PTUTM 工大中秋俱乐部

工大中秋简介

中秋园游会的历史可追溯到1997年，自工华成立以来，工大中秋晚会和新春资料展都由工大华裔生主办的正式活动。每逢中秋期间，工华都会在Balai Cerapan举行中秋晚会。后来，由于工华分身乏术，先是于1997年初决定将中秋独立成体，更于1998年11月23日权将园游会交给中秋俱乐部筹办，本身保留为中秋俱乐部的咨询团体。工大中秋园游会是全马第一所将中秋活动地点进行在户外的大专学府。将园游会办在户外，大伙一齐提灯笼游校园、赏月，更贴近中秋节的气氛。而户外场地，则不受空间约束，筹委们拥有更多的想象空间来布置场景：湖中央的水灯笼、陆地上的走马灯、头顶上灯笼横纵分布，让人们更沉醉在中秋佳节的氛围当中，此乃工大中秋的一大特色。工大中秋一路走来，已历经19年的岁月。除了1998年第二届的中秋园游会遭腰斩外，其他的园游会都成功被举办起来。工大中秋园游会不但介绍中华文化于异族同胞、甚至异国

人民，通过举办这样的活动，也将全国华裔子民的心联系在一起，共同度过华人传统上该团圆的日子。我们不再是『独在异乡为异客』，相反，在大学当中我们依然可以体会到团圆的滋味！

PTUTM Introduction

The origins of Mooncake Festival and Cultural Night can be traced back in the year 1997, the year in which UTM Chinese Student Council was first founded. Mooncake Festival and Cultural Night (then, known as Mooncake Gathering Night) as well as Spring Festival Exhibition were the two main events of UTM Chinese Student Council. The former was usually held at Balai Cerapan every year until its disbandment from UTM Chinese Student Council in 1997, due to several reasons within the society. It was not until 23rd of November, 1998 that Mooncake Gathering Night was taken under the management of Mooncake Festival and Cultural Night Club. Its name was gradually changed to Mooncake Festival and Cultural Night, signifying the drastic changes it had undergone. To date, it is the first student-organised event taking place in an open-air venue, not inside an official hall. Its attractions include lantern parade, gigantic floating lantern, and various theme-related venue decorations. All these assets are there to make attendees feel more attached to the Mooncake Festival spirit. Furthermore, it has been 19 years since the first Mooncake Festival and Cultural Night took place, and each festival was organised successfully every year, except for the one in 1998. Mooncake Festival and Cultural Night will not only introduce Nan Yang Chinese culture to the community, it is also a platform for all individuals to gather together and celebrate this traditional Chinese celebration, regardless of races and believes.
