This paper examined the relationship between the construction sharing criteria of the stoney fortress construction and the airspace organization by analyzing the data on the construction of the stone fortress during the Joseon Dynasty, and compared its characteristics with Silla’s 〈Myeonghwal Fortress Jakseong-bi(明活山城作城碑)〉 to find the criteria for construction sharing.
In the early Joseon Dynasty, the division of the construction of the capital city’s first axis was divided into large-scale sections(道), and then two characters (1,200 vessels) of Cheonjamun were divided into mid-range units, and 50尺 (25步) to 100尺 (16步) were divided into small-scale units. The actual unit of construction was the mid-range unit with a inspectors(監役官), and each castle stone was carved in both medium and small units. In Sejong period, after dividing it into large-scale units, Gunhyeon(郡縣), which is a unit of Labor Mobilization System(役制), was divided into mid-range units, and each castle stone was engraved, and there were also sub-units of about 130尺 (21步) to 78 尺 (13步) inside it.
During the contraction of Geumosanseong Fortress(金烏山城), a defense base in the late Joseon Dynasty, the number of 役夫 in the county and county was allocated differently depending on the difficulty of the construction, but the actual distance of division of the airspace organization was not known. The Dongnaebuseong contraction project in the Yeongjo period was divided into 4 large-scale units and 60 middle-level units (牌), and the construction distance around 47 步 was shared by the middle-level airspace organization.
By dividing the construction section of at least 14 to 42 步 in the 〈Myeonghwal Fortress Jakseong-bi〉 the airspace organization is estimated to be mid-level, and the construction volume was subdivided by placing a sub-unit inside it.
As such, from ancient times to the Joseon Dynasty, the actual division of construction of Stoney Fortress was mainly in the middle level, and it was subdivided into sub-units depending on the situation. In this way, it was confirmed that Silla had the beginning of the construction operation method of Stoney Fortress, which was divided into the entire construction section and had an airspace organization below the middle level to build it, and that each stone was responsible for the construction.
