[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters reporters Jonggu Song and Seryeong Lee] On the evening of the 5th, the 2023 Jeongwol Daeboreum Daljip Burning event was held in Yegok-ri, Jinbuk-myeon, Masanhappo-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam.

Daljip Burning is a traditional seasonal custom performed on the lunar calendar's Jeongwol Daeboreum day, where a fire is lit on a daljip (moon house) as the moon rises. It is said that if the daljip burns evenly all at once, the village will be peaceful and have a bountiful harvest.
