knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe

Tug-of-war rituals and games in the rice crops of East and Southeast Asia are practiced in communities to ensure bountiful harvests and prosperity. They promote social solidarity, entertainment and mark the beginning of a new agricultural cycle. Many rituals and games also have deep religious significance. Most variations have two teams, each holding the end of a rope trying to pull it to the other side. The intentionally non-competitive nature of the event removes the focus on winning or losing, asserting that these traditions are carried out to promote the well-being of communities, and reminding members of the importance of cooperation. Many tug of war games bear traces of agricultural rituals, symbolizing the strength of natural elements such as sun and rain while also associating mythological elements or purification rites. Rituals and tug of war games are often organized in front of the town hall or the village sanctuary, preceded by commemorative rites in homage to local deities. The village elders play an active role in leading and organizing the younger ones and in performing accompanying rituals. Tug of war rituals and games also serve to strengthen unity and solidarity as well as a sense of belonging and identity among community members.Hoatdongsv4.JPG
