The traditional agricultural festivals of Korean people in Jilin and Liaoning provinces in the northeast of China are held on the 15th day of the first lunar month. On holiday nights, Koreans from all over the country have to "step on the bridge" on the nearby bridge. According to their age, people count the number of times on the bridge to respond. At both ends of the bridge, night markets are often set up for trading, and people who stamp on the bridge can stroll around and buy some snacks.
During the festival, Korean families drink conga wine, take medicine or eat whole grains rice. Medicinal rice is cooked with jujube, persimmon, pine nuts, chestnut kernels, honey and sweet potatoes, and then cooked with slow fire. As the saying goes, "taking medicine to eat on the fifteenth day of the first month is difficult to cure diseases and strengthen the body." "Five-grain rice" is made of glutinous rice, rhubarb rice, rice, millet and Mi Dou, and is blessed by its fable "Five grains are abundant". The meaning of drinking "Kanger wine" is that people can hear and see clearly. I won't get ear disease for a year, and I often hear good news.
In the past, the games of Shangyuan Festival included "Torch War", "Car War" and "Tug of War". Torch warfare, that is, fighting, depends on whose torch is lit for a long time; Car battle is when two ox carts collide to see who is stronger; When pulling the river, divide people into two groups, each group grabs a hemp rope and drags the other into its own circle to win. When doing this kind of entertainment, the whole village is full of men and women, or taking part in competitions, or beating gongs, drums and flutes to cheer, which is very lively. Winners sing and dance to celebrate their victory.
