What festivals do Koreans celebrate and how do they celebrate them?

The festivals of Korean people are basically the same as those of Han people.

In addition, there are three family festivals, namely, the first anniversary of the baby's birth, "Flower Festival" (60th birthday) and "Wedding Festival" (60th wedding anniversary). Koreans have always advocated etiquette and paid attention to festivals. On New Year's Day and festive days, the diet is more particular. All dishes and cakes should be decorated with shredded pepper, sliced eggs, shredded laver, shredded onion or pine nut rice and walnut kernel.

Korean Spring Festival: Koreans who can sing and dance well have a colorful holiday life. On New Year's Eve, the whole family stayed up all night, and the ancient music of gayageum and Dong Xiao brought people into a new realm. During the festival, men, women and children indulge in singing and dancing, springboard pressing and tug-of-war. And the venue is very lively and people are eager to watch it. On the fifteenth night of the first month, a traditional celebration was held. Several old people boarded the wooden "moon-looking frame" to see the bright moon first, which meant that his children and grandchildren were healthy and all the best. Then, everyone sang and danced around the brightly lit "full moon building" with the music of long drums, flutes and suona until they had a good time.

Shangyuan Festival: Korean traditional China New Year. It is held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, and the festival lasts for one day. On this day, Koreans should first send lanterns to ancestral graves, then put lanterns in the hall, hang sky lanterns in the yard, hang wall lanterns on both sides of the courtyard door and put lanterns in the river. On this day, we will take medicine and rice, whole grain rice and drink conga wine. Medicinal rice takes glutinous rice and honey as basic raw materials. Mix jujube, chestnut, pine nuts, etc. And cooking. Because the raw materials of medicinal rice are expensive, it is not easy to get them all. Generally, five kinds of "five-in-one rice" such as rice, millet, rhubarb rice, glutinous rice and Mi Dou are used instead. Looking forward to the bumper harvest of grain that year. In the evening, everyone held torches at the height of Dongshan to welcome the full moon. Whoever is blessed in that year will see the full moon rising. After welcoming the moon, men, women and children will step on the bridge in the moonlight. Stepping on a bridge, also known as stamping a bridge. In Korean, "bridge" and "leg" are homophonic, which means practicing legs with a bridge. When stepping on the bridge, everyone has to go back and forth on the bridge several times to dozens of times, and the number of times must be commensurate with their age, so as to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters.

Baby's birthday: 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, then dresses the child in a set of elaborate national costumes, and then carries the child to the prepared birthday table so that the baby can "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.

Liutou Festival: June 15th of the lunar calendar is a 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. [ 1]

Wedding Return Etiquette: Among Korean family festivals, the most grand one is "Wedding Return Etiquette", also known as "Wedding Return Etiquette", 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.

June 1 day: June 1 International Children's Day has evolved into a new national festival in Yanbian. In Yanbian, people regard Children's Day as an important child-friendly activity. On June 1 day, people are often crowded, and people wear holiday clothes and flock to the park for garden activities.

In addition to traditional festivals, children's first birthday, marriage, and the elderly's sixtieth birthday are all given a big banquet to entertain guests. The traditional dishes of the banquet are not only various, but also exquisite and gorgeous, and many foods should be made into birds and animals. Among all the ceremonial banquets, the "Huahua" banquet to congratulate the elderly on their 60th birthday is the most exquisite and grand.
