Introduction |
|
Located at the foot of Mt. Halla on Jeju Island, Seongeup Folk Village is a small town that holds a vast amount of culture.
Cultural properties in the folk village have been handed down from
generation to generation and include treasures such as residential
houses, Confucian shrines and schools, ancient government offices, stone
statues, large millstones (pulled by horses or ox), fortress ruins, and
stone monuments. Among the cultural gems of the folk village are
intangible cultural assets such as folk plays, native foods, local folk
craftsmanship, and local dialect. Even the trees are an important part
of the area’s heritage. Several zelkova and nettle trees that are
hundreds of years old stand at the center of the village, preserving the
dignified atmosphere of a bygone era.
The Seongeup Folk Village shows the unique culture of Jeju Island: the
black lava rock walls, the straight but curvy alleys to block the wind,
and the stone grandfather statues (Harubang), which have become a prime
feature of the landscape. The local black-haired pigs and tongsi (pigsty
/ restroom) are especially well-known characteristics of Jeju folk
culture. The Jeju black pork is said to be very nutritious.
