In order to understand how the historical meaning of Sajikdan can be replaced in a modern era, which has changed from the past, the consideration has made to see the deep-rooted values within Sajikdan that remain unchanged in the course of time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sajikdan has the formal and ceremonial external element of the rite, also has the inner element of the people's peace and hope for prosperity fundamentally. The ceremony begins with ceremonies that clean the body before sacrificing. In order to be sacrificed, you will go through the red-frame gate to the altar and after the ceremony of all the sacrifices, you will also go through this gate. Our dining culture begins with hygiene and proceeds through a ceremony that finishes with hygiene.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hong-sal gate is an architectural element that governs the entrance and exit of Sajik-dan. In order to commemorate this element, the structure of the hanok is reflected, and the shape of this quadrangle made by using red wood called Cheon-Won-Ji-Bang (Ground is squared and Sky is rounded). This allows us to remind our prosperity of things that we can move.
