the general view of the ceremonies on that afternoon
Master Ham Peul (ochre robes) and Kang Man-hong (a well-known professor of Korean traditional dances, white
robes) perform an improvisational Daoist White-Crane Dance in front of the Cheon-gung [Heavenly Palace]
Then, senior members of this association cross the bridge to the shrine
a combination Daoist / Neo-Confucian ritual, of their own unique
design, is performed for the spirits of Korea's Founder-Kings
traditional-type ceremonial musicians play ancient ritual-music, off to the side
solo dancers show off their skills after the ceremonies are finished; we all drank rice-wine on the hillside
