Clan members have the same money and property. They get together once a year and take this opportunity to discuss, for example, the maintenance of ancestral graves. When Koreans meet for the first time, people with the same surname always ask each other if they are of the same clan. If they are from the same clan, they should also consult the genealogy to understand the intimacy of the other party's relationship with themselves. If the other person is an elder, he will often visit and use honorific terms to show respect. In traditional Korean society, the elderly are respected for their knowledge and experience, and young people must consciously follow this in their behavior. In public gatherings, social occasions, banquet hotels, who should pay tribute to whom first, who should sit in which position, who should sit first, and who should toast to whom first, these rules are known to everyone from an early age and will not be confused, otherwise they will be considered vulgar and lack of family education.

Korean traditional wedding etiquette steps 1 whole process: at the entrance, the groom and his parents in traditional dresses stand on the right, and the parents of the bride stand on the left and greet the guests with a smile. After signing in, I entered the wedding hall and sat down. In front of me stands a house that imitates ancient architecture. There is a room in it. That's a room specially prepared for the bride. The master of ceremonies invited the mothers of the two families to light candles on the stage. Then, the mother of the bride enters the preparation room and sits with the bride, while the mother of the groom returns to her original seat. Step 2: At this time, the groom enters the venue on a big horse (sometimes with a pair of mandarin ducks). According to the rules, he went to the front of the hut and gave his mother-in-law a big gift, and her mother-in-law responded that she agreed to this marriage. At this time, the bride in a beautiful traditional dress raised her hands to her eyebrows and walked out slowly, with a white silk forging printed with "the combination of two surnames" on her feet. There are two rouge marks on the bride's beautiful face, one on the left, one on the right and one on her eyebrows. Step 3: The bride and groom salute each other. After sitting cross-legged with two big gifts, the bride folded her hands and bent forward to the ground. The groom returned a big gift. The next emcee explained that the smallest number representing Yin is 2 and the smallest number representing Yang is 1, so the bride made two gifts and the groom returned one. Step 4: Congratulations to the performance and guest representatives. The wonderful program is "throwing hens". Two men are standing beside the bride and groom, hunched over and holding a hen in one hand. The two men opposite are going to pick up chickens. The emcee shouted "one, two, three" and the chicken was thrown out. The two men across the street caught the flying chicken accurately. At this time, everyone shouted together: "The bride and groom have more children, and they will be together for a hundred years!" In the laughter of the guests, the wedding was over.
