Daeboreum (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".; lit. 'Great Full Moon') is a Korean holiday that celebrates the first full moon of the new year of the lunar Korean calendar. This holiday is accompanied by many traditions.

Origins

The record about the origin of Daeboreum is recorded in the book Samguk yusa, where it says that a crow led the 21st King of Silla, Soji to shoot the geomungo (a Korean instrument) case, which was actually where a monk and the royal concubine were committing adultery. After this happening, on the first day of the pig, rat and horse years, people had behaved prudently, and also the 15th of January was called 'Ogiil' (also spelled as 'Oguille') (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".) and offered sacrifice to heaven this day.[1] Also the origins of Daeboreum can be recognized by some customs listed in books, such as Samguk sagi and Silla-bongi (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".), describing of lantern lighting.[2] The lantern lighting custom in Daeboreum was inherited constantly; Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, the book of Taejong, 13th year has the record about the same custom clearly.[3]

The traditional foods of Daeboreum have a lot of connections with superstition.

  • People drink cold 'Guibargi Wine' in the morning, believing one will only hear good news all year round and will hear better.
  • The nutcracking that is described in the book, <Dongguk-sesigi (in Script error: No such module "Lang".)> has been widely spread not only in Korea but also in China and Japan, and it is being performed on New Year's Day, too.
  • There is also a custom of eating ogokbap (오곡밥 or chalbap, 찰밥) and yakbap (Script error: No such module "Lang".) around Daeboreum. Yakbap is made by steaming glutinous rice and mixing jujube, chestnut, pine nuts, oil, honey, and soy sauce together. In South Jeolla Province (Script error: No such module "Lang".), people steamed it with a 'siru' (Script error: No such module "Lang".) steamer and gave it to the castellan, so it is called 'castellan rice' or 'siru rice'.
  • People eat a lot of dinner early on the 14th and early on the morning of the 15th, which means to be diligent throughout the year. Also it is said that it is better to eat the food of the neighbors. This is called hometown rice (Script error: No such module "Lang".). If you make dinner late, you may lose a dinner to the invited neighbors, so people made an early dinner and invite the neighbors from 2 pm. Also in <Dongguksesigi (in Script error: No such module "Lang".)>, it is described about a similar tradition of 'Baekgaban' in South Jeolla Province – children go to get rice in the morning from the neighbors in Daeboreum. South Gyeongsang Province has the same tradition. They believe it is good for their health.
  • There is a tradition of eating a selection of certain seasoned vegetables referred to as boreum namul (보름 나물, or mugeun namul 묵은 나물) as well as bokssam (Script error: No such module "Lang".): Dishes made from dried vegetables, left over from the previous year (e.g. pumpkin leaves, radish greens, eggplant, mushrooms, ferns) are believed to enable one to cope with the heat in the next summer, when eaten on Daeboreum.[11] Eating bokssam, which is rice wrapped in leafy vegetables, is supposed to bring luck (bok, 복, 福).[12]
  • In South Jeolla Province, the barley rice is put into a bowl with herbs and placed on a straw or a wall to give to the crow. There is a similar report in North Jeolla Province and Chungbuk. The crow is now an ominous bird, but in the past, it was a sacred bird, also a symbol of the sun. 'crow's sacrifice' and 'crow's rice' are described in Samguk yusa.[10]
