DESCRIPTION:
Ging Zat, (sometimes spelled Ging Zit in English) or "Awaking of the insects" in Chinese, is a rather funny tradition in Hong Kong culture. It's the day each year when insects emerge from hibernation, and tradition states that the gates of hell open and the spirits of the dead return to the world of the living. It is a time to honor and appease these spirits with offerings of food and other gifts. The aggrieved persons hit a paper puppet of a villain or an enemy with a shoe or slipper to expel lousy luck and misfortune and ward off negativity and evil spirits.
Effigies represent a specific person, such as a political figure, spurned lover, or a business rival. Participants may take turns hitting it with a shoe or slipper while shouting insults and curses; it is quite effective at releasing negative emotions and channeling them into the representation rather than the actual person.
