    Manga is one of the folk songs that bier people sing while wearing bier. There are two types of Jindo Manga, one of which is to call in the masters of the application to sing the full song when a portrait is made in a house known as a wealthy or local aristocrat. Another is to have the village's bier-snowpiercer do bier.

    The artists of the application are members of the shaman, who play drums, janggu, iron, and flute when the bier goes out, and often sing a full song with various editorials and tunes. When a village bier singer sings a full song, it is a bit simple to sing E-sori or Poverty Bodhisattva only.

    Jindo Manga is a specialized bier sound that is sung in Jisan-myeon, which is composed of Jinyeombul, Esori, Jaehwasori, Hajeok-sori, Dari Cheongeun, and Dagujil. The characteristic of Jindo Manga is that women in the village participate as headmen and sing together. These women are known as peddlers, and what could be seen in the aristocrats' traveling procession is now common. In addition, the two masked benches perform sword dances on ponies to chase away evil spirits, while torches appear and the mourning clothes of the residents are also unique.

    Jindo Manga is a very important Cultural asset in terms of folklore, given that the shaman's music and folk songs are used together and the unique characteristics of funeral customs followed by women as headmen.
