Famous places>A Woo Ra Ji The number one intangible cultural asset of Gang Won - Do is JeongSeon Arirang, which is a traditional Korean song from Jeongseon. From olden days until now, the rivers and mountains of the JeongsSeong area have always been so beautiful. A Woo Ra Ji means " a mixing " and refers to mixing of the wathers of two streams. Korean people have the Asian concept at Yin & Yang which is known is Korean as Eum & Yang. The rivers represent the two forces of Yin and Young ( or Eum and Yang ). So it's believed that if the " Yin river has more water than the Yang river " then there wil be a flood that year. However if the Yang river has more water, everything will be fine. A long time ago, logs used to be carried dow the river on rafts. A Woo Ra Ji was the starting point of the journey. There is an old story which was the basis of the Jeong Seon Arirang. One of the men who worked on the logging rafts had a lover who used to wiat for him at the end of the journey. Her sadness which she was waiting was the inspiration for the song. Koreans people wanted to remember her, so in 1987 a sharin was made called CheoNyeo ( Virgin ). It wa remodelled in 1999. Copyright 2004 Jeongseon County All rights Reserved.
