    Eroyo, which is called in the Goseong area, is used in several different names. The sound of a boat falling is called "dendaejil" or "self-sound," and the sound of a boat lifting up is called "dendaejil" or "yahasori." Also, the sound of grilling meat is called "baby sound," while the sound of singing while passing pollack over to the phlegm is called "baby sound," and the sound of rowing. The sound of grilling meat is called "sound of phlegm," "sandaejil" and "ayasori," while the sound of the net pulling is called "esha-sori," and the sound of the netting is called "the sound of dori-jil-jil-jil-jil-jil," or "the sound of the rich." It consists of the sound of belly and hoisting (dunching), the sound of rowing and netting, the sound of pulling and loosening nets, the sound of copying and counting pollack, and the sound of mourning and perfusion, and the sound of pollack are being passed down, and there are various sounds of pollack. The content of the erroyo varies from stage to stage of the work. They go out to sea with a rowing sound, following the sound of anchoring or lifting. After that, the song changes depending on the fishing method, and the sound of netting, netting, and meat-pushing continues when the anchovies are caught with the net attached to the boat. On the other hand, when catching anchovies with a hook net, they did not make a netting sound, but made a net pulling and a meat-pouring sound. In addition to the sound of pollack fishing, the Goseong area includes Banam-ri Banbau Furijil and Gong Hyun-jin Gombawi Seaweed Picking. Banbau Furijil is an eroyo where fishermen and residents sing the joy of the fish as they greet a meat boat that catches anchovies and returns home with full sail, and it is divided into "the sound of putting out a fish net," "the sound of pulling a hook," and "the sound of blowing meat." It is also said that Gonghyeonjin Gombawi Seaweed Picking Eroyo was called to forget the difficulties while removing weeds attached to the rocks to pick quality seaweed from large and small rocks such as Gombawi and Bulgeunnaebawi.

    Buddhist paintings, along with Buddhist pagodas and statues, can be classified as objects of Buddhist faith, and according to their production form, they can be classified as tanghwa, vulcanization, and mural paintings. In particular, the tanghwa is enshrined as a major object of worship after undergoing religious rituals such as costume and burial rituals. Tanghwa, which is handed down to Korean traditional temples, is the main source of Buddhist paintings, and the craftsmen in charge of Buddhist paintings were called Geum-eo, Hwaseung, Hwasa, and Hwawon.

    In the meantime, the function of making a Buddhist painting has been passed down by the owner of Dancheong, but considering the characteristics of the items, it was separated into a single item and designated as a Buddhist cremation site.

    Kim Jong-seop was born in Taean, South Chungcheong Province, but settled in Mungyeong due to the great monk of Sabulsan Mountain and Kim Ryong-sa of Undalsan Mountain. After his settlement, he established the Gwaneum Buddhist Art Institute and has been focusing on his work.

    Gwahaju is a famous liquor from Gimcheon that has been down for hundreds of years. It is made of glutinous rice and yeast, and uses water from Gwahacheon Stream in Namsan-dong, Gimcheon-si. The name Gwahaju is said to have a good taste for alcohol and the taste of alcohol does not change even after summer. It is written in "Geumneung Seunggam" that people from other provinces come here to learn how to make overhaju, and no matter how many times they make it in the same way, they can't taste and smell it, probably because the water is different.

    It is made by mixing glutinous rice and yeast powder in the same amount to make rice cakes, and by sealing them in a jar without water and fermenting them at low temperatures for one to three months. In this way, the heavy drinks made in this way have a unique scent and taste, with alcohol levels ranging from 13 to 14 degrees.

    Gwahaju was made by the "Kangdo Island" (Kimcheon Brewery Company) until the Japanese Colonial Period, but was resumed after Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule and disappeared again into the Korean War. In 1984, Song Jae-sung began to produce it in earnest after a trial brewing and succeeded in Gimcheon Myeongju. Song Jae-sung died in 1999, and there are currently no functional holders.

    Andong Soju was a distilled soju handed down from a famous house in Andong, and the general public used it as a first aid for wounds, stomachache, poor appetite, and indigestion.

    The recipe is to soak five grains, rice, barley, joe, sorghum, and beans in water, steam them in a sirloin, mix them with yeast, and ferment them for about 10 days to make a statement.

    If you put this statement in a pot and make a fire with soju on top of it, the statement is distilled and soju is made. Andong Soju, produced here, has excellent taste and aroma because of its good clean water.

    Andong Soju was passed down to Gayangju, but it was commercialized under the brand "Jebi Soju" in 1920 by establishing a factory in Andong, but production of Soongok Soju was suspended in 1962 due to the revision of the Taxation Act.

    Then in 1987, Andong Soju production and sale were resumed in 1990 after the secret recipe for making Andong Soju was designated as an intangible cultural asset and Cho Ok-hwa was recognized as a functional holder.

    Shijochang refers to singing a song with the lyrics of Sijo poem (Korean traditional poetry), also known as Sijo song, Sijeol dan song, and Danga. The oldest record is a poem written by Sin Gwang-su, a scholar of the reign of King Yeongjo (1724-1776), in which Yi Se-chun added a rhythm to the poem. In the "Yu Yeji" and "Gura Cheolsageumjabo" published during the reign of King Sunjo (r. 1800-1834), Sijo's sheet music first appears. After that, due to the influence of the song, the composition of the sijo music was distributed and divided into local characteristics.

    Yeongje Shijo is a poem-making instrument centered on Gyeongsang-do. Pyeongsi and private sijo are the most frequent, and the unique accent of Gyeongsang-do is strongly represented, giving a vigorous and grand feel. Because they play a temporary instrument with a long or knee rhythm without an instrument, five beats are reduced in the beginning, middle, and end rhythm. The scale is composed of three-symmetric tones (a sad and mournful tone) and five-syllable tones (a clear and vigorous tone).

    Yeongje Sijo was a poem that was cherished even in the royal court because it was so musical that the proverb "Yeongnam Sijo is good" came out from the word "Yeongnam Sijo is good." However, it was designated as an intangible cultural asset and protected it as it was only preserved in its reputation compared to other local Sijochang.

    Gongsan Nongyo is a labor song, and when a singer sings first, farmers receive backstabbing and sing. The contents include a song for fishing (wooden song), mangga song, dorigae, threshing song, mochi song, rice planting song, and so on. Eosong is a song that is sung when cutting down trees or when they are in full bloom. Mochi is a song that is sung when steaming rice seedlings and planting rice seedlings. Rice harvesting is a song sung while hanging rice paddies. Women participate in mochi and rice planting songs, and although there is a clear difference in the rhythm of each type of song, the songs used for fishing and rice planting are the same. Currently, the dure and mill have disappeared and only the song is being told.

    Gongsan Nongyo was designated as an intangible cultural asset to protect and inherit it as a folk song with a young local color with the sorrow and joy of simple farmers. Song Moon-chang, an entertainment holder living in Daegu, continues his career.

    Water service agents are also called incarnation agents or water supplements. Suncheon Gusan Water Service Festival has the following origins.

    Oseongsan Mountain in this neighborhood covers the rising sun, forming the direction of fire or the shape of fire, which is why fires frequently occurred. In order to suppress the energy of fire, the village held a water festival at sunset on the fifteenth of lunar January.

    The process of water-making is to first place ducks on a six-meter pole to prevent the fire from blowing in the east, lay yellow soil around the piers and priests set toward the east, and clean them with gold strings.

    At 5 p.m. on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the memorial service will be held in a Confucian ceremony after offering pig heads, five kinds of fruits, grapes, and rice.

    What is unique is that the ritual called 'water-viewing' is performed to mark the amount of water filled in a jar buried under the ground during last year's water service. In other words, if the amount of water is reduced a lot, it will rain a lot that year, and if it is reduced a lot, there will be a drought.

    When the water supply system is over, go to the baggage counter and carry out the water service. Then, the "Moon House Burning" play, which is called the after grass, continues, and the Gusan Water Festival ends with the end of the village "Wildang Bapgi."

    Currently, the Suncheon Gusan Water Conservation Society has formed and is striving to win the victory.

    Although it is difficult to find a literary record of "Samhyeon Yukgak," it is generally believed to have originated from "Samhyeon Samjuk" during the Unified Silla Period, and Samhyeon refers to string instruments and Samjuk wind instruments. However, the current term "Samhyeon Yukgak" refers to the formation of wind instruments based on the addition of a flute, haegeum, and drum, while the meaning of Samhyeon, which refers to a string instrument, disappears.

    Therefore, it is widely believed that the "Samhyeon Samjuk" of the Silla Dynasty changed to "Samhyeon Yukgak" over the years.

    On May 15, 2014, Choi Kyung-man (Piri), Kim Moo-kyung (Haegeum), and Lee Chul-joo (Daegeum) are recognized as the holders and are active.
