This stele is passed down at Eokjeongsa Site (億政寺址) and was erected to honor the merits of Daejiguksa, a monk of the Goryeo period. It has a simple form with a rectangular stele pedestal topped by a body stone inscribed with the epitaph. Only the upper ends of the body stone are diagonally cut, without other decorations. The epitaph is carved in regular script on all four sides of the body stone. This stele is a transitional work from the late Goryeo to early Joseon period and features a simple formal design. The epitaph records the life of Daejiguksa, who was born in the 15th year of King Chung Suk of Goryeo (1328), ordained at age 14, and passed away in the 2nd year of King Gongyang (1390). It also praises the monk's character and scholarship. The epitaph was composed by Park Uijung, calligraphed by the monk Seonjin, and carved by Hye-gong. The stele is noted for its vigorous and firm brushwork and excellent composition.
Sinheungsa Temple, located on Jangbyeongsan Mountain, is a temple in the mountains that houses stone Arhat statues enshrined in the Daeungbojeon Hall. Sinheungsa was founded in 1890 and rebuilt in 1924. Among the sixteen Arhats of this place, only four statues remain, all made of marble and created during the Joseon Dynasty. These four Arhat statues are notable for their similar sizes and for wearing headscarves, which distinguishes their unique style from other Arhat statues. Features such as facial expressions, headscarves, the three-path pose, hand gestures, and folds of the robes are delicately shown from upper to lower body, making these statues valuable materials for the study of Buddhist statue styles. The stone Arhat statues were recently painted, so their original color is unknown, but their original forms are well preserved. Originally, there was one earth-made Buddha statue and six plaster Arhat statues; the earth Buddha statue was severely damaged and buried, and two headless Arhat statues that were on the northern rock wall were stolen. The Eomjeong-myeon area once had a large temple during the Goryeo period, and the Sinheungsa stone Arhat statues were excavated along with other relics from this temple site. Through these Arhat statues, it is understood that Sinheungsa was built as an Arhat sanctuary enshrining sixteen Arhats.
Sinheungsa is a temple located at the foothills of Jangbyeongsan, founded in 1890 (the 27th year of King Gojong of Joseon) by Oh Yeong-geun. Oh Yeong-geun discovered the Seokgansoo spring water while gathering medicinal herbs, and after drinking the water and making a wish, his wish was fulfilled. Since then, Seokgansoo became known as a well with miraculous medicinal effects, and he built the temple by setting up two thatched huts nearby. The buildings include the Daeungbojeon, Samseonggak, Yongsingak, Beomjonggak, and hermitage quarters. Among these, the Daeungbojeon is a hip-and-gable roof building with three bays at the front and two at the side, built in 1924. Inside are the triad Buddhist statues of Amitabha Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha, and Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. Behind the statues are paintings of the Western Paradise (Geungnak Hufultanghwa), Jijang (Ksitigarbha) Thangka, and Eleven-Headed Avalokiteshvara Thangka. Around the statues are sixteen Arhat statues, four of which were excavated near the temple. In addition, a material of a Palgak-wondang type tombstone and one piece of Goryeo celadon have been unearthed.
