Korean Mid-Autumn Festival what to do When is the Korean Mid-Autumn Festival and customs

1. Koreans call the Mid-Autumn Festival "Autumn Eve". It is one of the most important festivals in Korea, and from the 14th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the whole country will take three days off in succession to celebrate the festival.

2. The most important part of the festival is that the whole family gathers at the grandparents' house to pay homage to their ancestors, and then the whole family dances and enjoys the moon. Girls wear colorful traditional costumes and play the ancient game of springboard. Korea also has a unique mid-autumn food, muffins. Muffins are shaped like a half-moon, made of rice flour and filled with bean paste, date paste, etc. They are named after the pine hairs that are used to steam them, and they are steamed and given to each other during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The fifteenth day of the eighth month of the Korean lunar calendar is called the "Autumn Festival", which is also known as the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival.

3. Autumn Festival can be said to be the most important traditional festival of the year for Koreans, a festival of harvest and thanksgiving, even more solemn than the Spring Festival (lunar New Year). The Korean "Mid-Autumn Festival" originated in China, but has changed over the course of its long history. When Chinese people celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, it is mainly for family reunion, and those who can't have reunion also pay attention to Qianli***Chan Juan. The Korean Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to family reunions, is also a day to remember the kindness of ancestors, and more importantly, ancestor worship and grave sweeping.

4. Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Korea stages a spectacular "national migration", just like China's Spring Festival. Train and bus tickets are difficult to buy, for the average family has 1.5 cars in Korea, many people are driving private cars back home, so the highway traffic jam is very serious.
