강릉 단오제 동영상 6: Night

Posted by 비회원 강릉 : 2007/06/24 15:11



Because the weather was nice for the most part during this year's Dano Festival, many people stayed long into the night to enjoy the concerts and other performances. With some background music and slow-motion effect, even Gangneung looks like a wonderful little city.

This is the last of the Dano videos. In retrospect, it's amazing that a city the size of Gangneung can have any festival for seven straight days. Dano is undoubtedly the biggest and most important event in the life of this city. These videos only begin to show the variety and dynamism of the Dano Festival. The next time around, perhaps with the help of some students, maybe we can capture the enduring historical spirit that has made Dano a thousand-year old tradition.

강릉 단오제 동영상 5: Concert

Like other modern-day folk festivals, Dano is a mix of old and new. There's 종묘제례악 on one stage, which I regret not seeing, and B-boys on another. In the previous video interview, Prof. Hwang mentions how the festival is trying to attract the younger, modern generation. The "non-traditional" concert above was one of many on the night of June 22.


Professor 황루시 of the Korean Department is an expert on all things Dano. She has spent years researching and collecting historical materials and documenting Korean folk traditions. Prof. Hwang was nice enough to agree to an interview on a hot and muggy afternoon of June 20. In the 10-minute interview, she talks about the history of Dano and the special meaning it has, especially for the residents of Gangneung City. (The background noise is coming from the geut tent behind her.)
 
Special thanks goes to Prof. 김옥엽 for arranging the interview.

강릉 단오제 동영상 3: Tradition

The week-long Dano Festival is not just for watching performances. There are many activities visitors can participate in and experience firsthand, such as riding the giant swing or getting your hair washed with special water. Dano would be meaningless without these folk traditions. And, of course, wherever you go, there's the ceaseless ear-popping kkangari. (Music from 관노가면극.)

There are so many performances during the Dano Festival, it's hard to see them all. And there's quite a variety - from the Cambodian shadow-play to the raucous song and dance of the yut sellers (who probably are not UNESCO-approved, seeing as they get a dirty parking lot at the festival fringes for a stage).

In addition to the traditional performances, the market is a big part of Dano Festival (단오제). There are a lot of eateries and shops that line the local river. There are even amusement rides and a small circus tent. It's loud, crowded and carnivalesque. (The cabaret music in the background and the encore are performed by Gwangwon Police College.)

강릉 사진: 허난설헌 & 허균 Birthplace & Museum

Posted by 비회원 강릉 : 2007/06/20 02:20
Before it starts raining, I thought I'd take advantage of the fine weather and take some pictures.

The first set of pictures is of Heonanseolheon's birthplace (허난설헌 생가) in Chodang-dong. I don't know much about Heonanseolheon, other than that she was a Chosun dynasty poet who lived from 1563 to 1589. The house itself is small compared to birthplaces of emperors and other famous people, but I think that's part of the attraction - one can imagine people actually having lived there. And like many traditional Korean architecture, it's built like a squarish maze with connecting doorways leading to separate quarters. The best part of the whole place is perhaps the forest behind the house, which has some of the tallest pine trees I've seen in Gangneung. On most days it's quiet and peaceful there, probably because they haven't turned it into a domesticated park. I hope they keep it that way.


Near the house, the city of Gangneung recently finished building a museum in honor of Heonanseolheon and her brother Heogyun (허균), who wrote the Korean Robin Hood story Hong Gil-dong (홍길동). Again, the museum is not very big, but they have some old books that seem like first editions and some grass surrounding the museum, which is always a welcome.
