Goryeo published two editions of Daejanggyeong and one Gyojang. The publishing of Daejanggyeong shows the trend of Buddhism and cultural ability of Goryeo. In Northern Sung, Chinese produced the first Tripitaka Kaibao Dazangjing in 983, afterwards enlarging it by three times. The Goryeo dynasty wanted to show cultural power and overcome the national crises caused by the invasion of the Khitan, so it started engraving Daejanggyeong in 1011. The First Daejanggyeong was finished in 1029, with national support. At first it was based on the Kaibao edition, but a second and third enlargement were corrected using the Kitan edition and Goryeo traditional copies. In 1087, over 600 boxes of the First Daejanggyeong were completed. The First Daejanggyeong was published by Chinese catalogs which made in succession.Euicheon, who entered the monkhood as a prince, thought that commentaries are necessary to understand the Tripitaka completely. In 1090, Euicheon edited the Sinpyeon Jejong Gyojangchongrok , the catalogue of commentaries on the tripitaka. He revised, edited, and published Gyojang which he collected from Goryeo, Sung, Kitan and Japan. In this catalogue, Euicheon showed the unique organization of the tripitaka. He listed Avatamsaka first, and listed 4740 rolls of 1010 books, and using this list he published commentaries. Many commentaries of Silla and Kitan were enlisted in that list. These publications brought to Sung and Japan and helped the progress of the study of Buddhism.The First Goryeo Daejanggyeong was destroyed by the Mongolian invasion, Goryeo established Daejangdogam to produce a new Daejanggyeong. The new Second Goryeo Daejanggyeong revised and edited the First Goryeo, Kaibao and Kitan editions. As a result the Second Goryeo Daejanggyeong guaranteed high accuracy. The standard edition was recorded in Sinjodaejang Gyojeongbyeollok . Moreover, the Second Goryeo Daejanggyeong subjoined more than twenty books. They include the commentaries of Hwaeom, Zen and Cheontae schools of China and Korea. this work shows the trend of late Goryeo Buddhist thought. These subjoinders succeeded Goryeo tradition, so the publishingform of them is quite different from the main Daejanggyeong. These subjoinders were joined by combining the Goryeo Buddhist thought and printing ability.
