Pyeongtaek nongak

Pyeongtaek nongak (Korean: 평택농악) refers to nongak, or Korean farmer's music, that has been performed and handed down in the Pyeongtaek region of Gyeonggi Province.

It was designated as the eleventh asset of the Important Intangible Cultural Property by the South Korean government on December 1, 1985.

Pyeongtaek has had open fields called Sosabeol, 소사벌 and traditionally its people have farmed.

[citation needed] In Gyeonggi and Chungcheong provinces, there were many professional performing groups and Geollippaes (걸립패) which were performing nongak groups (though sometimes monk groups) asking for money and food while entertaining village people.

Cheongyongsa Temple near Pyeongtaek was a base for the troupes of strolling player (Namsadang, 남사당패) at the end of Joseon Dynasty.
