Korea has been a country of folk customs and etiquette since ancient times, and there are many festivals, among which the grand traditional festivals profoundly reflect the importance that the Korean people attach to tradition. In the late 1990s, South Korea put forward the strategy of "building the country through culture", and both the central and local governments attached great importance to the protection, inheritance and revitalization of traditional festival culture.

Influenced by Korean culture, the four traditional festivals in China, Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, also spread to the Korean Peninsula very early with the spread of China culture, becoming the four traditional festivals in South Korea and spreading to this day. In the protection of traditional festival culture, South Korea pays attention to legislation first. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Korean government began to pay attention to the collection and arrangement of traditional folk culture.
