Gwangalli Eobang festival in suyeong -gu Busan

Number of small festivals such as Namcheon-Millak Live Fish Festival, Gwangalli Beach Festival and Namcheon-dong Cherry Blossom Festival were unified in 2001 into a festival of a larger district scale Gwangalli Eobang Festival. As the only festival in Korea based on folk customs of traditional fishing villages, it is a characteristic spring festival of Busan which is held in Gwangalli Beach, Gwangan Bridge, Gwangalli New Media Art Museum, Gwangalli Beach Theme Street and so on
 
"Eobang (漁坊)" had been the cooperative fishermen's union of the Suyeong region where the fishing market was active, so the festival was named as "Gwangalli Eobang Festival" and is held every spring, at the end of April, based on the theme of inheriting the traditional spirit. Enjoy the colorful burst of spring in the place of dream and romance, Gwangalli Beach!

 

Eobang
With rich marine products, Suyeong was the first fishery region in Busan. In the Joseon period, installation of the Gyeongsang Jwasuyeong (The left navy of the Gyeongsang region) in this region had developed fishery much more because food had to be provided to the navy. In the eleventh year of King Hyeonjong, Eobang was installed to give instruction of fishing techniques for the purpose of encouraging and promoting fishery, and that was the Jwasuyeong Eobang (Eobang of the left navy).  Eobang was cooperative unions in fishing villages, which are similar to mutual-aid communities in sea villages of the present.


Eobang encouraged singing songs to relieve people from stress of hard work during a group work and to increase efficiency by letting people work with songs telling of fishermen's feelings. Fishing activities of that time were reorganized to "Jwasuyeong Eobang Nori", which has been preserved and passed on until now as the important intangible cultural asset No. 62. Gwangalli Eobang Festival was therefore named after Eobang (漁坊)' in that  it is to follow the traditional spirit of the Suyeong region.

Artist Kang In Joo ［The Sounds 22th Exhibition］

The energy to the life delivered by energy of nature
The ‘nature’delivered by painter, Kang is similar with his life actually. He, who prepared the place of life and painting work on the patch of beautiful mountain in Nakdong river, speaks the life with perception of vitality and truth through the entire body and transferring into the canvas.

His sight facing the nature is straight and touch is sensitive. The trees standing on the land and the passing wind is just passing through him only. He keeps his sight on the old trees endured throughout the times and the wild flowers bloomed as if stayed in the remote site.

His comment on the artwork in combination of many flower drawings, ‘LOVE’ While I was lying on the slope of sunlight during climbing high mountain in early spring, when I took a look to the side, a small red wild flower said, ‘Why you came so late, I have waited for you so long time in the coldness, why you are so late.’ I created a form on it on the canvas with sorry and admiration.

His working method delivers the meaning of the nature (life) wider and deeper. He uses the knife instead of brush. “I felt the admiration like thrilling from the line of the light splashed on to the bough of trees which was glimpsed during climbing in high mountain, the frost made on the grass in deep winter and the line of the rain dropped on the street lamp. I thought the knife is better to approach to the real nature.”

His knife is more delicate and precise than brush. Unique and natural touch is outstanding. The overlapped matiere radiates the material nature and depth of life. He approaches to the artwork with sharp knife as if arranging the up and down in the life. “Knife was my destiny and the canvas is my love and the knife and canvas are my tears and life.”(From the artist’s note)

The ‘nature’ described by him creates energy changing the things and the human mind as it is netted from the depth of life. He, trod the stubborn independent road with the theme of ‘nature’ delivers the deep taste of the matured emotion brought forth from the long time of endurance.

Chungnyeolsa Shrine in Busan

Chungnyeolsa Shrine in Busan enshrines the spirits of the patriotic forefathers who fell while fighting the Japanese invaders during the 1592 Japanese Invasion.
The beginning of the Chungnyeolsa is as follows : The Songgongsa was built on Nongju mountain to enshrine the Dongnae Magistrate, Song Sang Hyeon, by Magistrate, Yun Hwon in 1605. It became to be hold a memorial service annually to admire Song Sang Hyeon who sacrificed himself for his country in the Japanese Occupation(1910-45).

After then, the name of Songgongsa was changed to the Chungnyeolsa by a proposal of Lee Min Gu in 1624 ( the 2nd year of the reign of King Injo ). The Dongnae Magistrate, Yun Mun Geo insisted that its location was not right because the shrine was too small, damp and noisy. Thus it was moved into its present location in Allak-li. After then a large shrine was built with halls and eastern and western room. It was called Allakseowon. The yearly memorial service was not held permitted during the Japanese Occupation.
The Japanese thought that it encouraged Korean Independence. A memorial hall and Sau(room to enshrine ancestral tablets) were left in disrepair during the Japanese Occupation.


The ancestral tablets of 91persons, who fell in battle in the Busan area, were enshrined. Now a memorial service is held annually on May 25 by the citizens of Busan. Chungryeol Shrine was first built in 1605 (the 38th year of King Seonjo) by Yun Hweon, governor of Dongnaebusa then, to honor Sir Song Sang Hyeon, governor of Dongnaebusa, who died fighting Japanese invaders. The shrine was initially located on the Nongju Mountain near the south gate of Dongnae-eup Mount Fortress and was called Songgongsa Shrine, which kept Sir Song’s spirit tablet. People pay him respect by holding a memorial service every year.
Yi Min Gu, a government official, requested the king to change the name of the shrine, and King Injo granted his request in 1624 (the 2nd year of his rule) and changed Songgongsa to Chungryeolsa Shrine.
In 1652 (the 3rd year of King Hyojong) Yun Mun-geo, governor of Dongnaebusa then, felt the shrine was too small and damp and was too close to the fortress gate, being subject to too much noise. Also, he felt that it was necessary to teach young scholars the scholarship and fealty of Sir Song Sang-hyeon, which would remain exemplary to future generations. Out of these necessities, the shrine was moved to the current location in Anrak-dong. After the shrine was newly built, two additional buildings were built in the east and west for the purpose of holding classes, and the shrine was subsequently renamed Anrakseowon (Anrak School).

But during the Japanese occupation, Japanese rulers felt that the memorial services held in February and August every year as well as the education given at the school fostered the national spirit, and the Japanese interfered with the shrine activities. Over the period of 36 years of Japanese occupation, the shrine building and the sanctuary building in which the spirit tablet was housed were not maintained but fell into disrepair.
During the period of purification from 1976 to 1978 of Japanese influence, the shrine was renovated to the current condition. Ninety two tablets of the forebears who died or who rendered distinguished service to their country during the Japanese invasion in 1592 in Busan are venerated on May 25 by Busan residents in a memorial service.

In 1592, Japanese soldiers attacked the Dongnae-eup Fortress, demanding that Sir Song Sang-hyeong let them pass through, meaning surrender. Sir Song threw a wooden board at the Japanese, on which his statement was inscribed, “It would be easier to die fighting than let you have passage.” and fought till death.

검정쌀 검정콩 녹두 조등 6가지로 만드는 거창까막국수

   

     검정쌀 검정콩 녹두 밀가루로 만드는 거창까막국수!!

     까막국수는 특이한 것이 많은 국수집입니다. 

     까막이라는 이름도 특이하다.  까맣다- 까망 - 까막 

      검은색 색깔의 갱상도 사투리가 까막이다. 

     찾아가기도 힘들어요.

     근처에 사는 사람도 한번 가봐서는 두번째도 헷갈리는 골목이다.

     지하철 2호선 망미역에서는 한참 걸어야되고

     토곡에서 수영가는 도로옆 부산은행 토곡지점을 찾아 200m걸어야 된다.

     승용차로는 코스트코에서 찾아 가는것이 빠른길이다.

     국수도 특화되야 장사가 잘된다고 기발한 아이디어도 다양하다.

     이집, 거창까막국수집도 그런 집이다.

     밀가루 만으로 뽑아낸 국수가 아닙니다.

     유명 국수집에서 사다쓰는 것이 아니라.

     이예 국수뽑는 기계를 설치하여 국수공장을 차려놓고

     연구하고 개발하며 국수 장사를 한다고 해야겠네요.  

     검정쌀,검은콩,등을 밀가루와 조합하여 만들어낸 영양가 많은 국수인가 봅니다. 

                 

      까막 비빔국수입니다.  조금 맵싹하게 비볏습니다.

      아직 추운날씨라 콧등에 땀방울이 송글송글하도록 한입 먹으면, 육수 국물 한모금해야 됩니다.

            

    골목 안이라도 넓직한 주차장이 마음에 들었습니다.   외관은 보기도 건물이 친근감을 주는 그런 집이였습니다. 마당에 주차하고 내리자 마자,국수 건조하는 모습들이  웬지 친근감이 와 닫는 그런 집 이였습니다. 

안내해 주는 좌석에 앉은후 , 주인에게 양해를 구하고 국수공장부터 보게되었습니다.

한쪽방 탁자에 국수재료에 들어가는 원재료를 손님들이 볼수있게 해두었습니다.

             

             까막국수는 밀, 메밀, 녹두, 검은콩 , 조, 검정쌀

                                                   이런 종류가 레시피에 포함되어 국수 뽑는다고 합니다.

            영양가 높은 국수라고 봐야겠지요.

                 

           매일 사용할 국수는 아침에 뽑는다고 합니다. 건조실에서 건조되고 있는 모습입니다.

                     국수 재단, 포장실입니다.

                    이집에서 사용도 하고 , 판매도 한 답니다.

                    한다발에 2,000원이라고 되어있습니다.

요즘 물가가 오르니 간단히 먹어야죠.  날씨가 추우니 따뜻한 온국수를 먹을까하다가 역시 국수는 냉국수가 좋다며   까먹 냉국수 , 옆치기는 까먹 비빔국수를 시켰습니다.

까막 비빔국수는 까막 냉국수보다 500원 더 비쌉니다. 아마 고추장과 채소가 더 들어가서 그런가 봅니다. 

          까막 비빔국수를 보싶시요 ?

          채소위에 김까지 얹어 줍니다. 푸짐한 채소가 아삭아삭 씹히는 맛이 상큼했어 좋답니다.

        

    

         비빔국수는 맵싹해야 된다며 벌겋게 비벼먹고 있습니다.

        상추,양배추,김이 양념장과 어우러져 묘한 색감을 만들어 내고 있네요.

        저는 콧등에 땀방울 송글송글 하는것 좋아하지 않아 물국수를 시켰답니다. 

     거창 까막 냉국수는옆사람이 시킨것입니다.   분명 국수이지만 색상이 까맣습니다. 밀가루에 검은콩,검은쌀등 검은색이 들어가고 메밀도 조금 들어갔으니  메밀국수도 아니요, 일반국수도 아닌 독특한 국수입니다.    냉면 마냥 쫄깃하고 찰진 면발이 좋았습니다.그리고  날씨가 조금 더워지면 아주아주 좋겠습니다. 

      국수는 한 젖가락  푹 찝어서 한입으로 쏙넣고 우물우물하면서 먹어야 제 맛입니다. 

      일반국수보다 쫄깃쫄깃하여 좀더 맛 있었습니다.                                 

      

  찾아가기 힘든 골목에 자리 잡고 있어도   맛이 특별하여 맛집으로의 조건을 갖추고 있으니 손님들은 어러운 길도 찾아 오는 집인것 같습니다.   맛집의 비결은 맛을 연구개발하고, 손님을 늘 귀하게 여길때 이루어지는 것이라 믿습니다.

Beomeosa Temple of Mt. Geumjeongsan

Beomeosa Temple is located at the edge of Mt. Geumjeongsan, a famous mountain in Busan. About 1,300 years ago it was constructed by monk Ui Sang in the 18th year (678) of King Munmu (reign 661~681) of the Silla Kingdom (the kingdom mainly occupied the Gyeongsang-do Province region in 678A.D.). In the geography book 'Donggukyeojiseungram' the origin of Beomeosa Temple is written as follows: "There is a well on the top of Mt. Geumjeongsan and the water of that well is gold. The golden fish in the well rode the colorful clouds and came down from the sky.



This is why the mountain is named Geumsaem (gold well) and the temple is named 'fish from heaven'." The original Beomeosa Temple building was lost during Imjinwaeran Invasion (Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592) but was renovated in 1713, which remains as it now is. Daeungjeon is one of the most delicate and luxurious architectures of the Joseon Dynasty (1392~1910). There is Iljumun, the three-story pagoda with four pillars, built in the 9th century, and seven royal palace wings, pavilions, three gates, and eleven hermitages. Designated as a natural monument, the wisteria woods and valleys are most beautiful in May.
