B. Establishing 1. Lesson Purpose

Lesson Purpose
INTRODUCTION
Asia is home to diverse cultures and religions, each with unique festivals and
rituals. Festivals showcase different cultures and communities' unique traditions,
customs, and beliefs. People can learn to appreciate and respect the culture around
them by participating in the festivities.

2
A festival can be considered a combination of material and non-material culture.
On the material side, festivals often involve physical elements such as decorations,
costumes, props, structures, and artistic creations. These tangible components
contribute to the visual aesthetics and atmosphere of the festival. For example,
during cultural or religious festivals, people may decorate their homes, streets, or
public spaces with specific colors, symbols, or traditional ornaments. Parades,
processions, and performances may involve elaborate costumes, masks, musical
instruments, floats, and other physical representations that add to the festive
experience.

However, festivals are primarily rooted in non-material culture. They manifest

intangible aspects such as traditions, rituals, customs, beliefs, and values.
Festivals often commemorate important historical, religious, or cultural events and
hold symbolic meanings within a particular community. They reflect shared
experiences, cultural identities, and social cohesion.

Festivals provide opportunities for people to unite, share food, music, and dance,
and strengthen community social bonds. Through these festivals, creative
enterprises and runways for business development are formed, and opportunities
for growth and employment are possible. These festivals provide safe spaces for
diverse creative expression, introducing talent from all backgrounds to the creative
economy.

Integrative Creative Works of Selected Asian Music and Arts

A. Lantern Festivals
a. Chinese Lantern Festival
The Chinese Lantern Festival, or yuanxiao, falls on the 15th day of the first lunar
month. It comes two weeks after Chinese New Year’s Day, the first of the 15-day
Spring Festival celebration period. On the night of the Chinese Lantern Festival,
streets are decorated with colorful lanterns, often with riddles written on them.
People eat sweet rice balls, watch dragon and lion dances, and set off fireworks.

The celebration also features music ensembles playing traditional Chinese

instruments and peppering their performance with descriptions of the instruments
and songs. Traditional Chinese instruments like the guzheng, erhu, and dizi are
often played during the festival. Traditional Chinese songs associated with the
Lantern Festival, such as “Xiao Yuan Zi” and “Da Dun Hua,” are performed by
singers or played on traditional instruments to add to the festive atmosphere.

b. Seoul Lantern Festival

Seoul Lantern Festival is an annual festival held every November in Seoul, South
Korea. Hundreds of lanterns are used to decorate the public recreation space of
Cheonggyecheon. This festival was created for two reasons. The first reason is to
welcome the winter season. The second reason is to celebrate and honor Seoul’s
history. There are lanterns such as the UNESCO Culture Heritage icons, Korean
cultural symbols, and domestic and international lantern artisanry.

B. Dance Festivals
a. Awa Odori Festivals
The Awa Dance (Awa Odori) festival is a major traditional dance festival held
annually in Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. Some key details about
the Awa Dance festivals:

5
 1. The main Awa Dance festival occurs from August 12-15 each year in
Tokushima City during the Obon holiday season.
2. Thousands of dancers, organized into groups called “rens,” perform the
lively, energetic Awa Dance in the streets of Tokushima.
3. The dance features a cheerful, boisterous rhythm known as “zomeki”
and is accompanied by traditional Japanese instruments like shamisen,
taiko drums, and flutes.
4. Dancers wear colorful yukata (summer kimono) and happi coats, often
competing for the most unique and elaborate costumes and dance
routines.

b. Whirling Dervish Dance Festival

The whirling dervish festival is an annual celebration in Konya, Turkey, that
commemorates the life and teachings of Jalaluddin Rumi, the 13th-century Islamic
scholar, poet, and mystic. The key highlights of Whirling Dervish Dance Festivals;
1. The festival takes place over ten days in December, usually around the
anniversary of Rumi’s death on December 17th.
2. It is held in Konya, the spiritual home of the Mevlevi order founded by
Rumi’s followers, which practices the sema ceremony of whirling
dervishes.
3. The sema ceremony involves Sufi Muslim dancers, known as semazen,
who whirl in rhythmic patterns while trance-like to achieve spiritual
unity with the divine.
4. The dancers wear long white robes and tall hats, symbolizing the
shedding of one’s ego. Their whirling movements and rising skirts are
meant to represent the journey of the soul towards God.

C. Music Plays
a. Talchum
Talchum is a traditional Korean mask dance drama encompassing dance, music,
and theatre. Key points about Talchum;
1. Talchum involves masked performers who humorously explore social
issues through dramatic combinations of songs, dances, movements,
and dialogue.
2. The practice uses caricatures of everyday characters to convey an
underlying appeal to universal equality and criticism of social hierarchy.
3. Talchum performances do not require a formal stage – any space can

6
 become a venue, and the audience plays an essential role by
contributing cheers and jeers as the drama unfolds.
4. Talchum has historically served as a means for the common people to
express their frustrations and criticize the elite ruling class through
satire, parody, and free speech.

with the Yuan Xiao festival. The costumes, props, and stages used in the lion and
dragon dances are also material aspects of the festival celebrations. The fireworks
and firecrackers set off during the festival are physical, tangible elements of the
celebrations.

Non-Material Culture:
The traditions, rituals, customs, beliefs, and intangible aspects underlying the
festival are non-material. For example, the symbolic meanings behind the round
tangyuan representing family reunion and the lion/dragon dances bringing good
luck are non-material cultural elements. The celebration's shared sense of
community, cultural memories, and social interactions during the festival are also
non-material aspects.

Festivals combine the physical, tangible elements (material culture) and the
intangible, symbolic aspects (non-material culture) that give the celebration rich
cultural significance.

Activity #4: Paper Lanterns
The history of Chinese paper lanterns is mysterious. Originally used to protect the
flame from the wind, lanterns soon became culturally and religiously significant.
Before paper was ever used to make books, messages, and stylized symbols were
painted on paper lanterns to express Buddhist ideals and sentiments and
symbolically transmit these to the world.
9
 There are different types of paper lanterns:
● Hanging Lanterns- most common and practical style
● Flying Lanterns- made of light paper and lifted by the hot air.
● Floating Lanterns are used during festivals near lakes, rivers, or ponds.
