Hi~ This is Admin Ju. Today I'm going to introduce you about ์ถ์
์ถ์, which Koreans love, has delicious food and various games. It is too bad to enjoy it alone, so I'm going to introduce it you. First I will briefly explain about ์ถ์(Chuseok) and introduce ์กํธ(Songpyeon), the epitome of ์ถ์(Chuseok), and other foods .And then I will explain about the Chuseok's play at the end.
์ถ์ is one of the holidays of Korea. ์ถ์ is on August 15 of the lunar calendar. It is said that Chuseok originated from the Silla Gabae. Also Chuseok is the day when we prepare food and perform ancestral rites. If you interpret ์ถ์ literally, it means that the moonlight of autumn is the best night. So ์ถ์ means a holiday when the moon is particularly bright.ย
Next, The holiday food of ์ถ์ is ์กํธ (Songpyeon). it is cooked when people hold memorial service for their ancestors and prepare some food for service. They cook for their ancestors and hold ceremony, and then people share foods with their families, relatives, and neighbors. The date of eating ์กํธ is little bit different for each region. Then, How to make ์กํธ? First, knead rice flour and make a round shape with cinnamon powder, sesame, chestnut, jujube, etc. according to one's taste. And then steam them well for 15minutes. There are other foods that you can eat with ์กํธ on ์ถ์. They are ํ ๋๊ตญ, ํ์์ , and ๋๋ฆ์ . ํ ๋๊ตญ( Toran soup ) is a food that is boiled by mixing kelp and beef. ํ์์ ( Hwayangieok ) is a food that is seasoned with mushrooms, bellflower roots and beef, then roasted and put on skewers.ย Also the method of making ๋๋ฆ์ isย similar to making ํ์์ , but ๋๋ฆ์ is baked with eggs and flour. These foods are served on the table with ์กํธ.
The last thing I want to introduce is some plays when we are on ์ถ์, they are ๊ฐ๊ฐ์ ๋(Ganggangsulae) , ์ค๋ค๋ฆฌ๊ธฐ (Tug-of-war) , ๊ธฐ๋ง์ธ์, etc. Although there are many games, I will just introduce about ๊ฐ๊ฐ์ ๋(Ganggangsulae). ๊ฐ๊ฐ์ ๋ is a game that is likened to the moon that symbolizes abundance. The way to play is to play with several people holding hands and singing "๊ฐ๊ฐ์ ๋~ ๊ฐ๊ฐ์ ๋"( Ganggangsulae~ Ganggangsulae) while drawing a circle under the full moon.
Did you learn the fun of Chuseok through this post?
If you come to Korea on Chuseok, I hope you try it and experience it.
