경주 송화산의 큰오색딱따구리 암컷 A Female White-backed Woodpecker in Gyeongju, Korea
I came across a female white-backed woodpecker pecking on a tree in Mt. Songhwasan near the Tomb of General Kim Yushin. Isn't this woodpecker an endangered species? I got this name after asking around and the director of Gyeongju Forests Research Institue told me the exact name of this woodpecker in Korean and I googled the English name.
경주숲연구소에 문의하여 보니, 이 동영상에 나오는 딱따구리는 '큰오색딱따구리'라고 합니다. 얼굴 옆에서 갈라지는 세 갈래의 넓은 검은 선 중의 하나는 머리 윗쪽으로 향하고 중앙의 검은 선은 부리 쪽으로 향하고, 또 하나의 검은 선은 가슴쪽으로 향하는데, 머리로 향하는 선이 머리 정수리 쪽과 붙으면 오색딱따구리이고, 붙지 않고 떨어지면 큰오색딱따구리라고 합니다.
Silla Kingdom 3
Silla Kingdom
----------------------
Silla, Shilla, or Saro (57 BC - 935 AD) was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, & one of the world's longest sustained dynasties. Although it was founded by King Pak Hyeokgeose, who is also known to be the originator of the Korean family name Pak (Park or Bak), the dynasty was ruled by the Gyeongju Kim clan for most of its 992-year history. What began as a chiefdom in the Samhan confederacies, once allied with China, Silla eventually conquered the other two kingdoms, Baekje in 660 & Goguryeo in 668. Thereafter, Unified Silla or Later Silla, as it is often referred to, occupied most of the Korean Peninsula, while the northern part re-emerged as Balhae, a successor-state of Goguryeo. After nearly 1000 years of rule, Silla fragmented into the brief Later Three Kingdoms, handing over power to its successor dynasty Goryeo in 935. Scholars have traditionally divided Silla history into three distinct periods: Early (57 BC-654 AD), Middle (654-780), & Late (780-935). During the Proto-Three Kingdoms period, the city-states of central and southern Korea were grouped into three confederacies called Samhan. Silla began as Saro-guk, a statelet within the 12-member confederacy called Jinhan. Saro-guk consisted of six villages and six clans. According to Korean records, Silla was founded by King Park Hyeokgeose in 57 BC, around present-day Gyeongju. Hyeokgeose is said to have been hatched from an egg laid from a white horse, and when he turned 13, six clans submitted to him as king & established Saro (or Seona). He is also the progenitor of the Park clan, now one of the most common family names in Korea. The earliest recording of this date is found in the Samguk Sagi, a 12th-century Korean history. Current archeological evidence indicates that while a polity may have been established even earlier than this in the Gyeongju region, it is too early to call it a kingdom. The author of the Samguk Sagi, Kim Bu-sik, probably attempted to legitimize Silla rule by giving it historical seniority over its rival kingdoms Baekje and Goguryeo. The Park clan held power for three generations before being faced with a coup by the Seok clan. During the reign of the first Seok ruler, Talhae, the Kim clan's presence in Silla is mentioned in the form of a tale in which Kim Alji is born from a golden box that Hogong discovered. The Park & Seok clans constantly fight each other for power and both are eventually overthrown by the Kim clan. The Kim clan solely rules over Silla for many generations with the Park & Seok clans as nobility. The final ruler of Silla, King Gyeongsun, was a member of the Kim clan. King Naemul (356-402) of the Kim clan established a hereditary monarchy, eliminating the rotating power-sharing scheme, & the leader's now truly royal title became Maripgan (from the native Korean root Han, leader or great, which was previously used for ruling princes in southern Korea). In 377, it sent emissaries to China & established relations with Goguryeo. Facing pressure from Baekje in the west & Japan in the south, in the later part of the 4th century, Silla allied with Goguryeo. However, when Goguryeo began to expand its territory southward, moving its capital to Pyongyang in 427, Nulji was forced to ally with Baekje. By the time of King Beopheung (514-540), Silla was a full-fledged kingdom, with Buddhism as state religion, and its own era name systems. Silla absorbed the Gaya confederacy during the Gaya-Silla Wars, annexing Geumgwan Gaya in 532 & conquering Daegaya in 562, thereby expanding its borders to the Nakdong River basin. In the 7th century Silla allied itself with the Chinese Tang dynasty. In 660, under King Muyeol (654-661), Silla subjugated Baekje. In 668, under King Munmu and the General Kim Yu-shin, Silla conquered Goguryeo to its north. Silla then fought for nearly a decade to expel Chinese forces on the peninsula intent on creating Tang colonies there to finally establish a unified kingdom as far north as modern Pyongyang. The northern region of the defunct Goguryeo state later reemerged as Balhae. The final century & a half of the Silla state was one of nearly constant upheaval and civil war as the king was reduced to little more than a figurehead & powerful aristocratic families rose to actual dominance outside the capital and royal court. The tail end of this period, called the Later Three Kingdoms period, briefly saw the emergence of the kingdoms of Later Baekje & Later Goguryeo, which were really composed of military forces capitalizing on their respective region's historic background, & Silla's submission to the Goryeo dynasty.

Silla (Sir'ɔ), the Forgotten Gold Civilization III
Restoration of the Ruins/폐허의 복원 - Gyeongju Now and Then (9)
The Mausoleum of Munmu the Great and His Temple (대왕암공원과 감은사지)
In 676 Munmu the Great and his Shinra countrymen (also spelled Silla/Sir'ɔ) won the 7 years of dreadful war with the world empire Tang.
Facing his death the king in his will told his people to cremate him in the water.
The Sun seems to rise from his underwater mausoleum in the east coast, travels through a straight line over the tombs of his kinsmen and women and the monuments they built, and sets right behind the mausoleum of Martial King KiM Yushin, Munmu King's uncle.
The king wanted to watch over and protect the country together with his family and the Sun from whose golden color the family found their family name.
His son Shinmun King built a new temple complex near the beach where his mausoleum was in order to commemorate his great achievement and named the temple Gameunsa, literally meaning the Temple of Gratefulness.
After all, the prosperity of the mysterious golden kingdom was thanks to the unification that put an end to the many centuries of the age of warring empires.
Munmu the Great KiM Bobmin is now remembered as the great king who completed the unification of the Korean Peninsula.

Unified Silla (Later Silla) Kingdom
Unified SIlla Kingdom
-----------------------------------
Later Silla (668–935) or Unified Silla is the name often applied to the Korean kingdom of Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, when it conquered Baekje in 660 and Goguryeo in 668, unifying the southern and middle portion of the Korean peninsula. Its last king, King Gyeongsun, ruled over the state in name only and submitted to the emerging Goryeo in 935, bringing the dynasty to an end.
Modern Korean historians began to criticize the traditional view of Unified Silla as the unification of Korea. According to this perspective, Goryeo is considered the first unification of Korea, since Balhae still existed after the establishment of Unified Silla.
In 660, King Munmu of Silla ordered his armies to attack Baekje. General Kim Yu-shin, aided by Tang forces, defeated General Gyebaek and conquered Baekje. In 661, he moved on Goguryeo but was repelled. King Munmu was the first ruler ever to look upon the south of the Korean Peninsula as a single political entity after the fall of Gojoseon. As such, the post-668 Silla kingdom is often referred to as Unified Silla. Unified Silla lasted for 267 years until, under King Gyeongsun, it fell to Goryeo in 935.
Unified Silla and the Tang maintained close ties. This was evidenced by the continual importation of Chinese culture. Many Korean monks went to China to learn about Buddhism. The monk Hyech'o went to India to study Buddhism and wrote an account of his travels. Different new sects of Buddhism were introduced by these traveling monks who had studied abroad such as Son and Pure Land Buddhism.
A national Confucian college was established in 682 and around 750 it was renamed the National Confucian University. The university was restricted to the elite aristocracy.
Woodblock printing was used to disseminate Buddhist sutras and Confucian works. During a refurbishment of the Pagoda That Casts No Shadows, an ancient print of a Buddhist sutra was discovered. The print is dated to 751 CE and is the oldest discovered printed material in the world.
