Do you know ‘Chuseok’(추석)?
Chuseok, originally known as Hangawi (한가위, from archaic Korean literally meaning "the great middle"),
is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in Korea.
This year, it will be celebrated from the 11th to 13th of September.
On Chuseok, one of the most widely celebrated holidays in Korea,
Koreans pay respects to their ancestors with newly harvested food,
and enjoy eat songpyeon (송편, traditional rice cakes) with family members and friends.
The full moon is celebrated in order to wish everyone good luck for the coming year,
as Chuseok originated from ancient shamanistic celebrations.
