Historical Record of Gwallyongsa Temple, Changnyeong

This record conveys the history of Gwallyongsa Temple, including its founding and subsequent renovations. It comprises one volume of the historical record together with eleven printing woodblocks. The record has three parts: a main text written in 1733, the ninth year of King Yeongjo, by Sin Yu-han (1681–?); an afterword added the following year by the monk Myeonghak; and an appendix listing the scriptures and ritual implements kept in each hall and its subsidiary hermitages. The record sets out in detail not only the origins and history of the temple's founding in the Silla period, but also its later renovations, the names of the abbots who oversaw the work, and the costs involved, making it an important source for understanding the history of Gwallyongsa Temple. The author himself is said to have written the record so as to pass the temple's history on to later generations.
