Bebegin 1. Yas Günü
Bebegin 1. Yas Günü
Eskiden gerek tibbi eksiklik, gerekse agir tabiat sartlari yüzünden dogan birçok bebek hastaliklardan ölürdü. Bebekler daha ilk dogum günlerini geçiremeden ölmekteydi. Ancak daha sonralari ilk dogum günlerini gören bebeklerin sayisinda artis oldu ve bu durum aileleri çok memnun etti. Dahasi çocuklarin 100. günleri de (Baek-il) kutlanmistir. Ancak bu kutlama birçok bölgede Tol'a göre sönük kalmaktadir.
Tol'un Kore'de 2 anlami vardir. Ortak anlami, bir çocugun ilk dogum günüdür. Ayrica dogum günlerinin tanimlanmasi sekliyle de kullanilir. Bir çocugun ilkdogum gününe Chut-tol, ikinci dogum gününe Du-tol, üçüncü dogum gününe Seo-tol denilir.
Geleneksel Tol Kutlamasi:
Bu kutlamanin 4 ana bölümü vardir:
1-) Dua etmek ve sükranlarini sunmak.
2-) Dogum gününü yapmak, giymek ve giydirmek.
3-) Masayi hazirlamak ve Toljabee'yi yapmak.
4-) Konuklar ve komsularla yiyecegi paylasmak.
Modern zamanlarda tip alanindaki gelistirmelerin, bati kültürünün etkisinin, modern sanayilesmenin artmasi ve Shamanistic kültürün etkisininin azalmasina paralel olarak Tol kutlamalarinda da azalis meydana geldi. Yine de, günümüzde tebrik zamani olarak hâlâ aile ve anne-babalar için bu kutlama yapilmaktadir.

Tol/Doljanchi/돌잔치 (Child's First Birthday)
In the past, due to a lack of medical information, Korea's seasonal temperature differences, and many childhood related diseases, the death rate for children was extremely high. Many children died before their first birthday. After the age of one year, the survival rate steeply increased, making this milestone a very happy one for the child's parents. It has also been a custom to celebrate a child's 100 day birthday (baek-il) , but in most areas this birthday is less important than the Tol and any celebrations are smaller in scale.
Tol has two meanings in Korean. The most common meaning is a child's first birthday. It can also be used as a generic description for birthdays: Chut-tol (first birthday), Du-tol (second birthday), Seo-tol (third birthday), etc.
Traditional Tol Celebration
The traditional celebration had four major components:
1) Praying and giving thanks
2) Making and wearing the birthday clothes
3) Preparing the table and performing the Toljabee
4) Sharing the food with guests and neighbors
In modern times, due to the improvements in medicine, the influence of Western culture, and modern industrialization, the Shamanistic reasons for the Tol celebration have been reduced. However, the event is still celebrated as a time of congratulations for the parents and family.
In the modern Tol, taking picture is an important part of the event. As many Korean homes are very small, many families rent a room in a banquet hall. The modern celebration includes the child's parents greeting guests, lighting candles on a birthday cake, the Toljabee event, and a toast.
