Every year on the sixth month and the seventh and the eighth day of the lunar calendar, the''Kháu-ôo Khan-tsuí-tsng Cultural Festival''held by the Wanshangye Temple in Kouhu Township, Yunlin County, is a very special religious activity in Taiwanese folk beliefs. It is mainly for remembering the historic floods tragedy that occurred here in 1845 (Dao Guang twenty-fifth years, Qing Dynasty), and has been held around for generations. On March 11, 2011, Japan met with the disaster misfortune, a Tsunami. The six major encountered counties in the northeast (Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, Yamagata, Akita) in order to revive and rebuild, they collect six representative summer festival activities separately from each county, jointly held a meaning''Six Soul Festival in the Northeast''and named''Tohoku Rokkon Festival''to pray for the blessings of the dead people, and to strive for the hope in the northeast of Japan from 2011 to 2016. The Tohoku Rokkon Festival has been held in two days every year in those 6 cities in turn. Since 2017, the new name''Tohoku-kizuna Festival''has been used instead. Although both the Kouhu Township in Taiwan and the northeast area in Japan suffer from water-related disasters, the remembering ceremonies and festivals are quite different in the origin essentially: the Tohoku Rokkon Festival implied to promote the tourism and revitalize the economy of the northeastern of Japan, yet the Kháu-ôo Khan-tsuí-tsng Cultural Festival in Kouhu Township is still the main connotation of cautious pursuit of the ancestors. It is worth noting that the above festivals both contain their own bodily elements. In this article, the case study research method and the literature analysis method are used to explore how the cultural phenomenon, and the interactions between people and Gods, inscribe their bodies. These two festivals, both interweaved by their intangible cultural heritage roles and regional characteristics, after revealing the dance ceremonies or ritual body works among them, the bodily elements inside the festival tourism may be exposed through the diverse imaginations of bodylore in the future. |
