6. Cambodian Culture.html Music is an important part of Cambodian life and culture. It is used to celebrate many occasions such the use of music in cambodian culture has similarities to the use http://home.earthlink.net/~shadotclark/Music.html

Welcome Cambodian Music At the Butler School we celebrate Cambodian New Year. We learn songs and dances then present a program that all the students share in the celebration of New Year. New Years American New Year is a fun day and night. Many people go to parties and other celebrations, like First Night. People at First Night usually go see the shows and do the other activities, like go and get their face painted or get balloon animals. Later they might go see the fireworks and ice sculptures. Other people go to parties and drink alcohol. Cambodian New Year is a lot different than American New Year. They have theirs for 3 days and nights not one. They have lots of different dances. They also have Cambodian singing. The kids have money given to them, and they also have lots of food. They play games with powder and lipstick. They have to get dressed up to represent traditions of culture. American and Cambodian New year is the same in some ways. One way is they have celebrations like we do, like parades, shows, and other stuff. Another one is the families usually gather together. The last one is they both usually have parties. M.S.

Cambodian Culture The Cambodian Diet Eating then and now The ancient Khmer diet (as now) was mainly rice and fish. There were three crops of rice a year. The Khmers didn't fish from the sea but from the rivers and ponds. There were many kinds of fish such as catfish, shad, gudgeon, feather back, some sharks, and many eels, clams, prawns, turtles, and also crocodile belly. But they didn't eat frogs. At the end of the rainy season, the water recedes; fish are trapped in drying up ponds, unable to reach the Tonle Sap River. Generally, the Khmer people used salt for preserving fish. They transported salt from the coast and mountain mines. At least some of the fish from the December-January harvest must have been preserved. The Khmers did not know how to make soy sauce. They ate some fruits such as bananas, coconuts, mangoes, lichees, papayas, and oranges (but not guavas in ancient times). There were some vegetables: onions, mustard, leeks, eggplants, watermelons, squashes, cucumbers, okra, and many vegetables that grew in water. The Khmer people continue to eat lotus pods and roots and the whole of the water lilies. They drank milk from cows and goats. Khmer people were not vegetarian because they ate meat from pig and deer as is shown in a bas-relief at Bayon. They grew some fruit trees near houses and they cleaned their teeth with small pieces of poplar wood.

Cambodian Culture Festivals Cambodian New Year Pchum Ben Water Festival Day of Hatred ... Birthdays Khmer Language and Literature Language Literature Cambodian Proverbs Festivals Cambodian New Yea r The Cambodian New Year takes place from April 13th -15th, during the dry season when farmers do not work in the fields. Astrologers determine the exact time and date by calculating the exact moment the new animal protector (tiger, dragon, or snake) arrives. Cambodians spend the entire month of April in preparation for the celebration, cleaning and decorating their house with candles, lights, star shaped lanterns and flowers. During the first three days, everyone travels to the pagodas to offer food to the monks. Top ^ Pchum Ben Pchum Ben is a religious ceremony in September when everyone remembers the spirit of dead relatives. For fifteen days, people in Cambodian villages take turns bringing food to the temples or pagodas. On the fifteenth and final day, everyone dresses in their finest clothing to travel together to the pagodas. Families bring overflowing baskets of flowers, and children offer food and presents to the monks. Everyone says prayers to help their ancestors pass on to a better life. According to Khmer belief, those who do not follow the practices of Pchum Ben are cursed by their angry ancestors. Top ^ Water Festival Another very colorful festival is the Water Festival or the Festival of the Reversing Current. It takes place in late October or early November and marks the reversal of the Tonle Sap River so that it once again flows south from the Tonle Sap Lake into the Mekong River. The highlight of the three-day festival is the boat races that are held in Phnom Penh. Individual villages build their own boats by hollowing out a log to make a dugout canoe that is rowed by as many as forty people! The prow and the stern of the canoe turn upward and the prow is painted with an eye, just like the war vessels on the wall of the temples at Angkor Thom. On the first two days of the festival, pairs of boats race each other. At sunset on the third day, there is a big race and everyone believes that the river is happy, the fish will be plentiful and the rice crop will flourish.

Search Ethnomed: Nutrition and Fasting in Cambodian Culture Paysha Stockton, Author Jeniffer Huong, Community Reviewer June 1, 2001 Most of Washington state's estimated 13,000 Cambodians live in King and Pierce Counties, with the majority living in south and west Seattle neighborhoods, such as Rainier Valley and White Center. Cambodian refugees entered the state in waves in the mid and late1970s, fleeing the brutal regime of the Khmer Rouge, and continued to trickle into Seattle throughout the early and mid-1980s. Cambodians in Seattle often carry on the nutritional traditions of their homeland - much of the Cambodian diet is based on foods readily available at home. An extensive assortment of greens and tropical fruits were grown in gardens or gathered from wild plants. Poultry was raised on rural homesteads. Fish - cheaper than coveted beef and pork - was popular for main dishes, sauces and soups. These food items remain popular with Cambodians in Seattle. The shelves of local Cambodian markets in White Center and the Rainier Valley are crammed with bottled sauces and canned fruits, 50-pound bags of rice, noodles, cookies, candies and teas. Freezers are filled with catfish, mudfish, shrimp and eel. Marinated quail wings soak on ice and barbecued chickens hang by their feet. Impulse items - fried bananas, sticky rice wrapped and tied in banana leaves, plastic cups of sweet rice and green rice flour noodles - await hungry shoppers near cash registers. Local Cambodians say every food item they want to purchase is available in Seattle, though many are imported from Cambodia and Thailand, driving up prices. Jackfruit, a popular dessert, costs about $5 per pound in Seattle. In Cambodia, they are plentiful. Guava, durain, bitter leaf, sadoa leaves, bamboo shoots and wing beans are also more expensive and rare. Canned or frozen items are often more economical than fresh food. Spinach may be substituted for rare, expensive greens.

14. EthnoMed: EthnoMed: Clinical Pearl - Naming In Cambodian Culture Pearls of Cross Cultural Care Naming in cambodian culture. The most important criteria in cambodian culture is ethics, and beauty is not an essence. http://ethnomed.org/ethnomed/pearls/camb_naming.html

Search Ethnomed: Pearls of Cross Cultural Care: Naming in Cambodian Culture Submitted by Paularita Seng Harborview Medical Center Seattle, WA One feature of Cambodian names that often confuse westerners is the origin of family names and the order they are used. This can present confusion in schools and in clinics as filing systems and roll calls are developed. The Cambodian name is always spoken and written in the order of last name then first name. For example: if my last name were Soth, and my first name were Sopheap. My full name would be written as Soth Sopheap. Notice, there is no comma used to separate the last name from the first name. My family and friends will call me Sopheap, or by a nick name. In Cambodia my records would be categorized with Soth as my last name. This can cause substantial confusion in the American record keeping system because someone may think my last name is Sopheap because it is called last and use this as the filing name. I could easily end up with two files, one Soth, Sopheap, and another Sopheap, Soth. Identifying households or family groups can be equally confusing. The Cambodian children usually carry the last name of the father with some exceptions. Siblings may have different last names due to the favoritism of the parents. For example, the father of a Cambodian family name Sok, Narvaratt, has two daughters. The first daughter's name is Sok, Sophany; and the second daughter's name is Narvaratt, Keokalyan. The second daughter carries the father's first name as her last name because she is her father's favorite. Giving his first name to his favorite daughter, the father believe and feel he is closer to her.

Cambodian Culture: Geography Cambodian Performing Arts Classical Dances Folk Dance Cambodian Tradition: Khmer Culture About the Cambodian Performing Arts! There are two types of dance in the Cambodian performing dance repertory: The Court Dance or sometime called Classical dance and the Folk Dance. The Cambodian Classical Dances Cambodian Classical Dance or Court Dance of Cambodia has been enhanced for over a thousand years. The dance is a continuation of the legendary myth expressed by the celestial dancers, Apsara. Apsara dancers are carved on the walls of the Angkor temples. Most of the Classical dances are like Western plays. It is a show that tells stories usually taken from Ramayana. Traditionly women play the roles of king, queen, prince, princess, and demon. The monkey (Hanuman) is always played by men. The costumes, headdresses, masks, movements and gestures identify the characters. In classical dance, there are over four thousand five hundred-body movements, that Cambodian call "Kbach". The dance movements are continuously taught to the dancers throughout their career by Cambodian dance masters. Most professional dancers started when they were five years old and perfectly mastered the technique by average age of thirty. They started with less complicate body movement like those of children's pieces such as the Robam Bopha Lorkei to the most beautiful and gentle like in Robam Apsara. The last dance learned is the complex Demon Kbach.

Welcome Cambodian Dance Dance is divided into two categories in Cambodian Culture,Classical Dance, and Folk Dance. Before 1970 Classical Dance was really only seen by Royalty. The folk dances were done by people in the villages. They show the activities of every day life. A popular dance we learned in the gym and music classes was the Roam Vung. The Roam Vung is a dance done in a circle around a table. The music sounds like American popular music because it uses guitars,drums,and key boards. These are the dances that we are learning for our Cambodian New Year celebration at the Butler School. Interview of Angkor Dance Troupe Dancing is an important part of Cambodian life because it is a spiritual connection to Cambodian music. The dancers of the Angkor Dance Troupe learned the dances by practicing a lot. They would start at the age of six and practice in the evening and do school work in the morning. It is like school because they learned for four years then went to middle school, then when they were done middle school they went to high school. They felt a need to teach kids because they wanted to pass down traditions so that the Cambodian traditions will not die. They teach classical and folk dances.The classical dances were always performed for the royal families. The folk dances deal with every day life like farming. Some dances include the coconut, the magic scarf dance, and the monkey dance. Each dance has its own meaning. The coconut dance represents the south- west, water, and soap.

Today's Globe Politics Opinion Magazine ... Mass. Sights and sounds of Cambodian culture April 25, 2004 LOWELL Like virtually all cities in the United States, Lowell is a place built by immigrants. ADVERTISEMENT First came the English in the 1600s, then Germans, who were followed by Irish, Greeks, Portuguese, Latinos and African-Americans. The late 1970s brought Southeast Asians, many of them Cambodian refugees chased from their country by the violent regime of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge. They are a visible segment of Lowell today, numbering 10,000 just less than 10 percent of the population, according to federal census numbers, although local experts say the actual Cambodian population may be as much as three times higher. With these numbers rising, the community's focus today is to provide a positive view of Cambodian culture. This has spawned a festival of art exhibits, movies, dance performances, drama, and cooking demonstrations, named Cambodian Expressions. Samkhann Khoeun, one of the organizers of this monthlong festival, said Cambodians have a vibrant native culture, but of many of the country's artists painters, writers, and filmmakers were killed in the genocide carried out by the Khmer Rouge. ''Those who were targeted were the most intelligent of the population," said Khoeun, who lives in Lowell with his wife and four children.
