    LC Paper No. CB(2)1719/13-14(04) For information on 13 June 2014 Legislative Council Panel on Home Affairs Promulgation of the First Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory of Hong Kong Purpose This paper informs Members of the details of the first intangible cultural heritage (“ICH”) inventory of Hong Kong, which has been finalised after the public consultation on the draft ICH inventory and the consultation with the Intangible Cultural Heritage Advisory Committee (ICHAC). Background 2. According to the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (the Convention) adopted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), each State Party has to identify and define the various elements of ICH present in its territory, with the participation of communities, groups and relevant non-governmental organisations to draw up ICH inventories as the basis for the safeguarding of ICH. After the Convention came into effect in 2006, the Government planned to conduct a territory-wide survey on ICH in Hong Kong to collect research data for drawing up the first inventory of Hong Kong’s ICH. 3. According to the Convention, ICH refers to the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills – as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith – that communities, groups (or individuals) of the territory recognise as part of their cultural heritage. To qualify as ICH, the item must be transmitted from generation to generation and is constantly recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, their interaction with nature and their history, and provides them with a sense of identity and continuity, thus promoting respect for cultural diversity and human creativity.

  • The History and Identity of Israel in the Old Testament—Chosen And
    The History and Identity of Israel in the Old Testament 2-1 Topic 2 The History and Identity of Israel in the Old Testament—Chosen and Covenant Suggested teaching time: 6 periods (1 hour per period) Main points: 1. The covenant between God and Abraham (1) 2. The covenant between God and Abraham (2) 3. Chosen and Covenant – the Sinai Covenant (1) 4. Chosen and Covenant – the Sinai Covenant (2) 5. The covenant between God and David (1) 6. The covenant between God and David (2) Text Interpretation: “Covenant” is considered as the main theme of the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, the word “covenant” is translated from the Hebrew word berîth. “Covenant” is to build up a binding relationship between two parties. Through negotiating or even vow, the contracting parties can show their fulfillment of certain responsibilities. Research of archeology found that the culture of making covenant existed in ancient Near East societies. Covenants, from the extent of marriage to nations, are made to bind two persons or parties which may not have any relations. The Old Testament recorded a few covenants made between God and Israel, including the Abrahamic Covenant, the Sinai Covenant, and the covenant between God and David. 2 - 1 The History and Identity of Israel in the Old Testament 2-2 Abraham was the ancestor of the Israelites. The characteristic of the covenant between God and Abraham was that it had much to do with promises. God asked Abraham to leave Ur and promised: (1) to bless Abraham, his descendants and all the nations through him (Gen 12:1-3); (2) the descendants of Abraham would be as many as the stars (Gen 15:5); and (3) to establish an everlasting relationship with Abraham and his descendants, and God would be their God (Gen 17:7-8).
