When is the Spring Festival in Korea? How many days off?

I know the traditional festivals in China like the back of my hand, and I don't even know when foreign festivals are held. This time, let Bian Xiao introduce the Spring Festival in North Korea. Do you know when the Spring Festival in Korea is? Do you know whether they have a few days off during the Spring Festival like China? Bian Xiao found some information, let's have a look!

The Spring Festival in China is also the Spring Festival in Korea, on the same day. However, the traditional customs of Korean Spring Festival are different from those of China. In Korea, the Spring Festival is the second largest festival after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Spring Festival is called "Lao Zheng" in Korea, which is the Lunar New Year. "Lao Zheng Festival" is a national festival in Korea, second only to the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the Spring Festival, the whole country was immersed in a happy and peaceful atmosphere.

During the Spring Festival, the most important activity is offering sacrifices to ancestors. Koreans have strict statements about ancestor worship, such as "fish in the east and meat in the west", "head in the east and tail in the west", "red in the east and white in the west", "jujube, pear, persimmon", "cooked in the east" and "left rice and right soup", and so on, and the procedures for ancestor worship are also very strict.

Every year when the Spring Festival comes, Korean women will wear beautiful national costumes and be busy in the kitchen from morning till night. Foreign girls married to Korea are as busy as Korean women from morning till night.

Sacrificing ancestors, the younger generation pays New Year greetings to the elders, and the elders give the younger generation lucky money. During the Spring Festival, the greetings from peers are "Happy New Year". During the Spring Festival, there are always people who can't go home for the New Year or homeless people who sleep on the streets. The government and non-governmental organizations organize to celebrate the Spring Festival for them, so that they can feel the warmth of the big family during the Spring Festival.

Koreans often give gifts to each other during the Spring Festival. Gifts range from steak, yellow croaker, traditional snacks, healthy food, lunch meat, sesame oil, mushrooms, dried persimmons and daily necessities. Gifts should be packaged, and the color of the packaging is mostly tender pink.

The first scene of the Korean Spring Festival is "going back to the province"-going home to visit relatives. Every year before New Year's Eve, tens of millions of people move home to visit relatives. Seoul, once bustling, suddenly became quiet, and the bustling crowds on the streets and cars on the roads became much rarer.

However, on highways all over the country, airports, railway stations and bus stations are crowded with people. People use various means of transportation to return to their hometown before New Year's Day. Korea is a country with developed automobiles. Almost every family has a car. During the Spring Festival, more than 3 million private cars crowded on various highways, forming hundreds of kilometers of traffic. At this time, the Korean traffic station is the busiest, constantly reporting road conditions and diverting traffic flow, so that people in anxious to return can return to this province to reunite with their families earlier.

On the first day of New Year's Day, the most solemn and solemn etiquette is "sacrifice and New Year greetings". This is the core content of Spring Festival travel rush and the most distinctive second scenery. Above the main room of the house, there are portraits of ancestors. There are all kinds of offerings on the table, and the rules for placing items are very strict, such as "fish east and meat west", "head east and tail west", "red east and white west", "raw east and cooked west", "left rice and soup right", and the offerings include "jujube, pear, persimmon" and "rice cake slice soup". The procedure of sacrifice is strictly arranged according to genealogy. The whole family dressed in traditional national costumes bowed and kowtowed to their ancestors in turn, praying for the prosperity of the family business created by their ancestors.

After the ceremony, the whole family can have the first meal on New Year's Day. This meal must be "rice cake and soup". Koreans refer to Spring Festival food as "New Year's Eve", and "rice cake soup" is the most representative first meal. Korean rice cakes are made of rice flour pressed into a cylindrical shape and then cut into round pieces, which are similar to China's Shuimo rice cakes, but with different shapes.

Korean friends told reporters that ancient Koreans admired the sun, and clean white rice cakes not only represented the sun, but also symbolized a new beginning. Eating "rice cake slice soup" on the morning of the first day of the first month symbolizes the brightness of welcoming the sun and the purity of everything. The soup of "rice cake slice soup" is also very particular in Korea. It was made of mountain chicken soup in ancient times, but now it is made of beef soup or chicken soup.

In the "rice cake soup", according to different living habits in different regions, some mushrooms and vegetables are added, and some Korean steamed bread is added. The so-called "steamed bread" is jiaozi with stuffing, because jiaozi is called "steamed bread" in Korea.

After eating the "rice cake soup", a "New Year's greeting" will be held, and the younger generation at home will kowtow to their parents and elders to pay tribute to their parents' upbringing and wish them health and longevity. At this time, the elders should give the younger generation "lucky money". The "lucky money" depends on the family's economic situation. Korean friends said that this kind of ceremony and New Year greetings lasted for thousands of years because South Korea advocated Confucianism and regarded "loyalty and filial piety" as the "soul" of the family, which was passed down from generation to generation. After the "Happy New Year", the whole family went out to sweep the graves and cherish the kindness of their ancestors.

South Korea also pays attention to family reunion during the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival in South Korea is a three-day holiday in law, with the fourth day of work, and some companies have longer holidays.
