Emphasis on 'simplification' for Lunar New Year's Day...

"Resolving Family Conflicts"


'Excessive preparation for the holiday table' is one of the main causes of holiday stress for both women and men.



In fact, due to the preparation of the ancestral rites for the holidays, it has spread to family discord and generational conflicts among men and women of all ages.



Sungkyunkwan, who said before last year's Chuseok, that it is not necessary to send Jeon, advised again on the 16th ahead of this year's New Year's Day to keep the table simple.



The table of contents presented by Sungkyunkwan as an example is as follows.

On New Year's Day, rice cake soup is served instead of songpyeon served during Chuseok, and nine other foods are served, including vegetables, grilled meat, kimchi, alcohol (glass), and four kinds of fruits.



Sungkyunkwan added, “There is no fixed type of fruit to serve on the charye table, so you can choose comfortably, and you don’t have to make it difficult to fry the pancakes.”



In fact, according to the ancestral rites specified in the Jujagarye, which is a guideline for ceremonies, the original charye food was simple.



Kim Mi-yeong, senior researcher at the Korea Institute for the Advancement of Korean Studies, said, "With the economic leeway, the thought of treating and serving ancestors well has gradually led to excessive ancestral rites." I was wary of that,” he pointed out.



He said, "If we revive the original appearance of the table, we can keep the etiquette and resolve the family conflict over the preparation of the table," he said.
