PGHK #268 Chap Go· (十五)

Sep 20, 2010 | Podcast | 2 comments

The ways we celebrate Chap Go· Me· is so different these days compared to my childhood. We discussed the differences in mooncakes, lanterns, and mooncake festival celebrations.

If everything goes well, I am planning to do a big PGHK Mooncake Festival in Penang in 2011. Are you interested in joining?

    Story of Chang’er
    嫦娥奔月
    中国古代神话传说,嫦娥偷吃了丈夫后羿从西王母那儿讨来的不死之药后,飞到月宫。但琼楼玉宇,高处不胜寒,嫦娥向丈夫倾诉懊悔后,又说:“明天乃月圆之候,你用面粉作丸,团团如圆月形状,放在屋子的西北方向,然后再连续呼唤我的名字。三更时分,我就可以回家来了。”翌日,照妻子的吩咐去做,届时嫦娥果由月中飞来,夫妻重圆。中秋节做月饼供嫦娥的风俗,也是由此形成。表现这一情节的嫦娥图,当是世人渴望美好团圆,渴望幸福生活的情感写照。另外“嫦娥奔月”还是中国航天探月工程的代号。
