"Kimchi-making" is a daily and repetitive culture in which the entire Korean people participate as a community beyond regional, social, and economic differences. Kimchi is an indispensable food for Koreans regardless of the region, and it has become one of Korea's representative foods in recognition of its excellence internationally.

It is an important component of Korean culture for a considerable period of time that contains the spirit of cooperation and sharing, and through this culture, individuals have become united in their relationships with the people, relatives, villages, neighbors, and new communities and have formed their identity.

"Kimjang," the core of kimchi-making, contains traditional knowledge that nature and humans can live together, and the spirit of sharing, solidarity and harmony that emphasizes to maintain the good of society continues to modern society.

In the past, if intergenerational transmission was carried out mainly in women's communities such as mothers and daughters-in-law based on accumulated experience and knowledge, Hyundai is becoming an active entity where science is integrated and men participate in kimchi, and schools, private organizations, and local governments are also actively participating in various forms of kimchi culture.

In addition, the various fermented bacteria in kimchi show biological diversity and local diversity, giving a glimpse of cultural diversity derived from natural environment.

Making kimchi did not recognize certain holders or organizations in that it was a lifestyle and culture handed down throughout the country rather than requiring high-level special skills.

Jeju Chilmeori Dangyeondeunggut is a rite held at Chilmeoridang, the main hall of Geonip-dong, Jeju.

Geonip-dong is a small fishing village on Jeju Island, where residents held a ritual to pray for the peace and prosperity of the village to the two couples, the city's guardian deities, Dowonsu Inspection and Local Government, and the Yowwanghae Shrine, by catching fish and shellfish or making a living by working as a haenyeo.

Along with the couple's guardian deity, a ritual was held to honor the deity of Yeongdeungpo, which was held on February 1 from the Oenunbaeki Island or Gangnam Cheonjaguk to enrich the fishermen and haenyeo and return to their home country on February 15.

Danggut is held on February 1 and February 14 of the lunar calendar every year. On February 1 of the lunar calendar, when Yeongdeungpo god enters, Yeongdeungpo Hwanyeongje is held, and on February 14, the day before he leaves Yeongdeungpo god, Yeongdeungpo Songbyeolje is held.

Residents believe that the god of Yeongdeungpo receives a bigger farewell than the welcoming ceremony and leaves the next day after receiving a farewell ceremony in Udo, Gujwa-eup. Therefore, during the welcoming ceremony, only the owners of the ship or the religious people gather to perform a simple exorcism, and the farewell ceremony is held all day long, with many fishermen, haenyeo and other religious people gathering.

On Good Day, fishermen and haenyeo in Jeju City as well as residents of Geonip-dong will participate. And each family prepares food for ancestral rites and brings it to the sugar. Main Simbang performs the exorcism with singing and dancing to the rhythms of musical instruments such as gong, drum, and seolsoe.

The order of the exorcism rite is to invite all the gods to pray for the good fortune of the families who participated in the rite, to call in the local magistrate of Dowonsu, the local magistrate of the hometown, and Mrs. Yowanghae to pray for the peace of the village, to welcome the dragon and the god of Yeongdeungpo, to the safety of the fishermen and the haenyeo, to the sea again, and to the seeding of the sea.

Jeju Chilmeori Dangyeondeunggut is a rite containing Jeju Island's unique haenyeo beliefs and folk beliefs about Yeongdeungpo-shin, and has its unique and academic value in that it is the only haenyeo rite in Korea.

Referring to farmers’ music that has been handed down in Iksan (previously called “Iri”), Iri Nongak belongs to Honam Udo Nongak (Farmers’ Performance of the Eastern Jeolla-do). Nongak (farmers’ performance) has developed briskly in Saesil Village in Iksan. The village brought people who learned farmers’ music from experts in nearby areas like Gimje and Jeongeup and who trained a high-quality farmers’ music troupe as we see today. An Iri nongak troupe is composed of yonggi (dragon flag), nonggi (farmers’ flag), swaenap (conical wooden oboe), trumpet, samul [four percussion instruments, i.e., two kkwaenggwari (small gongs), two jing (large gongs), two buk (drums), and four janggo (hourglass-shaped drums)], beopgo (Buddhist drum), and japsaek [referring to a group composed of yangban (nobleman), daeposu (drummer), jorijung (masked clown), changbu (male clown), gaksi (young girl), and mudong (dancing boys)]. Troupe members who are called chibae or gunchong wear black vest over white jacket, white trousers, and sangmo (hat with feathers or strings attached), with bands in three colors tied around the head. Kkwaenggwari (small gong)-based rhythms include those related to ilche, ichae, samchae, oemachijilgut, pungnyugut, ochaejilgut, jwajilgut, yangsando garak, hohogut, and obangjin garak. Pangut (entertainment-oriented performance) proceeds in the order of insagut, ochaejilgut, jwajilgut, pungnyugut, yangsando, ginmaedoji (joint performance of kkwaenggwari and janggo), sambangjingut, banguljingut, hohogut, dallachigi, short maedoji, jjakdeureum, ilgwang nori, gujeong nori (individual play), and gi sseulgi. There are diverse forms of bupo nori (hat dance) performed by sangsoe (leader of the farmers’ music troupe). Well-developed janggo rhythms and dances are mixed with the music. The performance also features sogochum (small drum dances) and jinpuri march. Many rhythms are relatively slow. The music makes colorful rhythms, each played to meticulously transformed tunes. Pungnyugut and deongdeokgungi-related rhythms showcase highly sophisticated techniques. Iri Nongak is a folk art performance that has been handed down along with the village history, playing an important role as an event that provides consolation in the hard life of farmers and helps villagers get along with each other well.

The Royal Ancestral Ritual in the Jongmyo Shrine and Its Music is also known as 'Jongmyomusic' as the general name for instrumental music, song and dance performed at the memorial service for the kings and queens of the Joseon Dynasty.

It is also called Jongmyo Daeje because it was a large and important ritual held in Jongmyo during the Joseon Dynasty
