Daejeon Municipal Museum to Hold "Kite Flying and Ssangnyuk Board Game Experience Event"
From February 20 to 21 and 27 to 28
Organized as a hands-on program in which families, including elementary school students, can participate
The Daejeon Municipal Museum will hold a "Kite Flying and Ssangnyuk Board Game Experience Event," where visitors can experience traditional seasonal customs, from February 20 to 28 to celebrate Jeongwol Daeboreum, the first full moon of the lunar year.
This event has been prepared to reflect on the meaning of Jeongwol Daeboreum, when people would drive away misfortune for the year and pray for blessings. It is organized as a hands-on program in which families, including elementary school students, can participate.
Outdoors, participants can enjoy kite flying by sending kites they have made themselves up into the sky, while indoors they can easily and familiarly encounter traditional play culture through experiencing Ssangnyuk, one of the representative board games enjoyed by our ancestors.
Kite flying is one of the representative customs of Jeongwol Daeboreum, in which people write their New Year wishes on kites and let them ride the wind, carrying the meaning of warding off misfortune and praying for peace throughout the year.
Although the exact origin and history of Ssangnyuk are not clearly documented, literature and paintings suggest that it is a very old game, characterized by strategic elements that use a game board and dice. Through the game, participants can naturally understand the leisure culture and ways of thinking of people in those times.
