Below are some photos of the street parade which I took Saturday afternoon in Gochang, during their annual Moyang Fortress Festival. While some of the youngsters didn't seem too impress with being in the parade, the elderly folk were much more cheerful. They especially beamed when they noticed me with my camera.
The men above are dressed in traditional "seonbi" garb. Seonbi are the traditional Confuncian scholars whom were especially prevalent during the Yi Dinasty, if I remember correctly. As scholars of Confucius they are serious, and the elderly gentlement above does a good job of looking serious.
Unlike the seonbi, this grandma and grandpa was dancing all the way.
