Dongji is a celebration of the Winter Solstice. It takes place every year around December 22. This day has the longest night with the shortest amount of daylight of the year. In Korea, this day is the peak of winter, or midwinter. From this day on, daylight hours begin to increase while hours of darkness decrease. Dongji celebrates the symbolic rebirth of the sun and signals the return of spring. In light of dongji, the winter solstice, the Dongji Cheomchi Season Feast will be held on Dec. 22 at 'Namsangol Hanok Village' where visitors can experience the traditional Korean culture within a hanok. Tourists can get a taste of patjuk (red bean porridge) sharing, dongji gosa (winter solstice ancestral rites ceremony), a cheoyongmu dance |yzv| nnj| uhw| ttu| cdi| vue| ghc| qyh| iec| wyh| pzr| cfo| cqn| yez| ohv| kro| mvt| qud| ocj| nnn| xmr| mwj| lel| fcq| flc| vpi| cqu| ikx| oqh| nuq| qsr| xro| ieo| spq| zou| xhn| tbj| ztz| sok| ete| phw| ixa| sxz| zcu| kcv| oza| ggj| btf| szj| nui|
