Even little kids👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 can often meet, so I recommend the Sokri Mountain Beopjusa hiking course⛰️ that is perfect for beginners! [Address] : Beopjusa small parking lot (26-1 Sanae 8-gil, Sokri-san-myeon, Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do) [Fee] : 5,000 won [Beopjusa entrance fee] : 5,000 won [Entry hours: Summer, April to October] : Sesimjeong~Munjangdae 4:00~15:00 ✔️ The fall foliage is also beautiful, but there are so many people that it is likely to literally become a parking hell. Leave early in the morning during the fall foliage season. ✔️ If you start from the Hwabuk course on the other side of Beopjusa, you don't have to pay the entrance fee, but the course is shorter and the difficulty level is slightly higher. #Tourist attraction review

Spring is coming, the weather is getting warmer, so it seems like the camping season is back! I went in the middle of winter when it was -7 degrees, but it's a better place when the weather is warm like these days. The charm of open-air camping is that there is no check-out time! It was nice to be able to sleep in late and rest until late in the afternoon. There is a clean bathroom at the Nakdong Riverside Multipurpose Plaza, so it was a great open-air camping spot for camping. The sunset is also pretty, and Sangju Gyeongcheon Island is right next to it, so it's a great place for sightseeing! 📌 #Nakdong River Multipurpose Plaza 📌 170 Donam-dong, Sangju-si, Gyeongbuk #Camping #Open-air camping #Sangju camping #Car camping

Since Sundae Gukbap is famous, there were quite a few customers even though it was late at night. I took a picture of one bowl of pork soup, one bowl of sundae soup, and one bowl of sundae jjigae because I was so hungryㅋㅋㅋ They gave me a lot of side dishes and it was savory without any gamey smell, so I ate a bowl of sundae jjigae and noodles in one go. Since the breads in the rattan and plant brunch showcase are also famous, I was determined to go. I’ll fill up on overeating and lighten my stomach with a bowl of aoa and dacquoise, and since it’s a brunch cafe, I’ll taste something and talk about it^*^

#sustainabletravel #carbonfootprint #walkingtravel There are many tourist attractions in Sangju, Gyeongbuk. This time, I will introduce Gyeongcheon Island Park. The weather was so nice that I took a Sangju city bus. Right in front of Sangju Terminal, take bus number 250 and in about 30 minutes, you can get off at Donam Seowon in front of Gyeongcheon Island. It was easy to get there by bus and really easy to find. The weather was nice and the location was nice, so there were a lot of people riding bicycles. In these days when the weather is nice and flowers are blooming, I recommend a park picnic using public transportation! #Gyeongcheon Island #Sangju

I went on a trip to Sangju, Gyeongbuk with my mother. When you think of Sangju, Gyeongbuk, what comes to mind?ㅎㅎ It's a place famous for silk threads pulled from silkworm cocoonsㅎㅎ The process by which the masters make silk fabrics and scarves with the threads one by one is truly amazing. I used to think of it as just an expensive scarf or expensive clothes, but when I learned that it takes a lot of time and effort to make it, I couldn't help but wonder if I could even value the effort. It's a perfect place to go for field experience learning with children, and it seems like a good place to go on a family trip. #TheBest #HotPlace #Gyeongsangbuk-do #Sangju #SilkThread #HeosiSilk #FamilyTravel #ExperientialLearning #UniqueExperience

I visited my grandmother's house in Sangju during the Lunar New Year and there were a lot of #new cafes, so I visited the most famous #Myeongju Garden! Like the cafes that are opening these days, it was a #large cafe, and there were a lot of people and it was pretty ˙ᵕ˙ The menu I want to recommend is #Myeongju Latte! It was sweet, soft, and really delicious ᴗ̈ #It's a cafe where you can bring your dog, but only outdoor tables are available☺️ There are a lot of outdoor tables, and it's so nice to sit outside and enjoy the warm sunlightㅠ🤍 If you go to the back garden, there's a small #prop shop, so it's nice to look around! If you go to Sangju, I recommend visiting!👍 #Cafe #NewCafe #LargeCafe #Sangju #HotPlace #CafeRecommendation #RestaurantExploration

The cafe turned out to be much larger than I expected, and since it's also famous as a wedding venue, there were countless beautiful spots to enjoy. It's been quite a while since I visited Sangju, and I regret that I could only stop by one cafe due to time constraints. However, this place had so many areas to explore that I felt completely satisfied. Highly recommend this spot to anyone traveling to Sangju! 💜 📍Myeongju Garden 7 Saejaemi-gil, Hamchang-eup, Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Cafe Myeongju Garden

#EmotionalCafe#SangjuCafe If you go now, it's an emotional cafe with really pretty green gardens. I didn't know there was such a big and nice cafe in Sangju. It's been a while since I've been to Sangju, and it was a day that I finished my trip with a good feeling. I heard that it's also used as a wedding venue, so there were many emotional spaces everywhere, and especially, as the name of the cafe suggests, it's also used as a complex cultural space related to Myeongju, so there were a lot of things to see. I recommend it💚 - - 📍Myeongju Garden 7 Saejami-gil, Hamchang-eup, Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do Cafe Myeongju Garden

During the rose season, the Angela roses must have been stunning. The roses in full bloom near the parking lot were breathtaking, but even now, the lush green garden alone is beautiful enough to enjoy. Highly recommended for those planning a trip to Sangju. The interior features quite a few unique spaces, including a cave-like ambiance that adds a touch of sentimentality. With numerous photo spots, this is a must-visit for cafe tour enthusiasts. 💚 📍Myeongju Garden 7, Saejaemi-gil, Hamchang-eup, Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Cafe Myeongju Garden

#summervacay Sokri Mountain (aka Songnisan) National Park is such a vibe if you're into scenic hikes, chill forests, and random ancient temples popping up mid-trail. The place is massive, with tons of different paths, so you can totally pick your own adventure, easy stroll or full-day leg burner. Either way, you're surrounded by these tall, dramatic rock cliffs and super peaceful pine trees that smell amazing. The trail leading up to Beopjusa Temple is a must, it’s wide and easy, with little shops and snack stops along the way. The temple itself is legit beautiful, with this giant golden Buddha that kind of takes your breath away. But if you keep hiking past the temple, that’s where the magic kicks in. The higher you go, the better the views get, think layered mountain ranges and deep green valleys. It’s one of those places where the climb is totally worth it, especially when the weather’s good. Bring water, wear good shoes, and maybe treat yourself to ice cream after.

This is the Sangju Insect Ecology Exhibition Hall in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Changes in the environment, such as the disintegration and formation of the supercontinent, rapid increases in oxygen concentration, and climate change, directly affect the activities and evolution of living things. A large amount of nutrients flowed into the ocean, and the active photosynthetic activity of plants led to the change to the world of multicellular metazoans during the Second Oxygen Revolution. After the appearance of Ediacaran fossils 570 million years ago, trace fossils were discovered 555 million years ago, and about 520 million years ago, life became extremely diverse. Cyanobacteria created oxygen through photosynthesis, thereby changing the Earth into an environment where life could live. Oxygen filled the Earth, and some of it rose to the top of the Earth's atmosphere to form the ozone layer. Since the ozone layer blocks ultraviolet rays from the sun, creatures living in the ocean were able to come up to land and live. Complete metamorphosis Metamorphosis is the process in which insects grow, from larvae to adults. Insects that undergo complete metamorphosis go through a pupa stage and become adult insects. Examples include butterflies, flies, and mosquitoes. Incomplete metamorphosis Incomplete metamorphosis is when larvae become adult insects without going through a pupa stage. Insects that undergo incomplete metamorphosis include dragonflies, cicadas, mayflies, and grasshoppers. Edible insect industry Among the various insect industries, the edible insect industry is the most notable. In Korea, grasshoppers, silkworm pupae, white-spotted crickets, brown mealybugs, double-headed crickets, white-spotted flower chafers, and longicorn beetles have been officially registered as edible insect food ingredients by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. In order to reduce the biggest problems with edible insects, such as aversion and disgust, we are making various efforts, such as holding insect cooking contests. In the midst of rising animal protein prices, food security, and environmental pollution issues, insects are gaining attention as a major future food source. #Domestic travel #Travel plans #February travel subsidy event

This is the Sangju City Cooperative History and Culture Hall in Gyeongsangbuk-do. In order to improve the lives of farmers who were impoverished during the Japanese colonial period, the cooperative movement of intellectuals studying abroad in Japan was promoted, and finally, the first private cooperative in South Korea was established in the Hamchang region. After Japan made Joseon its colony, it exploited and plundered Joseon's rural areas in order to solve its chronic rice shortage. From the beginning of its colonial rule, Japan carried out land survey projects and implemented a rice production increase plan in the 1920s. All of these policies were aimed at solving Japan's rice shortage. The land survey project and rice production increase plan implemented during this period turned 80% of farmers into tenant farmers, and landlords transferred various burdens such as irrigation association fees and fertilizer costs to tenant farmers, and extorted 70-80% of the rent. Landlords' tenant management was also strengthened, and they thoroughly controlled everything from the instructions for varieties to cultivation techniques, fertilizer types, and agricultural tools used and harvest times. The Japanese threatened the livelihood of tenant farmers by denying hereditary farming rights and shortening the tenancy period to one year. In addition to the rent, they were forced to bear various burdens such as labor service and funeral expenses, making tenant farmers subordinate to the landlords. These poor tenant farming conditions were the cause of the intense tenant disputes. The peasant movement during the Japanese colonial period also had the character of a political independence movement against the colonial system. In order to protect and secure the rights of tenant farmers, tenant farmers organized tenant organizations such as the Tenant Association, Tenant Mutual Aid Association, and Farmers’ Mutual Aid Association. Tenant disputes sometimes occurred spontaneously, but the leadership and assistance of the Joseon Labor Mutual Aid Association (1920) and Joseon Labor Union (1924) had a major impact. The first tenant dispute began on November 13, 1919, when about 1,500 tenant farmers from Heukgyo Farm in Hwanghae Province protested against high rents. The tenant disputes in the first half of the 1920s were led by tenant groups, and their goals were to fight against miscellaneous burdens and rent reductions. From 1923 onwards, most of the struggles were against the deprivation of tenant rights. This was because the government used the deprivation of tenant rights as a weapon to demand high rents or suppress tenant farmers’ complaints about rent reductions. The tenant farmers’ struggles appeared as the disobedience of tenant land, the non-payment of rent, and the starvation alliance, and then expanded into violent struggles. The social economy includes various cooperatives such as social enterprises, village enterprises, self-supporting enterprises, cooperatives, agricultural cooperatives, and fisheries cooperatives. Social economy enterprises refer to those that solve problems that the market economy cannot solve through business in a democratic manner (providing jobs and social services for the vulnerable, expanding community-based economic entities, etc.). Voluntary and open membership composition Cooperatives are voluntary organizations, open to all who can use the services of the cooperative and are willing to fulfill their responsibilities as members, without gender, social, racial, political, or religious discrimination. Democratic management by members Cooperatives are democratic organizations managed by members, and members actively participate in policy making and decision-making. Elected executives must serve and be accountable to members. In unit cooperatives, each member has equal voting rights (one person, one vote), and cooperatives at the federation level are also organized and operated in a democratic manner. Management participation of members The raised capital is democratically controlled. Generally, a portion of the capital is the common property of the cooperative. In the case of dividends, members receive limited dividends according to the amount of their investment. Members distribute surpluses according to their purposes. Autonomy and Independence Cooperatives are autonomous self-help organizations managed by their members. When cooperatives enter into agreements with other organizations, such as governments, or seek external capital, they must ensure democratic control by their members and maintain the autonomy of the cooperative. Education, training and information for members Cooperatives provide education and training for their members, elected officials, managers and staff to enable them to contribute effectively to the development of their cooperative. Cooperatives inform the general public, especially the younger generation and opinion leaders, about the nature and benefits of cooperation. Cooperation among cooperatives Cooperatives strengthen the cooperative movement and serve their members most effectively by working together locally, nationally, regionally and internationally. Contribution to the community Cooperatives strive for the sustainable development of the communities in which they operate through policies agreed upon by their members. #Domestic travel #Travel plan #February travel subsidy event

This is the Hamchang Silk Museum in Sangju, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Characteristics of Hamchang Silk Hamchang silk, a natural fiber extracted from silkworm cocoons, is produced in a traditional way, using various types of silk passed down from generation to generation. Since the silk threads are soft and moist, the weft and warp threads are tightly woven together, and the silk fabric produced in Hamchang is born as a more dense and soft luxury Hamchang silk. Hamchang silk, which is incomparable to general silk with loose structures produced in mass quantities, has a firm texture, excellent soft touch, and is easy to sew, making it a representative silk of Korea that reproduces the characteristics of traditional silk. Goryeo Dynasty During the Goryeo Dynasty, many excellent fabrics were produced by inheriting the traditions of Unified Silla and introducing and integrating new production techniques through frequent exchanges with foreign countries. In the Samdobu written by Choi Ja, it is said that the pillars of the Goryeo Gonggyeong's residence were wrapped in silk and the ground was laid with a saddle, giving us a glimpse into the splendid lifestyle of the upper class. During the Goryeo Dynasty, crops were produced in various places in the form of government-run handicrafts, private handicrafts, rural household handicrafts, and temple handicrafts. Government-run factories established Sangui-guk and Hyeongjeong-guk, and under them were placed Geumjang, Rajang, Neungjang, and Gyeonjang, and various high-quality crops were produced to be used as clothing for the royal palace and nobles, and as trade goods with foreign countries. Textile relics from the Goryeo Dynasty are found in shrines inside pagodas or Buddhist statues rather than excavated from tombs, and most are found in Buddhist statues. Judging from the fact that these were offered to the brothers-in-law of the Buddha statues when they were created or re-gilded, they are valuable materials for understanding the culture of Goryeo Dynasty treasures due to their good color and state of preservation. Joseon Dynasty From the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty, the state implemented a policy of promoting silkworm farming. In the 4th year of King Sejo's reign, the Jamseo Commentary was compiled, and subsequent kings including King Seongjong emphasized the policy of promoting silkworm farming and holding funeral ceremonies for the queen as important policies for national industry. During the Joseon Dynasty, the middle class of treasured goods became more specialized, and various types of silk fabrics are recorded in the literature. During the reign of King Yeonsangun, the production of silk fabrics became so active that it was said that people should weave and wear sa, la, nong, and dan in sashimi. During the mid-Joseon Dynasty, as the country's economy was devastated due to the Imjin War and Byeongji War, the government prohibited the production of patterned silk fabrics in order to prohibit extravagance. In the late Joseon Dynasty, the production of patterned silk fabrics decreased, and the production of elegant silk fabrics that suited the Korean sensibility became popular, and each region produced various types of silk fabrics with unique characteristics. #Domestic travel #Travel plans #February travel subsidy event

This is the Hanbok Promotion Center in Sangju, Gyeongsangbuk-do. The clothing that was designed to show the authority of the king was colorful, splendid, and luxurious. It was not simply for beauty, but to be formal for ceremonies and court events. The king's clothing had a large chest, wide sleeves, and many decorations and patterns. Through these, the king deified himself and showed his status as a ruler. The types of royal clothing varied depending on the situation, but the most representative ones are the Ikseong Gwanbok and Myeonbok. The representative clothing that comes to mind when thinking of the king is the Ikseong Gwanbok, which was most frequently worn for official ceremonies and everyday duties. The Ikseong Gwanbok consists of the Ikseongwan, Gonryongpo, Okti, Beoseon, and Janghwa. The clothing worn during the highest state ceremonies• It is largely composed of the Myeonryugwan and Gonbok. The highest court robe that can only be worn by the ruler or those who have been granted the right to succeed to the ruling power. The queen's ceremonial attire was made and worn according to strictly defined rules, from shoes to hats and hair ornaments. It was a representative example of the highest-ranking women's clothing in the Joseon Dynasty, symbolizing status and authority. The jeok-ui, the royal ceremonial attire of the queen and crown princess, is a robe embroidered with pheasant patterns. The pheasant patterns decorated on the jeok-ui symbolize intimacy and good fortune, and the five colors of blue, white, red, black, and yellow used in the pheasant patterns each mean humanity, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and trust, which express the virtues that the queen should possess. The ceremonial attire worn during large and small state ceremonies is characterized by a shorter front hem than the back hem, wide sleeves, and open sides. The won-sam had different colors and patterns depending on the status: the empress wore a yellow won-sam, the queen a red won-sam, the crown princess a purple won-sam, and the princess and princess a green won-sam. Official attire Refers to the clothes worn by court officials in the court. It is divided into the everyday office uniform, the official uniform worn when attending court, the court uniform worn when there are major or minor national events, and the military uniform (yeongbok). 'Sangbok' is a ceremonial uniform worn to mourn the deceased during a funeral. 'Sangbok' means that the sorrow of sending off the deceased does not distinguish between social status, so the funeral and its ceremonial uniform did not have a large distinction between social status. 'The clothes worn during ancestral rites' are all called jebok (jeryebok). Officials wore jeongbok and bokdu. Non-officials wore dopo and yugeon as jeryebok. Wedding: A ceremony of vows to meet the spouse and promise each other lifelong love. Birth rites: 5 stages: Gija-beon-sa-san-gwan-ho-samchil-il-baek-il-doljanchi. Wishing for the birth and health of the child. A custom celebrating adulthood: A ceremony to grant social status and qualifications as an adult when a certain age is reached. Celebrating a long and healthy life. A 60th birthday party is a great celebration for the elderly who have enjoyed a long life and are blessed with many blessings. #Domestic travel #Travel plans #February travel subsidy event

This is the National Nakdong River Biological Resource Center in Sangju, Gyeongsangbuk-do. A species usually refers to a group of organisms that leave offspring through mating in a natural state. There are also organisms that are classified by their appearance or similar genetic characteristics. The number and characteristics of a group of organisms classified by species are called 'species diversity. Species diversity increases when new species are created through speciation, a process of evolution, or species diversity decreases due to extinction, when all of a specific species disappears due to various factors. The number of species on Earth is estimated to be over 100 million, and only about 1.9 million species have been discovered so far, so there are many more species that we do not know about. However, the number of species going extinct since industrialization has been increasing very rapidly, and efforts to preserve biodiversity are urgently needed. Biodiversity refers to the diversity of organisms living in a certain area and their habitats. There are various ecosystems on Earth, such as jungles, grasslands, tidal flats, deserts, oceans, and rivers. In each ecosystem, various organisms adapt to the environment and live. Even the same species have different genetic characteristics, so they can adapt to the environment and leave behind offspring. In other words, in order to understand and preserve the biodiversity of the entire Earth, we must understand diversity in terms of ecosystems, species, and genes. All organisms are made up of cells. Therefore, organisms carry out life activities through all the cells that make up their bodies. Genes contain genetic information that creates and maintains cells, and are passed on to offspring through reproduction. Offspring exhibit different genetic characteristics from their parents by combining the genes of their parents. Genetic diversity refers to the diversity of genetic characteristics within the same species or population. Usually, the larger the population, the higher the genetic diversity because individuals with various genes are included. In the case of species with high genetic diversity, individuals with genes that can adapt well to environmental changes such as diseases or climate change survive and leave behind offspring, so they can avoid extinction. The Korean Peninsula is located in the eastern mid-latitude of the Eurasian continent in the northern hemisphere, and stretches long from north to south, with 64% of its total area being mountainous. The main rivers of the Korean Peninsula, which originate in the subalpine zone in the north and east, flow into the sea along the low mountains and plains in the west and south and the steep slopes in the east. The Korean Peninsula belongs to the temperate climate zone, but due to the geographical characteristics of the Shinji and Samyeon areas connecting Baekdusan and Jirisan, which are formed by the sea, various climate zones such as the warm temperate zone and the subarctic zone appear. Caves are classified into lava caves, limestone caves, and sea caves depending on the cause of their formation. Most caves in the Korean Peninsula are limestone caves formed by the dissolution of limestone in groundwater. The temperature inside the caves is maintained at a constant 14~16°C and humidity of 70~90% throughout the year. Since there is no light, plants cannot survive, and herbivores and large animals have difficulty living there due to the lack of oxygen and food. There are more than 4,200 islands on the Korean Peninsula, of which about 3,719 are uninhabited and more than 60% are in Jeollanam-do. In the case of islands far from the mainland, the proportion of endemic species is high due to the development of unique terrain and climate. Ulleungdo and Jeju Island have the highest proportion of endemic species on the Korean Peninsula, while the island regions of the South Sea are relatively close to the mainland and are very similar to the biota of the mainland. Recently, due to climate change such as global warming, insects and birds that can be seen in the subtropics are frequently observed in the island regions of the South Sea. Endangered wild species refer to species whose population has decreased significantly or are at risk of extinction in the future due to environmental pollution or indiscriminate development. The government enacted the 'Wildlife Protection and Management Act' and, as of 2017, has actively protected 267 species (176 animals, 88 plants, 2 birds, and 1 fungus) by designating them as endangered wild species | or |I. Endangered wild species | Level 1 is a species that is almost extinct due to a decrease in population, and Level 1 is a species that is declining in population and will become extinct in the near future if the threat factor does not disappear or decrease. Wetlands are areas that are always or occasionally covered with water, and it is known that there are about 2,000 of them on the Korean Peninsula. Depending on the location or formation process of the wetlands, they are largely divided into inland wetlands and coastal wetlands. There are also artificial wetlands such as rice paddies and reservoirs created for human needs such as agriculture. Korea has joined the Ramsar Convention and is designating and managing wetland protection areas. #Domestic travel #Travel plans #February travel subsidy event

This is the Sangju Museum in Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Sangju is located in the northwestern part of Gyeongsangbuk-do, bordering Mungyeong and Yecheon to the north, Goesan in Chungcheongbuk-do across the Sobaeksan Mountains to the northwest, Gimcheon to the south, and Yecheon to the east. To the northwest, Baekdudaegan Mountain Range surrounds like a folding screen, and the water stream that starts from Sokri Mountain is divided into three rivers: Geumgang River, Namhangang River, and Nakdonggang River. To the west, there are continuous high mountains, and to the east, basins and lowlands formed by the Nakdonggang River have developed, forming a Seogodongjeo type. Sangju is a land and water transportation node with a plain created by the Nakdonggang River to the east and major transportation routes leading to the ridges of the Sobaeksan Mountains to the north and west. The wide alluvial plains formed when tributaries of the Nakdonggang River come together to form a large river have been the foundation for the development of agriculture since early on. Also, northern civilizations that entered through the major transportation routes of the Sobaek Mountains, Jolling and Gyeripryeong, spread through Sangju and through the water system to the entire Yeongnam region. Based on the natural environment that was blessed by nature, the culture that actively sprouted since the prehistoric era flourished over time and blossomed during the Joseon Dynasty. Blooming Buddhist Culture Sangju's Buddhist culture developed early on. There are 14 traditional temples, including Namjangsa, founded by Jingam Guksa in 830 (the 5th year of King Heungdeok's reign), Bukjangsa, Gapjangsa, and Seungjangsa (only the temple remains today), which are the 'Sangju Four Temples'. As it is the birthplace of Beompae, the first Buddhist music in Korea, relics that boast the excellence of Buddhist culture are passed down throughout the region. The three-story stone pagoda is representative of the gilt-bronze seated bodhisattva statue excavated from Gongseong-myeon, Sangju from the 8th to 9th centuries, and the stone Buddha statue in Jeungchon-ri, which were built after the Unified Silla period. The heyday of local government during the Joseon Dynasty In 1413 (the 13th year of King Taejong’s reign), the local administrative system was established by dividing the country into eight provinces (Gyeonggi, Chungcheong, Jeolla, Gyeongsang, Gangwon, Hwanghae, Hamgyeong, and Pyeongan), and the local government organization, the Gunhyeon system, was reorganized. The Sokhyeon and Hyangso Bugok were governed by magistrates appointed by the king. Sangju Mok was the headquarters of the Gyeongsang governor and the center of Yeongnam, serving as a base for governing some of the Gunhyeon in Gyeongsangnam-do, three Bugok, and Sokhyeon. The Hyangcheong, consisting of magistrates, hyangni who assisted him, and local aristocrats, played a major role in governing the Gunhyeon. Sangju was an important strategic point on the Yeongnam highway, and road transportation developed. Stations such as Yugok Station and Nakdong Station were highlighted during the Joseon Dynasty when they connected the Nakdong River and Gangchang. The Gyeongsang-do Doseonsaeng-an and Sangju-mok Mokseonsaeng-an aimed to improve the efficiency of local governance, and through “Yeonjo Gwigam,” which contains the lives of Sangju Hyangni, we can get a glimpse of the local governance of the time. When the Imjin War broke out, Sangju’s volunteer army, consisting of Changui-gun, Chungbo-gun, and Sangui-gun, rose up and began to fight against the Japanese army. They attacked the Japanese army stationed everywhere and threw them into confusion. The volunteer army was formed around local noblemen and Confucian scholars. They made their own slaves and tenant farmers take up arms, and organized the volunteer army by persuading scattered farmers and soldiers who had deserted from the ranks. Eumseong is a castle built to protect the town. Rather than a simple structure, it is a space where the lives and joys and sorrows of our ancestors who settled there for a long time are embedded. It served as a focal point for the region, with government offices, schools, private houses, markets, and other places of life inside. It is said that the castle was first built in the Hongmu Eulchuk (Gyeongsang-do Geography) with a circumference of 1.109 in Sabal.

This is the Sangju Agricultural Culture Center in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Sangju is a large city in Gyeongsang-do. There are many mountains connecting Baekdudaegan to the northwest, and fertile plains with the Nakdong River flowing to the east. The entire area is surrounded by mountains, forming a basin with a large daily temperature range and no major disasters. It has great natural conditions for the development of agriculture due to the large rivers along it, and has been known as the best granary in Yeongnam since ancient times. The Nakdong River originated from the old name of Sangju, Nakyang. It was called the Nakdong River because it formed a large river to the east of Nakyang. The large river provides a good environment for people to live together, such as water for daily use, and is also the foundation of all industries, including agricultural water. The Nakdong River makes Sangju's fields fertile, and the people of Sangju draw water from the Nakdong River to farm. The main rivers in Sangju that flow into the Nakdong River are Byeongseongcheon, Iancheon, and Jangcheon. These rivers originate in the south and west of the city and flow east, merging with the Nakdong River. Gonggeomji allows us to glimpse the wisdom of the Sangju people who efficiently utilized civil engineering technology by minimizing artificial pond dams and maximizing the size of freshwater. In the Gyeongsangdo Sokchan Jiriji, it is recorded that the area of ​​Gonggwonje (Gonggeomji) was 268 gyeol 40 bu (2,550,000 ml), and other reservoirs at the time were recorded to have supplied water to an average of 26 gyeol of rice paddies, so the size is comparable. People perform rites at every stage from birth to death. Koreans considered the rites of passage, wedding, funeral, ancestral rite, and rite as important rites throughout their lives. In addition, birth rites (baekil, dol) to pray for the health and longevity of babies, and the hwaggaprye, a feast to celebrate 60 years of longevity, were also important life rites. The custom gradually disappeared after the hair-cutting order, the meaning of the 60th birthday ceremony faded as we entered an aging society, and the ancestral rites were simplified for religious reasons or as society changed to a nuclear family. Nevertheless, weddings and funerals are still important rites. Through artifacts related to various rites performed in community units, we can read the thoughts and lives of the Sangju people. During the Joseon Dynasty, the roles and status of men and women were strictly divided due to the influence of the national governing ideology, Neo-Confucianism. Therefore, even within a household, the living spaces of men and women were separated, and a sarangbang (a room for men) was prepared separately from the main room. In particular, for scholars, the sarangbang had a special meaning beyond a living space. Scholars constantly cultivated their studies based on the ideology and morality of Confucianism, and at the same time, they considered poetry, calligraphy, and painting as essential knowledge and did not neglect them. Therefore, the sarangbang of the Joseon Dynasty became a study room where they cultivated their studies and a space for artistic activities. The sarangbang was a space that showed the owner’s taste and status. Scholars considered the splendor of wealth and honor vulgar, and decorated the Sarangbang with a simple yet neat style. The agriculture of Sangju during the Joseon Dynasty is the root of its reputation as the home of Sambaek today. Sambaek originally meant rice, cotton, and silkworm cocoons, but today dried persimmons are used instead of cotton. Sangju has maintained a tradition of rice farming since the Three Kingdoms Period, and it was a good land for growing cotton. Mulberry trees are widely known as a local specialty. In Sangju, the sericulture industry developed greatly during the late Joseon Dynasty and the Japanese colonial period. Since then, it has gained a reputation as the home of silk, representing Korea. Mulberry trees are recorded as a specialty in the 『Sejong Sillok Jiriji』, and the mulberry trees in Dugok-ri, Sangju, designated as Gyeongsangbuk-do Monument No. 1, speak of the long tradition of sericulture. The sericulture industry, which involves planting mulberry trees to raise silkworms and spinning silk to make clothes, is as old and important an industry as agriculture. The first record of Sangju dried persimmons appears in (Yejongsillok). In the “Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungram,” persimmons are recorded as a specialty of Sangju. The raw material for dried persimmons is the bitter persimmon called “Sangju Dongsi.” The land where persimmons grow well, combined with the climate with a large daily temperature range, produces dried persimmons that are delicious enough to be presented to the king. Dried persimmons are a subject of oral literature widely passed down across the country and are also the history of agricultural technology and agricultural processing in our country. Every year from October to December, many people gather at dried persimmon drying yard to make dried persimmons together, continuing the community culture. Our people have made a living with rice as their staple food. Rice farming, which can be said to be the foundation of rice production, requires both technical skills and a lot of labor. Reservoirs that store and manage water were the most important facilities in rice farming. #Domestic travel #Travel plans #February travel subsidy event
