Auspiciousness in Sam Tung Uk

In traditions, the Chinese people like to express their wishes for a prosperous life through motifs of auspicious beasts, plants, vegetables, fruits, myths, folktales, etc., from the reality or imagination. Dragon, phoenix, qilin and pixiu are more often seen as symbols of auspiciousness among the others. These motifs are widely adopted on different occasions like festivals and customs, as well as decorations in our daily life, to embellish our lives and enhance the festive vibe. This December, we are together in Sam Tung UK Museum to learn more about various intangible cultural heritage and related making technique and traditional festivals.
