Sikmogil is a holiday in South Korea, the Korean Arbor Day. It ic celebrated annually on April 5. This day was designated by presidential decree in 1949, following legislation by the National Assembly. In 1960, Sikmogil's status as a holiday was abolished and April 5 was treated as another common day. One year later, the official status of the holiday was restored. In 2006, Sikmogil's holiday status was abolished again. The idea of Sikmogil was to celebrate forestry and development of national history. The day of April 5 was chosen for its historical significance. On April 5, Silla achieved the unification of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. In addition, on that day, king Sung-Jong started farming in farming. On Sikmogil, South Korean people plant trees which are appropriate to the region's climate, according to each size of unit. The government office helps people plant trees with observing the standard which is determined in advance. In a month or so around Sikmogil, the government is encouraging the economical utilization of forestry by designating 'National planting period'. Even though Sikmogil was abolished in 2006 as a holiday, the meaningful activities keep being upheld by the south Korean public. == See also == * Arbor Day 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sikmogil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
