    Seoul SaenamGut was performed for the upper classes in Seoul to console the spirits of the dead and pray for their peaceful life in heaven. It is presumed that this rite was first performed during the Joseon Period (1392 –1910) and took on a more developed form during the 17th and 18th Centuries.

    The rite is composed of Andang Sagyeong Maji (spending time from 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. in the courtyard) and SaenamGut, which is performed from the following morning by five female exorcists and six dancers to the accompaniment of janggo (hourglass-shaped drum), buk (drums), daegeum (bamboo flute), piri (flute) and other instruments.

    Seoul SaenamGut has features that cannot be found in the other exorcism rites. It displays elaborate composition and looks gorgeous. It includes both Buddhist and Confucian elements as well as contents relating to the royal court of the Joseon Period.

    Jinogi Gut refers to Mangjachundo Gut, which is sent to the underworld to console the spirit of the deceased. There are Mangjachundo Gut in various parts of the country, which is called Jino GiGut in Seoul, and in large scale, it is called Saemam Gut. In Honam, it is called washing gimGut.

    Jin Ogi Gut, a rite of mass destruction, is also inherited in Gyo-dong, Ganghwa. Gyo-dong Jin Ogi Gut exhibits a unique style of composition that is different from Hwanghae Gut, Gyeonggi Gut, and Seoul Gut. There is Naerimjangdan, and Jangdan, which is also called Gyo-dong Manse-beon, is different from that of Hwanghae-Gut or Seoul-Gut Manse-beon.

    Gyo-dong Jin Ogi Gut will be taken to 14 streets. The Byulbugjeong where all the negatives are bitten, the BujeongGut where people pray for the wishes of the gods and listen to the meritorious deeds of men, the Janggun Street where a shaman wearing a male dress with fans and bells asks for a general, the Sangsang Street where a male skirt wears a star costume, the Shinjang University in a male skirt, and the Daedamgamgonggwaegwaegwaeulu dance were performed. Gyo-dong Gut is believed to have continuity at these four streets as it was followed by a series of Gut from Janggun Street to Daegam Street.

    Next, a shaman wearing a red skirt and a Changbu street holding a fan and a gilji, a street where she worships the Changbu god, a street where she calls for a private fortune, a street where a deceased person who goes to the afterlife enters Gutcheong over a thorn gate, a shaman sitting on a rice horse begins the spirit of the deceased, and a bridge that overlaps with the Sambebe and Mumyeongs.

    In addition to Jin Ogi Gut, DaedongGut, BugundangGut, and SashinGut were also performed in Ganghwa Gyodongdo Island, and each family had its own shaman to pay their respects to the family. Jinogi Gut in Gyodong, which has developed against this backdrop, is noted for its local identity between Hwanghae Gut and Seoul and Gyeonggi Gut.
