    In South Korea, Tesp is the second largest festival after Chuseok Festival. During the Spring Festival, the most important activity is to worship ancestors. Koreans have a strict saying about ancestor worship, and there are rules such as "fish east and meat west", "head east and tail west", "red east and white west", "jujube, chestnut, pear and persimmon", "raw east and cooked west", "left rice and right soup" and other rules, and the sacrificial procedures are also very strict.

    Every year when the Spring Festival arrives, Korean women wear beautiful ethnic costumes and work in the kitchen from morning to night, and foreign girls who marry to Korea are also busy from morning to night like Korean women.

    After sacrificing the ancestors, the younger generations will pay New Year's greetings to the elders, and the elders will give the younger generations New Year's greetings money. During the Spring Festival, the greetings that people meet are "good fortunes in the 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, and the citizens' groups will organize to celebrate the Spring Festival for them, so that they can feel the warmth of the social family during the Spring Festival.

    Koreans often have to give each other gifts during the Spring Festival, and the range of gifts is very wide, such as steak, yellow croaker, traditional dim sum, healthy food, luncheon meat, sesame oil, mushrooms, persimmons, daily necessities, etc., the gifts must be wrapped, and the color of the package is mostly baby pink.

    Koreans' Spring Festival consumption has increased significantly compared to usual, and some goods are also**. Koreans like to use large and good fruits for sacrifices, and an apple or pear costs more than 2,000 won, or about 15 yuan. Non-staple foods such as beef, pork, vegetables, eggs, and chicken tend to average **10 to 40 during the festival, and South Korea often tries to stabilize market prices and ensure supply during the Spring Festival.

    The most famous food of the Spring Festival is the rice cake slice soup that you eat on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, symbolizing the reunion of the new year. Because most Koreans celebrate the New Year at home, almost all restaurants are closed for the Spring Festival.

    In South Korea, many people wear brightly colored traditional national costumes, and a few families drive to their hometowns, forming a typical Korean Spring Festival customs map. South Korea has a high penetration rate of private cars, and most people prefer to drive back to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year. South Koreans call returning home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival as "returning to the province".

    In the face of this "public movement", transportation and other departments are very busy.

    The most common thing that a family gets together during the Korean Spring Festival is the "flower card" imported from Japan. It is said that 90 percent of adults play this card. Of course, some people also take advantage of the Spring Festival vacation to travel.

    During the Korean Spring Festival, foreign tourists can experience activities such as springboarding, pot throwing, and kite flying, which are characteristic of traditional Korean culture, and can also spend the white Spring Festival at ski resorts all over Korea.

    You know how the Chinese celebrate the New Year, and if there are differences, you can compare them.

    The Korean Chinese New Year customs are:

    1. Paste Spring Festival couplets.

    Koreans also post couplets during the Chinese New Year, but their couplets are posted on the day of the beginning of spring. The most interesting thing is that our New Year's picture is festive, the couplets are all written in red and black, and the Korean Spring Festival couplets are written on big white paper. The white paper and black letters are pasted on both sides of the door, and we Chinese always feel strange when we look at it, as if there is something wrong with **.

    Koreans don't feel awkward and think it's traditional.

    2. Keep the year. Koreans, like us, do not sleep on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve and want to "keep the New Year". The family talked and laughed together, played games, and waited for the dawn to welcome the New Year. I remember that our song said "stay up for a night in the Chinese New Year's Eve", and the studious Koreans have also learned this matter.

    3. Sacrifice. Zhu Zi said: "Although the ancestors are far away, the sacrifice must not be sincere", the Koreans deeply believe our Zhu Zi's words, and attach great importance to the sacrifice.

    They believe that during the Spring Festival, the deceased ancestors will come back to spend the festival with their families, so Korean families will hold sacrifices during the Spring Festival to pay tribute to their ancestors and pray for their ancestors' blessings. It's the same with us.

    Fourth, New Year's greetings, New Year's money.

    Koreans also "prosper" to worship the New Year during the New Year, with the younger generations worshipping the elders and the younger ones worshipping the older ones. However, our New Year's greeting is almost the entire "year", from the first day of the new year to the fifteenth day of the new year, they can worship the new year for two days, that is, the two days of Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year. During the New Year's greetings, the elders will also give the children New Year's money, put it in an envelope, and the children will also happily collect it and keep it to buy what they like.

    5. Eat rice cake soup and wear hanbok.

    We will wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year and then go out to visit relatives. Our new clothes can be in a variety of styles, there is no uniform style, and Koreans will wear their traditional costume - hanbok on the day of the old Jeong. In this regard, I think Koreans are doing a good job, and wearing the traditional costumes of their country on special days is itself a sign of patriotism.

    South Korea also celebrates the Spring Festival, which is called Jiuzheng and is a traditional festival in South Korea, which is also known as "New Year's Day" in folk tradition.

    The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China, but during the Spring Festival, many people see it on TV, and many areas in South Korea are also putting up lights, so they want to know whether South Korea can celebrate the Spring Festival, let's find out together.

    01 Korean Spring Festival is also known as "Old Jeong", which corresponds to calling the New Year "Shinjeong", which means the old calendar year. The state stipulates that there will be a three-day holiday for the Spring Festival, which is the longest holiday in a year. In 1999, South Korea officially reinstated the Spring Festival.

    02 Since Korea is a country with a Chinese character cultural circle, there are many similarities between Chinese New Year customs and China. For example, in 2005, the year of the "Rooster", which Koreans call the "Year of the Dog", in 2006, the Year of the Dog, which Koreans call the Year of Bingxu, and in 2013, the Year of the Lunar Calendar.

    03 Koreans are relatively quiet during the Spring Festival, and shops are closed one after another, and the streets are very deserted. The difference between the two countries is that Chinese use red envelopes to form "red envelopes", while Koreans are accustomed to using white envelopes to press New Year's money.

    04 Koreans are particular about going home for the New Year, and they have something in common with China. No matter how far Koreans work in ** or how far away they are from their hometown, they have to rush back to their hometown to reunite during the Spring Festival. If the parents are there, return to the parents; If the parents are absent, the eldest brother is the father, and he goes to the eldest brother's house to reunite with the siblings.

    05 South Korea has been celebrating the Spring Festival since the Silla era, but during the Japanese colonial rule on the Korean Peninsula, it was strictly forbidden. At that time, if a child was found in a box of sacrificial food, the child would be punished. As a traditional festival, Spring Festival went through a process of "waiting" in South Korea until 1985, when it reappeared under the name of "Folk Day".

    1. Koreans also post Spring Festival couplets, but they are generally posted on the day of the beginning of spring, and black characters are written on white paper, much like the couplets of Chinese wreaths.

    2. The whole family eats rice cake soup, there are not only rice cakes in the soup, but also "steamed buns" (actually dumplings), and whoever eats the dumplings with coins in them will be blessed. (It's a little different from China).

    3. You can't sweep the floor on the first day of the Lunar New Year, saying that it will sweep away the blessings (China is saying that it will sweep away the money) Overall, the difference between the people of China and South Korea for the Spring Festival is not too big. o(∩_o~
