    ☆Mado Galbanga sori is a labor song that is sung during the work of grilling gizzard nets, and is performed by combining the sounds of gizzard gulls. Not only is it valuable that fishing labor songs, which are difficult to be inherited, are fully inherited and have valuable cultural values, but it is also more valuable because it is a present transmission of traditional culture to represent cooperative harmony by reproducing the lifestyle of fishing villages.

    The Mado Galbanga sori is a distinctive work sound that has long been passed down along with the gizzard, the main means of livelihood for the islanders. The date of occurrence is unknown, but the lyrics and rhythms of the sounds reveal the joys and sorrows of their lives, and the status of transmission is good, which is valuable to traditional culture.

    Gizzard fishing itself remains unchanged as it used to be, but as the method of gizzard catching has modernized, the process of village collaboration has become unnecessary, the work will have to be eventually extinguished if it is not protected as a cultural heritage.

    ☆Although Yangju Nongak was generally referred to as Yangju Nongak, it was based on several Nongak pieces that were handed down throughout the Yangju town. The main source of the nongak transmission was the nongak in Gwangjeok-myeon, Seokuri, Bakdal-dong, Gwangjeok-myeon, Gwangseok-ri, and Deokdori nongak. These nongak have been combined to reach today's Yangju nongak. It is a nongak that fully embodies the nature of nongak in northern Gyeonggi Province and embodies the typical aspect of nongak in Gyeonggi Province.

    Yangju Nongak is related to the "Homi Ssise," in which the basic personality is done after the farming process.

    In this town, dure(farmers' cooperative group) was intense in every part of the village. There was a tradition of eating food and holding a feast at the end of the farm work. It is Yangju Nongak that originated from this tradition. In addition, Yangju Nongak is based on 'Nongnapuri', a tradition of playing nongak while mimicking farming.

    It is replaced by showing the reproduction of nongak, which has a reserved nature, as a farming imitation.

    Farming is performed in the form of washing hoe, and the forms of rice paddies are consistently found in Goyang, Paju, Yangju, Guri, Uijeongbu, and Dongducheon in northern Gyeonggi Province. The composition of rice paddy farming sounds is consistent, Nongak is performed as a farming pool, and the transfer process is shared in the form of ho-mi-sushi or ho-mi-gall. For this reason, Yangju Nongak can be regarded as a typical example of Nongak.

    The sound of a joke that is currently being handed down is a restoration of what was taken by Park Chun-jae (1883-1950) in the early 20th century.
