☆Jeokbyeokga is one of pansori repertoire about the old stories from Romance of the three kingdoms.

Jeokbyeokga is a song with a strong will and masculine character, and among them, Zhao Yun's Bow Shooting scene is a part of which is musically well-organized, lively, and requires considerable power.

It is sung by a solemn sound that causes dramatic tension on Ujo, and is a representative part (nun-daemok) of the Jeokbyeokga.

It is a song about the resistance of independence activists who aspired to liberate their homeland during the 1910 Japanese colonial era period.

This song combines Korean traditional music with rock, and the guitarist Jung Ki-song of the rock group "Next" created by the late Shin Hae-chul participated to enhance the perfection of the song.

In particular, the music video of "Heroic Empire" was filmed inside Seodaemun Prison, which contains the hardships of the Korean people, including the Imprisonment of independence activists and key figures of the pro-democracy movement, adding to its historical value and meaning.

☆A traditional performance of song and dance by women, Ganggangsullae was first performed by local women around the coastal areas of Jeollanam-do on moonlit nights around the Chuseok (Harvest Moon Festival) on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.

Some believe that the dance was first danced as part of a military tactic designed by Korea’s great naval Hero, Admiral Yi Sun-sin (1545-1598), to surprise the Japanese naval forces invading the southwestern coast of the Korean Peninsula during the late 16th century and mislead them into believing that he had strong enough forces to repel them.

Meanwhile, some argue that it can be traced as far back as prehistoric tImes when early settlers on the Korean Peninsula had already established a tradition of singing and dancing on moonlit nights.

Whichever version is the more correct explanation, the dance continued to develop and become more sophisticated, and eventually became associated with other folk games such as “bracken picking,” “herring tying,” “tile treading,” “tail picking,” “straw mat rolling,” “gatekeeping”, and “needle threading,” as well as “tortoise play,” in which one dancer moves to the center of a circle with others following her.

The dance consists of a range of exciting movements and formations and is preserved in Haenam and Jindo on the southwestern coast of Korea.

Eunsan Byeolsinje is a shamanic rite held to honor the guardian deity of Eunsan Village at the village shrine in Eunsan-myeon, Buyeo-gun.

The rite is connected with a legend about a severe epidemic that led to the loss of many lives and with the strange dream of an elderly village leader. In his dream he met a Baekje general who had been killed during a battle fought to protect Baekje and was asked to bury the general and his men in a sunny place in exchange for a ‘magical intervention’ to repel the epidemic. Upon awakening from the dream, he visited the place mentioned by the general in the dream and found many bones scattered there. The village people collected and buried them in an auspicious site and performed an exorcism to console their spirits. The burial was followed by the end of the epidemic which, in turn, led the villagers to hold rites to honor their Heroic deaths.

The tradition gradually developed into the festival event of Eunsan Byeolsinje, which was initially held for about fifteen days between January and February once every three years.

As the date of the rite approaches, the village elders select those who will officiate over the event and assign military titles such as General, Colonel, Lieutenant, and Private to the designated officiants. In addition, the chief officiant is requested to use the utmost care in preparing the sacrificial offerings and to preserve the ritual venue from any signs of Impurity or evil by, for example, covering the well to be used in the rite with a straw mat, and by encircling the venue with an “evil-repelling rope” and scattering yellow and black grains of sand around it. The villagers then cut down trees to support the village guardian poles and make paper flowers to offer to the village guardian, and hold pieces of white paper in their mouths as they move to the shrine as a symbolic action to repel evil spirits.

The main part of the rite usually starts in the evening and ends at dawn with the process of erecting the village guardian pole and praying for the safety and prosperity of the village.☆

Gotchanggut in Oepo-ri is one of the Dodanggut that wishes for the prosperity of the village, such as Jeongpo Village, which focuses on fishing, and Daejeong Village residents, which focuses on agriculture, are well-farmed and many fish are caught.

Dotchanggut is a representative West Coast Punggeoje that honors General Im Gyeong-eop. Just as a Hero who died unjustly like General Choi Young became shamanistic, LIm also serves as an early fishing god along with the legend that he caught a young flag on Yeonpyeong Island and fed the sailors full on his way to China to avenge hImself.

Although it is a tradition to hold Gotchanggut in Oepo-ri every two or three years for three days at the beginning of the second lunar month, it was said that it was more frequent or delayed depending on the circumstances of the village. There is a small drumstick that cannot be seen in other Pungoje, and the order of the rite, unlike the order of the other places, is first greeted with water and then followed by well-mulgut and Danggut.

The Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, from May 23, 1592 to December 16, 1598, was a war between Joseon and Ming China versus Japan.

It was an international war that shook the history of East Asia in the 16th and 17th centuries, with tremendous influence not only on Joseon but also Ming and Japan, which were the main stages of the war.

From the Japanese perspective, although the original purpose of 'conquering Joseon and entering the continent' was not achieved, it also gained cultural benefits such as pottery manufacturing techniques, looting metal types, and inflow of Neo-Confucianism by looting various human and material resources from Joseon.

It also re-emerged as a major player in the international situation in East Asia a thousand years after the Battle of the Baekgang River in the 7th century. The beginning of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, which had reigned as an absolute hegemonic power in East Asia, was also foreign exchange, including the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Korean peninsula was devastated by the war.

There are many legends about Yi Sun-sin, who is revered as a sacred Hero, as well as about various righteous army generals throughout the country, and it is still being handed down to this day.
