2021-08-28 07:37:48 Hamjinabi involves a friend of the groom carrying a chest of gifts (ham,or 함) on his back to the house of the bride’s family, along with a dried squid mask to hide his identity and avoid evil spirits. The box must never touch the floor, and is eventually placed on top of a big pan of red bean rice cake.

Other friends travel with the hamjinabi on the way to the house, also wearing squid masks. Before entering the house, however, the group must step on a wooden ladle, breaking it to scare the last of the ghosts away and to wish that the first born child of the bride and groom is a boy.

Especially when eating with other people, avoid sticking your chopsticks into your rice. In traditional Asian culture (not just Korean), people usually stick incense sticks upright in a bowl of sand at funerals for ancestor worship and it is believed to be food for the spirits. Sticking your chopsticks in a bowl of rice reminds people of that. Are you trying to say your friends at the table are already dead? Of course this is only a superstition, but avoid doing it in case you get a big scolding or uncomfortable looks from your friends and family Open / Comment

So it is your friend’s birthday and you are considering what to buy him/her as a gift. Whatever you do, do not buy someone a clock as a gift as it is very bad luck. As the two Chinese characters of ‘giving a clock’ (to give is 送; clock is 钟) actually means tending to a wake and a funeral. Open / Comment
