* Legend of Aebawi and Haesindang
There once lived a young maid who was engaged. One day, the maid took her husband’s boat out to sea to harvest seaweed. Her husband dropped her off at a site
that was at a distance from the beach. After promising to pick her up later, he returned to the beach to do his work. However,
the weather turned bad as strong winds and pummeing waves begun. The husband
failed to rescue his wife on time and she ultimately drowned. Since then, the villagers
were unable to catch any fishes and some claimed that it wasbecause of the dead maid. To soothe the spirit of the dead maid, the villagers
made several wooden carvings and held religious ceremonies. Later, fishes were
gradually seen appearing and the villagers were able to fish and live comfortably again. Therefore,
the place where the maid died was named Aebawi Rock and the building where the religious ceremony is held twice a year was named Haesindang. The ceremony is still honored today as a traditional folk event.
