What festivals do Koreans have?

It's the baby's first birthday. The first anniversary of a baby is the most important in Korean life ceremonies. The celebration of the baby's first anniversary is also grand. When the baby's birthday comes, the baby's mother dresses herself up beautifully, and then dresses her child in a set of elaborate national costumes.

Then take the child to the prepared birthday table and let the baby "have a look" at the "playing with water" specially arranged for him. There will be some symbolic things on the table, such as cakes, sweets, food, pens, books and small guns. After all the guests arrived, the baby's mother asked the child to take anything he liked from all kinds of things on the table.

When the child reached for something from the table, the guests cheered and said something to make them happy. This process is called the "ceremony" of the baby's birthday table. In some places, there is a custom that old people put an ordinary white line around their children's necks to show that they hope their children can be white like the white line and live as long as the long line.

2. Lantern Festival

Burn oak wood into charcoal, press it into powder, add salt, wrap it in paper into sausage shape, and wrap it with thin straw rope. At night, if you tie it to a long pole and light it, it will crackle and send out dazzling sparks. On the fifth day and autumn night, men compete in wrestling and women compete in springboard and swing.

3. Autumn night

August 15th in the old calendar is called Autumn Evening, also called Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, early rice can introduce new rice, and all kinds of fruits are ripe. In autumn and evening, people take food and fresh fruit made of new rice to their graves for weeding and sacrifice.

The traditional food in autumn is muffins. On this day, Korean villagers usually slaughter cattle, cut the meat and internal organs into small pieces, divide them into many parts, put them on Vitex negundo and distribute them to households. Various sports competitions, such as wrestling, swings and springboard, are also held in autumn and evening, and some villages also hold bullfights.

4. Shampoo Festival

June 15th of the lunar calendar is the Korean shampoo festival. This day is considered an auspicious day. Early in the morning, men, women and children went to the river to wash their hair. It is said that it is lucky to wash your hair with the stream flowing eastward. In the evening, people will hold a shampoo banquet and sing shampoo songs at home, and then the whole family, old and young, will happily sit together and have a sumptuous dinner.

5. Wedding celebration

Among Korean family festivals, the most grand one is the "Returning Wedding Festival", also known as the "Returning Wedding Festival", which is the 60th anniversary of marriage. Holding a wedding festival must meet the following three conditions: First, the old couple are alive; Second, the biological child is alive; Third, no grandchildren died. If there are dead children or grandchildren, you can't hold a wedding festival.

Therefore, it is a great honor for anyone to hold a wedding festival, and relatives and friends should come to congratulate them. An old couple put on their wedding dresses when they were young and helped each other to sit at the dinner table. Everyone frequently raises a glass to bless, which is more lively and grand than the wedding of young people.
