Korean tradition

Korean tradition emphasizes respect, family bonds, and community. Central practices include ancestral rites (jeongje), honoring ancestors through rituals, and Confucian values that prioritize hierarchy and filial piety. Celebrations like Chuseok (harvest festival) and Seollal (Lunar New Year) involve paying respects, feasting, and exchanging gifts. Traditional clothing such as hanbok is worn during special occasions. Korean cuisine features dishes like kimchi, rice, and barbecue, often shared communally. Respect for elders and reverence for tradition remain integral, blending historical practices with modern life to preserve cultural identity.
