Dalseong Yong-yeon Temple's Jayun Gate (Self-Cloud Gate) was established in 1695 (Sukjong 21st year) with preserved documentation including both ridge-beam inscriptions (1695) and repair records (1938) confirming construction and repair dates with certainty. The structure's original designation was "single-pillar gate" (iljumun), though photographic documentation from 1920 shows the plaque inscription as "Jayun Gate," indicating the name-change occurred prior to that period. The frontal facade displays the inscription "Mount Bissel Yong-yeon Temple Jayun Gate" (Bissel-san Yong-yeon-sa Jayun-mun), with calligraphy executed by Hoesan Park Ki-don (1873-1948). Dalseong Yong-yeon Temple's Jayun Gate comprises a single-bay hip-and-gable-roof structure constructed through initial hip-roof framework assembly, upon which an overlaid gable-roof covering was subsequently installed. The frontal curved-beam configuration supports five bracket members, with the overall structure incorporating fourteen bracket members utilizing multiple-bracket system designs and double-eave overlapping roof configuration. The primary pillars employ reinforcement boards (ju-seon) with an additional member affixed to the reinforcement-board surface. This supplementary member displays a distinctive form: the upper and middle sections align parallel with the reinforcement board, while the lower section diverges outward in diagonal-beam configuration. Unlike other single-pillar gates where founding inscriptions or ridge documents frequently lack documentation support, Yong-yeon Temple's Jayun Gate preserves detailed and accurate records concerning both construction and repair documentation, conferring exceptional scholarly value.
