Place Introduction
Seongri Village, Ayeong-myeon, Namwon-si, is the background of Heungbujeon, one of the five pansori yards. This place was found to be a foot welfare site where Heungbu settled down and became rich based on the folktales and geographical names handed down. Chunbo Seolhwa, a Bokdeokga, has been handed down to this village for a long time. Heungbu and Chunbo Seolhwa are similar in that they are about the life journey of becoming rich after poverty, and the love of Seondeok. In fact, there is a tomb believed to be the tomb of Park Chun-bo in Seongri Village. Every year on the fifteenth of lunar January, the Mangjedan has held a Chunbo Mangje Festival in honor of Heungbu. In Seong-ri, the place names that appear in Heungbujeon remain throughout the village. Geographical names such as Heo Jae-jae, Godunteo, Saegeum Corner, and White Muk Baemi are those that appeared in classics. Heo Jae-gi, where potato farming is now in full swing on both sides of the road, is said to be a pass that the villagers helped Heungbu, who collapsed from hunger. Godunteo is a famous place that a high priest caught for Heungbu, who is suffering from poverty, and Heungbu is the site of a Balbok house that healed swallows here.
In fact, the name "Gordun" means that it is the place where houses (warehouses) gather, that is, the place where they become rich. This place is located high on the ridge of Jijijae Pass, which passes to Beonam-myeon, Jangsu-gun, and you can see the foot of the village and the neighboring rice paddies at a glance. The "Sageum Corner" is a place where gold collectors collected gold, and it is presumed that Heungbu picked up gold here and became rich. On the other hand, it is said that the place called "White Porridge Baemi" was given to the benefactors in return after Heungbu became a rich farmer. Heungbu's wife was named "White Porridge" because her neighbors survived from eating white porridge. Nodimakgeori is believed to be a stream where Nolbu crossed the plantation after hearing that Heungbu became rich. It is now covered with concrete, but silver grass is growing thickly by the stream. Walking around here and there, it is worth looking back on the friendship between brothers, wealth and poverty, and the spirit of humility and sharing that did not forget the neighbors who were together in difficult times even after success.
