(Correspondent Sun Wei) Above 40 international students of College of Chinese Language and Culture from more than ten countries went to Huo Yuanjia Culture and Martial Art School in Tianjin and carried out cultural experience activities on the morning of May 11th to have accesses to traditional Chinese culture face to face.
As an important symbol of Chinese culture, Chinese Kongfu has always been very popular with international students. CCLC and Huo Yuanjia Culture and Martial Art School jointly organize a series of activities entitled " Chinese Kongfu Experience Class" in every semester, which provides opportunities for international students to learn about the Chinese martial arts culture and builds a platform to enhance the cultural exchange between Chinese and foreign students.
Our students began their visit under the leadership of the head of the school. The first thing jumping into our sight after passing the gates which read "the only one in the world of mummies and warriors", is the writing of "spirit of martial arts" by Mr. Sun Yat-sen. At the center of the square is a statue of Huo Yuanjia, the grandmaster of martial arts. The commentator made a specific explanation on the spirit of "Jing Wu" to us. Due to the limited level of Chinese, our students could not fully grasp what the spirit of "Jing Wu" is, but they all listened attentively and asked the teacher questions positively.
Our students then visited the school's Training Hall and were also eager to experience Chinese Kongfu. Therefore, with the help of the staff there, our students learned some basic movements from martial coaches, During communication with students representatives in Huo Yuanjia Culture and Martial Art School, our international students not only practiced their oral Chinese but felt the charm of Chinese traditional martial arts.
Finally, the school prepared an excellent martial art show for us in the auditorium. It was a great moment for us to experience Chinese Kongfu, said by our students. By attending the " Chinese Kongfu Experience Class" , we have not only gained a deeper understanding of Chinese Kongfu, but also felt the indomitable spirit of the Chinese people.
CCLC attaches great importance to the curriculum construction of international students cultural experience. In recent years, the college has set up more than ten international students cultural experience bases, and builds a wide range of platforms for international students to have a better understanding of Chinese society and Chinese culture.
