The Lamenting River Across the DMZ

横跨休战线的叹息之江

Hantangang River runs across the DMZ, and its name means both lamentation and a large stream in Korean. But it sounds like a lamenting river, given the divided Korea. Hantangang River eventually came from a large stream.

因为横跨休战线流淌，不知何故，汉滩江之名称也令人感到悲戚。事实上，汉滩江具有的不是叹息之意的‘吐着一口气叹息的（恨叹）’，而是具有很大的池潭之意的纯韩国语‘Hanyeowul’。即，意味着很大的池潭。汉字的大滩经过发展，成了现在的汉滩江之名。

Hantangang River was created by the lava-run trail following a volcanic explosion, making it a very special river. It originates from Pyeonggang-gun in Gangwon-do, runs through Cheorwon-gun in Gangwon-do, and Pocheon-gun and Yeoncheon-gun in Gyeonggi-do before flowing into the Imjingang River. It extends to a total of 136 km. The surroundings of the river include rugged cliffs and plenty of geological resources, delivering picturesque views. The river is famous for its tumultuous changes and splendid scenery more than any other rivers in Korea. The river flows through the lava terrain involving basalt from its point of origin through to the Imjingang River, and is surrounded by amazing vertical cliffs and canyons along the stream. It also has a good rafting site.

汉滩江在火山爆发之后，熔岩流过的地方成为江河的非常独特的江河。从江原道平康郡发源，经过江原道铁原郡、京畿道抱川郡与涟川郡，流入临津江的汉滩江，总长为136km。汉滩江周边包括奇岩绝壁，有很多地质资源，形成如画的壮观，比韩国任何江河变化无双、风光秀丽而闻名。汉滩江自发源地开始到临津江合流地点为止，灌流玄武岩组成的熔岩地带，所以形成垂直的绝壁与峡谷，成为绝景。而且，同时也是以冲浪运动场所而受到瞩目。

Looking for Hantangang River’s Jewel-like Heritages

寻找汉滩江怀抱的宝石般的遗产

Despite the changes over time, the Hantangang River remains close to Koreans. Previous generations saw a large number of literary works, art works, and humanities works being created under the theme of the Hantangang River. The genres of the works containing the theme of the Hantangang River range widely from folktale, poetry, novels, and songs. First, let us listen to the stories from those who were told about incidents related to the Hantangang River.

即使时代发生变化，人们的身边依然有着汉滩江。超越当前时代，很久以前开始有着以汉滩江作为主题的各种文化作品与艺术作品等很多人文作品。从汉滩江有关的民谈到诗句、小说、歌谣，其类型也非常多种多样。首先，让我们欣赏跟汉滩江一起度过岁月的人们传承下来的汉滩江相关故事。

An old man, who was raised and spent many years near the Hantangang River (the story provided by Lee Pung-eop), vividly remembered the Hantangang River during the Korean War. In Gomun-ri, Yeoncheon, the old man’s hometown, there is the Jaein Waterfall. In the past, up the Jaein Waterfall, in the sharply curved part of the river, there was a white beach called Amteo.

在汉滩江流淌的地方生长的爷爷（投稿者：李风业）清晰地记着6.25战争当时经历的汉滩江。爷爷的故乡涟川古文里有才人瀑布。过去在才人瀑布上侧的江水凹陷的地方有一个被人们称为暗址的白沙场。某一天

Also, there are pieces of sad music that lament the national scars of the Korean War as people look at Hantangang River and remember their hometown. Such humanities works tell of the memories of Hantangang River along with the painful feelings of war and a divided Korea. The Hantangang River boasts of splendid views, but during the war, works could not be written about its picturesque scenes, with only a few exceptions, such as Korea’s landscape artist Gyeomjae Jeong Seon’s Hwajeokyeon Pond, Sambuyeon Pond, and Jeongjayeon Pond, which were all done before the Korean War. They honestly depict the amazing scenes of Hantangang River. As Jeong Seon traveled to present-day Hwajeokyeon Pond in Pocheon and to Sambuyeon Pond and Jeongjayeon Pond in Cheorwon on his way to Geumgangsan Mountain, he painted the breathtaking scenes of Hantangang River, which have survived until the present day.

有关汉滩江的文学作品，都有作为3.8线与6.25战争的收复地区，描写分断的痛苦的诗句以及汉滩江与6.25战争的痛苦作为主题的小说与剧本等。而且，还有看着汉滩江思念故乡或者代表因战争引起的民族伤痕的悲戚的音乐等。通过这些人文作品，可以知道的主要是汉滩江的思念与战争与分断的痛苦带来的悲戚的感情，渗透在作品里面。虽然是美丽的绝景而闻名的汉滩江，但汉滩江经历的战争时期，不能只表现出绝景的作品。但是，汉滩江遭受战争的痛苦之前，还有过表达汉滩江美丽的秘境的作品。被评为是韩国山水画风格创始人的谦斋郑敾的禾积渊图、三釜渊图、亭子渊图就是这方面的作品。该作品可以说是将汉滩江的秘境照样描绘在画幅。谦斋在途径金刚山的路上，经过现在的抱川禾积渊与铁原的三釜渊、亭子渊，将汉滩江绝景作为名著留给后人。

Furthermore, Hantangang River preserves myriads of precious humanities heritages. Thus, we vow to explore humanities materials that are associated with Hantangang River, and to re-establish the great and precious cultural heritages of the Hantangang River.

此外，汉滩江还珍藏着很多珍贵的人文遗产。所以，我们正在发掘以汉滩江为背景的人文资料，重新确立伟大而珍贵的汉滩江文化遗产。

Hantangang’s Yet Another Present, Its Major Sightseeing Attractions

汉滩江给我们的又一个礼物，汉滩江代表性名所

The sightseeing attractions of Hantangang River, which connects Yeoncheon and Pocheon in Gyeonggi-do, and Cheorwon in Gangwon-do and features a pristine natural environment, include Jaein Waterfall in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do, which was formed as the plains were sunken, creating a large canyon, Jiktang Waterfall in Cheorwon in Gangwon-do, which features splendid views as the vibrant currents of water fall vertically from 80-m high gigantic rocks, Goseokjeong Pavilion in Cheorwon, which King Jinpyeongwang of Silla erected, and where the peasant rebellion leader Im Kkeok-jeong was said to dwell, and Sundam Valley in Cheorwon, in which a canyon was created as the river winds down.

They all have a geologically unique structure, and feature splendid views. Geographical heritages in the surroundings of Hantangang River also include Natural Monument No. 537, Bideulginang Waterfall, and Natural Monument No. 542, Auraji Pillow-Shaped Basalt Lava, among other awesome geographical formations.

There are also sheeting joints in Eundae-ri – where eccentric circle-shaped cracks are seen in granites, hills, and cave-like cliffs – which were created by the river’s erosion, and Meonguri Canyon, where a river water-eroded cave is seen. As such, Hantangang River encompasses not only humanities resources but also geological resources, making it a precious river.

连接京畿道涟川･抱川、江原道铁原的水流的同时照样表现出自然环境的汉滩江的名所，都有随着平地凹陷的大峡谷形成的京畿涟川的才人瀑布、从长度80m的巨大的岩盘垂直倾泻大量水流而成为壮观的江原铁原的直汤瀑布、相传新罗真平王建立而后来林巨正居住过的铁原孤石亭、以及江水形成大规模蜿蜒激流而形成峡谷的铁原莼潭溪谷等。这些都在地质学上具有独特的机构，且是景致非常美丽而闻名的地方。而且，汉滩江周边的地质遗产都有作为天然纪念品537号的鸽子囊瀑布、在水中急剧冷却的作为天然纪念品542号的合流口枕头熔岩（玄武岩模样就像枕头而起的名称）等，此外还有让人们感到自然的神秘的独特地形。可以观赏在花岗岩以同心圆状平行形成的龟裂的隐垈里板状节理、河川的侵蚀作用而形成的山坡与洞穴地河蚀崖、可以观赏河蚀洞穴的结节峡谷等。如此，汉滩江不仅是人文资源，可以说是具有地质资源的珍贵的江河。

The River Meets A Friend River, , Road

相遇成为朋友的江与路

There are myriads of walking roads nationwide. But Hantangang Jusangjeolligil (columnar jointing road) highlights the Hantangang River or the core resources of the river, making it as the river with the highest profile. Both sides of Hantangang River boast of high and low rugged cliffs, which are joined by columnar joints that are found in lava eruption areas, Jeju, and Hantangang River. Columnar joints are created as lava cools, leading the river water and seawater to meet and harden, and forming columnar shapes. They boast of stone sculptures as well. Actually, the Hantangang River basin has columnar joints in the Chatancheon Stream, Gomun-ri, Namgye-ri, Gungpyeong-ri, and the Gorang Inlet.

全国有很多漫步路。汉滩江也是衬托江河的核心资源，形成了可以向人们最好地宣传之路。那就是‘汉滩江柱状节理路’。环顾汉滩江周边，江河的两侧有高矮不同的奇岩绝壁炫耀着自己的姿态。该壮观的大作用就是柱状节理。熔岩喷出的地区可以看到的柱状节理，在济州与此处的汉滩江可以看到。柱状节理是熔岩退热之后遇到江水或者海水而凝固之后形成的柱状物，就像人类雕刻出来的石雕。实际上，汉滩江流域有车滩川、古文里、楠溪里、宫坪里、高浪浦口柱状节理。

Columnar joints, a major splendid view of the Hantangang River, allowed the roads constructed along the Hantangang River to be named after them. Hantangang Jusangjeolli aims to help the areas, including Cheorwon in Gangwon-do, and Yeoncheon and Pocheon in Gyeonggi-do, through which Hantangang River passes, and to promote the regional humanities resources of Hantangang River. As we stroll along the peaceful Hantangang River in areas bordering Cheorwon, Yeoncheon, and Pocheon, we can fully enjoy the clear river. As we walk along Hantangang Jusangjeolligil, we can encounter myriads of unique geological and humanities resources with the backgrounds of amazing scenes and Hantangang River.

该柱状节理因为是汉滩江的代表性秘境，成为顺着汉滩江建设的漫步路名称的主人公。通过‘汉滩江柱状节理路’帮助涵盖整个汉滩江的江原道铁原、京畿道涟川、抱川接境地区发展，广而宣传内涵汉滩江的地区人文资源。我们因为有这条路，可以顺着铁原、涟川、抱川接境地区和平地流淌的汉滩江，可以尽情享受清澈的江水。现在，顺着‘汉滩江柱状节理路’漫步，以很多独特地质与汉滩江秀丽的自然景观、汉滩江为背景，可以遇到很多人文资源。

Stories Along Jusangjeolligil (Columnar Jointing) Road

顺着柱状节理路将展开的故事

Hantangang River boasts of crystal clearness and cleanness. In this river, there are myriads of hidden humanities resources flowing. Hantangang Jusangjeolligil will showcase precious humanities resources through further investigations. To allow more people to hear the story of how Jusangjeolligil embraces Hantangang River as they walk through the road, research efforts on humanities resources, which helped create the Hantangang Jusangjeolligil and formed the background of Hantangang, will continue.

就如看透玻璃般，清澈干净的姿态的汉滩江。该江水还在流淌着依旧被隐藏的很多人文资源。‘汉滩江柱状节理路’通过更多调查，为了在汉滩江包含珍贵美丽的人文价值而不断努力。今后为了让更多的人漫步柱状节理路，听到汉滩江的故事，成为‘汉滩江柱状节理路’的建设与汉滩江背景的人文资源研究将会继续。
