Goyang City Haengju Festival
The Haengju Daepoje is a traditional rite to honor General Kwon Yul (Do Won-soo), the captain of Haengju Dae-jeo on March 14, 1593. It is observed every year at Chungjangsa Temple, a shrine located in Haengjusanseong Fortress, and was originally a cultural event, but now only traditional rituals have been held.
During the reign of King Heonjong of the Joseon Dynasty, a construction site was built on the Han River under Haengju Fortress, but it was severely damaged by the Korean War.
The memorial service for Chungjang Temple is being held by the mayor of Goyang, the chairman of the Goyang City Council, and the head of the Goyang Cultural Center.
Haengju Daejipje, which lasts for about 40 minutes, is practiced as a traditional rite, a first rite, a phonemic rite, and a mangy rite.
After the traditional ceremony, ordinary people can also make flowers and burn incense one by one.
This year marks the 425th anniversary of the Japanese Invasion of Korea, and many of the members of Andong-gwon (Chairman: Kwon Hae-ok) participated in the event.
