  • The Heart of the Dragon Ensemble Is a UK-Based Professional Chinese Musicians' Group That Holds Regular Concerts and Educational Programmes Throughout the UK
    HEART OF THE DRAGON ENSEMBLE The Heart of the Dragon Ensemble is a UK-based professional Chinese musicians' group that holds regular concerts and educational programmes throughout the UK. Apart from playing traditional and classical Chinese music, the group also creates new compositions and productions. The Ensemble was founded and is led by composer and producer Jiang Li. Widely acclaimed as a composer of the new generation in the UK as well as in mainland China, and with a performing and composing career spanning more than thirty years, Jiang Li has produced a repertoire rich in Chinese music with Western influences. Jiang Li has been awarded a Fellowship Programme from NESTA - the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts. He was also one of three finalists for a Pearl Award in the Creative Excellence category. Here, Jiang Li and the Heart of the Dragon Ensemble present the music of a variety of Chinese festivals celebrated throughout the Chinese calendar. A note from the producer Music is an expression of spiritual emotions. Looking back at Chinese history, it is not difficult to find that festivals and music are integrated and have evolved together. When music, dance and street arts add cultural colour to the festival, the festival provides an opportunity for these art forms to flourish. Included in this album is a good selection of such music that tell the stories of Chinese festivals: the drum beats for the dragon boat race in the Dragon Boat festival (“Three Dragons”), the lyrical tunes between the erhu and xiao on Chinese Valentine’s day (“Valentine Melody” & “Moonlight on Spring Water”), the harvest drums during the Mid-Autumn festival (“Autumn Celebration”), and the smooth ‘water-flow’-like melodies of the guzheng depicting ancient mythical stories (“Four Pieces of Silk”).

Crumble. This is not your destruction. This is your birth. ~ Noor Tagouri The beautiful words really struck a chord with me. Pieces of my life, certain weeks, even years have felt to me like the mythological phoenix melting to nothing then somehow rising from the ash. Or the prosaic butterfly - the awkward caterpillar climbing deeply into a cocoon, thinking this was her final resting place and then somehow a magical butterfly emerges. All too often we run from life, we hide from the messy moments, we dampen the pain only to realize maybe those acute moments of chaos ARE LIFE. It’s a cycle…What would things look like if it all stayed the same? Perhaps we have to disintegrate in order to let go of the things that dim our light. Those moments when we emerge again as the glorious phoenix or the gorgeous butterfly are the result of the meltdown, the hibernation, the healing of raw emotions and our ability to embrace the shifting tides of our life cycles.

  • Traditional Festival As a Tourism Event- Stakeholders' Influence On
    Traditional Festival as a Tourism Event: Stakeholders’ Influence on the Dynamics of the Sendai Tanabata Festival in Japan YUJIE SHEN JAP4693 - Master’s Thesis in Modern Japan Master’s programme 30 credits Autumn 2020 Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages (IKOS) University of Oslo December 15, 2020 Summary A new method of analyzing traditional Japanese festivals (matsuri) based on event studies is presented. Stakeholders’ influence and their interactions redefine narratives of tradition. In Japan, the urbanization of society has transformed matsuri into tourism-oriented events. However, the influence of touristification on tradition has not yet been fully explored. This paper offers a close examination of a case study about the dynamics of the Sendai Tanabata Festival. Local newspaper archives were used as the primary source and adopted the stake- holder theory and social exchange theory from event studies to examine stakeholders’ power and interests, as well as their relationships. The results discovered that it is the conflicts of festival stakeholders throughout the years that shaped the Sendai Tanabata Festival to what it is like today. Although festival organizers and local residents are key players, both domestic and foreign tourists’ influence should also not be neglected. The inheritance of traditional cul- ture depends on its original community i.e. local residents. Depopulation and aging social problems have shifted the weight of festival ownership to tourists, as they contribute to the economic revitalization and regional development. As a result, festival organizers tend to tai- lor the festival to tourists’ tastes, which often leads to change or loss of tradition’s original festive meaning or the invention of a new tradition.

  • 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.

  • Chinese Lantern Festival February 21St 2008 the Lantern Festival Or
    Chinese Lantern Festival February 21st 2008 The Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Jie is a traditional Chinese festival, which is on the 15th of the first month of Lunar New Year. The festival marks the end of the celebrations of the Chinese New Year. Chinese started to celebrate the Lantern Festival from the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 221 AD). Like most other Chinese festivals, there is also a story behind the Festival. It is also believed that the festival has Taoist origins. This is a festival for people having fun. On the night of the festival, people go on streets with a variety of lanterns under the full moon, watching lions or dragon dancing, playing Chinese riddles and games, and lighting up firecrackers. There is really a lot of fun for the young and the old. The festival is not well celebrated in the US, though you may find celebrations in some Chinese communities. Yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) or Tangyuan is the special food for the Lantern Festival. It is believed that Yuanxiao is named after a palace maid, Yuanxiao, of Emperor Wu Di of the Han Dynasty. Yuanxiao is a kind of sweet dumpling, which is made with sticky rice flour filled with sweet stuffing. And the festival is named after the famous dumpling. Yuanxiao is sticky, sweet and round in shape, symbolizing family unity, completeness and happiness. You can find Yuanxiao in oriental food stores. If you enjoy cooking, here is a recipe of Yuanxiao for you. Ingredients 4 1/2 cups (500 g) sticky rice flour butter 7 oz (200 g) black sesame powder 7 oz (200 g) sugar 8 oz (250 g) 1 tsp wine Methods 1.
