    Unexpectedly, the story is about money and rice in the first gourd, fabrics in the second gourd, and carpenters who will build houses in the third gourd come out and become rich in the morning.

    Kim Ok-kyung (Kim Eun-hee, a student of Jeong Jeong-yeol) compares the characteristics of Kim Juk-pa's gayageum Sanjo, one of the most active sands currently played, with Kim So-hee (1917-1995), a half-brother of Kim Juk-pa, and once a girl's master singer, to the taste of gomguk, and the meaning of Sung Geum-yeon sancho was seasoned with the mountain.

    This deep taste of Kim Juk-pa comes from his five-graft method of schizophrenia, a combination of grandiose low notes, various group changes, and colorful vocal sounds.

    Meanwhile, the melody of the song is refined, woven, and composed by Kim Juk-pa, a woman for a long time, and also elaborates on Nonghyeon.

    The sword dance of Korea is seen in various documents, including "The History of the Three Kingdoms," as the sword dance of the Silla Dynasty's Guanchang is Hyoshiim.

    However, during the Goryeo Dynasty, the appearance of Guanchang was replaced by a mask, and during the Joseon Dynasty, the female Guan Changmu was recorded, so the sword dance, which was a brave dance, seems to have changed into an elegant Yeo.

    After the Silla Dynasty, it was passed down or destroyed by government officials who had been subjugated to the royal court and government offices, and it was eventually established in Gwonburn nationwide.

    In Gyeongsangnam-do, Jinju, Tongyeong, and Dongnae were handed down from Jinju, but they disappeared with the abolition of Kwon Beon, but they have been restored from Jinju to this day.

    Daegeum is a horizontal line that represents Korea.

    It is said that Silla had Samjuk, called Daegeum, Junggeum, and Salt.

    Among them, the payments have continued to this day and night. As shown in the Manpa-style folktale, Daegeum has the image of a musical instrument that benefits the world with a mysterious instrument.

    The daegeum includes the daegeum of Jeongak and Sanjo.

    Compared to Jeongakdaegeum, Sanjo Daegeum is relatively short in length. Therefore, there is a high sound.

    The charm of daegeum lies in the blue sky. It is the echo of a thin reed membrane.

    The Park Jong-gi Daegeumsanjo is a mountain of long-standing origin. It contains the native and circular sentiments of Jindo, Jeolla-do.
