Cantonese Culture in Hong Kong
About This Novel
Hong Kong has a special status in Guangdong culture. The city itself is a center where global and local, traditional and modern, and various elements merge and intersect. The culture derived from it is also a mixture of Chinese and Western, old and new, elegance and customs. The pop music, movies, comics, advertisements, art, architectural styles, etc. Bred by this culture have always attracted the attention of the entire Asia and the world. Under the influence of factors such as the transfer of sovereignty back to the motherland, the opening of the mainland's economy, border clearance, and free travel, Hong Kong is changing, and the local culture closely connected with it is also changing. Many familiar traditions are gradually disappearing or transforming; the Cantonese culture that once swept Asia continues to be impacted by strong cultures from surrounding areas. Even the Cantonese language itself, which is closely related to citizens' lives, is also in the process of evolution and rebirth. This book is compiled into three parts: popular culture, living space and tradition, and identity and resources, with a total of thirteen articles. As researchers and observers of Guangdong culture, in addition to reflection and criticism, the authors also elaborated on their personal sighs and admiration for the increasingly changing Guangdong culture and the new ways of its reproduction, expounding what they were fascinated by, or offering warnings and worries. If we don't insist on whether this is progress or regression, we may be able to discover more.
