The Meaning and Origin of 'Gyeongchip'

Hello, We are Korea National Souvenir Center.

It sure is warm these days, isn't it?

  Today is 'Gyeongchip', One of the seasonal customs of Korea.

  

'Gyeongchip' is the day on which insects appear from their holes in the earth.

  The green buds come out on the trees, I think the spring is about to begin.

  

Today, I would like to introduce you to the origin of 'Gyeongchip'

and the green items that match frogs.

  

The Meaning and Origin of 'Gyeongchip'

 

'Gyeongchip' is the day when the frog awakes from hibernation.

 

Around Gyeongchip, in Korea, when the continental high pressure falls,
migratory high and low pressure drops regularly pass through the nation,
repeating cold weather and mild weather, and the temperature rises daily until the end of spring.

 

Even the buds and frogs that grow new leaves in the spring
seem to be very green in the spring.

So I prepared,

  

Green color product for preparing Gyeongchip Go, go, go!

1. Folk prints Notebook

 

In the spring, everyone would buy pretty notebooks. 

' Irwol Obongdo ' is a folk notebook you can see at Korea National Souvenir Center.

 

I think this notebook attracts people's attention
because it has animals, flowers, and scenery in cover prints.

 

Notebook composed of 'Hwajodo', 'Hojakdo' and ' Irwol Obongdo 'are suitable for

writing down simple ideas and diaries!

 

2. Ramie Patchwork Table Mat

I think the ramie patchwork table mats are perfect for spring.

They are made of ramie fabric,
so it is good to use it from spring to autumn.

 

The color scheme is also gorgeous, so I think it is perfect for spring !!

Frog will running around this mats, isn't it? ~ (~ ˘ ▾ ˘) ~

 

They're really pretty if you put them under tables, potted plants, or even a cup of tea.

 

3. Pop-up card

Among the various products I will introduce, this product was my favorite one.

It is a pop-up card for 6 traditional Korean buildings.

 

Among these, the pop-up card of 'Geunjeongjeon' is really green, right?

When you open the card, each of the buildings appears in 3D.

 

This card is good for personal collection, but it is also a good gift.

As the weather is getting warmer,
why don't you visit the buildings shown on the pop-up card when you visit Korea?

 

4. Doorbell

 

With doorbell, you can feel the spring breeze with the clear bell!

This product is also a good opening gift.

In particular, it has a wide range of choices as it is equipped with a variety of designs!

 

Because it is spring, green house, green tree, and green fence design are most popular.

As I imagine the clear bell ring as the door opens, and the spring breeze is blowing,
I would like to attach it to the door as soon as possible.

 

I can't wait for spring to come.

What do you want to do first when spring comes?

Thank you.
