Since ancient times, ritual ceremonies have been a national event and have been a means of securing the legitimacy and legitimacy of power and gaining recognition. So the ritual is at the forefront of national ideology. Although Baekje Cultural Festival, which has a history of more than 60 years, has established itself as a regional festival, it is questionable whether it functions in a way that does not suit the reputation of being one of Korea’s representative festivals. Festivals have traditionally had their own structures different from event events.
It has the ritual structure of the spirit-Osin-Songshin, which makes the gods happy, conveys the will of man to God, and then returns the god. The festival as a modern cultural event does not necessarily have to be a medium for the gods, but it cannot be ignored in terms of expanding the function of the festival by having a condensed and complete structure.
The Baekje Cultural Festival has made trials and errors as it has made strenuous efforts through numerous changes and various event events.
As the Baekje Cultural Festival has recently risen in status as an international event, there is a movement for reconsideration of music and dance accompanied by ritual ceremonies. The purpose of the ceremony is to use Confucian music and dance from the Joseon Dynasty. This paper starts from the position that it should be reconsidered with a wake-up call for such a move.

In the limited data, the nature of the rite was reviewed by examining the conceptual differences in ancestral rites, je(祭), sa(祀), sa(祠), gi(祈), and al(謁) which is a visit to one’s ancestral grave. Based on this, we hope that the festival will have its original characteristics as well as the integration of local residents while making the best use of cultural assets in Chungcheong Province by holding rituals for the god of heaven, rites for the god of the earth, and memorial services for the man-made ancestors. The period of Baekje and its locality of Chungcheong Province should be considered by inclusion in the structure of the festival, rather than listing various rituals.
