The place where the floral tribute song of Madame Suro in Silla originated

• The floral tribute song is a famous story among the legend of Madame Suro who was the wife of Sunjeong-gong, the governor of Gangreung in the 33rd year of King Seongdeok's rein in Silla.

• Sunjeong-gon was on his way to the Gangreung with his wife, Suro, to be appointed as the governor of Gangreung. He had the lunch and relaxed at the place where he thought as the area adjacent to the seashore of the East Sea, currently Bugyeong-ri, Namjeong-myeon, Yeongdeok-gun, and found the mesmerizing scenic beauty of the cliff with the azalea in full bloom.

• Madame Suro asked people, "Who will break the flower for me?". She was answered that the flowers could be reached. However, old man who was passing by with a cow overheard. He climbed to the top of cliff, broke the flower, and brought it to Madame Suro.

紫布岩乎邊希 딛배 바회 - On the edge of the red rock
執音乎手母牛放敎遣 자온손 암쇼 노시고 - I take my hand away from the cow
吾肹不喩慚肹伊賜等 나 안디 붓리샤 - If you are not shy
花肹折叱可獻乎理音如 곶 것가 받오리이다. - I will break the flower and bring it to you.

He composed this song, which is called "floral tribute song".

• When the group was relaxing at the seashore again, the Dragon King was mesmerized by the beauty of Madame Suro and took her to the underwater. At this time, they made a song and struck the hill with the sticks as an old man said, and finally rescued her. It is said that even later the beautiful appearance of Madame Suro captivated the gods and was often captured by the fascinated gods when she passed by the deep mountain or lake.
