HUMA 2632 (Spring 2019) CHINESE CULTURE and SOCIETY in ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES HUMA 2632 (Spring 2019) CHINESE CULTURE AND SOCIETY IN ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES Instructor : Siu-woo Cheung Office : Rm. 3340 Phone : 2358-7763 E-mail : [email protected] Course Web : https://Canvas.ust.hk/ Class Meeting Lecture: 17:00-18:50 Thursday Tutorial: 18:00-18:50 Wednesday Course Description The discipline of anthropology requires the researcher’s engagement with the daily life of informants’ local community for an extended period of time in order to understand their real life experiences. Based on field data collected by participation, observation, and interviews about informants’ lived experiences shaped by local economic, social, political, and cultural institutions in constant interaction with the external world, researchers write up ethnography about the life of informants to address different academic or practical issues. This course is a survey of traditional and contemporary Chinese cultural practices and social institutions in local communities based on anthropologists’ long‐term first‐hand fieldwork studies in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China. Basic anthropological concepts and theories about Chinese socio‐cultural institutions will be examined. Students will be guided to explore major anthropological contributions to the understanding of the diversity and unity of Chinese cultures and societies in transformation through readings to be discussed in lectures and tutorial presentations, and practical experiences by joining fieldtrips and conducting a small-scale ethnographic research project. Intended Learning Outcomes On completion of this course, students should be able to 1. Comprehend basic terms, concepts and theories in cultural anthropology about Chinese cultures and societies in ethnographic writings; 2. Apply a holistic perspective to understand social and cultural phenomena, integrating the ecological/environmental, technological/economic, social/political, and religious/cosmological aspects of phenomena for analyses. 3. Conduct critical analyses about socio‐cultural issues in contemporary Chinese societies, such as kinship, class, gender and ethnic relations, ecological concern, development issues, and so on. 1 4. Conduct small-scale ethnographic fieldwork-based research by collecting and analyzing research data on contemporary Chinese culture and society; 5. Develop appreciation and respect of cultural diversity and understand the importance of cultural awareness for social interaction in contemporary daily life. Reading Materials Huang Shu-min. 1989.

  • Related Information
    Heritage Appraisal of Hung Shing Temple, Ap Lei Chau Hung Shing Temple on Hung Shing Street, Ap Lei Chau was Historical probably built by the local community of Ap Lei Chau in 1773 for the Interest worship of Hung Shing, a popular deity for protecting fishermen and marine traders1. Ap Lei Chau, which literally means an island of duck’s tongue, was once renamed as Aberdeen Island by the then colonial government in 1845. According to the senior committee members of Ap Lei Chau Kaifong Tung Hing Association, the local community of Ap Lei Chau mainly comprised six dialect groups, namely Bao’an, Fujian, Chaozhou, Dongguan, Huizhou and Hakka and they were mainly engaged in fishing, ship-building and repairing, provisioning and selling of daily necessities and dried seafood. It is still one of the most important historic fishing anchorages in Hong Kong at present. This may explain the presence of three historic temples (including Hung Shing Temple) for the patronage of sea gods in the area2. The management of Hung Shing Temple has been taken over by the Chinese Temples Committee since 1930. Hung Shing Temple is the main temple on Ap Lei Chau since its establishment. Hung Shing Festival, which is on the thirteenth day of the second lunar month, is still widely celebrated by both the land and boat population in the area every year with offerings, procession of the statues of Hung Shing and other deities, performance of lion and dragon dances as well as other ritual activities. It now becomes one of the major annual local events on Ap Lei Chau.

  • The Top Five Temples in Hong Kong Tin Hau Temple and Wishing Trees
    The Top Five Temples in Hong Kong Hidden in lush hills and wedged between shining skyscrapers, Hong Kong’s temples are active places of worship and the focal point of the city’s festivals for hundreds of years. Visit them to see faithful devotees and local deities performing ancient rituals amid aromatic wafts of incense. Tin Hau Temple and Wishing Trees in Lam Tsuen Tin Hau, Goddess of the Sea, is revered by fishermen and anyone whose life and destiny is tied to the sea. Temples that honour her are found in abundance in Chinese coastal communities throughout Asia. Hong Kong is no exception. The Tin Hau Temple in Lam Tsuen, along with two nearby wishing trees, attracts visitors to this part of Tai Po, which has been a residential area for about 700 years. Traditionally, festival visitors jot down their wishes on joss paper and tie it to an orange, which was then tossed up towards one of the banyan tree’s highest boughs – the higher the branch the better the odds of your wish coming true! Now to help preserve the trees and visitors could only tie wishes to a faked tree nearby instead. The temple was built during the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1736–1796) of the Qing dynasty. The main palace of the two-hall structure is dedicated to Tin Hau, while on one side of the main palace stands Man Mo Hall, dedicated to both the God of Literature (Man) and the God of War (Mo). On the other side is the Temple for Justice, built in honour of 12 noble-hearted men who protected the Lam Tsuen villages during less peaceful times.
