Cheonan Bongseonhonggyeongsa Galgibi (National Treasure) is located at 320 Daeheung-ri, Seonghwan-eup, Cheonan-si, Chungnam. It is a monument erected in 1026 (the 17th year of King Hyeonjong's reign) to commemorate the temple Bongseonhonggyeongsa, which was built in 1021 (the 12th year of King Hyeonjong's reign). The site where the temple stood was a key transportation hub connecting Honam and Hanyang. There was a pond full of reeds, and bandits were frequent because it was isolated from civilian houses. Therefore, King Hyeonjong built the Bongseonhonggyeongsa temple here to spread Buddhist teaching and establish the Gwangyeontonghwawon lodging for safe travel. The inscription on the Galgibi monument was composed by Choe Chung and the calligraphy was done by Baek Hyun-rye.
