AB - Four-feet high four-guardian clay statues stand in the gate of Songgwang Temple. Through the investigation done in 2004, various Buddhist scriptures were found in the chest of four-guardian clay statues. Though the records of building which we have expected were not come out, the letters indicating the accurate direction of the four-guardian statues were found on the wooden stopple. In result, we can know that the guardian statue holding mandolin is north guardian, and the guardian statue holding banner or stupa is western guardian. Besides, these records give us good sources for the accurate names of four-guardian statue in Chosun dynasty.This paper would solve the problems about the direction and the building period of the four-guardian statues. Though there still remain a lot of controversy about these problems for which the way of writing in each temple varies, I could make the accurate direction of the four-guardian statues clear with the above materials. By the way, I made the comparisons between the styles of Songgwang Temple and its neighboring temples, and I could conclude that the period of building was 1628 A.D.
