I te memeha haere o te wera o te raumati, ā, ka huri te hau kia mātao, ka whakakīia ngā ngākau o te tini me te mano huri noa i te ao e te tumanako. Mō ngā hapori Hainamana me ngā kaiwhaiwhai ahurea o te ao katoa, ko tēnei wā o te tau te tohu o te taenga mai o te Hakari Waenga-ngahuru—he hararei e kapi ana i te hītori, te tohu, me te hiahia whānui mō te hononga. E mōhiotia ana ko te Hakari Marama, ko Zhongqiu Jie rānei i te reo Mandarin, ka taka ki te 15 o ngā rā o te waru o ngā marama marama, i te wā e whakaponohia ana ko te marama te mea tino porowhita, te mea tino kanapa, me te mea tino mārama. Ko tēnei huihuinga rangi he kupu whakarite kaha mō te katoa, te huihuinga whānau, me ngā hononga pumau e neke atu ana i te tawhiti. Ehara i te mea he rā hararei noa iho, ko te Hakari Waenga-ngahuru he tikanga ora, e raranga ana i ngā pūrākau tawhito, ngā pakiaka ahuwhenua, me ngā whakanuinga hou ki roto i tētahi whatu e whakahonore ana i te wā o mua me te awhi i te wā o nāianei.
Ngā Pūtake: Ngā Pakiwaitara, Ngā Kotinga, me Ngā Pūtake Tawhito
Neke atu i te 3,000 tau te roa o te Hakari o Waenganui-ngahuru, ā, i ahu mai i ngā mahi ahuwhenua me ngā kōrero tuku iho ora. Ko ōna tohu tuatahi ka kitea i te wā o te Whare Ariki o Shang (1600–1046 BCE), i te wā i tū ai ngā huihuinga Hainamana tawhito hei karakia ki te marama. Kāore i rite ki ngā huihuinga whakanui o ēnei rā, he huihuinga tapu ēnei kawa o mua, e aro ana ki te whakawhetai ki te atua o te marama mō te kotinga nui. I whakapono ngā kaimahi pāmu ko ngā huringa o te marama te mea e awe ana i te tipu o ngā hua—ko tōna kanapa ngawari e ārahi ana i te whakamakuku i te pō, ā, ko ōna āhua e tohu ana i te wā tika ki te whakato me te kotinga. Ehara i te mea he mahi wairua noa iho te whakahonore i te marama engari he huarahi hei whakarite i te oranga o te heke mai, e hono ana te hakari ki ngā manawataki o te taiao.
I te huringa o te wā, ka hanumi ēnei tikanga ahuwhenua ki te pūrākau me te kōrero pakiwaitara, ā, ka hoatu he tuakiri kōrero nui ki te hakari. Ko te mea rongonui o ēnei pūrākau ko te kōrero mō Chang'e, te Atua Wahine o te Marama, he kōrero kua tukuna iho i roto i ngā whakatipuranga, ā, kei te noho tonu hei kaupapa matua mō ngā whakanuinga o Waenganui-ngahuru i ēnei rā. E ai ki te pūrākau, ko Chang'e te wahine a Hou Yi, he kaikopere mohio. I ngā wā onamata, tekau ngā rā i ara ake i te rangi, ka wera te whenua, ka whakawehi i te tangata ki te tauraki. I pupuhi a Hou Yi i te iwa o ngā rā, ka whakaorangia te ao, ā, i whakawhiwhia ki te rongoā o te ora tonu. I hoatu e ia te rongoā ki a Chang'e kia tiakina, me te tohutohu i a ia kia kaua e inu. Heoi, i ngana tetahi hoa apo o Hou Yi ki te tahae i te rongoā i a ia e ngaro ana. Hei tiaki i a ia, i inu a Chang'e i te rongoā, ā, ka rere ki te marama, ki reira ia e noho ana mai i taua wā, me te rāpeti jade anake. I ia tau i te Hakari o Waenganui-o-te-Ngahuru, ka titiro ake te iwi ki te marama, me te tumanako ka kite i a Chang'e me tana rāpeti, ka tuku i ō rātou hiahia mō te huihuinga me te harikoa ki ngā whanaunga tata me ngā whanaunga i tawhiti.
Ko tētahi atu tino tangata o te kōrero tuku iho o te Ngahuru ko Wu Gang, he kaitā rakau i whiua e ngā atua ki te tua i tētahi rākau osmanthus ora tonu i te marama. Ahakoa te kaha o tana tua, ka ora te rākau i a ia anō i te pō kotahi, ka tukuna ia ki tētahi mahi mutunga kore. Mai i taua wā kua noho te rākau osmanthus hei tohu mō te hakari—ko ōna putiputi kakara reka e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā kai reka me ngā tī tuku iho, me tōna ahua e whakapaipai ana i ngā rama me ngā whakapaipai. I te taha o ēnei, ka tāpirihia e ngā kōrero a Chang'e rāua ko Wu Gang te hohonutanga me te makutu ki te hakari, ka huri i tētahi whakanuinga kotinga māmā hei āhuatanga ahurea whai kiko me te tikanga.
Te Whanaketanga o tētahi Hakari: Mai i ngā Tikanga Emepaea ki ngā Whakanuitanga o te Ao
Ahakoa he tawhito ngā pūtake o te Hakari Waenga-ngahuru, kua whanake haere tōna āhua hou i roto i ngā rautau, nā ngā huringa o te whare rangatira, ngā panonitanga pāpori, me te whakawhitiwhiti ahurea i hangaia. I te wā o te Whare Ariki o Tang (618–907 CE), ka tīmata te hakari ki te whakanui ake i te āhua hakari. I tū ngā whānau emepaea i ngā hakari nui i raro i te marama, i reira ngā kaitito i tito whiti hei whakanui i te ataahua o te marama, ā, i whakatangihia e ngā kaiwaiata ngā rangi tuku iho. I uru atu hoki ngā tāngata noa, i huihui ki te whānau ki te kai tahi, ki te rere rama, me te matakitaki i te marama. I roto i tēnei wā i honoa tuatahitia ai ngā keke marama—ko te kai rongonui o te hakari ināianei—ki te whakanui, ahakoa i te tīmatanga he keke noa iho i whakakiia ki ngā pīni reka, ki te whakapiri purapura rōhi rānei.
Ko te Whare Ariki o Song (960–1279 CE) te wā i huri ai te Hakari o Waenganui-ngahuru, i te mea ka noho hei hararei mana. I piki haere te rongonui o ngā keke marama, ā, ka tīmata te hanga i ngā āhua me ngā reka tino hirahira, he maha ngā wā i tāia ki ngā hoahoa o te marama, o Chang'e, o ngā putiputi osmanthus rānei. I noho hoki ngā rama hei wāhanga matua o ngā whakanuinga—he mea hanga uaua ki ngā āhua o ngā kararehe, o ngā putiputi, me ngā mea hanga pūrākau, i tahuna, i haria hoki i ngā tiriti, ka huri i ngā pō hei moana mārama. I kitea anō hoki i tēnei wā te aranga ake o ngā "pāti mātakitaki-marama," i reira ka huihui ngā tohunga me ngā kaitoi ki ngā māra, ka inu waina, ka kōrero mō te rapunga whakaaro i a rātou e titiro ana ki te marama. Nā ēnei huihuinga i whakapakari te ingoa o te hakari hei wā whakaaroaro, auahatanga, me te whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro.
I ngā wā o te Ming (1368–1644 CE) me te Qing (1644–1912 CE), kua noho te Hakari o Waenganui-ngahuru hei tikanga arohaina puta noa i ngā akomanga pāpori katoa. I whanake haere tonu ngā keke marama, me te whakaurunga o ngā toene hua manu tote ki waenganui—e tohu ana i te marama katoa—me te whānuitanga o ngā whakakī, tae atu ki te pīni whero, te purapura rōhi, tae atu ki ngā mea reka pērā i te hāmi. I noho hoki te hakari hei wā mō te tuku koha, i te mea ka whakawhitiwhiti ngā tāngata i ngā keke marama me ngā hua ki ngā hoa, te whānau, me ngā hoa mahi hei tohu i te ngākau pai. I ētahi rohe, i puta mai ngā tikanga ahurei: hei tauira, i te Porowini o Guangdong, i whakahaerehia e ngā tāngata ngā huihuinga "panga rama", i tuhia ai ngā panga ki ngā rama, ā, ko te hunga i whakaoti i aua panga ka toa i ngā taonga iti. I te Porowini o Fujian, ka rere ngā whānau i ngā rama rangi, ka tuhi i ā rātou hiahia ki runga i ngā rama i mua i te tukunga atu ki te rangi pō, ka rere ake ki runga pērā i ngā whetu ririki.
I ngā rautau 20 me 21, kua hipa ake te Hakari o Waenganui-ngahuru i ōna takenga mai Hainamana, ā, kua noho hei whakanuinga ā-ao. I te horapa haere o ngā hapori Hainamana puta noa i te ao—mai i Singapore me Malaysia ki te United States me Europe—i kawea mai e rātou te hakari, me te urutau ki ngā ahurea o te rohe, me te pupuri tonu i ōna tikanga matua. I ngā tāone pēnei i a New York, London, me Sydney, ko ngā huihuinga tūmatanui o Waenganui-ngahuru he kanikani tarakona, he whakaaturanga raiona, he whakaaturanga rama, me ngā tūnga kai e hoko keke marama me ētahi atu kai reka Hainamana. Ehara i te mea ka whakakotahi noa ēnei whakanuinga i ngā hapori Hainamana engari ka whakaatu hoki i te ataahua me te tikanga o te hakari ki ngā tāngata o ngā momo ahurea katoa, ka poipoi i te māramatanga me te maioha ki ngā ahurea maha.
Ngā Whakanuitanga o te Ao Hou: Te Whakahonore i te Tikanga Tuku Iho i te Ao Hurihuri
I ēnei rā, ko te Hakari o Waenganui-ngahuru tonu te wā mō te huihuinga whānau, ahakoa kua tāpirihia e te ao hou ngā huringa hou ki ngā tikanga tawhito. Mō te tini o te tangata, ka tīmata te hakari me te tina whānau - he hakari o ngā rihi tuku iho pēnei i te tāki tunutunu, te poaka tunutunu, me te kōura wai māori, he tohu katoa mō te nui me te whai rawa. I muri i te tina, ka huihui ngā whānau ki waho (i te taha rānei o te matapihi, mena he kino te rangi) ki te matakitaki i te marama katoa, i te nuinga o te wā e kai ana i ngā keke marama me te inu waina osmanthus, tī rānei. Ko ngā keke marama, inā koa, kua whanake kia rite ki ngā reka o ēnei rā: ahakoa kei te rongonui tonu ngā reka tawhito pēnei i te purapura rōhi me te pīni whero, kei reira ngā keke marama "auaha" kua whakakiia ki te tiakarete, te aihikirīmi, te matcha, tae noa ki te caramel tote. Ka tukuna hoki e ētahi toa keke marama "hauora", he mea hanga ki ngā whakakī iti-huka, ki ngā kirinuku witi katoa rānei, hei whakatutuki i ngā kaihoko e aro nui ana ki te hauora.
Ko ngā rama he tohu pumau anō hoki mō te hakari, ahakoa kua rerekē te hoahoa i te huringa o te wā. Ko ngā rama pepa tuku iho, he mea peita ā-ringa ki ngā whakaaturanga o ngā kōrero tuku iho Hainamana, kei te rongonui tonu, engari inaianei kei te kitea ngā rama LED—he kanapa, he kanapa, he penapena hiko. I ētahi tāone nui, ka whakatūria ngā whakaaturanga rama nui ki ngā pāka, ki ngā tapawhā tūmatanui rānei, ka kukume mai i te mano tini o ngā manuhiri. Ko tētahi o ngā whakaaturanga rongonui kei te Pāka Wikitōria o Hong Kong, kei reira ngā mano tini o ngā rama (tae atu ki tētahi rama nui he rite te āhua ki te marama) e whakamārama ana i te rangi pō, e hanga ana i tētahi āhuarangi makutu.
Mō ngā whakatipuranga taitamariki, he wā anō hoki te Hakari o Waenganui-ngahuru mō te ngahau me te whakahoahoa. He maha ngā taiohi e whakarite ana i ngā "rōpū mātakitaki-marama" me ngā hoa, e takaro ana i ngā kēmu, e tango whakaahua ana me ngā rāneti, e tohatoha keke marama ana hoki. I ngā tau tata nei, kua whai wāhi nui ngā pāpāho pāpori ki te whakanui i te hakari: ka tuku te tangata i ngā whakaahua o ā rātou tina whānau, ngā whakaaturanga rāneti, ngā keke marama rānei ki ngā papaaho pēnei i a WeChat, Instagram, me TikTok, e tohatoha ana i ō rātou harikoa ki ngā hoa me ngā kaiwhaiwhai huri noa i te ao. Kua uru atu hoki ētahi waitohu ki te waka o Waenganui-ngahuru, e tuku ana i ngā keke marama putanga iti, e mahi tahi ana rānei me ngā kaitoi ki te waihanga i ngā hoahoa rāneti ahurei, e whakakotahi ana i ngā tikanga tuku iho me te hokohoko hou.
Ahakoa ēnei whakarerekētanga hou, ko te tikanga matua o te Hakari Waenga-ngahuru kāore i rerekē: he whakanui i te kotahitanga, te whakawhetai, me te tumanako. I roto i te ao e wehewehea ana te tangata e te tawhiti, te mahi, te pukumahi rānei, ka whakamahara mai te hakari ki a tātou i te hiranga o te whakaroa, te hono atu ki ngā hoa aroha, me te maioha ki ngā harikoa ngawari o te ao. Ahakoa kei te huihui koe i te tēpu kai me te whānau, kei te miharo ki ngā rama i roto i te pāka, kei te tuku keke marama rānei ki tētahi hoa i tawhiti, ko te Hakari Waenga-ngahuru he wā hei whakahonore i te wā o mua, hei manaaki i te wā o nāianei, me te titiro whakamua ki tētahi heke mai e ki ana i te harikoa me te huihuinga anō.
Whakamutunga: He Hakari mō ngā Wā Katoa
Ehara i te mea he hararei noa iho te Hakari o Waenganui-ngahuru—he taonga ahurea, he tohu mō te mana pumau o te tikanga tuku iho, me te whakanui i te hiahia o te tangata ki te hononga. Mai i ōna tīmatanga iti hei tikanga ahuwhenua i Haina tawhito ki tōna tūranga hei whakanuinga ā-ao, kua whanake te hakari me te huringa o te wā, engari kāore i warewarehia ōna uara matua: te whānau, te whakawhetai, me te ataahua o te marama.
I a tātou e titiro ake ana ki te marama katoa i te 15 o ngā rā o te waru o ngā marama, ehara i te mea ko te whakamoemiti noa iho ki tētahi tinana tiretiera tā tātou e hono atu ana ki tētahi tikanga tuku iho e 3,000 tau te pakeke, he mekameka maharatanga me ngā whakanuitanga e hono ana i a tātou ki ō tātou tūpuna me te kotahi ki tētahi. Ka whakaaro tātou ki a Chang'e me tōna kāinga mokemoke i te marama, ki a Wu Gang me tana mahi mutunga kore, ki ngā kaimahi pāmu e whakawhetai ana mō te kotinga pai, me ngā whānau e huihui ana i muri i ngā marama o te wehenga. I taua wā, he wāhanga tātou katoa o tētahi mea nui atu i a tātou anō—he hapori o te ao e herea ana e ngā kōrero tahi, ngā tikanga tahi, me ngā tumanako tahi.
Nō reira, i tēnei Hakari o Waenganui-o-te-Ngahuru, me whai wā poto ki te okioki. Kai i te keke marama, tahuna he rama, ka titiro ake ki te marama. Tukuna he oha ki tētahi e arohaina ana, noho puku rānei, ka maioha ki te ataahua o te pō. Mā te mahi pera, ehara i te mea ko te whakanui noa i tētahi hakari—kei te pupuri tonu koe i tētahi tikanga tuku iho, he mea ka tiaho tonu, pērā i te marama katoa, mō ngā whakatipuranga e haere ake nei.
