| | |In Metzetta, the magpie (까치, "kkachi") is celebrated as a bird of great fortune, of sturdy spirit and a provider of prosperity and development. In the same vein of bringing fortune and luck, Metzettan children were also taught that when you lose a tooth, to throw it on the roof singing a song for the magpie; the bird will hear your song and bring you a new tooth. | ||

| | |In Metzetta, ''Zelkova serrata'' has been considered a symbol of protection for villages since ancient times, and can still be found planted at central points in cities, towns and villages around the country. The trees often stand next to small pavilions, serving both as shaded informal gathering points, and spaces for traditional rituals and ceremonies involving prayer and offerings to the tree. The oldest of these trees are estimated to be in excess of 1,000 years in age, and are protected as natural monuments. In 2013, a project was announced by the [[Emperor's Gardens]] to clone the zelkova trees that are identified as natural monuments, so their lineage will not be lost in case of disaster or death due to age. | ||
