Chingay Parade (South East Asia) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chingay

The Chingay Parade is an annual street parade held in Penang, Malaysia in celebration with the birthdays of the Chinese deities or the procession of the Goddess of Mercy ( Guanyin ),and inSingapore[1] as part of the Chinese New Year festivities. The term Chingay itself originated in Southeast Asia, which is a phonetic equivalent of both the Chinese words “真艺” which means “true art” in the Penang version, and “妆艺”, which means “a decorated miniature stage” or float in the Singapore version.

Origin

Chingay procession was held in celebration with the birthdays of the Chinese deities or the procession of the Goddess of Mercy ( Guanyin ).[2] It was held to worship and enjoy with the deity. During the earliest procession in more than 100 years ago, the earliest English newspapers Echo in Malaysia adopted the word Chingay Procession for this special event.[3]

Chingay is originated from China, and the Penang Chinese first performed Chingay during deity processions.[4] It is a street art where the performer balances a giant flag that ranges from 25 ft to 32 ft in height and about 60 pounds in weigh.

Today, in Malaysia and Singapore, Chingay is not only performed by the Chinese, but the art has successfully attracted the Malays and Indians. It has become a unique multiracial performance. The popularity of Chingay in Penang has made it one of the very impressive cultural landmarks as well as an important tourist attraction.[5]

Chingay in Malaysia

The Chingay Parade traces its origins to a float decorating competition held in Penang in 1905. This practice of float decoration spread to the rest of Malaya by the 1960s, and eventually became associated with the Chinese New Year.

Chingay in Singapore

On 4 February 1973, the first Singapore Chingay parade was held partly as a result of the ban on firecrackers a year earlier in 1972 as a result of fire hazards….

An estimated 150,000 spectators attended the 2009 Chingay Parade on February 1. One million Singaporeans watched the parade on television and another 16.3 million homes and hotels across Asia received the television broadcast through Channel NewsAsia….
