This treatise tried to observe deduction of locate of Dangsung(唐城) that stayed for study abroad in Tang and influences of Dangsung to Wonhyo buddhism in the center. The togam(土龕) and the road in tomb where Wonhyo(元曉) passed a night with Uisang(義湘) were the area where has an ancient tomb is clear. And it is assumed that this ancient tomb existed in some place in the whole area of Dangsung. The historical material existed that said the place of Wonhyo's spiritual awakening was Jiksan(樴山). But it is not clear that this jiksan and jiksan(稷山) where placed north of Cheonan(天安) is to a same place. Clarifying that place by documentary records is impossible. But, we can set our heart on archeology excavation. Dangsung has great significance in Buddhist history. If Wonhyo had a study abroad with Uisang without spiritual awakening in Dangsung, there is a possibility which could not complete the Wonhyo buddhism which the philosophy system has the way about one. Wonhyo abandoned studying abroad. And in fifties, he wrote Daeseunggishinronso(大乘起信論疏). It was a famous book which the cardinal point of Wonhyo's philosophy. By this writing, he completed the historical task that unify various Buddhist philosophy. And in the same breath, he could accelerate popularization of Buddhism. It was considered that a motive of writing Daeseunggishinronso was Wonhyo's spiritual awakening. This writer could not help reconstructing historical meaning by historical imagination, because historical material kept silence. Aftet all, in Wonhyo buddhism, the meaning of one night in Dangsung was an important turning point of the buddhist history of Korea is clear.
