What festivals are there in Korea?

Koreans take the first month to March as spring, April to June as summer, July to September as autumn and October to December as winter. Among them, it shows that the Spring Festival, which begins one year, is the biggest festival for Koreans. On this day, Koreans pay homage to their ancestors and pay New Year greetings to adults. There are four traditional festivals in Korea, namely Spring Festival (65438+ 1), Lantern Festival (65438+ 15), Dragon Boat Festival (5 May) and Mid-Autumn Festival (0/5). During the festival, most places carry out folk activities, and most Korean folk activities are concentrated on the fifteenth day of the first month, which is closely related to the form of praying for a bumper harvest. Representative activities include tug-of-war, car-fighting games, stepping on copper bridges, and garden parties. In the past, festivals were grand religious commemorative activities. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, South Korea began to celebrate the Harvest Festival and Thanksgiving Day. These festivals include the rich Dragon and Drum Festival, the ASEAN Festival in Koguryo and the Japanese Dance Festival. Except for the Dragon and Drum Festival, which is held in 65438+ February of the lunar calendar, other festivals are generally held in 65438+ October of the lunar calendar after the autumn harvest. In past dynasties, although festivals have increased or decreased, activities to celebrate the autumn harvest and welcome the Lunar New Year have been inherited. Families get together during festivals. The whole family mainly wears Hanbok and holds ancestor worship ceremony. After ancestor worship, the younger generation pays New Year greetings to their elders. The Spring Festival on the 65438+ 1 lunar calendar is the biggest festival in Korea. In Korea, ancestors are sacrificed on New Year's morning. It means the beginning of a new year. After the sacrifice, the children paid New Year greetings to the adults, and the adults returned their blessings. Eat rice cakes in the New Year. This means one year older. Family members and relatives get together to play games such as hub-throwing (a traditional Korean game played with four wooden blocks) and springboard jumping (a game in which girls stand at both ends of a long board and jump in turn). And give the blessing hedge (a tool for filtering spoons) with the meaning of "pretending to be blessed" to others or hang it at home. Lantern Festival 65438+ 10/0/5. At the beginning of the new year, welcome the first full moon and pray for a rich and safe year. 15 years 1 month in the morning, I prayed to eat "plutonium boiled" (eat hard food such as peanuts, chestnuts and walnuts to avoid sores) and "Erming wine" (wine that my ears drink to listen to good things for a year). Eat whole grain rice (cooked with rice, glutinous rice, adzuki beans, soybeans and sorghum) and wild vegetables (cooked with edible grass and leaves) for breakfast, and call each other by their first names. The other party will reply "You buy my fever", which means don't get heatstroke in summer. There are two kinds of games on the fifteenth day of the first month: one is to fly a kite, which means to eliminate a year's disaster; The second is to set fire to rats, which means to drive away monsters and pests. It is said that on the night of the fifteenth day of the first month, all three wishes for the full moon will come true. Dragon Boat Festival The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is a day to pray for a bumper harvest after transplanting rice seedlings. On the Dragon Boat Festival, women wash their hair with calamus leaves, swing, and men wrestle and make wheel cakes that look like wheels. The name of this food is also called Dragon Boat Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival is the eighth month of the lunar calendar 15, which is the biggest festival in Korea after the Spring Festival. In the evening of autumn, we offer sacrifices to our ancestors with food made in New Valley, and then go to the grave (to personally pay homage to our ancestors' graves). We also make muffins from the grain, barrels and chestnuts produced this year, and play games such as tug-of-war and strong water (shaking hands and circling together). In addition, there are some family festivals in Korea. These festivals are very important to all Koreans. They always celebrate them with banquets. These festivals include: "Hundred Days", that is, the first100th day after the baby is born; The first birthday of a "one-year-old" child; The 60th birthday of "Flower Flower" shows that a person spent a whole year. In the past, people warmly celebrated these festivals because of the large number of infant deaths and short life expectancy. These family festivals used to be celebrated as festivals and even distant relatives came to congratulate them. At present, people who take part in such celebrations are limited to their own families. More and more old people do not celebrate their birthdays at home, but choose other ways, such as traveling abroad.
