    Bonghwa Yugi has a long history of over 500 years and is the birthplace of organic manufacturing in Korea, which introduced organic manufacturing techniques to many craftsmen across the country.

    In particular, it is said that the organic manufacturing method of Anseong was also introduced from the beacon fire. Until the early 19th century, Bonghwa Yugi's reputation was widely known throughout the country, and it was also called the "Notjumgeori." This was due to the fact that charcoal needed to melt iron was easy to produce and the abundant water in Naeseongcheon Stream was a natural location.

    However, in 1919, the ban on deforestation in the Taebaek Mountain area and the change of the times at the end of the Japanese Colonial Period were not won, and only two households are maintaining their old reputation.

    In other regions, facilities and tools have been modernized, and the trend of losing their old appearance, but the abandonment of the beacon fire still continues the old techniques of handcrafting.

Hosang Nori is a playful game if it is a portrait of a person who has a good family life and long life, and it is a game where singers and bier people gather the night before to sing a folk song all night long so that they can safely go on a rough road when they are on the rise.

    The Hosang Nori in Rockjeol Village is led by a good singer in front of the bier by 36 biers, which are very large compared to ordinary bier carried by about 10 people. When the bier leaves the house, he sings the trick before carrying the bier, and as he leaves the house, he calls the incense burner to console his soul and honor his achievements and virtues. It is very exciting to see the bier moving forward as if it were pushed back. In the appearance, the coffin was lowered and the deceased built a tomb to build a dwelling where he would live for thousands of years. They sang various virtues and a song called Bangataryeong, which is a unique custom of rockjeol Village.

    As Amsa-dong was incorporated into the Seoul Metropolitan Government in the 1960s, Hosang Nori in Rockjeol Village completely disappeared due to the development of Rockjeol Village and the wave of urbanization, but its original form was restored more than 30 years after it was cut off by meaningful people.

    Saengchil refers to lacquer that produces a gloss by applying sap obtained from lacquer to objects such as wooden bowls.

Thus, patterns were born, and humans painted or carved patterns or drawings on various materials for decorative and symbolic purposes, and added colors.

    It is difficult to paint or color in metal. So, after carving dots, lines, and faces using chisels, the patterns and drawings were expressed by inserting gold and silver threads or plates into the groove. This is an incidental craft 入絲工

    Call it, and the craftsman is called a job place.

    The incident crafts are delicate and beautiful. Gold and silver are added to the metal base, making it colorful and elegant. It requires a subtle persistence and elegant spirit as it is a work of making grooves in metal and putting pictures in it. Three national treasures, including Chiljido (Japanese National Treasure) made by Baekje and presented it to the king of the Japanese Empire, Bronze Sealed Entrance Soldier (National Treasure No. 92), and four treasures, including Bronze Sealed Entrance Scentwan (Treasure No. 778), are currently designated as national treasures.

    Gwangmyeong Nongak is a nongak established on the modern basis of Gwangmyeong City, focusing on Cheolsan-dong, Soha-dong, and Hakon-dong under the current geographical conditions. Rice farming, nongak, and dure are closely related to each other, and this tradition of farming is related.

    As a result, it becomes the foundation of Gwangmyeong Nongak. In the past, Gwangmyeong City was part of Siheung-gun, Gyeonggi-do. This area is wide and rice paddies are developed.

    Gwangmyeong Nongak has the typical characteristics of Udari Nongak, so the characteristics of the rhythm and the engraving reflect the characteristics of Nongak in the Chungcheong area of Gyeonggi Province. The starting point may have originally originated from native nongak, but the current Gwangmyeong nongak cannot be denied that there are strong traces of tae nori nongak. The unique characteristics and identity of Yeonhui Nongak should be found in the book, as it is borrowed from the contents of the book and its specific name.



    It is almost impossible to verify the aspect of Durepungjang or the seasonal nongak in January. Apart from the sincerity of the original form of nongak, it has the nature of nongak, which can be re-discussed from the angle of traditional re-declaration in the future.

    Since the traditional foundation of Gwangmyeong Nongak exists in the form of rice paddy farming and the deep bottom of the sound of rice paddies, the indigenous foundation of Gwangmyeong Nongak, which is the medium, also indicates the traditional origin of Gwangmyeong Nongak. The fundamental reason for Gwangmyeong Nongak is that the traditional culture was not kept in the process of the new industrial city called Gwangmyeong. As a precedent showing the problems and possibilities of the rapidly changing industrialization society, we should pay attention to the aspects and changes of Gwangmyeong Nongak at the same time.

    Main growth refers to a craftsman with casting technology who melts iron into a mold to make the desired items. During the Joseon Dynasty, the main growth was centered on light factories where weapons and metal types were made at military bases and main bases. When the factory plan was abolished after the reign of King Yeongjo and King Jeongjo, a private owner of the company emerged from the 17th century. They were responsible for the demand for Buddhist bells, vaults, incense burners, shrines, and runners, and from the 19th century, they gradually declined. Later, during the Korean Empire, the main growth was almost cut off, but rather, Japanese colonial era gradually revived due to increased demand for castings due to the production of military supplies.

    Park Han-jong, the main growth function holder, entered the main growth business at the age of 16 and has a long career of about 50 years. The main growth of the Busan area is said to have originated from Kim Seok-gon, the main growth engine of Busan, who founded Beomjongsa Temple in Japanese colonial era. Kim Seok-gon's master craft led to Kim Kwae-jae, who was active in the early 20th century, and Kim Seok-jeong, who ran Cheongjongsa Temple, and Park Han-jong received the master craft from the two men. Since 1987, he has inherited his master, Kim Seok-jeong's Jujong Workshop and renamed it Hongjongsa.

    In the meantime, 200 households with less than 1,000 pipes and 10 households with more than 2,000 pipes were selected. Some of the more than 2,000 representative works include Daebeomjong (1991), Daebeomjong (1996), Busan Citizens' Bell (1999), Gimcheon Citizens' Daejong (1999), Shin Eo Beomjong (2001), and Bongnyeongsa (2002) in Suwon.

    Park Han-jong's method of casting the bronze bell is based on the traditional Korean technique of casting death penalty, in which half of the life-long sections are modeled and the molds of the inner and outer shapes are constructed and cast separately using a huge rotating shaft. Moreover, the precision casting technique of the Sangwonsa Temple, which was not clear about manufacturing techniques, was reproduced in the traditional way of casting death, allowing it to inherit the mystique of the Korean species, which is highly praised for its excellent sound and pattern beauty.
