In 9th century, with the JeonDeong(delivering the light of Seon)from Tang to Silla, the culture of “GeonTapIpBi(building the pagoda and erecting stele)” was also moved in. And it was right after the style of monk’s stupa had been methodically changed in china, from having the room in stupa for the corpse, named as “QuanShenSheLi”, to the lessened stupa that contain the cremated.
