    CHUSEOK

    Made by: Merv e Miraç Kurt


    What is Chuseok?
    Chuseok means “the great middle of autumn” as a word.
    Chuseok is almost like Korean equivalent of Thanksgiving.
    It’s major mid -autumn harvest festival and three-day holiday celebrated on 15th day of
    8thmonth of lunar calendar.
    It also holds significance for the big religions in Korea like; Buddhism, Confucianism and
    Mu-ism.(aka. Korean Shamanism)
    How do they celebrate chuseok?
    ◦ Well all because it’s a harvest festival they of course do harvest feasts with rice wine
    and songpyeon( which is Korean rice cake representative of Korean holiday and
    tradition) and much more delicious Korean traditional foods.
    ◦ They visit family and relatives during that holiday and spend time with them.
    ◦ They do rites such as Charye(aka. Jesa) and Seongmyo
    What is Charye and Seongmyeo?
    Charye(aka Jesa) functions as a memorial the ancestors of participants. Essentially, Jesa
    serves as a bridge between the living and the dead ancestors, emphasizing the
    importance of familial and ancestral connections in Korean society. The rituals typically
    involve the preparation of specific foods, drinks, and other symbolic items, which are
    prepared accordingly to the ancestors’ liking when they were alive. (It does not have to
    be for one person only)
    Seongmyeo is basically family visiting to ancestoral graves and the participants usually
    performs a rite by bowing to ancestors’ spirit.
    Fun facts about Chuseok
    ◦ When chuseok happens life basically stops in Korea shops are being closed and work
    life stops and every Korean enjoys their holidays with their relatives.
    ◦ Gift-giving is an essential custom of Chuseok of modern times. People take the
    opportunity to show their appreciation to family and friends, and important people,
    both personal and work-related. Companies give gifts to employees. In the 60s, people
    used to share daily necessities such as sugar, soap, or condiments, but as the economy
    developed, so did the gift options.
