On October 23, 15 students and teachers from Kornberg High School in Germany, accompanied by teachers from Tangye Campus of Jinan Middle School, visited Yushan Academy to explore the allure of Chinese traditional culture.
10月23日,15名来自德国科伦贝格高中的师生与济南中学唐冶校区的带队老师一起走进虞山书院,共同探索中国传统文化的魅力。
During the visit, they showed great interest in ancient Chinese characters, furniture, and peculiar stones, and conducted lively discussions and active intellectual exchanges. Inside the Tian Ao Literary and Art Museum, they are attracted by a pair of couplets, which read"字有叠排如枣棘,形分凹凸似盆瓶 (The strokes are stacked or arranged like jujube thorns; the concave and convex patterns are like basins and bottles)". And through Mr. Tian's summary, they gained insights into the structural patterns of Chinese characters.
参观过程中,大家对中国的古文字、家具、奇石等展品频频提问,通过现场热烈讨论碰撞出活跃的思维花火。在田遨文学纪念馆里,大家被田遨的一张内容为“字有叠排如枣棘,形分凹凸似盆瓶”的对联深深吸引,在田遨先生的总结下,大家了解了汉字的字形规律。
In the experiential session, taking the characters"福" (fu, meaning"luck") and"德" (de, meaning"virtue") as examples, Mr. Shicun, expounded on the rich meanings behind them, demonstrated the process of seal carving, and patiently explained the techniques of using the carving knife. The students and teachers had hands-on experience of the art of seal carving, feeling its intricacy and uniqueness, and enjoyed a profound sense of fulfillment and achievement.
在体验环节,以“福”与”德”字为例,十村老师向大家讲解背后的丰富含义,示范印章的制作过程并耐心讲解用刀技巧,大家动手操作,亲身体验篆刻,感受中国印章艺术的精细与独特,满满的收获感、成就感油然而生。
Subsequently, they engaged in traditional archery at Yushan Archery Range, learning the basic skills of archery under the guidance of Mr. Shicun and Mr. Zong. The students and teachers drew bows, aimed at the targets, and released arrows, relishing the sense of accomplishment as the arrows hit their marks. The whole experience process was punctuated by applause and cheers.
随后大家又在虞山射圃体验了传统射艺,在十村和宗老师的指导下学习射艺的基本技巧,在体验过程中,师生们拉弓搭箭,瞄准靶心,一箭箭射出,感受箭矢离弦而出射中目标的成就感,不时能听到大家的鼓掌喝彩声。
This event showcased the cultural confidence and charm inherent in Chinese academies, deepening the understanding of Chinese outstanding traditional culture among foreign youth. Yushan Academy will continue to leverage its position as an extracurricular traditional cultural practice base in Jinan, actively collaborating with various schools to establish a platform for overseas youth exchange and friendship.
本次活动展示了中国书院文化中所蕴含的文化自信和魅力,加深了外国青少年对中国优秀传统文化的了解,虞山书院将继续发挥作为济南市校外传统文化实践基地的优势,积极同各学校一起搭建海外青少年交流联谊平台。
