Gurye Jansu Nongak refers to farmers’ music that has been handed down in Sinchon Village, Sinwol-ri, Gurye-eup, Gurye-gun. It contains the characteristics of Honam Jwado Nongak (Farmers’ Performance of the Western Jeolla-do). Basically, local farmers’ music is composed of those performed on the following occasions: dangsan jemangut (rite to village guardians), madang bapgi (treading on the courtyard), and pangut (entertainment-oriented performance). As for dangsan jemangut, it is performed at shrines for village guardians in the morning. After the rite is finished, the troupe pays a visit to each house to perform madang bapgi followed by pangut, with all villagers taking part. Members of the local farmers’ music troupe are villagers. The performance became famous in nearby areas, including Suncheon and Namwon. Nongak wichin gyechick and Nongak chuichingye gyejaesujibu, which were drawn up from 1954, are documents concerning the rules of the troupe and its financial status.
