大坑舞火龙

香港铜锣湾大坑的传统民俗活动,最迟出现于19世纪末,但实际由何时开始却无从稽考。昔日的大坑是一个客家村,村民会在每年农历八月中秋节前后,进行三日舞火龙活动,以祈求合境平安。大坑坊众福利会成立后,确立了传承人制度,让舞火龙的知识和技术得以有系统地传承。在各方共同努力下,大坑舞火龙已由地区性活动成为香港最具代表性的节庆活动之一,并在2011年被列入第三批国家级非遗代表性项目名录。

Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance

In the 19th century, the people of Tai Hang began performing a dragon dance to stop a run of bad luck afflicting their village. More than a century later, their village has been all but swallowed up by Hong Kong’s fast-growing city. But the dragon keeps on dancing. It has even danced its way onto China’s third national list of intangible cultural heritage and been selected as one of the Remarkable Examples of Good Practice for Safeguarding the National ICH Items in recognition of the efforts in safeguarding this intangible cultural heritage.
