A lesson on the festivals celebrated in China
An impromtu play of one of the myths of China
Today is the last day of the IS module. The lesson today is mostly a recap and summary of almost all of our IS lessons and our cultural visits around Chengdu with some new discovery regarding the festivals celebrated by the Chinese. A short comparison between the festival celebrated here and back in Singapore is enough to deduce that there is much difference, even the festivals celebrated by the common chinese. Many of the ceremonies and festival in Singapore are religion based. However, the festival here are more commonly related to incidences in the Chinese history, where people of respect are celebrated by the people. Although different, I am able to appreciate the difference and learn, with understanding, the reason for their beliefs and what myths or legends played their part in formation of these festivals.
