What are the festivals in Korea?

Korean holidays are divided into three types: National Day, National Flag Day and Public Holidays. Trinity Day (March 1), Constitution Day (July 17), Liberation Day (August 15), Opening Day (October 3) and Hyungmun Day ( 1October 9) are the five "National Days" in South Korea.

As the seasons change, Korean traditional festivals are habitually repeated, and there are a variety of seasonal foods and games full of national characteristics. Since Korea used a lunar calendar in the past, most festivals are still calculated according to the lunar calendar. Korea is a nation based on farming and Confucianism, so traditional festivals are gradually formed to celebrate the beginning and end of farming and to thank ancestors and nature.

South Korea's literature and art are all derived from Chinese culture. Koreans are known for their love of music and dance. Korean modern music can be roughly divided into two types: "ethnic music" and "Western music." National music can be divided into two types: "grace music" and "folk music". Korean dance is centered on folk dance and court dance, and is colorful.

Korean drama originated in ancient China and mainly includes five categories: mask, puppet show, folk art, opera, and drama. Among them, the mask, also known as "masquerade", is a symbol of Korean culture and occupies an extremely important position in Korean traditional drama.
