The word Gwanhonsangje (冠婚喪祭) was first used in the classic book Ye-gi (예기禮記), and has since been used in many other works describing various rites.

Jongmyo jerye (Korean: 종묘제례) or jongmyo daeje (종묘대제) is a traditional rite held for worshipping the deceased Joseon monarchs in Jongmyo Shrine, Seoul, South Korea.

A number of dishes have been developed. These can be divided into ceremonial foods and ritual foods. Ceremonial foods are used when a child reaches 100 days, at the first birthday, at a wedding ceremony, and the sixtieth birthday. Ritual foods are used at funerals, at ancestral rites, shaman's offerings and as temple food.
Koreans who still practice ancestor worship observe these rites every January 1 and August 15 (Chuseok, of the lunar calendar). They visit ancestral homes and tombs and on Hansik Day in March, and offer sacrificial food at the ancestral tomb. Korean Christianity to cope with ancestor worship, instituted the memorial service as an alternative.
