As one of the oldest districts in Hong Kong, Yuen Long District is home to a rich heritage of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, including indigenous inhabitants of the New Territories and a large number of immigrants. This exhibition will mainly focus on three places in Yuen Long: Ha Wan Tsuen, Chau Tau Tsuen, Ping Shan Heung, Shap Pat Heung (Shan Ha Tsuen). Combining photos and oral history, we will tell the story of Yuen Long's past: history, clans, festivals, customs and traditional food. Visitors will learn about Hong Kong's traditional clan culture through the day of the Tang Clan's Spring and Autumn Ancestral Worship of Clans, understand the spirit of intangible heritage through the details of Hakka tea-cake making, and experience the tolerance of immigrants through the sound of fireworks at Lok Ma Chau...... We hope to convey to the audience the most traditional, historic and daily customs and culinary culture of Yuen Long district.

     作爲香港歷史最悠久的區之一，元朗區聚集了新界原住民和大量來自不同地區的移民，並積澱了豐富的物質和非物質文化遺産。本次展覽將聚焦元朗區三個地方：下灣村，新田洲頭村與屏山鄉。結合圖像資料和口述歷史，訴說有關元朗過去的故事：歷史，宗族，節日，習俗和傳統美食。我們將透過鄧族春秋二祭的一天瞭解香港傳統宗族文化，從客家茶粿製作細節感悟非遺傳承精神，在落馬洲的花炮聲中感受移民的包容......我們希望將元朗區最傳統，最具歷史特色且富有煙火味的節日習俗，美食文化傳遞給觀衆。
