Doljanchi is a traditional Korean celebration that marks a child's first birthday. This event is significant in Korean culture, symbolizing the child's survival and growth during the first year of life, which historically was a challenging time. Families often prepare a special feast and invite relatives and friends to join in the festivities. During the Doljanchi, a key highlight is the doljabi ceremony, where various objects are placed in front of the child. The item the child chooses is believed to predict their future interests or career. Common items include a book, money, and a string, each representing different paths in life.
