Introduce the Dragon Boat Festival in Korea in detail.

Korean Dragon Boat Festival

In South Korea, the Dragon Boat Festival is held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, just like the Dragon Boat Festival in China. Dragon Boat Festival is quite common in Korea. According to Korean scholars' research, the content of Dragon Boat Festival was expressed by Nan Xiaowen in Qiu Jiang Collection in the "Korean era", so the origin of gangneung danoje festival dates back to 1000 years ago. After 1967 was recognized as "intangible cultural heritage", the grand activities in gangneung danoje festival were restored and developed. At present, there are many festivals and masquerade dramas in Gangneung Daye Festival, including farmers' music and dance competitions, pot throwing, wrestling, swinging, long kneeling competitions, Taekwondo competitions, college football competitions, chess king competitions and other entertainment programs 1000. From May 1 day to May 10, a nationwide grand "chaos field" (temple fair) was held, focusing on the exhibition and sale of local specialty goods, with a large scale.

The origin of Dragon Boat Festival is related to the origin of rice and water. May of the lunar calendar is the season of rising water every year. In order to pray that the flood will not drown the rice, sacrifices are made to the gods at this time of the year. Only in this way can this festival gradually take shape.

Rice farming originated in the Neolithic Age, and in the third century BC, rice was introduced to Japan from China. Korean Dragon Boat Festival is influenced by China culture.

Why is China's traditional festival "Dragon Boat Festival" applied by South Korea as their intangible cultural heritage?

It is an indisputable fact that the Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. It should be said that at that time, it was generally believed that Asian countries could never successfully apply for the World Heritage (of course, this is another story). Because human oral heritage and intangible heritage masterpieces need to have three characteristics: uniqueness, integrity and authenticity. The Dragon Boat Festival in other countries does not meet the first two conditions. Nowadays, Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea has been approved as "a masterpiece of human oral and intangible heritage", which is somewhat unexpected. However, the success of South Korea's application for World Heritage depends on its own protection and attention. From this point of view, we can't compare.

South Korea's successful application for World Heritage is "not a bad thing" because, as experts say, "Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival is actually different from our Dragon Boat Festival." Korean Dragon Boat Festival consists of dances, shaman sacrifices and folk art exhibitions, which is different from China people who eat zongzi, row dragon boats and commemorate Qu Yuan. "The only similarity is the time frame, which was held during the Dragon Boat Festival in China." This is not necessarily true. Associate Professor Hu Zhixiang, a folklore researcher in the Department of Literature and Art of Fudan University, has a different view: "There is no essential difference between the Dragon Boat Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival. Culture includes core part and influence part, and there will always be some changes in the process of communication. During this period, the core part is often preserved. The Dragon Boat Festival was originally a ritual activity in China, and the core part of the Korean gangneung danoje festival was handed down from China. Although' festival' and' festival' have different meanings in Korean, both the Dragon Boat Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival Festival should be expressed in English when applying for the World Heritage. "

Anyway, it is an indisputable fact that the Dragon Boat Festival originated in China! The legacy left by our ancestors was defeated. Why laugh at "this is not a bad thing"? Speaking of which, I really feel guilty. Last year, South Korea began to apply for gangneung danoje festival as a World Heritage Site. Not long ago, when a Korean company registered the Chinese domain name "Dragon Boat Festival". Cn "first gives us the feeling that it is" not a taste ". Now that South Korea has successfully applied for the World Heritage, perhaps most people are "not a taste". If the advantage is that it has brought us good enlightenment, injected modern elements into traditional cultural activities and gained international recognition, then it is of reference significance for the protection of China's heritage. Then, our Dragon Boat Festival (not the Dragon Boat Festival in a certain country) still has a long and heavy way to go to gain international recognition. We can't help thinking that our failure is actually "beyond reason and expectation". Reflecting on the situation in China, we will find that the cultural characteristics of our holiday system are insufficient, and foreign festivals have been seriously impacted. Most people pursue foreign festival culture but lack understanding of their own nation, let alone love and protection. The board that South Korea successfully applied for the World Heritage just hit us in the face, just like the Korean film and television drama sold our patent to China-it was a good board, but it was not a taste.

Dragon Boat Festival is not ignored by foreign festival culture, nor by the depth of feelings, nor by ignoring the nationality of culture under the pretext of cultural openness. No matter how deeply we feel about the Dragon Boat Festival, whether the intangible cultural heritage in globalization is the wealth shared by all mankind, we must resolutely defend our traditional festivals! Before applying, we don't have to be "outraged" by South Korea's application, because the result has not yet come out and there is still hope, and because South Korea's protection of gangneung danoje festival tells us how valuable a country's attitude towards its local culture is. Therefore, South Korea's application for World Heritage is also an incentive to encourage people to defend their ancestors' "heritage" and realize their own preciousness. And after South Korea's successful application for the World Heritage? We can only say that South Korea's success is still an inspiration. We can only place our hopes on other traditional cultures and care for and protect all kinds of traditional cultures, including the Dragon Boat Festival. If the successful application for the Korean World Heritage can arouse the reflection of relevant departments and enhance China's awareness of protecting traditional culture, it will be of positive significance.

Gangneung danoje festival introduced.

Gangneung danoje festival is a celebration to inherit and carry forward the traditional culture and customs of Dragon Boat Festival. 1967 was designated as the important intangible cultural heritage of KoreaNo. 13, and on 25 October 2005/kloc-0 was designated as the oral and intangible heritage of mankind by UNESCO. Gangneung danoje festival started from offering sacrifices to the gods in Daguanling. During the event, various witchcraft and sacrificial ceremonies will be held, as well as traditional games and experience activities such as skipping rope and mask making, as well as wonderful witchcraft and custom performances, mask dances and farmhouse performances. Gangneung danoje festival is a special sacrificial activity in Gangneung, South Korea during the Dragon Boat Festival, not a special festival.

The origin of gangneung danoje festival?

"Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival is actually different from our Dragon Boat Festival." Professor Gao of Peking University, secretary-general of China Folklore Society, said in an interview that the Korean Dragon Boat Festival is actually composed of dances, shaman sacrifices and folk art exhibitions, which is different from China people's activities such as eating zongzi, rowing dragon boats and commemorating Qu Yuan. "The only similarity is the time frame, which was held during the Dragon Boat Festival in China." Professor Gao said that the success of South Korea's application for World Heritage actually brought us a good enlightenment: they injected modern elements into traditional cultural activities, successfully realized modern transformation, and gained international recognition, which has reference significance for the protection of China's heritage.

Since last year, the dispute over the application for the Dragon Boat Festival has caused great repercussions in China academic circles and the people.

Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival custom in Gangneung, South Korea. Gangneung danoje festival declared by South Korea was officially recognized as a "human legend and intangible heritage work" by UNESCO on 24th Paris time.

Different from the custom of Dragon Boat Festival in China.

Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival is indeed an interesting cultural phenomenon in East Asian "Chinese Character Cultural Circle". As far as festival customs are concerned, the Dragon Boat Festival originated in China, but in the long-term communication and international exchange, it has been absorbed and accepted by countries and nations around China, and placed in its own cultural soil, forming unique festival customs of each country and nation.

If we trace back to the prototype of gangneung danoje festival, there is no doubt that it is influenced by China culture. The explanation of "Dragon Boat Festival" is recorded in many Korean classics, which is the same as that of China people. For example, South Korea also calls the fifth day of May "heavy noon", "heavy five", "Duanyang" and "May Festival". The unique word in South Korea is "Dragon Boat Festival", which means the day of God. According to the traditional custom, on the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat "dwarf cakes" and drink barley juice. Women wash their hair with calamus soup or drink calamus water, or make up with calamus dew, which is called "calamus makeup". Stick a cinnabar symbol on the doorpost of a scholar-bureaucrat to ward off evil spirits, and the monarch and his subjects will give each other fans to congratulate them on the Dragon Boat Festival.

Many customs of China Dragon Boat Festival, such as inserting mugwort leaves, calamus, eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine, wearing a purse, riding with five poisons, tying colorful wisps, rowing dragon boats and commemorating Qu Yuan, do not exist in Korean Dragon Boat Festival customs. However, the Dragon Boat Festival in Gangneung, South Korea also contains rich contents, with sacrifices, performances and entertainment as the main contents. Among them, the sacrificial ceremony preserved the complete form and content, which can be said to be the core of gangneung danoje festival. This is also the main reason why gangneung danoje festival 1967 was designated as Korean intangible cultural property 13.

During the period of gangneung danoje festival, sacrificial ceremonies mainly came from myths and legends. The gods they sacrificed were the "Daguanling Mountain God" and the cave (village) god, and as many as twelve figures were deified, such as the Buddhist god "Brahma Buddha God" Jin Yuxin and Daguanling Buddhist woman Cheng Huang Jia Zheng.

A well-preserved tradition

Gangneung danoje festival is one of the well-preserved traditional festivals and customs in Korea. Originally, many places in South Korea had the custom of Dragon Boat Festival, but with the development of society, it gradually disappeared, and only Gangneung area was completely preserved.

In Jiangling area, the Dragon Boat Festival has complicated ceremonies. It usually takes five days and five nights to meet God's "Eve Sacrifice". If it takes more than 20 days from "mountain god sacrifice" to sending god; If you count from "brewing", it will take one month at the longest.

Gangneung danoje festival's program begins with the brewing of wine. On the fifth day of the fourth lunar month, people use rice and rice koji distributed by the old yamen "Qishitang" in Jiangling to brew wine for the Dragon Boat Festival sacrifice and drinking. On April 15, "Daguanling Mountain God Sacrifice" and "Stone Country Cheng Huang Sacrifice" were held. After the sacrifice, a section of Shenmu was sawed off, and people hung green and red silks and satins on it. Then, under the guidance of Shenmu, they formed a team to meet the gods. On the evening of the third day of the fifth lunar month, they returned to Cheng Huang Temple (Jia Zheng's daughter) in Jiangling to receive the "Feng 'an Festival", that is, the Dragon Boat Festival. After the sacrifice, the tablets of Daguanling Mountain God and Buddhist Huang Cheng were sent to Nandachuan open-air sacrifice field. From the fourth day to the seventh day, a "drink offering" is held every morning. Gangneung danoje festival's sacrificial rites can be divided into "Confucian sacrificial rites" and "witchcraft sacrificial rites". Confucian-style sacrificial ceremonies are conducted in the form of Chinese prayers, which involve eliminating disasters and attracting happiness, health and tranquility, treating diseases, harvesting agriculture and fisheries, and prospering livestock and poultry. After the Confucian sacrifice, the "witchcraft sacrifice ceremony" accompanied by the musical performance began until late at night.

Gangneung danoje festival's activities are colorful. In addition to the designated sacrificial ceremony (brewing wine-a ceremony to send gods), witch sacrifice, official slave masquerade, farm music competition, children's farm music competition, Heshan Aodaodai ballad (all of which are the intangible cultural heritage designated by the region or the country), there are many folk activities, such as China poetry creation competition, local folk singing competition, national tune singing competition, tug-of-war, wrestling, swinging and so on. Celebrations, such as fireworks competitions, Dragon Boat Festival lanterns, etc. ; Evening activities, such as China music performance, harp and singing. Art activities are more colorful. In addition, there are commodity transactions called "chaos".

Now, when I am in Gangneung Daye Festival, I also invite foreign folk art groups to perform, so as to enhance artistic exchanges and friendship among countries. This year, the Kyrgyzstan Troupe in Jilin Province of China and China Kunqu Opera, which is listed as the world intangible cultural heritage, participated in the performance in gangneung danoje festival.

Gangneung danoje festival, South Korea is a large-scale celebration that takes the Dragon Boat Festival as an opportunity and closely combines Korean beliefs and farming activities. Different from the Dragon Boat Festival in China, it has created rich and colorful contents and forms in the way of the Korean people, combined with their needs and aesthetics. Its ceremony, whether it is "Confucian ceremony" or "witchcraft ceremony", has maintained its original form. This primitive form is the historical value, cultural historical value and aesthetic value of the Dragon Boat Festival, and is the root of the intangible cultural heritage designated by the Korean state.

However, folk culture is constantly changing. With the progress of the times, many new contents will naturally be added, which is also very obvious in gangneung danoje festival. The organizer of Gangneung Daye Festival knows very well that "people live for tomorrow, and eager desire and ideal are the source of human life." As a folk activity, the annual Dragon Boat Festival is based on tradition, and new activities are arranged as much as possible.

This year, the seventh academic conference of the International Asian Folklore Society was held in Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival. As a major part of the Dragon Boat Festival, more than 70 scholars from 9 countries and regions, including China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Russia and Switzerland, conducted academic discussions and exchanges on the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival and the protection of intangible cultural heritage. Folk art groups from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America were invited to perform, and the cultural activities of Gangneung in South Korea were displayed with the Dragon Boat Festival as the carrier, opening her broad mind to the world.

As mayor Jiangling said, "Just as people have their hometown, culture comes from folk customs; Just as there is affection in hometown, the root of this diversity of folk customs must also be respected. They believe that "the most regional is the most global" and the diversity of world culture is the need of human life.
