This is a study on the practical application of swing focused on as a most representing folk entertainment play of Korean women and a watch culture. The swing our traditional folk play is amusement culture inherited historically so long. The swing could be applied to entertainment and culture of women in modern times as well as the past. It also contains our unique identity which obtains Korean value no other country could imitate. On the study of meaning of the swing, although there has been study on the folklore, physical gymnastics or anthropological aspects but was no study on application of the swing necessary to practical field. Accordingly a subject focused on this research treatise shall be as followings. Firstly, this treatise summarized general characteristics and meaning of the swing of the countries of the world, and exposed the meaning and characteristics of swing of India, China, Japan and Korea. Through this approach, Korean swing not only was spread to Japan before AD 827, but if northern yoong tribes(山戎)were our ancestors, our swing culture was circulated to china and we assume the swing custom was introduced to our community from India at earlier time before. Secondly, survey on the phase of Choochun (鞦韆 : swing) in the Koryo and Joseon Dynasty was proceeded. As advanced study on the swing in Koryo kingdom was hard to find, historical books as and were the subject, and examined the primary successor and the meaning of time and space. As a result of this examination on time and space of that culture, though the day swing actually played was on the feast day of Danoh (端午), any day other than Danoh was available as in case king woo (禑王) played the swing in October. The place swing was played in the historical books was appeared in palace court and the garden of Choiyee’s home in Gangwha-do. Through the ban on the swing we could suppose the swing was popular at whole regions of Koryo kingdom period. To see structure of swing and swing play of the past survey was given to conceptual drawings, structure, facility and swing practice of the Koryo and Joseon dynasty. Especially, I’ve seen structure and facility of swing through historical books, literary collection and paintings, and surveyed swing contest, award and social position among the swing culture. Survey was tried to examine any connection between origin of ground swing, materials of swing pole, and decoration of facility to modern swing. It was possible to look at the origin of post swing, beginning of award and categories of prize. It was possible to prepare basic frame for this approach to apply to materials of Chosun dynasty, modern era and contemporary times. Thirdly, a survey was given to Korean swing. On the swing we’ve looked structure of swing, installation of swing in our country, classification and system of swing and category. We could see that basic structure of swing is consisted of swing pillar, crossbeam, swing rope and seat, and installation was proceeded by preparation step, installation and steps after installation. Especially, I could classify that the swing was divided to four steps as location, numbers of ropes, structure of swing, and swing materials. I could confirm the data on swings that there are 105 swings at 84 sites overall in our country. Swings are categorized by location as water swing, swing and ground swing, and single rope swing, two rope swing, twin swing according to numbers of ropes, and on the material there are wood swing, cement swing and steel swings, and we saw there are straight swing, A type swing and same size square type swing by structural shape. Fourthly, I’ve looked at swing performance play in our country. There are swing play as entertainment and swing performance. Swing contest or swing exhibition practice belong to swing performance. Overall looking was given to class of swing, name of the contest, prescription of rally, rules of contest, and contest status. Especially, on the category of swing performance, we’ve examined on the class of contest, subject of performers, and numbers of performers. On the rules of swing contest, four procedures were checked as by contest place, facility and representing performers, play rules, ranking judgement and judge rules. Fifthly, safety issues of swing structure and popularization measures was considered. Safety of swing practice could be focused on the realities of the existing system, safety of swing structure, safety of contest, especially safety of keeping and maintenance of the swing, and for the popularization of the swing culture we advised on the agenda as model of application, ongoing address of legislation, value creation of swing practice, running swing contest, and installation and maintenance of the swing culture. Especially, we’ve explained popularization of swing culture in three major frame. Value creation of the swing performance, hosting swing contest, installation and maintenance of the swing structure were advised. Value creation of the swing performance shall be the subject of uniqueness of swing culture, and sustainment of swing play, and detailed explanation was suggested on the perspective of historical folklore, cultural, economic viewpoint, environmental structural and political perspective. On the operation of swing contest, I suggested nationwide organization should be preceded to host such contest activity. Installation and maintenance of the swing facility requires care and attention. I suggested it requires modernization of swing facility and qualification standard of installation contractor, and for its maintenance safety measure and necessity of proper insurance policy were suggested. Our historical values is contained in the folk swing play. Entertainment of the women and feast of Danoh has been preserved its spirit until today through long period of time. Folk swing custom is the most representing Korean cultural item not only in Koryo kingdom but also it contained physical activity of the public and attracted public interest around country wide in Chosun dynasty. Popularization of the swing must contains ethical value of our folk swing, policy on swing culture, maintenance of swing facility, and necessity of hosting the swing contest. And it should be considered that children and youth must be participants as keepers of traditional culture and they have attentive rights with curiosity and joyful interest and fair competition so far as concerned.
