Among his food manufacturing functions, various types of rice cakes, such as white rice cake, honey rice cake, and Shingum vinegar rice cake, were one of the most representative rice cakes in the Joseon Dynasty, which were referred to as white rice cake, wheat cake, and shingam vinegar rice cake.

    Hwagak craft refers to crafts or techniques used to decorate the back by grinding iron horns thinly and drawing patterns. The artisan who works in hwagak is called hwagakjang. Hwagak crafts are unique characteristics of Korean crafts, which are not found in other countries, and show the characteristics of Korean woodcraft along with lacquerware. The origin is unknown, but the shell of a tortoise with similar characteristics was used during the Goryeo Dynasty's Najeonchigi, and the traces of the tortoise were evident after the late Joseon Dynasty.

    Hwagak uses a ventriloquism technique that boils the horns of a bull aged 3 to 5 and spreads them in half to make a flat surface, then stirs them thin enough to show the back, drawing a pattern on the back. Not only does the complexion preserve the color well, but the color is also deeper, enhancing the quality of the craftwork. Each piece of the pattern is attached with a glue on the skeleton, and the cow bones are cut between the pieces to fix the boundary. However, it is not easy to preserve them because of the elasticity of the cones, which were originally cones, over time. Therefore, the process of preparing materials was complicated and cumbersome, and expensive, so it was used by the royal court and the minority ruling class.

    The late Eumilcheon and Lee Jae-man were designated as national intangible cultural assets, while the late Han Chun-seop (1949-2015) of Gyeonggi-do was the only holder of the local incinerator. Han Chun-seop learned the art of painting by entering the Najeonchigi, and then learned the art of painting again under Eumilcheon. Currently, his son, Han Ki-duk, has been designated as an assistant instructor and is working hard to pass down his skills.

    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.

    ※For more information on the above cultural assets, please contact the Seoul Metropolitan Government Department of Historical and Cultural Heritage (☎02-2133-2616).

    A ranch refers to a craftsman who builds a house. It was also called a carpenter or ranch, and among them, a master craftsman who was responsible for the overall work was referred to as a potter or a potter. In Korea, wooden houses were developed with wood that were easily found in large forests, and palaces and temples were also built with trees. Therefore, the carpenter's job to handle trees was very useful.

    In "Gyeongguk Daejeon," it was recorded as a ranch without distinction between a ranch and a small ranch, but during the Goryeo Dynasty, there were two separate areas for building houses and weaving furniture. As the carpenter's work was complicated, he organized a systematized organization according to his duties. Under Dogyeonsu, which was in charge of the overall control of the entire building, there were several auxiliary pieces and pyeons and pyeons. The pyeons and wooden pyeons helped to cut and hang rafters in each process, including columns and beams, and roof structure. In addition to building the house, the wooden-floored ranch for weaving door frames, the stone yard for laying on ondol, the ni-jang for finishing the wall, and the Jehu and Bunwa-jang for making tiles and connecting the roof are long as each of their responsibilities.

    It was the purification of the technology culture that was completed through close collaboration. In particular, the traditional burial ground's ability to complete a house with a simple number and columns without any detailed drawings is amazing.

    The ranch includes the late Bae Hee-han, the late Lee Kwang-kyu, the late Ko Taek-young and Shin Eung-soo, Jeon Heung-soo and Choi Ki-young, who were designated as national intangible cultural assets, and several craftsmen are also working in the provinces through their respective transmission systems. Gyeonggi-do Provincial Government is a master of the ranch, and Jang Hyo-soon (born 1939) was designated as No. 36 in 2001.

    The musical instrument, commonly known as the instrument used to play music, has been used in traditional music since the Three Kingdoms Period, and about 60 types of musical instruments have been introduced, including unique instruments from Korea, and foreign instruments imported from China, the West, and other regions. As Korea was adjacent to the northern continent, Chinese and Western music was already introduced during the Three Kingdoms Period. Especially after Silla unified the three kingdoms, Tang Dynasty music was imported.

    By the Goryeo Dynasty, Song Dynasty folk music and aak were imported, and by the time of King Yejong's reign, Ahak was introduced, and it still came in large quantities. These instruments were classified according to the main ingredients needed to make musical instruments in "Jeungbo Munheongo," and in particular, the musical instruments used for the unique traditional music, as well as the instruments used for Ahak and Dangak.

    By the Japanese invasion, national sovereignty was lost and court musicians became free men. Of course, unlike the heads of government-affiliated musical instruments who made Jeongak-centered instruments, Sanjo-centered instruments were being produced in the private sector. This sanjo instrument can be said to be for individual performance, making it more cheerful and easier to transport than a group-oriented Jeongak instrument. During the Japanese Colonial Period, Kim Myeong-chil was named in Jeonju, and Kim Boong-gi (Kim Hak-gi) was named in Jeongeup.

    After Korea's liberation from Japan's colonial rule, Kim Myeong-chil's technique was followed by his son Kim Gwang-ju, who became the No. 42 instrument master in 1971. He moved to Seoul to teach Choi Tae-gwi, Go Heung-gon, and Lee Young-soo before passing away in April 1984. Originally, Yi Yeongsu was designated as a cultural asset of Jeollabuk-do with the functions of Kim Bungi in Jeongeup, but he also received the functions of Kim Gwang-ju.

    The musical instrument director originally thought he would make all instruments, but now he is divided into a drum, a jango, a gong, a gong, a jing, a salted fish, a flute, a gayageum, a geomungo, and a haegeum.

    ■ Origin of the King's reign

    Jeongjeonggok, a song written by Jeong-seo, who was raised to Busan Dongnae during the reign of King Uijong of Goryeo, was settled as a song during the Joseon Dynasty, and Sijo was derived from this song.

    Songs and sijo use sijoshi as a yellow word. The sijo is designed to simplify the melody and rhythm of the song so that anyone can sing it easily, so just the daegeum and janggu accompaniment is enough to play it. Furthermore, it is simple and simple, and it is a song enjoyed by scholars and nobles, not professional singers.

    The sijo word is a song that reduces and simplifies the song so that you can express your composure and style to the fullest.

    To indicate this, a fully qualified sijo is the Anglo-Sijo.

    Pulpis literally mean playing a flute with grass. The Chinese character is also called Chokjeokkeum, which is played by folding leaves or grass leaves and whistling them on the lips. It is said that peaches and citron leaves are used a lot.

    The record of the grass flute is the oldest recorded reed or reed flute in "Suseo" and "Dongdongjeon-dong" and also features a portrait performance in the poem "Someone picks a green leaf from a forest, blows it in his mouth, and makes a clear sound" in the poem "Moon Ga-seong" by Lee Gyu-bo during the Goryeo Dynasty. In 1493, "Akhakwebeom School" compiled by Seonghyeon and others during the reign of King Seongjong of the Joseon Dynasty recorded the types, materials, and methods of performing the full flute in detail. In "The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty," there are several records showing that the court had a musician playing the initials. In addition, a collection of calligraphic works by various writers showed that they enjoyed playing them from the top to the king to the commoners below. And Kang Choon-seop, a first-time music expert on meteoric albums, has recorded music such as "Hwimori" and "Gutgeori" with the same music as Sanjo. As such, the Pulpieri has been one of the musical instruments enjoyed by the Korean people throughout its long history, and has been recognized not only by the private sector but also by the official instrument.

    "The Evil Trapezius" records that anyone can play the instrument so easily that it is not difficult to make a sound and play it by saying, "You don't need the teachings of your ancestors, and you can only know all the syllables first." In fact, the full flute is easy for anyone to learn and play, and any music can be freely played. Today's first play is a folk song, a Cheongseong song, a Sanjo song, and other traditional pieces of music.

    In Gyeonggi-do, Oh Se-cheol was designated as the holder of a full flute, and he continues to perform actively.

    Jeongseon Arirang is also known as "Arari," a folk song unique to Jeongseon, which contains the living feelings of the residents of Jeongseon Mountain Village.

    It is said that Jeongseon Arirang was the first time that the scholars who served the Goryeo Dynasty began to sing poems about loyalty and longing for their hometowns while hiding in Jeongseon when Goryeo collapsed.

    The lyrics are mainly composed of love between men and women, separation, sinse-tan, poetry, or satire, but the lyrics and lyrics vary from one song to another, such as the sorrow and sorrow of a nation without a country during Japanese colonial era. Jeongseon Arirang has an appeal that the contents of the editorial are sad and sad, the woven parts clearly convey the editorial, and the drooping parts scream.

    If Jindo Arirang is upbeat, exciting, and its craftiness stands out, Miryang Arirang is stiff and masculine. In comparison, Jeongseon Arirang has a simple but female sigh in its calm flow.

    Currently, Yoo Young-ran, Kim Nam-gi, Kim Hyung-jo, and Kim Gil-ja are active as holders of Jeongseon Arirang, and Choi Bong-chul is recognized as honorary holders.

    Tanggun is a type of hat that men usually wear when wearing a gat, instead of a gat or a gat, and is made of horse guns or iron tail hairs. The person who has the skill of making these tangguns and the skill of making them is called Tang Geonjang.

    During the Joseon Dynasty, government officials usually replaced government offices, and the term 'guilt' was also derived from this term, 'gutu', which refers to becoming a government official.

    It is difficult to say whether the Tanggun of Korea is from China or from Goguryeo mural paintings or ancient official hat, but it seems to have been influenced by the Song Dynasty of China during the Goryeo Dynasty.

    This is because the hat worn in portraits of Choe Chiwon of Silla, Yi Saek and Jeong Mong-ju of the Goryeo Dynasty, is the same as Tang Geon. This shape extends to the early Joseon Dynasty.

    Tangguns were the most made on Jeju Island because most of the nation's horse guns are produced on Jeju Island.

    Tangguns are classified as single tangguns, double tangguns, and baduk tangguns. The shapes are all the same, but the shapes vary depending on how they are woven in layers or in double or triple layers. The Baduk Tanggun is a square pattern, which is decorated as the Tanggun acts as an independent hat.

    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.

    Onggi is a general term for earthenware and earthenware, and onggi is a pottery that does not have a glaze, and onggi is a pottery that is made of glaze, which corresponds to a narrow meaning.

    Unglazed pottery was the main focus until the Goryeo Dynasty, but from the mid-Joseon Dynasty, black-brown pottery with onggi was produced, and glazed pottery became common in the late Joseon Dynasty.

    Records show that large earthenware jars, called "Ong," were used to store or store liquids or foods such as alcohol, water, soy sauce, and salted fish before the Goryeo Dynasty. It was recently discovered that large quantities of pottery jars excavated from the Taean Mado Sea were used to store water or transport salted fish.

    During the Joseon Dynasty, pottery craftsmen were referred to as "gongjang." According to the "Gyeonggukdaejeon" exhibition factory, 104 of them belonged to 14 central government offices and produced pottery needed by the royal family and government offices.

    Pottery, including onggi, was used in a wide class from the royal family to the private sector and developed with regional characteristics in relation to climate or use.

    Jindo Hongju can find its origin in Soju, which came from the Yuan Dynasty of China during the Goryeo Dynasty. Therefore, scholars argue that the Mongolians who came to destroy Sambyulcho may have introduced the secret method of lowering Hongju, but it is hard to say that the herb used as a ingredient was introduced to Hongju using raw medicine because it is difficult to grow in the devastated Mongo land.

    Since the late Goryeo Dynasty, our ancestors have been making and drinking soju called hanju or baekju in any province. Originally, soju was used only in the royal court, but it seems to have gradually become popular with the working class.

    In this process, the wisdom of adding medicine to soju was developed, and the liquor was developed into weak soju or hansoju, giving birth to famous alcoholic beverages that were unique to each region. Jindo Hongju is also thought to have developed into a local silk.

    The process of making is three stages of the manufacture, desalination and fermentation of yeast and distillation. Hongju is a liquor with a high alcohol content of 40 percent or more that helps digestion, and has a high alcohol content of 40 percent or more, which makes you feel drunk even with a small amount without much stimulation in your throat, and has the effect and characteristic of being able to do cocktails without a hangover.

    Jindo Hongju had been generally manufactured in a well-to-do house until liberation, but since then, due to severe alcohol control, women and women who have a harder life than rich families secretly manufactured it as a means of living, and the secret recipe has been passed down to this day.

    Currently, the Jindo Traditional Hongju Preservation Society, which was founded in 1993, preserves, develops, and industrializes, and is inherited by Heo Hwa-ja, the holder of functions.
