Festivals Information
Seo-gu, Mandri Pungnyeonje
Seochang filled with the song of good harvest
Mandri was sung when farmers planted rice in early June, and rooted out weeds three times in June and July. This festival was designed to console hard-working servants and enhance the harmony between village people. The performance is progressed as follows: the lead singer holding a flag of 'Nong-ja-cheon-ha-ji-dae-bon' sings first to the beat of Nongak, followed by a refrain of the second singer to pray for good harvest. Servants return home, beating gongs riding on bulls after they finish field work. In village. a variety of exciting performances and shows such as Pungmulnori and Pansori are provided. According to the Mandri Reproduction Committee(director: Kim Duk-soo), our traditional farming culture that was commonly found 20 years ago is disappearing. And it said that the valuable rhythm of Mandri should be restored. Dept. of General Affairs, Seo-gu
