About Baennori
Baennori (Korean: 뱃놀이) is a ritual of artwork appreciation on boats. It means "to appreciate artwork while boating", which was mainly held by yangban, who were the privileged classes of the Joseon period. Baennori for the aristocratic classes can be divided into two types: The Sojourn, where people would stay on the boat in a specific area; and Excursion, where people would move around in their boats over a relatively long period. Baennori does not mean just sitting still on a scenic boat but also enjoying music, poetry, and painting. It also involved drinking and partaking in ad-lib poetry on.
