Daljip(the Moon house) Burning is one of the seasonal customs in which people set fire to piles of pine branches when the moon rises on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The history of the festival seems to be very old, considering that it is a kind of ritual that is widely practiced in the mountains of the southern part of the country and is widely distributed in China and Japan.

Songcheon Daljip Taeugi is handed down to Songsan Village in Songcheon-ri, Woldeung-myeon, Suncheon-si, and is distinguished from other regions in many ways.

When the nongak is heard, villagers carry a forklift and go to cut bamboo and pine branches, some of which break down moon houses in neighboring villages and steal bamboo trees. In the wide front yard of the village, a log is placed in a cone shape and wrapped around a vine. The sound of a large knot bursting is said to drive away the evil of the village, so a large number of large vials are put in and burned. A bundle of straw collected from each house is piled up in the moon house, and a pine branch is raised to make it catch fire. On top of the moon house, there is also a kite attached to it, which had been floating since the beginning of the year. I waited for the moon to rise. They light a fire, and when the flame rises red, they strike nongak, dance until the fire is burned out and goes out, and shout cheers.

Believing that there will be a good harvest if the fire rises higher than the neighboring village, the Daljip-taewoo is said to put out the moon as the smoke rises to the sky. Some predict a good harvest when the moon house is burnt down, but it is said that a good harvest will occur only when it falls at the end of the night.

The Great Full Moon is a symbol of abundance, and the fire is a symbol of purification that sweeps away all injustice and evil, and the Moon House Burning has a close relationship with the Moon. The moon house burning contains the hope of a generous New Year and a bright New Year with no diseases or worries.

Piljang is a craftsman who makes brushes using basic materials such as fur and bamboo. The brush is made of a cone by collecting the animal's fur and fixing it to the brushstrokes. It mainly uses animal hair, such as goat hair and weasel hair.

The brush-making function is the same everywhere in the country, and not only is the number rapidly decreasing recently, but the tradition of Korean brush-making may be cut off due to the influx of Chinese brushes and materials (chlorine hair).

The value of designation is significant in that it is necessary to preserve the traditional function of making brushes using goat hair and bamboo in Gangwon-do.

Since settling in Chuncheon in 1985, Park Kyung-soo has played a role in preserving and inheriting Korea's traditional brush-making functions by using traditional techniques throughout the entire process, such as straightening, removing oil, shaping, tying brush straws, and applying brush strokes.

Chokjeok ( 가리킨다) refers to a musical instrument played by blowing thick, tough leaves into the lips and at the same time playing with it. It is also known as Chogum and Pulpiri.

In the 24th year of King Seongjong's reign of Joseon (1493), a royal music book compiled by Seonghyeon and others, there is a collection of chowgeum, and a collection of chowgeum music is also seen in the royal court's Jinyeon-gwe, a report on the royal ceremony. In addition, the records of Chogum Sinawe and Chogum Samhyeon, which were recorded by a Chogum master named Kang Chun-seop during the Japanese Colonial Period, appear to have been played as professional music in the royal court and in the private sector since early on.

The court music's foundation has already been cut off, and the private music's collection is almost at risk of being cut off. Fortunately, Park Chan-beom, who was designated as a first-time entertainment holder, held several performances as he could learn Chogum from his father and make Chogum's voice well, and play Sinawe well with Chogum. He also played Chogum with an orchestra.
