| description | As a special ethnic group in Macao and an outcome of Oriental-Western cultural communications and inter-ethnic contacts, the Macanese people are of great research value in sociology, ethnology, and cultural studies. This article analyzes the situations of three categories of Macanese reunions, namely religious rituals, traditional celebrations, and thematic celebrations. Four points are maintained in this article: (a) religious activities as "rituals" are god–man and man–man interactions; (b) with the application of social media, traditional celebrations as "ceremonies" represent "the invention of tradition," old and new; (c) homage to "models" and historic glories carries significant meaning for thematic reunions as "celebrations"; (d) the cultural identity of the Macanese people is an important premise for defining their ethnicity. |
