Celebrating family and honouring our elders
Celebrated for over 2000 years, the Cheung Yung Festival reflects many values and beliefs that Chinese people hold dear: the importance of family and respect for the elders and ancestors. Originating from the tradition of honoring ancestors and promoting familial bonds, this day encourages us to celebrate our connections with loved ones and show gratitude for the wisdom of our elders.
During this festival, families may gather to share meals, go hiking to reflect on reaching new heights, visit their ancestors’ gravestones to pay respects to those who came before us, and more.
Let’s embrace the beautiful essence of the Cheung Yung Festival by cherishing our family ties and honoring the elders and ancestors who enrich our lives.
