A Consideration on the Anapchi in Kyongju, Korea

Abstract

We studied the Anapchi pond garden in Kyongju, Korea which had been the capital of the Silla Kingdom during the one thousand years. Anapchi pond garden is said to be constructed in 674 according to the description of Sankokusiki, and the excavation of the garden which carried out by Korean government in 1975 and in 1976. We studied the bank protection techniques of the Anapchi pond and the introducing techniques of water to the pond using the surveying map and the excavation meterials. Then, we estimate that the water which introduced to the pond from Bukchon river and the pond was estimated to be larger than the existing pond according the excavation date and the estimated volume of the introduced water.
