CULTURAL HERITAGE OF KOREANS LIVING IN SURKHANDARYA: RICE-RELATED TRADITIONS AND RITUALS
Ulgozi Ashurova ,Abstract
This article examines the role of rice in traditional Korean customs and rituals. From birth to weddings, harvest celebrations, and funeral ceremonies, rice has served not only as a staple food but also as a symbol of blessing, prosperity, and ancestral respect. Traditions such as “Baekil” (100-day celebration), “Paebaek” (post-wedding ceremony), and “Chuseok” (harvest festival) vividly demonstrate the significance of rice in Korean culture. This study provides a broad insight into Korean national values and the cultural practices related to rice rituals.
