Korean folk games, traditional games

 

In Korea, games can be divided into traditional games, traditional games, and folk games. First of all, the name that is most spread and talked about is traditional play. Traditional games are literally games that were passed down to the public and played. Although its historicity and regionality are ambiguous, and it is also unclear whether it is native or foreign. Although it lacks traditional succession or universality across various classes, it has the characteristics of being a game that continues steadily in the private sector. Examples include jumping rope, playing with ttakjigi, and playing with marbles. Squid games, chicken fights, and self-governing flags played in the yard are also representative traditional games.
Next is a folk game. Folk games have strong characteristics of seasonal games passed down to the public. It refers to festivals that combine holidays, seasonal customs, and lifestyle customs, and reflect regional characteristics, and customs and games performed by communities or households.
It is also called folk entertainment, folk entertainment, folk game, folk entertainment, and local entertainment. In addition, it is sometimes referred to as a traditional folk game due to its transmission process and records, high recognition by many people, and clear historical aspects. Folk games include Ganggangsullae, Ssireum, Jwibulnori, Chajeonnori, and Seokjeon.
Traditional games are games that have strong social customs, historical background, and characteristics passed down from ancestors, and for which historical succession or literary evidence can be found. There are Yutnori and Gonu, which have their origins in tradition, but there are also foreign games such as Baduk, Tuho, and Janggi, which have been integrated into our history and cultural life for a long time and have become traditional games.
Traditional play refers to a play that has a long history or a short time origin, but is frequently encountered in the field of life or is socially very familiar from childhood. Although it is not a widely used or known concept, it refers to play that has many social and daily life elements. Looking at the play items, it can be seen as a similar concept to traditional games, as it includes games such as jachigi, kite flying, tombstone hitting, top hitting, gonggi play, and hide and seek.

'Ttakjichigi', which involves putting a play stick on the ground and hitting it with another stick to pluck it when it turns over, 'Kite Flying', and 'Jachigi', which involves hitting a shorter wooden stick with a long wooden stick and competing by measuring the distance it flies, and spinning it by hitting a top with a stick.
