According to Guangya, “jiao” is offerings. In Shouwen Jiezi, jiao equals to the coming-of-age ceremony, wedding ceremony and sacrificial offerings. Therefore, jiao means to worship god, to pray for good luck, as well as to celebrate. Hong Kong’s jiao festivals can be divided into two main types – Tai Ping Qing Jiao and On Lung Qing Jiao.
