Subject Talk
Subject Talk Theme:
There are many types of intangible cultural heritage (ICH). According to the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, ICH is manifested in oral traditions and expressions (including language as a vehicle of the ICH); performing arts; social practices, rituals and festive events; knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe; and traditional craftsmanship. This subject talk will introduce the ICH items of Hong Kong associated with worship, such as Wong Tai Sin Belief and Customs, Cheung Chau Jiao Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival – the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance. Participants may learn more about the local customs and cultures of worship through these ICH items.
