Goryeo era's printing and publishing culture policy was a centralized policy. Therefore, no special aspects were shown of Chongju's printing and publishing culture. The temples that published books in Chongju were Wonhung temple and Hungdeok temple. In Goryeo era only 3 Buddhist books were published in Chongju, however, the fact that Jikji and Jabidoryangchambubjibhae was a metal type printed book, makes it a historical achievement.
