1Finding the place through a temple record
伊西國弩禮王十四年伊西國人来攻金城.按雲門寺古傳諸寺納田記云,“貞觀六年壬辰伊西郡今郚村零味寺納田”,則今郚村今清道地,即清道郡古伊西郡一.
The State of Iseo.
In the fourteenth year of King Norye, people of the state of Iseo came and attacked Geumseong.
Looking at the record of fields donated by various temples, handed down from old at Unmun Temple, it says: "In the sixth year of Zhenguan, an imjin year, Yeongmi Temple of Geumo Village in Iseo Commandery donated fields."
So Geumo Village is the present land of Cheongdo, and Cheongdo Commandery is the old Iseo Commandery.
