Samjilnal (\uc0bc\uc9c8\ub0a0<\/strong>) is known as one of those special occasions that fall under the category of seshi pungsok (\uc138\uc2dc\ud48d\uc18d<\/strong>).\u00a0 Seshi pungsok (\uc138\uc2dc\ud48d\uc18d<\/strong>) is a term used to describe festivals that are celebrated with the change in seasons.\u00a0 Samjilnal (\uc0bc\uc9c8\ub0a0<\/strong>) is considered an auspicious day because it’s celebrated on the third day of the third month (March).\u00a0 The number three is designated a lucky number.\u00a0 The number three is considered a umyang (\uc74c\uc591<\/strong>) number, which is considered a positive number.<\/p>\n

Samjilnal (\uc0bc\uc9c8\ub0a0<\/strong>) is now an almost obsolete festival.\u00a0 You really only see it celebrated in the countryside.\u00a0 To usher in the springtime, people play a game called hwajun nori (\ud654\uc804\ub178\ub9ac<\/strong>).\u00a0 Hwajun nori (\ud654\uc804\ub178\ub9ac<\/strong>) is a game where you have to pick fresh azaleas called jindalle (\uc9c4\ub2ec\ub798<\/strong>) and mix it with glutinous rice with a frying pan called bulchul (\ubc8c\ucca0<\/strong>).\u00a0 Whoever makes the best flower cake wins.\u00a0 You can’t cheat by buying the cakes at the store, so you have to have mad cooking skills to win this!<\/p>\n

The typical drink on samjilnal (\uc0bc\uc9c8\ub0a0<\/strong>) is hwache (\ud654\ucc44<\/strong>).\u00a0 Hwache (\ud654\ucc44<\/strong>) is a Korean fruit punch made from azalea petals, mung bean starch, honey and water.\u00a0 (Notice a pattern here…azaleas).\u00a0 There’s no alcohol in hwache (\ud654\ucc44<\/strong>).\u00a0 It’s simply a cold refreshing drink.\u00a0 Some people have allergies to azaleas and flowers in general, so they don’t drink hwache (\ud654\ucc44<\/strong>).\u00a0 Instead, they’ll drink omijacha (\uc624\ubbf8\uc790\ucc28<\/strong>), which is a\u00a0tea made from wild berries.<\/p>\n

I’m sure everyone is busy, but just remember to take a little time to enjoy the coming of spring.\u00a0 Once spring is here, it goes by so fast, and you don’t want to regret not enjoying at least a little of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
