As a child, I watched the fascinating traditional festival of piāo se on television. Two of the activities were particularly fascinating: grabbing buns and floating colours.

A piao se performance consists of a "color cabinet," a "color core," and "color stems." The color cabinet is a cabinet inlaid with an iron frame, resembling a mobile performance platform. Atop this is a color stem (an iron frame) that supports the color core (the child performing). When the color cabinet moves, the color core, perched on the color stem, appears to float in the air, hence the name "piao se."

This time, the piao se protagonist in my work is Sun Wukong, a character from Journey to the West. I used a diamond rod to lift the entire figure, making it float like a piao se character. I then used a traditional bamboo chair, placed a pyramid-shaped bun, and finally, added an old Hong Kong manhole cover to support the entire intangible cultural heritage piece, creating a visual parade through the streets.

The art of Piu Sik (Floating Colours) Making Technique is an important intangible cultural heritage of Hong Kong and one of its most representative folk activities, particularly exemplified in the traditional Cheung Chau Jiao Festival. The floating parade performance consists of three components: the "float base" (a large wooden box with an embedded iron frame at the bottom, serving as a mobile stage), the "performer" (a children performer), and the "float stem" (the iron stand that supports the “performer"). Creating these floats requires meticulous design and exceptional craftsmanship to produce cleverly concealed stand that enhance the performance effect. Children dressed as mythological figures, historical characters, or satirical representations of contemporary figures are supported by hidden stand, creating the visual illusion of floating in mid-air. This captivating and novel spectacle often becomes the highlight of the parade, leaving the audience in awe.
