When is the Mid-Autumn Festival in Korea and its customs?

1, Koreans call Mid-Autumn Festival "Autumn Festival". Autumn is one of the most important festivals in Korea. From August 14 of the lunar calendar, there will be three days off to celebrate the festival.

The most important thing in Korean autumn festival is that the whole family will go to grandparents' home for reunion. First, they will worship their ancestors, and then the whole family will dance together to enjoy the moon. The girls put on gorgeous traditional costumes and played ancient springboard games. South Korea also has a unique Mid-Autumn Festival food-muffins. The muffin is shaped like a half moon and made of rice flour. The fillings are red bean paste, jujube paste and so on. It is named after the fluffy mat when steaming. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, every family steamed vegetables and fed each other. August15th of the Korean lunar calendar is called "Autumn Evening", which is the Mid-Autumn Festival in China.

Autumn night can be said to be the most important traditional festival for Koreans in a year. This is a festival of harvest and gratitude, even bigger than the Spring Festival (Lunar New Year). South Korea's Mid-Autumn Festival originated in China, but it has changed in a long history. China people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival mainly because of family reunion. People who can't get together also pay attention to traveling thousands of miles a day. South Korea's Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a time for family reunion, but also a time to remember the kindness of ancestors. More importantly, it is a time to worship ancestors and sweep graves.

4. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, South Korea will stage a spectacular scene of "great ethnic migration", just like the Spring Festival travel rush craze in China. It is difficult to buy train tickets and bus tickets. For South Korea, where each family owns 1.5 cars on average, many people drive home by private cars, so the traffic jam on expressways is very serious.
