People throughout the DPRK celebrated their folk holiday of Jongwoldaeborum (fifteenth day of the first month by the lunar calendar) on February 24.
Those Pyongyangites who visited the Rangnang Museum spent a good time playing a variety of folk games.
Many visitors to the museum looked round the relics on display, yet the outdoor folk game section was crowded with others who saw and held fierce contests of strength and skill at the ssirum (Korean wrestling) ground and the archery range.
And at the folk game hall, visitors competed in the contests of wits as they played paduk (go) and janggi (Korean chess) with good moves.
Public catering service facilities seethed with diners who came to relish national foods, while the Munsu Water Park, outdoor ice rink and other cultural recreation centres were wrapped in a festive mood of joy and optimism.
The dining tables at families were set with various traditional dishes, including ogokpap, or boiled rice mixed with four other grains, and nine kinds of dried herbs, which were prepared by housewives, and laughter rang out from families playing janggi and yut (four-stick) games.
The people, who enjoyed the holiday at homes in Kyongru-dong and Songhwa and Hwasong streets and modern houses in rural areas of the country erected under the loving care of the Party, expressed their firm resolve to build a socialist paradise envied by the world on this land.
