Religion and Custom
383 Chapter 18 Religion and Custom As a predominantly Chinese society, Buddhism and Taoism followers outnumber those of other religions in Hong Kong. But other religions are also practised with great fervour — in churches, mosques, temples and synagogues. The freedom of worship is cherished in Hong Kong, and is enshrined in Hong Kong’s constitutional document, the Basic Law. Hong Kong residents enjoy religious freedom under the Basic Law and relevant legislation. Religions practised in Hong Kong include Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism and Judaism. Some religious bodies also run schools, and health and welfare facilities. Traditional Festivals The Lunar New Year is the most important date in the Chinese festival calendar. It is celebrated during the days of the first new moon of the year, an auspicious time for friends and relatives to visit each other and to exchange gifts while children and unmarried adults receive lai see, or ‘lucky’ money in red packets. The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month to honour an ancient Chinese poet, Qu Yuan, who killed himself by jumping into a river rather than compromise his honour. Dragon boat races and the eating of rice dumplings, wrapped in bamboo leaves, are the highlights of this festival. For the Mid-Autumn Festival, on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, grown-ups and children gather under the full moon with colourful lanterns and eat mooncakes, a traditional festival delicacy. The Ching Ming Festival in spring and the Chung Yeung Festival in autumn are marked by visits to ancestral graves.
