"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).
