Peasant Dance, Pride of Chongsan Farm

The Chongsan Farm in Kangso District is well-known throughout the country for not only good crops but its fine peasant dance.

The peasant dance of the officials and farmers is an exemplary one in the country.

Its famous peasant dance is attributable to the efforts of officials who took the lead in mass-based cultural and artistic activities and substantially conducted them in various forms and methods.

After a day’s work, the farmers strove to master musical instruments such as gongs, saenaps and Janggus, and to make their peasant dance vividly show great happiness of their native place.

Consequently, they came to vividly describe their worthwhile working life according to seasons and portray in a unique way their endless joy and happiness of living in an honored locality.

An official of the farm proudly said that his village, famous for the masterpiece song "A Bumper Harvest in the Chongsan Plain", became well-known for the peasant dance.

Their peasant dance is an outburst of their joy and optimism flourishing day by day along with the new era of rural rejuvenation.

The peasant dance of Chongsan-ri is widely spread across the country.

Peasant music dances, full of zest, add much sentiment to agricultural workers’ optimistic life.
