Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity
Tugging rituals and games are four cultural practices in Cambodia, Philippines, South Korea, and Vietnam, which were collectively included in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity List in 2015.[1] The tugging rituals and games, namely lbaengteanhprot (Khmer: ល្បែងទាញព្រ័ត្រ), punnuk, juldarigi (Korean: 줄다리기), and keo co (Vietnamese: kéo co), include two teams, with each pulling one end of a rope, attempting to tug it from the other.[2][3][4][5]
The tugging rituals and games promote social solidarity, provide entertainment and mark the start of a new agricultural cycle.[6] While these traditional practices often emphasize competition, the game is intended to show the importance of cooperation.[2]
They are often organized in front of a village's communal house or shrine, preceded by commemorative rites to local protective deities.[7] Village elders play active roles in leading and organizing younger people in playing the game and holding accompanying rituals.[1]
