Hong Kong Intangible Cultural Heritage (Revised)
Ho Yiu-sang's new book is a captivating exploration of Hong Kong's lesser-known traditional customs and crafts. Through this work, readers are introduced to a diverse range of customs and crafts that are often overlooked by the public and rarely covered by the media. From the once-in-sixty-years Qingjiao in Sheung Shui Heung to the custom of Hek Shan Tou, and from the incense factory to the wood carving art of the Dragon and Phoenix, the book sheds light on these hidden treasures.
As the call for conservation grows louder, the book emphasizes the importance of preserving and passing on these customs and crafts. It urges every Hong Kong resident to embrace their local customs and traditions, rather than blindly following Western trends.
