Korea's markets, its fishing and farming villages, modern though the buildings might be, remain very much the same as in the past. And its artisans -- celadon pottery makers for example -- have recreated the great works of the past. All are traditional expressions of Korean culture, which is still based on certain 600 year-old Confucian principles. Among these are A willingness to work hard at any task and, most importantly, devotion to the family. These family values are best observed during their major holiday called Ch'usok. Each year, about the time of the harvest moon, Koreans memorialize their ancestors with food and prayer.
