{{see also|Korean Traditional Festivals}}
Food is an important part of traditions of Korean family ceremonies, which are mainly based on the Confucian culture. [[The Four Ceremonial Occasions|Gwan Hon Sang Je]] ({{Korean|hangul=관혼상제|hanja=冠婚喪祭|labels=no}}), the four family ceremonies (coming-of-age ceremony, wedding, funeral, and ancestral rite) have been considered especially important and elaborately developed, continuing to influence Korean life to these days. Ceremonial food in Korea has developed with variation across different regions and cultures.<ref>Jang, J. et al. (2005). Understanding the food culture. [식생활 문화의 이해].

For example, ancestral rites called ''[[jesa]]'' are mainly held on the anniversary of an ancestor's death. Ritual food includes rice, rice cakes, meat and fish, alcohol, and fruit.<ref>Lee Yeon-ja, "Jeongga's ancestral rites and food culture" Koreana, Vol. 24, No. 2, Summer 2010</ref>
