Hahoe village is one of Korea's most representative clan villages. The village's tangible heritages, such as its pavilions, study halls, Confucian academies, upper-class residential estates, and thatched-roofed houses of commoners, have been well maintained over the past centuries. The village's intangible heritages, such as traditional rituals and customs of the (1392-1910), are also still performed by the villagers. For these reasons, Hahoe village was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2010. This village was established in the middle period of the Goryeo dynasty (918-1392) when the Gimhae Heo clan and the Gwangju An clan moved to this area. In the late 14th century, the Pungsan Ryu clan also settled here. The village thrived following the success of two brothers born in this village, Ryu Un-ryong and Ryu Seong-ryong, who became esteemed scholar-officials who brought prestige to their family. The name Hahoe means 'encircled by the river', because the Nakdonggang River flows around the village in an S-shape. The village's geographical location has long been regarded as auspicious. The village is also known for its mask dance drama, a musical folk play that satirizes the hypocrisies of society, and its firework boat festival, in which Buyongdae Cliff is lit ablaze under the summer full moon and people enjoy song, dance, and poetry while riding on boats. Other important village heritages include the masks used during the mask dance drama and Ryu Seong-ryong's written record of the Japanese invasions in 1592-1598.
