Kapanlagi.com - Birthdays are indeed a joyous moment to celebrate growing older. But what about celebrating the birthday of a 1-year-old? The moment must be really cute. This 1-year-old birthday celebration is also an important moment for Korean people.
This celebration of a 1-year-old child's birthday in Korea is called Doljanchi. Doljanchi originated from the poor economy of Korea at that time, resulting in a high infant mortality rate before reaching the age of 1. This celebration is a plea from parents for their baby's long life.
Unlike the usual birthday celebrations we know, Doljanchi does not involve balloons, birthday cakes, or the usual familiar atmosphere and items. Doljanchi actually resembles a wedding party in Korea.
There is a significant moment called Doljabi in the celebration of a 1-year-old baby's birthday in Korea. During Doljabi, parents hope that their child will have a good future.
In the Doljabi moment, parents prepare several items in a tray placed in front of their child. The items provided have meanings related to the career path the child may choose.

The items provided are up to the parents. Each item has its own meaning. The items usually prepared include money bills, money pouch, or rice, which symbolize the child's future luck or wealth if chosen. If the child chooses a cake, it means they will become an official. Choosing a thread means the child will have a long life. There are also other items such as a stethoscope, brush, book, computer mouse, microphone, and others.
What makes it even cuter is that the birthday child is dressed in traditional Korean clothing. To liven up the Doljanchi atmosphere, relatives and parents' friends also come. The dishes served also have their own characteristics, such as tteok (rice cake), seaweed soup (miyeok guk), and fruits.
