Samjinnal is one of sesi pungsok (세시풍속) or Korean traditional customs by season, which falls on every March 3 in the lunar calendar. It was called samjil (삼질) in old Korean language and referred to as sangsa (상사, 上巳), wonsa (원사, 元巳), sungsam (중삼, 重三), sangje (상제, 上除) or dapcheongjeol (답청절, 踏靑節) in hanja. Since the number 3 has been regarded as an yang (positive cosmic forces) in Korea, the date that is overlapped with the two 3 is considered as a gilil (길일, lucky day).^[1]
