Juldarigi
''Juldarigi'' (, also ''chuldarigi'') is a traditional Korean sport similar to tug of war. It has a ritual and divinatory significance to many agricultural communities in the country, and is performed at festivals and community gatherings. The sport uses two huge rice-straw ropes, connected by a central peg, which are pulled by teams representing the East and West sides of the village (the competition is often rigged in favour of the Western team). A number of religious and traditional rituals are performed before and after the actual competition.
Several areas of Korea have their own distinct variations of ''juldarigi'', and similar tug-of-war games with connections to agriculture are found in rural communities across Southeast Asia.
==Cultural significance==
''Juldarigi'' is an important part of several agricultural celebrations, and is a common event at the Daeboreum lunar festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://folkency.nfm.go.kr/eng/subjectindex.jsp?d=seasonal&tit_idx=238&f=F5 )〕
As with many Korean rural folk traditions, the sport is regarded as a predictor of future events, specifically harvests. The outcome of a ritualised contest between the two sides of a village (East and West) was seen as an indicator of the abundance (or otherwise) of that year's rice crop, which would be harvested in the autumn; as a result, ''juldarigi'' and similar folk sports are predominant in the rice-growing areas of the South.〔 This is due to the common association in Southeast Asia between dragons (which the ropes of the ''juldarigi'' are thought to resemble) and rain; as a result ''juldarigi'' or similar tug-of-war ceremonies have also historically been staged during periods of drought.〔 The connection of the two ropes used (with one rope's smaller loop being placed through the other's larger loop) is reminiscent of sexual intercourse, which also gives rise to the sport's association with fecundity.〔
