Depending on the shape of the rite, it can be divided into seongut and seatedgut. Sakyamuni's Gut refers to a general rite performed by a shaman, while Sakyamuni's Gut was named after a shaman sitting in the Chungcheong area reading the scriptures.

Sajingut, which is believed to have historically been formed by interrelationships with other religions such as Buddhism and Taoism, has a long history as a branch of Korean shamanism with the addition of dance to the rite. The Chungcheong area, centered around Daejeon, has a strong tradition of sitting-gut, making it the only shamanistic area in Korea.

Seating Gut in Daejeon has Antaekgut, Madgut, and Seolgyeong, and the owner of Antaekgut and Madgut is Sinseokbong, which is reproduced in the way it was practiced in the 1940s and 50s. Song Sun-ja, the owner of Seolkyung's entertainment show, has been engaged in martial arts since 1977, and has been taught Seolkyung and other sitting gut for 15 years by the late Hwang Ha-cheong.
