Chuseok (추석), is the Korean version of Thanksgiving and is celebrated on the 15th day of the 9th month according to the lunar calendar. The exact day changes each year, but it’s typically in September and October. This year, it will be on the 21th of September, and Korea have a three-day holiday.
In India, there is similar tradition known as 'Pitra Maasa', meaning ancestor fortnight. During these days people perform ritual to offer food to their ancestors.
And it's starting this year exactly on Chuseok day!!!
We celebrate Thanksgiving here also
@ shadanion 9843. We are talking about chuseok culture in Korea not India please stop.

💜💜💜🤗 Have a good Chuseok to everyone celebrating the holiday. Stay safe and eat well. 🤗💜💜💜💜
In India we have a similar tradition of offering food for our ancestors
Yes. Most of traditions in Korea are similar to Indian ones. Like respecting elderly by saying bhaiya or didi and there we have Hyung and Noona.
Happy Chuseok to all Koreans 🥺❤️ my Korean friends here in the U.S also celebrate it

Thank you for this amazing video. In my country, Vietnam, this holiday is called Mid-Autumn Festival and we have the traditional food for this holiday which is named Moon Cake.
totally same in China，even the English translation
@@user-ng9uh5iy9s I disagree with you

Haha ARMY, how are u feeling??💜
추석 잘 보내세요
It's similar to incian tradition !! We have a similar festival to !! 💕
That's kind of cool that it's 3 days and is on a full moon. In the US Thanksgiving can be kind of boring as you get older and the following day is hyped up Christmas shopping. I guess we can get Thursday, Friday and the weekend off though. Does 추석 still feel special as you get older, or does it feel more like an obligation I wonder? Holidays in my family have lost their appeal as we grew older, and I still don't have the family I'll create one day to celebrate with.
@@andresmattos7541 same
depends on the family and individual. it’s what you make of it. some people aren’t big holiday people, and some are.
Korean Unnie is best moderator!🧡
Chuseok is Korean Thanksgiving, but to us is a full moon festival for Chinese.
The Chinese Thanksgiving use to gathering at winter solstice Festival
After this, Chinese people will celebrate Lunar New Spring.
Oh thank you Unnie ❤️
Thanks unnie!! Did not know this but always wondered. Favorite holiday for me has been Halloween.... so scary!
Korea😍👌👍👏👏👏
Kpop idols brought me here. Glad I’m learning some worldly knowledge 💚💙
In 2022, Chuseok will be on 10th Sept, the same date of beginning of Pitru Paksha ( 15 days Lunar wanning phase) in India. While in Korean Chuseok is for 1 day (holiday for 3 days), in India it a period of 15days from the Full moon to New Moon. Chuseok is celebrated on the Full Moon, Pitru Paksha begins on Full moon and lasts 15 days period of waning of moon, it signifies that life is fleeting and quick reminder to everyone of an impending death, for death is inevitable. It is create a humbling experience for everyone and hence marked with pay homage/ remembrance of death / ancestors.
One of the most striking similarity between Chuseok meal and Shraddha bhog/ offering for the ancestors in India is- RICE. In Korea, they are called Songpyeon, while in India the rice balls seasoned with clarified butter (Ghee) with black sesame seeds - called Pinda are the main offerings.
One major difference is- Koreans treat Chuseok as celebration and period of festivities. In India, it is consider remembrance of ancestors and contemplating on death, the ultimate end. It is also inauspicious period and no new beginning happen during this 15 day period, so no traditional Hindu weddings, no baby showers, no starting new business or ventures.
Also, unlike in Korean, in India Pitru Paksha/ Shradda feast is not advertised or promoted, it is a very private family affair marked by presence of immediate family and relatives. People typically do not discuss or talk about Shradda feast with friends, colleagues, business associates or classmates.
*When I say Indians, I mean Hindus Indian here.
Very informative, thank you so much.
The representative food (rice cakes) for both the festivals are alike. Only the names differ. While Koreans prepare ‘Songpyeon’ (moon-shaped rice cake filled with stuffing), people in India make ‘Pithas’ (rice cakes with sesame seeds and other fillings). The harvest holiday period in Korea is made joyful through entertainment and games such as samulnori (traditional percussion quartet), and ganggangsullae (traditional Korean circle dance). Similarly, during the Bihu celebrations in India, women dance in circles to celebrate the abundant harvest in a performance called ‘Mukoli Bihu’. 👍👍👍
Look up Tamil princess and Korea and there you’ll find your answers
@@dylanryu4110 okay. 👍👍👍
Wow we also same traditional in India that amazing
Wow.really appreciate your nice explaining 💜
*Hi Everyone How are you*

*HAVE A GOOD GREAT HAPPY CHUSEOK* *And*
*Okay Bye Take Care See You*
*To All*
Happy Chuseok Holiday Unnie
“While watching a Korean show that introduced Chuseok traditions, I was taken aback to see how similar Chuseok is to our Indian festival ‘Bihu’. Though it is not much of a shock to find cultural similarities between Korea and some parts of India, as Assam (a state in Northeast India). “Just like Chuseok is a celebration of the autumn harvest in Korea, ‘Rongali Bihu in India is also celebrated to enjoy a good harvest season. To my surprise, the traditions performed and foods shared during both festivals also have a lot in common".
Agreed.... I am from Assam!!!
@@vaskerbania3547 Yes.
Happy Chuseok Day to all koreans celebrating
주석 잘 보내세요.
The Indian ‘Mukoli Bihu’ dance is similar to Korea’s ganggangsullae wherein women dance in circles to celebrate a good harvest. People in both countries share fresh harvest and gifts with loved ones, and visit their ancestors to seek their blessings during these festivals. Both Korea and India preserve their rich and vibrant cultural values and traditions to date. “We might be afar, but we are culturally not that different after all". Am I right?, korean Unni...
Wowwwww
Yeah, we have something similar in the USA. It's called THANKSGIVING, celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November! We usually have a family gathering with turkey and all kinds of fruit & vegetable dishes & desserts.
If your immediate family lives across the country like mine, then you find your closest relatives and/or friends who are like family and celebrate with them.
We don't worship our ancestors, but we do remember & honor them by talking about them. Some of us also share things that we're thankful for, such as our families and/or friends, good health, homes, plenty of food, jobs, free country, etc.
This holiday is based on the Pilgrims that came over on the Mayflower to escape religious & political tyranny. They established a colony based on tenets that perpetuated freedoms that Americans still have today. These people would've totally died off had it not been for a kind-hearted Native American named Squanto.
All these things used to be taught in school, but not much anymore. I think most of us have forgotten our roots, and in turn, have forgotten to teach our children why we became a country.
On a side note, Canada has a similar holiday, but celebrates on the 2nd Monday of October. This day is to celebrate the harvest & other blessings from the past year.
Happy Chinese mid autumn festival to all of our friends worldwide 🇨🇳🎑
祝大家中秋节快乐🎑
@@sara.cbc92 all of Eastern Asia celebrates lunar new year
@@gwenmloveskpopandmore because they copied it from the Chinese you idiot.
@@gwenmloveskpopandmore we have no problem with other countries celebrating Chinese festivals except they are claiming those festivals belong to them and even have the balls to apply the list of world heritage
🙂모두 즐거운 추석 보내세요 .
Our holiday is Eid💖 thank you so much for you video🤗 this is Korean holiday💖
My little sister's birthday is on September 21st. Autumn starts around this time, too.
I love Korea!!!
No thanksgiving in UK
Yeah USA 🇺🇸 and Korea are the only holidays like these. I think the uk just have Christmas, New Years, Halloween, and Boxing Day
It has similarities to American Thanksgiving where you spend time with family and celebrate the bountiful amount of food from the harvest, but that's about it. In the US we don't really have a holiday where we venerate those that have passed before.
Well unless your Mexican cause they have day of the dead
As Chinese-American, we celebrate our ancestors in the Spring (usually around 1st week of April) on Qingming day. I remember growing up my father used to make yearly trips back to Mainland China for this holiday so he could visit my grandfather's & grandmother's tombs.
Thanks for worshipping a Chinese man Confucius as your God, master, teacher. He taught Korea how to be a civilized country.
While Korea preserved it well, China destroyed its own culture. '文化大革命'
@@user-pq3gd9oh5e Koreans preserved their native Bacchus and Tongsul culture well
@@mrrm5280 Regardless of the fashion of clothes in the Han Dynasty, it is true that Chinese people destroyed tens of thousands of Chinese cultural properties such as 大禹廟, 孔令貽, 孔墓, 佛香閣, 醫聖祠, 岳廟, 醉翁亭, 少林寺, 鐵跪像, 何騰蛟 佛像, 老子講經台道館, 康有为坟, 白馬寺, 儒家, 佛教 etc. on their own, and countless cultural assets still cannot be restored.
@@user-pq3gd9oh5e but your ancestors spoke and write in chinese but you?LOL, talking about forsaken tradition and culture
Sino S.N.O.T and Korean Cockchaser spend more time on Korean YT channels than on Chinese channels. Can't blame them. I wouldn't want to waste my time watching Chinese propaganda videos.

we have a day in christianity as all souls day for the ancestral souls to go to heaven. but still, i don't know much bout the significance of that prayer service at church , we normally have schools on that day so mostly students don't get to go
