    The apportionment refers to a traditional painting processing technique that enhances not only beauty but also practicality and preservation by attaching paper, silk, etc. to letters and paintings. It was introduced during the Japanese Colonial Period and is now called "Pyo-gu." Baechapjang refers to a person who was in charge of painting the royal court in the early Joseon Dynasty.

    Known as the origin of the Han Dynasty of China, the Chinese Tang Dynasty developed further and reached its founding stage. I don't know how it was passed down to Korea, but judging from the folding screen paintings of Goguryeo tombs, it is estimated that the foundation of the Korean layout was formed during the Three Kingdoms Period. Baechop was developed steadily after the Unified Silla and Goryeo Period. During the Joseon Dynasty, an expert named Baechapjang appeared.

    There are five types of arrangement: frame, folding screen, scroll, scrolling, and ancient painting processing. The frame goes through the process of working on the silk foundation - the cultivation of the painting plant - the preparation of the frame and the preparation of the frame. One width of a folding screen is the same as a frame.

    The work process of the scroll consists of foundation - vinegar - double - drying - triple - drying - and half - month attachment. A binding refers to the treatment of ancient books that have been damaged by a cover or slip. Ancient painting processing requires high insight and detailed skills as it is a work to revive damaged ancient paintings.

    Baechapjang was designated as an intangible cultural asset at the cultural level as a traditional craftsmanship, and Hong Jong-jin, a functional holder living in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, continues to live there.

    The Gyeonggi Gokal Sogo Dance, which is performed by wearing a cone hat and making fun of Sogo, was part of a cheerful nongak, a folk dance embodying the sogo sticks inserted into nongak in Gyeonggi Province.

    However, rather than feeling that Nongak overlaps with its roughness or excitement, the movement is soft, and even the sogo in the hand is as beautiful as if it were part of the hand. It is a man's dance because his feet and hands are refined and quiet, but the joy of seeing a dance is great.

    Unlike other regions, it is not only organized by the talented people, but also there is a movement only in this dance. They include "Saekgyeongbuk," which is a mirror-looking movement, "Jegibook," which is a leg movement, and "Kkuri Book," which is a movement that is like winding thread. There is a record of the dance with flowers on top of the vestibule, and the palace wore a colorful cone hat.

    The genealogy of Gyeonggi Gokal Sogo Dance goes up to Kim In-ho, a dancer of Hwaseong Jaeincheong, and Hanseong Sunbo has a one-line record of "He is good at rope riding and even jesting in pansori, and he is especially good at bucking dance."

    Lee Dong-an, the owner of the Bal Tal Tal Talent, was taught about 30 traditional dances and rhythms by Kim In-ho, which led to Jeong In-sam, the owner of the Gyeonggi Gokal Sogo Dance. Jeong In-sam's Sogo dance features clear dance moves and accurate composition.

    "Fire" is a painting that expresses the religious ideology of Buddhism. Although it is not known exactly when Buddhist paintings were produced, experts speculate that they were produced from the early days of Buddhist introduction based on records that they were painted in "Giwonjeongsa," one of the primitive Buddhist temples. Because Buddhist paintings contain Buddhist doctrines, the artisans who produce Buddhist paintings were particularly called 'Geumoong' , 'Hwaseung', 'Hwasa' , and 'Hwawon' .

    Since Dancheongjiang City Hall was designated as National Intangible Cultural Property No. 48 in 1972, the Buddhist painting production function has been passed down by the owner of Dancheongjang, but has been separately designated and operated as a national intangible cultural asset since 2006. The Buddhist painting by Lee Yeon-wook, the 57th Gyeonggi Intangible Cultural Property, began in 1977 by learning from the late Cho Jung-woo, the head of the 14th Dancheong of Daegu Intangible Cultural Property. After that, he entered the temple in 1987 under the late Buddhist monk Deokmun, the late chief of Dancheong, the 48th Important Intangible Cultural Property.

    To become a master of Buddhist painting, one must have artistic sense and artistic skills, but hard work is required. Most Buddhist paintings are painted on ceilings and walls, and are of considerable size. Another reason is that there are various types of paintings such as "Yeongsanhoesangdo," which are based on the scriptures of Buddha's "The Lotus Sutra" on Yeongchuksan Mountain, and "Seokga Palsangdo," which describes Sakyamuni's life in eight important scenes. A poem that should be painted in discord.

    It is not something anyone can do because they must learn all the traditional patterns that go into discord, including dragons, Bong, medicine, tigers, non-celebrities, and Sakyamuni's Birthday.

    Lee Yeon-wook, the holder of the painting, has a wide range of conditions as a Buddhist cremator and is the only one in Korea to paint a golden tangerine. The 15-year study was original, and it attempted to paint a golden tangerine painting on a black background and a red tangerine painting on a red background, rather than a traditional tangerine painting. In particular, the "high-molecular fitting" method, in which major parts such as ornaments and patterns are processed and gold is attached, was patented in 2005. He is promoting Korean discord around the world with his own technique, and his work "King Jijiangshib and Mimodo" is in the Los Angeles County Museum in the U.S.

    Seonggok-dong's gray-headed holy emperors have been held twice a year to greet the spring and autumn shingok. It is said that the Seonghwangje Festival was much larger than the Seonghwangje Festival, which took several months to greet the new song of autumn.
