Korea celebrations

introduction

Korea has an interesting holiday. Seollal, chuseok, buddah’s birthday...I will teach you celebr
ations but before you read, what is the difference/similarly things? Well, first the differe
nce is the date is different and also when we celebrate, we do different things. the similar
things are, first it is made by Korea and it is almost made in long ago. Then, lets go through
the celebrations!

Seollal

  Korea celebrate the international new year and Seollal. Seollal means ‘the lunar new year’.
We celebrate Seollal on January or February by visiting home towns or vacationing at
resorts. In that day, We enjoy a meal of tteokguk (sliced-rice-cake soup), typically made of
garaetteok, a long, cylindrical-shaped rice cake. We eat garaetteok for luck, health, and a
long life.

Buddah’s birthday

   While today only about 24 percent of Koreans consider themselves Buddhist, Buddha's
birthday is celebrated by those of all faiths. On Buddha's birthday (the eighth day of the
fourth lunar month), temples are decorated with pink lotus-shaped lanterns, and they offer
special services and meals. At lantern festivals across the country, people write wishes on
paper and attach them to the lanterns. Buddhists also worship Buddha and offer prayers in
the temple.

Chuseok

   You may hear Chuseok once, or if you don’t know well read this paragraph! Chuseok
(a harvest festival that is often compared to the U.S. Thanksgiving) is an important family
holiday, celebrated on the fifteenth day of August on the lunar calendar, though like Seollal,
celebrations span the day before and after the holiday. Family members visit ancestral tom
bs to clean the grave sites and leave food offerings in honor of the dead. Large family reun
ions are common during this festival. People visit their hometowns and enjoy traditional mea
ls such as songpyeon (half-moon-shaped rice cakes steamed on top of a layer of pine needles).

Korea's Problems Japan needs to apologize to Korea because Japan did bad thing to Korea. A long time ago, Japan was stronger than Korea. When the Joson's (Korea was called Joson long ago.) last king 'Kojong' was alive, Japan killed M yung-sung-hwang-hu, and did not let Kojong go to his father's grave. Kojong The second one is Japan keeps saying Dokdo is their land but actually Dokdo is Korea's land because Dokdo is closer to Korea than Japan. Second, a long time ago, a person in Korea signed a page called ‘Dokdo is Korea land’ and Japan agreed. On that day, Japan also agreed we would not go to Dokdo and catch fish but the Japanese kept catching fish. But they didn’t promise and catching fish. Japan also didn’t catch fish, they also caught another animals. So some animals on Korea is not anymore in the world. But we know why Japanese keep saying Dokdo is there land because if the have Dokdo, they have almost the East Sea. Japan ...

He made it because the nations had a hard time memorizing the Chinese language.  effect Sejong thought ‘many people can’t speak...huh…’ so he made a new language called ‘Hangul’. Hangul is 24 letters(the 10 words are vowels). conclusion Sejong worked hard so he could make Hangul. If he didn’t work hard(or think about the people in his land) Hangul couldn't born.
