Andong City Opens Transmission Education Center for Intangible Cultural Property 'Chajeon Nori' at Talchum Park

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Andong City in Gyeongbuk announced on the 23rd that it opened the Andong Chajeonnori (National Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 24) Transmission Education Center in the yard of the Chajeonnori Transmission Education Center within Andong Talchum Park on the 22nd.

Andong Chajeonnori is a traditional game celebrating the victory of a national war with a history and tradition of over 1,100 years. It originated from the war between the Goryeo King Geon army and the Later Baekje Gyeon Hwon army at Byeongsan in Gochang (the old name of Andong) during the Later Three Kingdoms period.

Since being designated as National Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 24 on January 7, 1969, Andong's proud traditional Daedongnori has been performed at many major domestic and international events, receiving high praise.

The existing Andong Chajeonnori Transmission Education Center, built in 2006, had been criticized for its narrow space, which hindered the proper functioning of the education center. Andong City expanded the existing space to two floors and significantly enlarged the promotional video room. Admission is free. The center is closed on public holidays and weekends.

Lee Jae-chun, president of the Andong Chajeonnori Preservation Society, said, "Andong Chajeonnori, the best Daedongnori in our country, deeply embodies the loyalty of local people to the nation," adding, "As much as Andong Chajeonnori has been widely promoted overseas, my dream is to have a harmonious festival where the North and South unite through Chajeonnori at Panmunjom domestically."
