中秋節:大坑舞火龍 1997 (Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance 1997)
大坑舞火龍為香港中秋節期間一項大型傳統活動,一連三天舉行,以保大坑居民合境平安。火龍龍身全長220呎(67米),分成32節,先以粗麻繩紮成龍骨,再用稻草紮成(現改用珍珠草)龍身。龍頭由藤條屈曲為骨架;龍牙以鋸齒的鐵片造成;雙眼是手電筒;舌頭是漆紅的木片,而帶引舞龍的珠球是個插滿線香的沙田柚,一共兩個,而全條龍身均插上逾萬支火紅的長壽香,在夜間生龍舞動。
大坑舞火龍於2011年列入第三批國家級非遺代表性項目名錄。
Mid-autumn Festival 中秋節:Villagers have performed the three-day fire dragon dance every year to pray for peace in Tai Hang. Fire Dragon is altogether 220 feet long with its body divided into 32 segments, all of which are stuffed with straw and stuck full of incense sticks, estimate made with several tens of thousands glowing incense sticks winds through the streets down to Tin Hau.
Tai Hang fire dragon dance was inscribed onto the third national list of ICH in 2011.
