    Drumming refers to the art of making traditional drums. The mastermind of the drumming was called "Kang Ssuhuan" in Chinese characters. The drum, which makes sounds by ringing animal skins, is considered one of the most primitive instruments. This is because the sound of leather moves the basic sensibility of human beings more than other materials. Therefore, the North has a very long history, regardless of which country it is, and South Korea is no exception.

    The drum is divided into Jeongakyong, Buddhist temple, and civilian use according to its purpose, and there are many types of drum. In addition to Beopgo, Maegu Book for Nongak, and Sori Book for Pansori, there are 14 types of Jeongak, including Jugo, Yonggo, Yeonggo, and Gyobango, and others, which are commonly known as Beopgo, Maegu Book for Nongak, and Pansori, and Sogo and Janggo for private use. The janggu was originally produced separately, but is now included in the scope of the work of the drumming machine.

    Drums with different names differ in form or method of making them for different purposes. The drum usually uses cowhide, but the janggu needs to use doghook to make its own sound. One of the key points of drumming is the making of the woolen canister and leather tanning technology. The tanning that deals with raw leather is now only partially transmitted. There are ways to cut down the inside of a log and to connect the sides of a tree to make a round ring. Among these, the technology to connect the sides of a tree is very demanding and difficult.

    Bukmaeugi was recognized as a national intangible cultural asset by the late Park Kyun-seok and the late Yun Deok-jin. Currently, Gyeonggi-do Province is tying up and designating drum-maeugi for the musical instrument field. In 1999, Im Sun-bin (born in 1950) was recognized for his function, and his son is recognized as a son.

    Im Dong-guk and other students are actively being taught to him.

    The stringed instrument field among musical instruments refers to craftsmen who produce gayageum and geomungo. During the Joseon Dynasty, it was also called a pungryu or pungmungmuljang. The history of stringed instruments dates back to before the Three Kingdoms Period. The geomungo of six prefectures was invented by Wang Sanak of Goguryeo, and twelve lines of gayageum originated from Gaya. Geomungo was also referred to as Hyeonhakgeum, or cash, which means the most fundamental musical instrument, because black cranes gathered together at a solemn sound. Geomungo is a symbol of harmony among the Yaeak, the core of the political philosophy of oil prices, beyond entertainment, and was also a must-have item in the study of noblemen and scholars.

    In addition to geomungo and gayageum, string instruments include Ajaeng, Haegeum, Daejaeng, Hyangbipa, Wolgeum, Wa Gonghu, Su Gonghu, and Yanggeum, among which Gayageum is largely divided into Jeongakyong and Sanjo. The main ingredient of the string instrument is an odong tree, which is used as an eulimtong, and chestnut wood, which is stronger than this, is used to support the sound. The craftsman who deals with stringed instruments thinks that the difference in sound quality is mainly related to the quality of the paulownia, so he puts his efforts into obtaining quality materials. Since ancient times, it has been widely recognized that the slow-growing Odong in the midst of barren rocks has a soft sound, and Seoksang-dong, recorded in "The Evil Scrolls," is related to this.

    String instruments are among the areas that have been activated compared to other craft fields thanks to the success of Gugak. The late Kim Kwang-ju, Lee Young-soo, and Go Heung-gon have been recognized as national intangible cultural assets. In Gyeonggi-do, strings are tied and designated in the field of musical instrument No. 30-2. In 1999, Choi Tae-soon (born in 1941) was recognized for his function and actively taught to his son Choi Jung-wook and other students.

    Whistle-jobs means fast-paced ones. The name Whistle Japga was given as the relative meaning of the long japga. The sit-down songs of the Jitchang line, such as the Gyeonggido and Whistle Japga, were developed by singers in and around Seoul, focusing on the Manrijae and Cheongpa Island, which were called the Four Seasons of Seoul, during the late Joseon Dynasty.

    When the miscellaneous singers sang, they sang the lyrics and sijo first, followed by a long jagga, a male jagga, and a Whistle jagga before ending the game with a popular folk song. In other words, it can be seen that Whistle Japga was mainly a song that was sung at the end because the humorous lyrics of Whistle Japga played an exciting role. The lyrics of Whistlejapga are usually variations of the long-shaped sijo, which are tightly woven on the stir-frying taryeong rhythm. For this reason, Whistle Japga is included as a branch of the private poem.

    Whistling is characterized by humorous lyrics. Listing the lyrics quickly has the effect of making you focus more on the lyrics. The lyrics of Whistling Japga evoke laughter by exaggerating, enlarging, enumerating, and reversing. Some of the current Hwimori jagga include "Gombo Taryeong," "Gimmaejabong," "Manhakcheonbong," "Gisaeng Taryeong," "Bawi Taryeong," "Bareung Taryeong," "Byeongjeong Taryeong," "Yook Chilwol-ryun Day," "Soongeomtaryeong," and "Bidan Taryeong."

    It is common for a whirling singer to sit alone and sing while playing janggu. The rock taryeong is a mixture of song and Changbu taryeongjo, and the silk taryeong is read like a book, and is sung in the sound of Maengindeokdamgyeong at the end. In addition, Gisaengtaryeong, Maengkongtaryeong and Rocktaryeong are stir-fried taryeong.

    Currently, Kim Kwon-soo, the owner of the Whistlejacka entertainment show, continues to perform and pass on Korean traditional music.

    Sajikdaeje is a national rite given to the god of land and grain, while Sajik means the god of land, and Jik means the god of grain. In ancient times, when a country was established, a ritual was held to pray for the people to live comfortably in the land and grain gods. The memorial service for the resignation, which has been held since the Three Kingdoms Period, offers a glimpse into our ancestors' gratitude for nature.

    King Taejo of the Joseon Dynasty established Jongmyo Shrine and Sajikdan Altar (Historic Site No. 121) along with the royal palace to set up Jongmyo Shrine on the east side of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Sajikdan Altar on the west, and Sajikdan Altar in each province to pray for the comfort and good harvest of the people. Sajikdan has assigned divisions (Taesasin and Futosin) and direct divisions (Tajiksin and Hujiksin) to the east and west). The ancestral tablets of Taiji and Taijik face north to the south of the Dansang, the huto god to the left of the Taoist god, and the latter to the left of Taijiksin.

    Usually, ancestral rites were held in February and August, and a rain ritual was held in the event of a major national crisis or drought. The procedures and formalities for holding ancestral rites have changed little by little over time, but gradually we moved away from the stage of imitating the Chinese ways and had our own examples. Various kinds of grain including raw meat of cattle, pigs, and sheep are prepared today, and the rituals are held in the order of spirits, emperors, jinchan, choheonrye, aheonrye, Jongheonrye, Eokbokrye, Cheolbyeondu, Songsin, and Mangye (Mangye).

    The music, dance, food, clothing, and rituals used in Sajikje, as well as our own ritual procedures for holding rituals, help us understand traditional culture. In 1894 (the 31st year of King Gojong's reign), the system was changed to the new government system, and was abolished by Japan's coercion in the 2nd year of King Sunjong's reign (1908). Since then, it was restored in October 1988 through the testimony of the late Yi Eun-pyo, who was the holder of the Jongmyo Jeryeondae. Currently, the Sajik Daejebongsa Committee, located within the Jeonju Yi Clan, preserves and inherits the Sajik Daeje.

    A labor song is a kind of folk song that is sung to forget fatigue and improve efficiency while working on rice paddies and fields. Songs can vary depending on the region or preference of the person who calls them individually or collectively.

    Namdo Labor Song is commonly referred to as a folk song of Jeollanam-do. The labor songs of Jeollanam-do are largely divided into three regions: the Gansori area of the western plains of Jeollanam-do, the Gansori area of the eastern part of Jeollanam-do, and the Zelo area of the island's coastal areas. Among them, Namdo's Labor Song refers to a wild song (nongyo) handed down in the long-sori area of western plains of South Jeolla Province, centered on the Yeongsangang River basin.

    The contents of the nongyo are mochigi song, rice planting song, rice paddy song, and jangwonjil song. Mochi is a song that is sung while steaming rice seedlings, while planting rice seedlings are sung while lavering. Jangwonjil is a song sung by many farmers who work the hardest and reap the most, called "Jangwon" and carried him on a cow to enter the village.

    The Namdo labor songs were passed down by Chun Hak-sil, which was very slow but powerful, but the transfer of Namdo labor songs has been suspended since Chun Hak-sil died. However, labor songs sung by Chun Hak-sil in Muan, Hampyeong, and Naju are completely inherited.

    ''번장' refers to a craftsman who connects tiles on the roof tiles. Although it is not known exactly when tiles were used in Korea, it is presumed that they were used in earnest from the Three Kingdoms Period. Therefore, bungewagong started from this period.

    Later, tile technology from the Three Kingdoms Period was further developed, and according to records, there was a craftsman named Dr. Wa, who went to Japan to deliver tile technology. During the Joseon Dynasty, '와서와서' was installed in the first year of King Taejo (1392) to produce tiles. In the sixth year of King Taejong's reign (1406), roof tiles were supplied from 'Byulwayo'. In Byulwayo, Buddhist monks, including wajang, were also assigned to produce tiles on a large scale.

    There are two main types of wagong, one of which is called "wagong" or "wajang" as a tile maker, and the name "wagwakjang" was also used because a brick-making craftsman made it with a tile. The tile-roofing craftsman is called 'Gaejang', which is a name given to distinguish the tile-roofing craftsmanship.

    The tile-making craftsman is called the "Bunwa-gong" because the tile-covering work is called the "Bunwa-gong" and the tile-covering work is called the "Bunwa-gong." The roof is a building element that forms Korean architecture and is one of the most expressive parts of the tradition of Korean architecture, and it is also the most beautiful part of Korean wooden architecture. The roof of a tile is one of the most important characteristics of traditional Korean architecture, and the shape of the roof depends on the bundle technology.

    Most trees are available for use in the materials of the small trees, but depending on the characteristics and use of traditional furniture, they are mainly used for necrotic, leather, paulownia, jujube, pine, stone pear, sopae and ginkgo trees.

    Due to the abundant forest resources of Jirisan Mountain and the influence of the 12th Dortrune, which was established under the control during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, Jinju and Tongyeong have long been famous for their statues, jang, nong, or najeon-chigi, so they made and served various kinds of furniture such as hams and jangs used in palaces.

    Pansori Gobeob was born after the mid-Joseon Dynasty when Pansori was settled, and the drummer (the drummer) accompanies Pansori to the north.

    Since the ancient law was an accompaniment of pansori, it was not often used to promote the master, so it was very rare to see famous master singers during the Joseon Dynasty. In addition, the development of classical music was minimal as it was regarded as a means of Pansori classes. In the late Joseon Dynasty, pansori developed with a wide variety of characteristics, but it was not until the end of the 19th century that professional masters came out to develop the classical music.

    There are many theories in pansori-go method, but it can be largely divided into posture theory, breakdown theory, and acting theory. Posture theory puts the drum in front of the left side of the singer and sits facing the singer. The drum pulls to the left, puts its left thumb on the left side of the drum, and hits the left side of the barrel. Hold the drumstick in your right hand and put it on your lap, and hit it to the sound, but do not go up from left to right and above your head to head. Gojang theory is that a drummer beats the rhythm according to the sound of a singer, and plays the beginning of the syllable and the flow of the melody by hitting the drum and leather using his hands and chae. The theory of acting allows the master to accept the sound (chang) and the aniri (horse) as the opposite of the singer, and depending on the sound, the sound of the singer naturally connects with the sound, adding excitement to the sound, filling the gap in the sound of the singer's sound.

    Jeong Hwa-young and Song Won-jo are recognized as the holders of Pansori High School Act entertainment.

    Somokjang refers to a carpenter who has the skills and functions of making wooden furniture such as a building door, a window, a wardrobe, a gauge, a desk, and a door-gap, which are symmetrical to a major construction site.

    The name "small ranch" appeared from the Goryeo Dynasty, and it was called "ranch" during the Joseon Dynasty, but it seems to have been distinguished from the main sections. Until the early Joseon Dynasty, wooden furniture was mainly made for the royal family and the upper class, but during the late Joseon Dynasty, it was widely distributed to the private sector and was highly diversified, resulting in significant regional characteristics.

    For example, in the southern part of the country, wooden ornaments were used as a precious feature of the tree and were not coated with lacquer. Tongyeong is a typical example. The wardrobe in Hwasun, South Jeolla Province, combines both patterns, lacquer and decorations, and features a black tree. As such, the purpose of the wooden furniture is to maximize the wood texture of wood and pursue natural beauty. Therefore, small wooden furniture was made based on the form, standard, technique, and pattern of traditional furniture.

    Function holders Kim Chang-sik and Shim Yong-sik are continuing the trend.
