Paryeongnu Pavilion of Ssanggyesa Temple, Hadong

Ssanggyesa Temple was founded in 723, the twenty-second year of King Seongdeok of Unified Silla, by the monk Samboep Hwasang, who first named it Okcheonsa Temple; it was renamed Ssanggyesa Temple during the reign of King Jeonggang. The temple grounds contain many buildings, including Daeungjeon Hall, Seolseondang Hall, Paryeongnu Pavilion and Goseungdang Hall. Paryeongnu was built in 840, the second year of King Munseong of Unified Silla, by the Seon master Jingam, and was repaired in 1641, the nineteenth year of King Injo of Joseon, and again in 1978. This was the place where beompae, Buddhist ritual chant suited to the Korean people, was created, and it produced many outstanding masters of Buddhist music. It is said that, after watching fish playing in the Seomjingang River, the Seon master Jingam composed a piece of Buddhist music called 'Eosan' ('Fish Mountain') built on eight musical tones — which is why the pavilion is called Paryeongnu, the 'Pavilion of Eight Tones'.
