The study of Goryeo-Gyojang and the Gyojang-chonglog began to be studied by Japanese scholars in the 1910s. Above study was conducted from the perspective of Sokjang-gyeong in relation to the transmission of the ‘Tripitaka Koreana’ and Buddhist Texts in the Korean Peninsula. Domestic research began in the late 1950s, and full-scale research began in the 1980s. Then, in 2004, a study was conducted based on the data of the new Gyojang found in the chests of four-guardian statutes at Songgwangsa Temple in Jeolla-do. Since 2012, research has progressed significantly through the gathering of Gyojang and DB project of The Research Institute of the Tripitaka Koreana. Future research task can be divided into sections such as the history and culture of the Gyojang, cataloging such as the classification system of the Gyojang-chonglog, manuscript study of the original version of the Gyojang, and textual criticism studies related to text contrast. In this regard, it is necessary to conduct an individual and comprehensive study.
