甲辰年青衣擔杆山盂蘭勝會
今年青衣擔杆山的盂蘭勝會於中午1時舉行了隆重的出海祭祀儀式,祭拜吸水門和船廠中已逝去的市民。雖然我們從九龍城趕到時已經是1時15分,錯過了跟隨師傅一同出海的機會,但中午和晚上仍然有精彩的走朝和祭幽儀式供我們參與。到了晚上10時,更有盛大的大士王巡遊和化大士儀式,可見整個盂蘭勝會活動可在短短一天內完成。
值得一提的是,除了兩位熱愛中華文化的日本友人外,今年還有許多青衣街坊前來觀禮。之前他們往往會刻意回避這個節慶,但今年卻主動前來一睹盂蘭勝會的風采。他們終於明白, 會場是最受神明看顧的地方。
雖然船廠工業日漸式微,曾有停辦的傳聞,但經過深入了解,相信這個傳統的盂蘭勝會活動仍會得以持續舉辦。希望未來能夠吸引更多青衣街坊的參與,讓這項傳統節慶活動薪火相傳,在這片海濱社區生生不息。

Tsing Yi Tam Kon Shan Yu Lan Festival 2024
The solemn sea sacrifice ritual of the Yue Lan Festival celebration at Tsing Yi Tam Kon Shan was held at 1pm this year. They paid respects to the Water Gate and the departed residents of the boatyards. Although we arrived at 1:15pm from Kowloon City, missing the chance to join the masters at sea, we were still able to participate in the impressive morning procession and spirit sacrifice rituals in the afternoon and evening. The Ghost King parade and transfiguration ceremony took place at 10pm, demonstrating how the entire Yue Lan Festival program can be completed in a single day.
Notably, in addition to two Japanese friends who are passionate about Chinese culture, many Tsing Yi residents also came to witness the event this year. Previously, they tended to avoid this festival, but this time they actively attended to experience the Yue Lan Festival grandeur. They have finally understood that the event venue is the place most blessed by the deities.
Although the boatyard industry has been declining, with rumors of the festival being discontinued, in-depth investigation revealed that this traditional Yue Lan Festival celebration will continue to be held. It is hoped that in the future, more Tsing Yi residents will participate, allowing this traditional festival to be passed down and thrive in this coastal community.
