As a result of studying the photographs of the pieces of roof end tiles.....a couple of very small differences.... may be the colour preference of the two time periods as the Baek Je favours the darker.....and the difference in the attention to detail being stronger in the Shilla.....perhaps.
Looking forward to hearing what your friend had to say.
Wishing you and your family all the best.
Cheers.
In my opinion, colors were not so different each other.
The tiles were made in the furnace both Baek je and shilla.
I will ask my friend
Thank you

Nice post sir
Beakje was known as Kudara to the Japanese and after the fall of Beakje refugees settled near present day Nara (Japan) and founded a town called Koryo which still exists to day.
Silla on the other hand was not directly related to either Beakje or Gogoryeo. It is indigenous to the Korean peninsula. However, over time they did share close cultural and familial ties particularly with Beakje.
The people of Korea today are mostly descended from Silla, hence why there are so many people with the surname Kim and Pak.
Goryeo surnames like Go and Hae and Yeon are not as common in modern Korean society although they do still exist so it is fair to say that modern Koreans are descended from all 3 kingdoms.
Interesting story.
It is believed that Ancient Japanese had had very close relationship with Baek Je.
Family names of today seem to have not so close relations with 3 Kingdom area.
Family name in Korea was widely accepted in approximately 8 century.
That's a little difference.
Nice post
It is so nice to know the untold stories hidden among the past walls of the forgotten history..thank you for enlightening us on this :) i always love to read your posts since i get the chance to explore the world through them

interesting postings, beautiful photography about dynasties, articles are very good.
clearly there is a difference between his two,
whether the painting has its own meaning for the people of korea ??
Basically religious meaning in my opinion.
Mainly lotus leaf was carved there.
every kingdom has a story and an important role for the king, the kingdom also has an enemy in to get a prosperous kingdom, success for @slowwalker and interesting stories

Well i do believe that these tiles are the essence of Korean Culture but this is also so true that conqueror always destroyed the monuments of the occupied region, Alas!
Yes,i felt a little bit difference among the tiles of both region, In #Shilla tiles i found that they used to love animals that is why they sketched them in the tiles while #Baek_Je tiles did not show any animals sketches in the tiles, am i true my friend @slowwalker ?
Your have razor eyes.
I didn't notice that.
