650 XXXII Международный Конгресс по источниковедению и историографии стран Азии и Африки Секция XVI Unexpectedly, the adiba polyz product focuses on pumpkin, which is used equally with garlic in Korean cuisine: « 더위가 퍼지기 전 이른 아침 이슬이 고인 풍성한 이파리 밑에 수줍게 누워 있는 애호박의 날씬하고도 요염한 자태를 발견했을 때의 희열은 또 어떻고. 못생긴 걸 호 박에 비기는 건 아무것도 모르는 도시 사람들이 지어낸 말이다. 늙은 호박에 비한 거 라고 해도 그건 불공평하다. 사람도 의당 늙은이하고 비교해야 할진대 사람의 노후 가 늙은 호박 만큼만 넉넉하고 쓸모 있다면 누가 늙음을 두려워하랴 » 1 . «How wonderful is the joy when you find a thin and beautiful pumpkin lying under a dewy leaf early in the morning before the heat of the day!An ugly person was invented by townspeople who didn’t know anything about comparing a pumpkin to a pumpkin.

Despite the prohibitions, some families in the city celebrated the New Year twice in one year. In rural areas, the celebration of the New Year is extended for a long time. It took almost a month to sew a NewYear’s dress, cook obaki, cook rice, prepare tofu, butcher a pig together in several households, knead dough, and prepare various dishes. At the same time, during this period, rituals such as commemorating the past, bowing to the elders to congratulate them with the New Year, telling fortunes to the shaman, playing various folk games suitable for age and gender, gathering together around the table were held. It really reminded me of a peasant festival. At this time, the calendar issued by the meteorological station was distributed.
