Jesa. table of ancestral rites
In Korea, we make special food tables to celebrate holidays or honor our ancestors.
These rituals have a unique Korean bow.🙇🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♀️(Precise, it is used in East Asia and Buddhist cultures)
So I added that "Unique Korean bow" image to each of the ritual items.
There are various meanings and methods in the arrangement and direction of each item.
Rather than showing the perfect Korean tradition, I think it would be good to enjoy it to the extent that it shows that there is such a thing.
Ancestral tablet ;A place to honor the spirits of ancestors.
candlesticks and incense ;The purpose is to create a pure space where the spirits of ancestors can descend and sit down
and it is an act of making the spirits smell the scent and come visit them.
The fruit was served by cutting the top, which is said to have been cut off because the soul thought it could not intervene in matter.
The spoon is inserted vertically into the rice, which serves as a guide for the ancestral soul to eat.
Red beans were thought to ward off evil spirits and bad luck.
Since the ancestral spirit was also a kind of spiritual ghost, it is said that the skin of red beans was peeled and used for rituals.
