Seeds for ICH

In Hong Kong, people’s awareness of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) has been raised in recent years. This project adopts a holistic approach in conservation by bringing ICH practitioners to local communities on one hand, and nurturing the practitioners’ understanding of the relation of ICH and their traditions on the other. With funding support from the Intangible Cultural Heritage Office, this project starts with these ICHs: ‘local traditional music’, ‘Taoist ritual tradition of the Zhengyi School’, ‘paper crafting technique’, ‘fisherfolk’s laments’, ‘Hakka unicorn dance’, ‘Spring and Autumn Ancestral Worship’, and ‘Tai O Dragon Boat Water Parade’.
