Understanding Culture of Construction Laborers in Hong Kong Through Lo Pan (Master) Festival
Activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series /Talk Series on "Hong Kong Memories: Rediscovering Hong Kong's History and Culture"
Date: | 2025/7/27 (Sunday) |
Time: | 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. |
Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre, G/F) |
Description: | “Gongs and drums beaten aloud with streets and alleys packed with people” is the memory of the Lo Pan (Master) Festival in the past. Venerated as the deity of the construction industry, Lo Pan is worshipped in shops and offices as well as temples purposefully built for this master. The Lo Pan Festival is still considered a major event of the industry today. By introducing how different districts of Hong Kong celebrate the festival and the ups and downs of celebration activities over the years, this talk will explore the changes in the culture and beliefs of the Hong Kong’s construction industry. |
