원주에서 제일 높은 산은 치악산으로 높이가 1,288m이다. 그 산의 남쪽에 높이가 1,181m인 남태봉이 있다. 그리고 그 봉우리 아래에는 상원사가 있다. 상원사는 치악산이라는 산 이름의 유래가 된 절이다. 그 설화의 내용은 꿩이 은혜를 갚기 위하여 자신의 머리로 상원사의 종을 세 번 울리게 했다는 것이다. 즉, 치악산의 ‘치’는 ‘꿩 치’를 의미한다. 그러므로 상원사는 보은의 전설을 간직한 절이다.
The highest mountain in Wonju is Mount Chiak and 1,288m high. Namtaebong Peak is on the south of the mountain, which is 1,181m high. And Sangwonsa Temple is located down the peak. The name of the mountain was changed to Chiaksan a long time ago. Because of the tale of the Sangwonsa Temple. It is said that a pheasant hit the bell of the Sangwonsa Temple with his head three times in order to return the favor. Namely, ‘Chi’ in the Chiaksan means a pheasant in Sino-Korean word. Therefore, Sangwonsa Temple keeps the legend of returning the favor.
