The Chuseok festival in Korea is characterized by unique traditions such as ancestral rites called Charye, where families honor their ancestors with special meals. Traditional foods like songpyeon rice cakes and freshly harvested produce are integral to the celebrations. It is also a time for families to gather, engage in reunions, and share stories, reinforcing family bonds and cultural identity. With its focus on gratitude and remembrance, Chuseok emphasizes the importance of family heritage and the impact of agricultural cycles on community life.
