■ A place where land has been cultivated for a long time, the narrow and long terraced rice fields on the slopes of the mountains of Namhae Darangi Village. Darangi Village was created by piling up stone walls over a long period of time, adding rice paddies one by one. Rice farming is a long-standing symbol of the village and the lifeline of the villagers. However, the area of rice farming decreased significantly as the villagers aged, and in 2005, the Cultural Heritage Administration designated Darangi Village as Place of Scenic Beauty No. 5. Now, in 2013, the Darangi Rice Field Preservation Association was created. The Cultural Heritage Administration has been continuously purchasing rice fields, and the Darangi Rice Field Preservation Association has been working hard to preserve Darangi rice fields by farming rice every year. ■ The last week of May, the day of rice planting in Darangi Village Because the rice fields were created by cutting down the mountain, unlike rice fields on flat land where most machines are used, rice seedlings must be planted by hand in the areas where machines cannot enter. Compared to general fields, it is a place where you cannot see the ripening rice without time and people putting in their heart and soul. However, in an aging village, finding help is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Despite the lack of help, the grandmothers of the village put their arms together and started planting rice seedlings by hand. The village grandmothers sang Arirang with joy as they planted rice seedlings by hand, even in the small rice fields that can be covered with a hat. ■ People who continue their lives on the land passed down to them by their ancestors In Darangi Village, there are also residents who only love farming and cultivate their own rice fields. Mr. Kim Joo-seong inherited the rice fields that his grandfather had made and grows various crops and rice. His rice field is located at the very top of Darangi Village. Mr. Kim Joo-seong works in the rice fields all day. Dinner is prepared with rice he has grown. It is the greatest gift to him who spent his entire day in the rice fields.
