"Experience the charm of Chinese culture in Xuzhou, and exchange and learn from each other's civilizations" -- a series of activities for foreign friends to experience Chinese culture in Xuzhou
2021-05-09Meng Xia is coming, and all things are showing together; Xuzhou is fragrant and colorful in May.
On May 8, the launching ceremony of "experience the charm of the Han Dynasty in Xuzhou, exchange and mutual learning of Civilizations" - a series of activities for foreign friends to experience the Han culture in Xuzhou "was held in the Han culture scenic spot. New and old friends at home and abroad gathered together to enjoy the friendship, taste the culture of the two Han Dynasties, and enjoy the beautiful landscape. More than 90 people attended the event, including more than 70 foreign friends in Xu, mainly including foreign experts and relatives in Xu, representatives of overseas students, etc.
This Han culture experience activity is a powerful measure for the Municipal People's Association for friendship with foreign countries to build a new platform for exchanges and deepen folk exchanges. It is also a vivid practice of telling Xuzhou stories well and strengthening exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign civilizations.
At the launch ceremony on the same day, Xu foreign friends and guests were immersed in the combination of hardness and softness of the famous Han Dynasty dance "Drum Dance". Dancers dressed in Han costumes crept high and gently on the drums, floating and kneeling, and stepped out of rhythm, which won bursts of applause and constant exclamation from foreign friends. Everyone couldn't wait to wear Han costumes to experience Xuzhou's Han culture in person.
After the launching ceremony, foreign friends came to the Terra Cotta Warriors Museum and carefully examined the terracotta warriors in different postures. These small Terra Cotta Warriors also planted a "Han" seed in their hearts. Everyone came to the Han culture experience area with enthusiasm. Experience projects such as movable type printing, pottery making, rubbing, pot throwing, guqin, Han suit fitting and so on were dazzling. The music performed by the Guqin is sweet and beautiful, like a sweet and clear spring flowing gently, conveying the beauty of ancient Chinese, which makes foreign friends fascinated. After the teacher finished playing, everyone also sat on the piano stool and fiddled with the strings in front of them.
The thick, thin, moderate and tenacious raw rice paper is covered on the stone slab. The lines of the four elephant gods and beasts engraved on the stone slab are smooth and primitive. Spray the rice paper evenly with clean water, and use the brush to strike the transparent film on it with force, so that the lines appear... Song Liya, a Russian student from China University of mining and technology, experienced the traditional rubbing technique under the guidance of the staff of the museum.
Spreading is an ancient skill spread in China for thousands of years, and it is also an intangible cultural heritage. After learning how to make rubbings, songliya was surprised that she could copy text and images without the help of any scientific and technological means. "I have been in Xuzhou for six years, and I am deeply attracted by the traditional culture here. I hope to continue to be exposed to more traditional culture in the future." Songliya carefully peeled off the rice paper that had been evenly inked, and a rosefinch rubbings with clear patterns was completed.
During the whole experience, the hottest thing is to try on Han suit. Hanfu carries the spirit of Chinese culture. It has long sleeves, praises clothes, and pays attention to the unity of heaven and man, showing Chinese wisdom and Oriental beauty. We choose a favorite Hanfu, put it on, tie a belt, take out a mobile phone and hand it to our companions, or take a group photo in groups in Hanfu in front of Guqin.
Shock, surprise, praise... All the way, foreign friends have left a deep impression on Xuzhou's Han culture. Fumary, acting Consul General of Austria in Shanghai, said in an interview, "this is my first time to Xuzhou, and I have deeply felt the extensive and profound Chinese culture and folk culture. I am very willing to promote Xuzhou's Chinese culture tourism resources, so that more people can feel the Chinese culture here."
