"Fun in ICH" Series

Myth Breaker on Breaking Hell Gate and Nanyin

"Breaking hell gate" is one of the traditional funeral rituals and Nanyin is performed in funeral rites. Both were mentioned in the movie The Last Dance and were inscribed onto the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Inventory of Hong Kong. Sparkled by the attention to ICH, the ICH Office organised "Fun in ICH" Series – Myth Breaker on Breaking Hell Gate and Nanyin. Taoist priest consultant of the movie, Master Leung Chun and the troupe "The Gong Strikes One" are invited to unveil the mystery of "breaking hell gate" and Nanyin. The programmes will be conducted mainly in Cantonese and free of charge.

The programme is also one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has long been promoting Chinese history and culture through organising an array of programmes and activities to enable the public to learn more about the broad and profound Chinese culture.
