Religion and Customsthree days of the New Year. The incessant, ear-splitting noise of firecrackers and the red shreds oftheir wrappers last a whole week, creating a vibrant, joyful scene. These are the sights and soundsof Macao during Lunar New Year. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular for Macaoresidents to take family vacations during the Lunar New Year public holidays.Qing Ming, Chong Yang Festivals and All Souls’ DayThe Qing Ming and Chong Yang (Double Nine) festivals are occasions for people to commemoratetheir ancestors and visit their graves. They pay homage to the deceased, strengthen bonds with theirrelatives and perform filial duties. All Souls’ Day, the traditional Christian festival to remember thedeceased, is also a public holiday in Macao.Buddha’s BirthdayBuddha’s Birthday is a special local festival in Macao. During the festival, Buddhistorganisations in Macao usually organise many celebrations, including sutra recitations and“Bathing the Buddha” ceremonies to celebrate the birth of the Buddha. Some non-religiousorganisations, such as fishmongers’ associations, also celebrate the festival. Drunken DragonDance performances and the distribution of “Dragon Boat Rice” are among the traditionalactivities staged at this time.The Drunken Dragon Dance is an ancient custom that originated in neighbouring ZhongshanMunicipality in Guangdong province, and has become a tradition among Macao’s fishmongers.Through the dance, they show their team spirit and commitment to society. After much modificationthrough the years, the Drunken Dragon Dance nowadays features only the head and tail of theDragon. The performers are expected to drink as they dance; and people believe they can onlyperform well if they are drunk.The Macao Drunken Dragon Dance was included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage List ofMacao in 2009 and successfully inscribed on the List of National Intangible Cultural Heritage in2011.Dragon Boat FestivalThe Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. It is atime for eating special dumplings and Dragon Boat Racing. Macao’s Dragon Boat Races have aunique local flavour, and have developed into an international competition. Many Westerners alsoparticipate, displaying their prowess.Mid-Autumn FestivalAppreciating the moon’s beauty while enjoying delicious mooncakes during the Mid-AutumnFestival is another Chinese tradition. Even before the day arrives, a joyous atmosphere builds upeverywhere. Shops selling traditional mooncakes are packed with customers, as demand for themruns high. On the festival night, family members gather and enjoy reunions.409
