A Study on the Relationship between Palgwanhoe and Chinese Temple Fair through the ‘One-wheeled Cart Fight’ in Chuncheon

In this study looked at the Chuncheon One-wheeled Cart Fight, focusing on the origin, type of cart, and fighting method. In addition, this study also looked at the relationship between the Goryeo Palgwanhoe and the Chinese Temple Fair in the areas of ancestral rites, performance, and economic exchange, which are core parts of the Goryeo Palgwanhoe and the Chinese Temple Fair. According to the records of the reign of King Yejong in 『History of Goryeo』 and the contents of｢Goryeo Taesa Jangjeol Singong Chunglyeolbi Byeongseo｣ written by Sin Heum, Sin Sung-gyeom and Kim Rak danced and the performance of running around on horseback at the Goryeo Palgwanhoe. It is presumed that became the prototype of the Chuncheon One-wheeled Cart Fight. In Gyeongsangbuk-do Andong Chajeon Nori and Gwangju Chilseok-dong Gossaum Nori, if you push hard, you win. One-wheeled Cart Fight is the same form of play. Therefore, I believe that the cart fight was a ‘push type’ and that the cart shape was a ‘flat type’ with a flat end. Through the records on the composition requirements of the Chinese Temple Fair and the Palgwanhoe, it was possible to demonstrate that they had many things in common and that there was a deep connection between them.
