Worshiping the Mountain God, it's quite a spectacle.
First, there's the ritual, setting up a long incense table as the altar, offering fruits and mountain goods, and bowing reverently.
Then, shouting to all directions, three loud cries to notify the ancestors, three more with great vigor to salute heaven and earth, and the last three extended calls to awaken the Mountain Spirit, wishing for a good harvest and safety.
This is called "Mountain Shouting."
After the lively ceremony, everyone eats and drinks their fill, and the ginseng picker leads the group with torches back into the mountains.
As they walk, they use their spears to knock on tree trunks, making a thunderous noise to drive away poisonous insects and fierce beasts, smoothly delivering fruits and incense to the mountain temple.
This is called "Mountain Opening."
