Duanwu Festival - 16Jun2010

Duanwu Festival (Chinese: 端午節), also known as Dragon Boat Festival, is a traditional and statutory holiday associated with Chinese and other East Asian and Southeast Asian societies as well. It is a public holiday in Taiwan, where it is known by the Mandarin name Duānwǔ Jié, as well as in Hong Kong and Macau, where it is known by the Cantonese name Tuen Ng Jit. In 2008, the festival was restored in China as an official national holiday. The festival is also celebrated in countries with significant Chinese populations, such as in Singapore and Malaysia. Equivalent and related festivals outside Chinese-speaking societies include the Kodomo no hi in Japan, Dano in Korea, and Tết Đoan Ngọ in Vietnam.

端午節為每年農曆五月初五,又稱端陽節、午日節、五月節、五日節、艾節、端五、重午、午日、夏節,本來是夏季的一個驅除瘟疫的節日,後來楚國詩人屈原於端午節投江自盡,就變成紀念屈原的節日(一說紀念吳國忠臣伍子胥的忌日),與春節、中秋等節日同屬東亞文化圈的中國、日本、韓國、越南的重要傳統節日。

Pac-man - 22May2010

Pac-Man (Japanese: パックマン Pakkuman) is an arcade game developed by Namco and licensed for distribution in the United States by Midway, first released in Japan on May 22, 1980.[1][2] Immensely popular from its original release to the present day, Pac-Man is universally considered as one of the classics of the medium, virtually synonymous with video games, and an icon of the 1980s popular culture. Upon its release, the game—and, subsequently, Pac-Man derivatives—became a social phenomenon[6] that sold a bevy of merchandise and also inspired, among other things, an animated television series and a top-ten hit single.[7]

食鬼(Pac-Man)是電子遊戲歷史上的經典街機遊戲,由Namco公司的岩谷徹設計並由Midway Games在1980年發行。缺了一角的薄餅是岩谷徹創作此遊戲的靈感來源[1]。

Pac-Man在80年代風靡全球,被認為是最經典的街機遊戲之一,遊戲的主角食鬼的形象甚至被作為一種大眾文化符號,或是此產業的代表形象。它的開發商Namco也把這個形象作為其吉祥物和公司的標誌,一直沿用至今。
