Published programme

The Jeong-eup Cultural Festival is a regional cultural festival held with the theme of the only surviving Baekje song, "Jeong-eup-sa," and the love of the woman of Jeong-eup-sa. "Jeong-eup-sa" is a song that a wife sang to the moon, hoping for the safe return of her husband who had set out on a journey, and its Korean lyrics are recorded in the Joseon Dynasty's "Akhaekgubeom." The festival aims to preserve the historical significance of "Jeong-eup-sa" and to introduce Jeong-eup's unique cultural resources to citizens and visitors. The main traditional events include the "Chaesurye" ceremony, where water is drawn from a well in Jeonghae Village, and the "Yeoninje" ceremony, which honors the spirit of the woman of Jeong-eup-sa. This year's new program is the Baekje Costume Experience, where participants can wear Baekje-era clothing and headwear and take commemorative photos. The festival introduces the legends of "Jeong-eup-sa" and Baekje culture through traditional ceremonies and hands-on activities.
