    Gold gourd is a craftsman who prints various patterns using thin gold foil on top of a fabric. Today, it can be seen in women's wedding clothes.

    The gold foil decorations were used in the royal family in the Joseon Dynasty, and there were not many relics that existed due to storage problems, but the three daughters of Sunjo (1822-1844) said they were worn at the wedding of Princess Deogon, the third daughter of Princess Sunjo, are decorated with gold and the characters 'su and 'bok' (Chinese Folklore Cultural Heritage No.211).

    The gold foil decoration is made by stamping the adhesive pattern plate where it wants to be placed, attaching the gold foil before the adhesive dries completely, and then removing the gold foil outside the pattern again.

    The gold gourd technique is completed based on the woodwork technique of carving pattern plates based on the eye of selecting and placing patterns suitable for the composition of clothes, and the long experience of making and utilizing the properties of glue and gold foil, the main ingredients.

    Gold gourd refers to a piece of gold that is made like thin paper by continuously tapping on it, but today it is understood as a technique for decorating patterns on fabrics using gold foil.

    Song Gwang-mu (1911-1998), who was born in 1954 in Unsu-dong, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, began studying Buddhist painting with his father, Song Bok-dong (1911-1998). In the year when it was designated as a tang crematorium, it moved from Gwangsan-gu to Hwaam-dong, Buk-gu.

    He continued his tradition by learning from his father about the functions of the Buddhist temple, and conducted tanghwa, dancheong, ancestral statues, and gaegeum (re-painting the statue) at more than 100 temples across the country, including Odaesan Mountain, Baekyangsa Temple, and Seonunsa Temple. Recently, he has been working on the research of traditional Buddhist paintings through the excavation and reproduction of natural stone-colors, whose production techniques have not been handed down.

    The main characteristics of his Buddhist paintings are the use of iron wire among the 18 brush strokes, the use of the side, the natural coloring used in traditional Buddhist paintings, and the use of traditional natural stoneware. Also, the difference between Gubong and Song Gwang-mu's discord is that the most distinctive feature of the Gubong picture's tanghwa is the expression of 'clouds'. Hwamaek leads to Bakseokcho→Songbokdong→Songgwangmu.

    As a drum dance handed down in Tongyeong (Chungmu), Gyeongsangnam-do, it was performed by barmaids and boys. During the Japanese Invasion of Korea (1592-1598), Admiral Yi Sun-sin had this dance played to boost the morale of his troops or celebrate the victory of battles. Many dances performed in Tongyeong, a naval town, were called Seungjeonmu (Victory Dance). Only the Mugo (Drum Dance) was designated as important intangible cultural heritage under the name Seungjeonmu in 1968. Nine years later, Geommu (Sword Dance) was included in said designation. Looking at how a victory dance is performed, four dancing women in ceremonial dress with long white cuffs make movements, gathering in the direction of the drum placed at the center and then scattering in four directions with soft steps after beating the drum; thus creating a grand, joyous atmosphere. Samhyeon dodeuri (dodeuri rhythm music by three strings) and taryeong (Korean folk song) were used as accompaniment in music. The overall dance movements are simple and antiquated, carrying unique local characteristics. Dancers performing a sword dance wear white jacket, red skirt, black sleeveless coat, military official’s hat, red belt, and jacket with long, multicolor-striped undershirts while holding a sword in each hand. The tools used and dancers’ movements in Seungjeonmu are similar to the Mugo performed at the Royal Palace. The elegant dance movements, melodies of music, and overall exquisite arrangement make it a dance with high artistic and traditional value.
