작금에 皇龍寺 49萬소斤 巨鐘의 행방이 문제가 되는 것은, 최근 경주시가 그 종을 찾아서, 우리 민족 문화의 국보를 되살리고, 이를 경주 황룡사 종루에 복원하면 그 종소리와 더불어 영원할 것이라는 데 있다. 그리하여 해군에서도 최신 장비를 동원하여 그 종이 빠졌다는 동해구를 뒤지고 있다. 그러나, 그 종은 고려 숙종조에 녹여 져서 신종으로 만들어 졌다는 것이 三國遺事 卷三, 皇龍寺 鐘條에 나와 있다는 것을 발견했다. 그리고, 그것을 기준으로 계산해 보니 皇龍寺 巨鐘: 무게 41.0 ton, 높이 3.14 m, 구경 2.44 m 皇龍寺 新鐘: 무게 7.4 ton, 높이 2.07 m, 구경 1.61 m임이 드러났고 종의 收率(종의 무게/입증)이 聖德大王 神鐘은 34.7 %, 皇龍寺 巨鐘은 13.6 % 임을 알았다. 그리고, 1103년에 皇龍寺 新鐘(7.4 ton)이 원 황룡사 거종이 달려있던 자리에 매달려 있다가, 1238년 11월에, 몽고 제3차 침입군에 의하여 황룡사 전체는 타 버리고, 그 新鐘은 지금의 ④번 國道의 course를 따라 토함산맥 제일 낮은 고개를 넘어, 보문양북면 大鐘川동해구로 끌려가서 동해구에서 몽고행 배에 싣다가 그 곳에 빠뜨렸다고 보여진다. 이번에 잘하면 해군이 7.4 ton의 황룡사 신종을 건질 수 있을런지 모른다.

Recently, the search for the whereabout of the huge Bell Imperial-Dragon-Temple becomes a great issue. If it happens to be found out and ringing at the original location of the Bell in Kyungjoo City, the Bell might be a great national treasure and lasting to the eternity with her beautiful sound. The Bell was so huge that the total weight of the raw material put into crucibles was 497,581 Kun (289 tons), the shoulder weight 10.3 Chuk (3.14 m) and the maximum thickness 9 Chon (27.4 cm). The Bell was erected in 754 in Shilla Dynasty and was assumed to be lost during the war time by the 3rd invasion of Mongolians (1235~8). However, the author found out that the huge Bell was recast into a new small Bell (8.1 ton) in 1103 by the people of Koryu Dynasty and then the new small Bell was hung in the same position as in the original huge Bell. 135 years later, the new small Bell was carried out by Mongolian forces as a spoil of war from Kyungjoo to the Bay Tonghaegoo, through the saddle point of Mountain Toham, Yangbuk and Riber Great Bell. At the bay, Mongolian forces wished to bring back the Bell to Mongolia by a ship, but they dropped the Bell into the sea by accident. So, if this was the case, the bell at the seabed may be the new small bell (7.4 ton) but not the original huge Bell (41.0 ton) For the evaluation of missing data of the two bells, the author sets up two equations relating all the dimensions and their weights, which seems to be a useful guide to the design of bells. The results of the evaluation of the Bells are as follows. The huge Bell The new small Bell Weight 41.0 ton 7.4 ton Shoulder ht. 3.14 m 2.07 m Mouth diameter 2.468 m 1.546 m Max. thickness 27.4 cm (9 Chon) 11.9 cm (3.9 Chon)
