Chuseok and Seollal are the two biggest holidays. On Chuseok people visit ancestral graves to thank their ancestors for a good harvest and well-being of the family. Special foods for Chuseok are songpyeon(crescent-shaped rice cakes) and torantang(taro soup). Songpyeon is a rice cake hand-filled with one of many fillings made of bean, chestnut, jujube or sweetened sesame seeds, and steamed on a bed of pine needles. Along with newly-picked fruits, these foods are presented at the altar for the ancestral memorial service.
