Unmunsa Temple in Cheongdo published eight kinds of Buddhist Texts in the early Joseon Dynasty. After the publication of Jungryemun(中禮文) in 1515, Unmunsa Temple intensively engraved seven kinds of Buddhist Texts in a short period of time, including GyechoShimHakinmun(誡初心學人文), ChimunGyeonghun(緇門警訓), Wongakgyeong(圓覺經), and Jeolyo(節要) in 1588. Of the total 275 woodblocks, 222 woodblocks inscribed with the abbreviation of the engravers are estimated to be about 87.7%. As a result of the analysis, it is confirmed that “Uiryeon(儀璉, 36woodblocks)”, “Inheon(印軒, 32woodblocks)”, “Jongwon(宗元, 24woodblocks)”, “Jeongeung(正應, 45woodblocks)”, “Cheonjun(天俊, 29woodblocks)”, “Gyeonghyeon(敬玄, 25woodblocks)” participated in the work in common, and the “Uiryeon(儀璉)” is believed to be the main engraver in charge of the engraving project of Unmunsa Temple in 1588, including the carving of Wongakgyeong. As a result of analyzing the list of monks engraved on woodblocks, it can be seen that monks based in Palgongsan Mountain in Daegu, such as “Gongsanbonsa Temple(公山本寺)”, “Unbusa Temple(雲門寺)”, and “Donghwasa Temple(桐華寺)”, actively participated in the engraving Buddhist Texts project in addition to neighboring regions such as Gyeongju and Ulju. In addition, general dedicants are identified as adjacent regions such as Cheongdo, Gyeongsan, Gyeongju, Miryang, and Changnyeong, among which the majority are from Eonyang beyond Gajisan Mountain on the east side of Unmunsa Temple. In particular, considering that a separate page of Woodblock was prepared to engrave the expensive “List of names for lacquer Offering(柒施主名目),” it is judged that the role of “acquer Offering(柒施主)” in the engraving project was important, and about 20 dedicants from the Changnyeong area were recorded, indicating that the role was significant.
