解産俗攷 : 慶南 梁山郡 院洞面 中里와 永浦里를 中心으로 = Childbirth Manners and Customs at Choong-ri and Yeongpo-ri

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Most of the manners and customs of the two villages, Choong-ri and Yeongpo-ri are intended for the future welfare of the baby. Taboos prescribed by the two communities are determined according to the association by similarity and considerations of hygienics. We can find an apparent difference in the manner of disposing of the navel cord between the two villages which are separated from each other at a distance of two kilometers. In Choong-ri, which is located in the mountains, women have them reduced to ashes. This shows that manners and customs owe their establishment to regional environments.
It is imperative that we should continue collecting these regional man nears and customs, which areon the verge of extinction, in order to com prehend the spirit of our people more thoroughly.
