Lunar new year
We have 2 new year holidays in korea. One is New year of western calendar and the other is the Lunar holiday. Actually I don't know why we insist the lunar new year. It maybe some kind of effort to keep our traditional things.
we usually eat some rice cake soup called "Tteok-kuk' on this day to pray for good health ,long life and rich year as well. So then why eating 'Tteokuk means those positive things ? it has been from very ancient times from korea.
'Tteok' means a kind of rice cake which looks white and long such as Sugar sticks ( actually we slice up it when cook and put them into the soup) .
People believe the whiteness and the longness of it would bring them long and good thing.
