부용대에서 바라본 안동 하회마을 입니다. 마을을 둘러볼 때, 잊혀져 가고 있는 정겨운 ‘다듬이’ 소리가 마을 안쪽에서 들려서 녹음을 했습니다.

다듬질은 다듬이질이라고도 한다. 세탁된 옷감의 주름을 펴고 부드럽게 만들기 위해, 옷감을 방망이로 두들겨 손질한다. 다듬이 도구로는 다듬잇돌, 다듬잇방망이, 다듬잇포대기 등이 있다. 두들기는 방망이를 ‘다듬잇 방망이’, 밑에 받치는 돌을 ‘다듬잇돌’이라 한다

The ‘Ha’ is short for river and ‘hoe’ means to ‘turn around, return, come back. The village is a valuable part of Korean culture because it preserves Joseon period-style architecture, folk traditions, valuable books, and an old tradition of clan-based villages.

In the video, you can hear the unique sound called “Dadeumi sori (Sound of Trimming)’. Trimming is one of the Korean traditional ways to smooth out wrinkles and soften the washed fabric, beat the fabric with a bat to trim it. Trimming tools include trimming stones, trimming bats, trimming sticks.

For beating, the bat is called a grinding bat, and the stone that supports the bottom is called a grinding stone. The Hahoe Folk Village (Korean: 안동하회마을) is a traditional village from the Joseon Dynasty.

The village is located in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do. To the north of the village is Buyongdae Cliff while Mt. Namsan lies to the south.

The village is organized around the geomantic guidelines of pungsu (Korean feng shui) and so the village has the shape of a lotus flower or two interlocking comma shapes. The village is listed by the South Korean government with UNESCO as a World Heritage Site with Yangdong Folk Village in 2010
