Se Jong Lee/Process analysis essay/Tuesday 9 am

We all had been a baby once. If you were in Korea when your childhood is in Korea, you probably had Dol Zan Chi, the celebrity for baby having birth in 100 days. It is very happy day for both parents and babies, but in order to be more happy you have to do things in a right progress.

First, you have to prepare things for the Dol Zan Chi. You have to book place for the party and send out invitations to your grandparents, relatives and friends. If you are invited, you have to prepare some gifts. There are many kinds of gifts but money is the most popular.

After the preparation, now the process of the Dol Zan Chi begins. First start with opening speech by parents and oldest people in the party. It is mostly about just opening so it could not be serious. Just say like thanks for coming and have a good day today.. Than in the traditional Dol Zan Chi, a grandfather bow a arrow with a baby, put sorghum and adzuki cake at the end of the arrow. Cake's red color means defeating the calamity, so having a good life for the baby's life.

Then one of the important time for Dol Jan Chi, the picking time. Put the string, money and pencil in front of the baby's table. Next, wait for baby to choose one of the things. Each of the things have it's own meaning. String means for the long life, Money means for property and the pencil stands for the high academic ability. Most of the parents want pencil in Korea, because the Korea is education-important society.

So These are the three processes for the Dol Zan Chi. There are bit difference from traditional and morderen Dol Zan Chi that moderns are more simplified. But whether modernized or traditional, I talked about both standard Dol Zan Chi. Because most of the Korean babies had done this before, It is better for us to know how to do this.
