Even the workers were carrying the rack on their backs. Dwaebaemi (Seundap) is the checking method of placing the workers on a certain rice paddy repeatedly to number the workers. The size of rice paddy was 518 pyeong. 18 pyeong was ridgeway and 500 pyeong was actuall rice paddy. One worker stands with his carrying rack and leaves the space for passing makes 1 pyeong. Therefore the number of workers standing on the rice paddy was 500 people. Since it was the method of measuring grains (Dawe), it was called Dwaebaemi

▶ Shinteolmi Mountain
