Uiseong County (Uiseong-gun) is a county in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, South Korea. Located near the center of the province, it is bounded by Andong on the north, Cheongsong on the east, Gunwi County on the south, and Sangju and Yecheon on the west. As in most parts of Korea, most of the land is vacant and forested; only about 19% of the county's area is farmland. The county is largely rural, with an economy dominated by agriculture; the only urbanized area is the county seat, Uijeong-eup.

South Korean national treasure 77, a five-storied stone pagoda, lies in Geumseong-myeon. Also in Geumseong-myeon are a set of more than 300 dinosaur tracks from the early Cretaceous period.

Uiseong is home to Gounsa, one of the 24 head temples of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. This temple is located in Danchon-myeon.

Famous people from Uiseong include Yu Seong-ryong, provincial commander during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598).

Di Korea, penduduk membakar "daljip", rumah simbolis yang dibangun untuk bulan. Sebelum membakar, warga menempelkan harapan untuk menghilangkan nasib buruk dan memohon hasil pertanian baik. Upacara pembakaran rumah bulan telah dilakukan selama ratusan tahun. Dulunya, hanya pada bulan pertama di Tahun Baru China, tapi sekarang hal ini dapat dilakukan di acara apa saja, kapan saja. Kali ini, upacara dilangsungkan di Festival Layangan Musim Semi Internasional di Uiseong, Korea Selatan. Musisi menarikan tarian rakyat Korea, 'Pungmul' di sekitar rumah bulan. Rumahnya terbuat dari cabang pohon pinus. Replika bulan dari jerami, digantung di dalamnya. [Youngja Heo, Direktur Pusat Kebudayaan Uiseong]: "Bulan jadi saksi saya! Berikan hasil tani yang melimpah! Kami memohon kepada langit, bumi dan dewa-dewa." Setelah direktur membaca permohonan, api dinyalakan. Nyala api sangat panas. Menurut kepercayaan kuno Korea, jika rumah terbakar dengan cepat, ini berarti keberuntungan. Tapi jika api padam tanpa membakar seluruh rumah, ini bisa berarti nasib buruk sepanjang tahun. [Cneeang Varin, Turis Kamboja]: "Saya belum pernah melihatnya. Ini bagus, walau saya tidak mengetahuinya. Setelah saya dengar, jadi ingin melihatnya. " [Michael Alvares, Turis Australia]: "Sangat menakjubkan melihat api unggun ini dan semua orang berdoa, berharap doanya menjadi kenyataan. Saya belum pernah melihat sesuatu sebesar dan semenarik ini sebelumnya. Saya dapat merasakan panas di punggung." Walau makna dari <b>...</b>

Our correspondent has more. In Korea, villagers burn a symbolic house built for the moon, called daljip. It's performed in the hope of getting rid of bad luck, and ensuring a good crop for the New Year. People tie their wishes to the "house" before it's set alight. The ceremony of burning the moon's house has been performed for hundreds of years, and traditionally would only be done on the first full moon of the lunar New Year. But now it's mainly performed to bring good luck for a special event, or just for entertainment at any time of the year. This ceremony is being performed for the International Spring Kite Festival in Uiseong, South Korea. Musicians perform a Korean folk dance,'Pungmul' around the moon's house. The house is made of pine trees and branches. Hung inside is a replica of the moon made of hay. [Youngja Heo, Director, Uiseong Cultural Center]: "Dear Moon be my witness! Please give us a bumper crop! We ask this to the heaven, the earth and gods." After the director reads the wishes, the fire is lit. The heat from the fire is intense.
