  • Dead Season1
    158 Dead Season1 Caroline Sy HAU Professor, Center for Southeast Asian Studies Kyoto University In Kyoto, the Obon festival in honor of the spirits of ancestors falls around the middle of August. The day of the festival varies according to region and the type of calendar (solar or lunar) used. The Kanto region, including Tokyo, observes Obon in mid-July, while northern Kanto, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Okinawa celebrate their Old Bon (Kyu Bon) on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. For most Japanese, though, August, shimmering Nilotic August, is dead season. Children have their school break, Parliament is not in session, and as many who can afford it go abroad. Because Kyoto sits in a valley, daytime temperature can run up to the mid- and even upper 30s. Obon is not a public holiday, but people often take leave to return to their ancestral hometowns to visit and clean the family burial grounds. The Bon Odori dance is based on the story of the monk Mokuren, who on Buddha’s advice was able to ease the suffering of his dead mother and who was said to have danced for joy at her release. The festival culminates in paper lanterns being floated across rivers and in dazzling displays of fireworks. An added attraction in Kyoto is the Daimonji festival held on August 16. Between 8:00 and 8:20 p.m., fires in the shape of the characters “great” (dai, ) and “wondrous dharma” (myo/ho ) and in the shapes of a boat and a torii gate are lit in succession on five mountains encircling the city.

  • Asian Tourism Seasonality, with an Emphasis on China's Golden Week System
    This file is part of the following reference: Chen, Tingzhen (2010) Asian tourism seasonality, with an emphasis on China’s Golden Week system. PhD thesis, James Cook University. Access to this file is available from: http://eprints.jcu.edu.au/19000 Asian tourism seasonality, with an emphasis on China’s Golden Week system Thesis submitted by Tingzhen Chen Bachelor in Tourism Management (Hons) For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Tourism, School of Business James Cook University Townsville January 2010 Abstract Seasonality is a distinguishing characteristic of tourism, and it has economic importance thus attracting attention from the academic area as well as from the business and policy making domains. The aim of this thesis is to explore the seasonality phenomenon in Asian tourism, with a particular emphasis on residents’ and managers’ views of China’s Golden Week system. The discussion on this topic starts with a review of key aspects of seasonality in the tourism context, including its definition, causes and impacts. Previous studies on seasonality conducted in the context of Western countries are initially considered. This work is followed by an introduction to seasonality in Asian studies, with a brief discussion of Japan’s Golden Week and a focus on China’s Golden Week system which is the centre of this study. Based on the literature review, an opportunity exists to better understand seasonality in Asian tourism, particularly the residents’ and managers’ views of China’s Golden Week system. Three studies are implemented to address these research opportunities. The first study was based on secondary data analysis and it was designed to characterise the seasonality phenomenon in Asian tourism.

  • Inheritance Path of Traditional Festival Culture from the Perspective of Ghost Festival in Luju Town

IV (July. 2014), PP 43-47 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Inheritance Path of Traditional Festival Culture from the Perspective of Ghost Festival in Luju Town Jiayi Lu, Jianghua Luo 1,2Key Research Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences at University, Center for Studies Education and Psychology of Ethnic Minorities in Southwestern China, Southwest University, Beibei , Chongqing 400715 Abstract: By participating in a series of activities of Ghost Festival on July 15th, teenagers naturally accept the ethical education of filial piety and benevolence. However, under the background of urbanization of villages, teenagers are away from their local families, and family controlling power and influence have been weakened. All these problems become prominent increasingly. As a result, the cultural connotations of Ghost Festival have been misinterpreted, and its survival and inheritance are facing a crisis. Therefore, we must grasp the essence in the inheritance of traditional cultures and make families and schools play their roles on the basis of combination of modern lives. Keywords: Ghost Festival, local villages, inheritance of culture, teenagers Fund Project: Comparative Study of the Status Quo of Educational Development of Cross-border Ethnic Groups in Southwestern China — major project of humanities and social science key research base which belongs to the Ministry of Education.

  • China Treasure Hunt! Check Your Answers Below
    Treasure Hunt See how you did on the China Treasure Hunt! Check your answers below: 1. Which of the Chinese festivals is both a time of sorrow and joy? And why do the Chinese refrain from cooking on that day? Answer can be found in the “Qing Ming” article, at: http://www.credoreference.com/entry/berkchina/qingming_festival “The origin of the Qingming Festival is dubious. Most people, however, attribute it to a king named Chong’er and his subject Jie Zitui. Before he was king of the Jin state in the Spring and Autumn period (770–476 bce), Chong’er (697–628 bce) fled from the persecution of his murderous stepmother queen. The hardships he endured during his exile alienated all his followers, except Jie Zitui, who even fed the starved king with flesh cut from his leg. After ascending to the throne, Chong’er forgot Jie Zitui. By the time he remembered and sent for him, Jie Zitui had already gone in hiding to Mount Mian with his mother. Chong’er set fire to the mountain in the hope of driving out Jie Zitui; but Jie Zitui preferred to be burned to death. The regretful king then set aside the day in Jie Zitui’s memory and decreed that no fire be allowed on that day, resulting in a festival called hanshi (cold food). Later, hanshi and qingming were combined to create the Qingming Festival.” 2. Mao’s youthful Red Guards spread violence and terror during the 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution. What did Mao Zedong do to them in the end, and why? Answer can be found in the “Red Guard Organizations” article, at: http://www.credoreference.com/entry/berkchina/red_guard_organizations ChinaAnswer can also be found in This Is China, pages 98-99.

  • Qingming (“Clear and Bright”)
    Revisioning Buddhism by Piya Tan ©2011 Qingming (“Clear and Bright”) Many Chinese annually celebrate the Qingming Jie (“clear and bright” day) to honour their dead, traditionally by cleaning their ancestors’ (the closest relatives’) graves and making offerings there. It falls on the fifteenth day from the spring equinox (when the sun is right over the equa- tor), and locally, this, unlike other Chinese feast-days which are lunar, always falls on 5th April. Busy modern Chinese would, however, usually observe it on the nearest week-end or convenient day. What is the story behind the event, and how do Buddhists (or anyone) celebrate it in a meaning- ful way today? There are at least two traditional stories connected with the festival. The oldest story goes back to the Spring and Autumn Period, when it was declared a 3-day memorial Han- shi day (寒食节, “cold-food day”) in honour of Jie Zitui (介子推), a loyal servant of Duke Wen of Jin (晉文公 Jinwen Gong) (697-628 BCE). The story behind Hanshi day began on one hot summer afternoon during the exile of Chong’er (Duke Wen’s previous name). The prince was exhausted and hungry. His advisor and personal friend, Jie Zitui, made some meat soup for him despite the difficulty of finding any meat. Chong- ’er enjoyed the soup but wondered where the meat came from. Jie had cut a piece of flesh from his own thigh to make the soup! Deeply moved, Chong’er promised to reward him one day. When Chong’er became Duke, he forgot about Jie, who had quietly retired into the mountains.
