Right after the new year day comes another big day, the first full moon of the year. The Koreans celebrate with the special dances to wish for good harvests for the coming year during the day and with fire at night. I remember making holes in a can and hang long strings so I could swing the can around in the air with twigs burning in the can. Oh, the boys had so much fun running through the town spinning the cans of fire. Unfortunately they would start many fires accidentally because the strings would break the cans could fly away.
The grown-ups used to say you would wet the bed that night if you play with fire. I still wonder if that's true.
I was at a market on the first new moon day and watched a team of dancers blessing businesses... They took offerings but didn't demand. Good to see some traditions are still carried on.. I heard some towns have barn fires at night but didn't know one close by.
