Seollal, Korean New Year, is a major national holiday in South Korea celebrated on the second new moon after the winter solstice. This tradition has its roots in Confucianism and is closely linked to the Chinese zodiac, with each year being associated with a specific animal. The celebrations usually last three days and include activities such as gift-giving, playing traditional folk games such as yut nori, eating tteokguk (rice cake soup) and wearing hanbok, the traditional Korean clothing. Special customs include the "Sebae" ritual, a deep bow as a sign of respect for elders, and "Charye", an ancestor worship ceremony. Seollal is a festival of unity, reflection and respect that brings Korean culture and community together.
