    Salpurichum refers to a dance extemporaneously performed by an exorcist to put an end to bad luck. It is called Dosalpurichum or Heoteunchum. The name salpuri was first used by the traditional dancer Han Seong-jun at his theater performances in 1903. The dancer performs to salpuri music in a white skirt and jacket, with a white handkerchief in hand to express graciousness and sentiment. It is said that the present-day salpurichum is one handed down in Gyeonggi-do and Jeolla-do Provinces. With the stabilization of the country toward the mid Joseon Dynasty and invigoration of the culture of commoners, it developed as a dance performed by clowns. Exorcism rites were prohibited during the colonial period (1910 – 1945) and this exorcism dance came to develop purely as an artistic dance. Salpurichum is a classic dance with high artistic value, expressing popular sentiment through beautiful movements and transforming sorrow into delight.

    This is a tutelary rite held in early January on the lunar calendar, or in spring or fall annually, or biennially or triennially near Seoul or Suwon or Incheon, to pray for peace and a good harvest. At present, a complete version of the rite can be seen only in Jangmal, Bucheon. The shrine for village guardians in the pine forest, which is more than 300 years old, tells us that the exorcism rite started during the Joseon Period (1392 – 1910). The rite starts in the morning and finishes the next day morning. It is performed by a hereditary exorcist skilled in songs and dances. Male exorcists liven up the atmosphere, doing tightrope walking, cracking jokes and displaying various feats. Songs and dances by gisaeng (female entertainers) used to be included, but they have disappeared. Participation of male exorcists (called Hwaraengi) in the rite distinguishes Gyeonggi-do Dodanggut from those performed in other areas. Music and rhythms used in this rite follow those of pansori (epic chant). Displaying high artistic quality, Gyeonggi-do Dodanggut is regarded as a valuable source material for anyone studying the country’s traditional culture.

    A inkstone refers to a stone that grinds ink, and there are four tools needed for calligraphy, which is a unique culture of the Orient, which are called Munradaeu (Ji, Phil, Muk, and Yeon), among which a inkstone grinds ink.

    The ink should be ground well and its own dark color should be visible. On the surface of the floor, there is a fine squirt, such as a whetstone, and the ink is created by pouring water and rubbing it against the ink. Apart from its simple function, it is sculpted in the margin of the inkstone, so the patterns show the emotions of the time.

    In general, a inkstone reminds you of a black stone and a wooden stone that is commonly used in the market.

    However, the Danyang magnetic wall was called the magnetic wall because the color of the stone was red, and the moisture absorption rate of the stone itself was extremely low, so once ground ink could be used for a long time, the ink would not dry, the color of the ink would not change, and the stone would be soft and hard, so there would be no residue. In addition to the richness of ink and the strength of the gemstone, the ground for grating does not wear out easily, so it can be preserved and used for a long time.

    As for the inkstone, it can be carved into a variety of 傳統文, including 雲龍硯, which expresses the dragon and cloud with the best conditions, 日日, which expresses the sun and the moon, 神神, which expresses the turtle, 四友硯, which expresses the pine-tree-maehwa, and 국-四 표현한, which expresses the plum-nancho-chrysanthemum-and-tree.

    Since the Joseon Dynasty, the tradition and customs of the Korean people have been established, and it was a typical trend of leap month in Seoul.

    According to Hong Seok-mo's Dongguk Sesigi, "Yundal custom" is believed to have led Jang's women to visit the temple and offer money to the temple, and from heaven." The contents of Dongguk Sesigi appear to have witnessed and recorded in person the life and death of a Buddhist temple in Seoul.

    Even during the Joseon Dynasty, when Confucian culture prevailed, temples around the capital city continued to inherit the tradition of Buddhist rites. The temples in Seoul continued to develop these historical and cultural foundations to maintain the reputation of the temple and to establish itself as a seasonal custom of Korean traditional culture.

    Seoul's Jesus is worth preserving as an intangible cultural asset of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, given that it is a representative intangible heritage used in Seoul, and that it retains the original form of Jesus, which was seen at the time of the seventh anniversary, after completing the six-year-old ritual ceremony to suit.

    Pansori refers to a singer who intertwines a long story by mixing a spear (sound), a horse (anirli), and a gesture (a shape) in tune with the rhythm of a drummer (a (a drummer).

    Pansori was famous for its eight famous pansori singers from around 1834 (r. 1800 to 1834). The rhythms and tunes of the pansori were developed as they are today. The pansori was divided according to regions such as Dongpyeonje (Northeast of Jeolla Province), Seopyeonje (South Jeolla Province), and Jungdongje (Gyeonggi Province and Chungcheong Province).

    Among them, the sound of Dongpyeonje passed down from Song Heung-rok to Song Gwang-rok, Park Man-soon, Song Woo-ryong, Song Man-gap, and Yoo Seong-jun was loud. The sound of Dongpyeonje is composed of a thick, grand ornamentation that uses a lot of the tune of Useong, one of the five tones, and makes the voice heavy and the tail of the sound short.

    At the time of Pansori, the length of one yard was not that long, so the number of pansori twelve madangs was high, but now only Chunhyangga, Simcheongga, Sugungga, Heungbo, and Jeokbyeokga are handed down because of the five pansori or five batangs of Pansori.

    Heungboga is one of the five pansori yards and is also called Baktaryeong. Heungbo, a poor and good brother, fixed the broken swallow leg and planted the gourd seed that the swallow had brought to him to become rich. Nolbo, a generous and greedy brother, broke the swallow leg and planted the gourd seed that the swallow had brought, and made a pansori of the story that the pansori tells the story.

    Park Jeong-rye, whose Dongpyeonje Heungbo was designated as a holder of entertainment, came from a traditional pansori family that had been associated with pansori since her grandfather's generation, and spent her entire life with pansori. Currently, Suncheon Gugak Center is training its students for the victory of Heungboga, the Dongpyeonje.

    A tanghwa refers to a Buddhist painting (佛畵: a painting drawn in a frame or scroll form by drawing on a piece of cloth or paper to easily express and widely convey the contents of Buddhism), and the person who has the technique of painting such a tang is called a tanghwajang.

    Tanghua was painted for use in Buddhist events because it was much easier to make than other Buddhist paintings and could be moved without being fixed.

    It is assumed that the tanghwa of our country began during the Three Kingdoms Period with the introduction of Buddhism. This can be seen from the records of "The History of the Three Kingdoms" that Silla painter Solger painted an old pine tree on the wall of Hwangnyongsa Temple.

    In addition, the stone tangerines of Seokguram, which were made during the reign of King Hyegong of the Unified Silla Dynasty (r. 765-780), are believed to have been widely painted during the Unified Silla Period, starting with the Three Kingdoms Period.
