Study of Tongjindurenolee s ued the Methodology

GimPotongjindurenolee which is formed on the basis of community life, raises the local spirit of awareness. It has become a play which expresses the sorrow of labor to joyfulness. Therefore, even in the play format, we can find traces of the agricultural movement within the labor dance. The characters Sori and Jang Dan still exist as characters of communal living in unity.To protect and keep the intangible cultural heritage, most of the cities and providences in Korea try to allow for the next generation to succeed traditional culture. Therefore, the designated culture holder teaches his/her talents and skills for others to carry on, but the funds are not enough to support the transmission of cultural heritages. This is, in fact, a most difficult situation.　However, even though Tongjin Dure plays in such a harsh environment, the area is now proud of it as it brings cultural tourism and cultural resources of the region in the industrial era. Folk art was recognized as a worthy cultural resource at the time. Therefore, Tongjin Dure’s mix of plays and sceneries is in the progressive form of performances in the play and is centered on the functional aspect of art that needs to be more complementary.
