Chuseok in South Korea is an important traditional festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month every year, similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. It is a day for family reunion and expressing gratitude for the harvest. On this day, many South Koreans return to their hometowns to spend the festival with their loved ones. People usually wear Hanbok and hold a ceremony to pay homage to their ancestors, known as the "tea Ceremony", offering newly harvested rice, fruits, wine and other items to their forefathers to express their respect and gratitude.

In addition to paying homage to ancestors, family members also make pancakes together (송편), a half-moon-shaped rice cake made from freshly ground rice flour, filled with sesame, red beans or chestnuts, symbolizing reunion and harvest. The process of making muffins is often filled with a warm family atmosphere. Elders will demonstrate and tell traditional customs at the same time, allowing the younger generation to understand the importance of cultural inheritance.

During Chuseok, a variety of folk activities are held across Korea, such as the traditional games like the qiangqiang water dance (강강술래), wrestling competitions and archery, adding to the festive atmosphere. In addition, many people also take this opportunity to visit famous mountains, ancient temples or scenic spots to enjoy the pleasant climate and beautiful natural scenery of autumn.

With the development of The Times, although the pace of life of some urban residents has accelerated and some traditional customs have been simplified, Chuseok, as one of the most important traditional festivals in South Korea, is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, carrying respect and gratitude for family, ancestors and nature. No matter how the form changes, the core significance of family reunion remains unchanged.
