近日，上海财经大学中欧平台2021、2022级MBA留学生跟随《中国概况》的陈夏芳老师，带着课堂上的知识走出教室，先后探访了上海博物馆、豫园、中华艺术宫和洋山深水港。
在一次次亲历探访和老师现场生动的讲解中，中华的历史与文明变得栩栩如生、触手可及，或刻在文物上，或藏在园林间，或跃然雕塑画作，或现于忙碌的码头中……跟随他们的探索足迹，一起来感受《中国概况》的精彩纷呈吧！
第一站：寻踪上海博物馆——尽收眼底的琳琅典藏
在《中国概况》的课堂上，陈夏芳老师为留学生详细介绍了中国古代文化，从汉字、书法、绘画、舞蹈，到科技发明、风俗传统、医疗兵法。在参访上海博物馆前，陈夏芳老师将上博部分藏品的介绍清单发给学生，并在馆内现场鼓励学生仔细观察，引导大家发现文物设计中的细微巧妙之处，在大克鼎、商鞅方升、子仲姜盘……等文物藏品上找寻文字、笔墨、勾勒上承载着的中华文明结晶。

老师对粉彩蝠桃纹瓶进行讲解
参展中，学生们纷纷被清代文物“粉彩蝠桃纹瓶”吸引了目光：硕果累累的桃枝间，两只蝙蝠穿梭嬉戏于此。面对留学生对于桃子与蝙蝠组合的疑问，陈老师引导解释道：“桃子象征长寿，而蝙蝠的‘蝠’与‘福’同音，寓意福寿相全。”
陶瓷、雕塑、书画、青铜、玉器……学生们一边对照着课堂上所讲的知识，一边穿梭于琳琅满目的文物之间，赞叹古代精巧艺术工艺的同时，也惊喜于每一次发现，对中华文化有了更加深入的理解。

第二站：寻踪豫园——古典园林中的“惬意岁月”
穿过喧嚣的街道，留学生的足迹又踏至静谧典雅的古典园林——豫园。
水清鱼读月，山静鸟谈天。在春意盎然的园子里，学生们跟随老师，透过精致的中式镂花窗，走进三穗堂、仰山堂、鱼乐榭、万花楼、点春堂……在这里，陈老师带领学生感受江南意象，并讲解多处知名景观的来历和特别之处。

走过环龙桥，驻足于玉玲珑前，聆听陈老师讲述玉玲珑的来历与奇妙之处，不禁陷入思索，原本看起来并不足奇的玉玲珑再看增添了许多美感。

空空如也的古戏台，颇显寂寥。出将、入相，随着老师的讲述，学生们仿佛听到了喧嚣的锣鼓、戏子的咿呀，想象着出将的门帘缓缓掀开，一场场大戏曾在这四方台上一一上演。
豫园静谧又古老的处处景象让学生们流连忘返，直到闭园后走出豫园的圆拱门，迎面是都市的喧嚣和烟火气，背后是守护着上海独有记忆的江南园林，这里也必将留给学生们难忘的回忆。
第三站：寻踪中华艺术宫——用艺术讲述的中国故事
移动课堂第三站的课程主题是中西方文化的传播和碰撞，向世界讲述“中国的故事”。这一站来到了上海时代性的地标建筑——大红外观的中华艺术宫。在这里，一件件美术和雕塑作品生动描绘了中国的神话传说、诗歌典籍、礼仪宗教等。

参访当天恰逢“开天辟地——中华创世神话文艺创作与文化传播工程”成果展出期间。陈老师首先从中华创世神话出发，为留学生们讲述了例如盘古开天、女娲补天、精卫填海，愚公移山等多个神话故事，深入了解浩瀚的中华文化源头。讲解过程中，学生们积极与老师互动，探讨自己国家文化与中国神话精神的相似与不同之处，也被中国神话中蕴含的民族精神深深感染。

本次移动课程的另一大收获是参观中华艺术宫展出的多媒体版“清明上河图”。
学生在参观前收到了老师的礼物——印刷版的清明上河图全卷
进入展馆的一瞬间，学生们均被眼前所见所震撼。多媒体版《清明上河图》将原作放大了30余倍，每隔4分钟呈现一个日夜循环。波光粼粼的汴河，恬淡闲适的市井生活，为生计奔波吆喝的商贩，酒楼中把酒言欢的文人，庭院中嬉戏的烂漫孩童……浓浓的农耕和市井气息在这里徐徐展开，学生们驻足不前，细细品味。

第四站：寻踪洋山深水港 ——扬帆航行的“中国智造”
在移动课堂的收官站，陈老师带领学生们乘车来到中国最大集装箱码头——上海洋山深水港。

雾气弥漫间，码头上堆放的彩色的集装箱十分显眼。陈老师介绍起几年间洋山港的变化，随着经济与交通规模的不断扩大，科学技术也不断优化。洋山港的建设对上海和中国有着非凡的意义，是我国与全球航运发展技术竞争的得力工程，是现代中国发展的一个缩影。

课后感悟——留学生眼中的“中国概况”
During few but exceptional weeks I had to be a part of China Overview course I was amazed. Chinese culture, literature, art and way of life are different from European yet at the same time inspirational. As an enormous fan of history, politics and arts I was pleasantly surprised by the course structure. It wasn’t just passive reading, listening but actual go and see. As I, and in my opinion many fellow students would agree is the best to get to know something new and unknown. To me what mostly stick out is the friendliness of teacher and teaching assistant. They were supportive and patient which I deeply appreciate. Chinese mythology may not be the topic I know the best, but surely calligraphy in Shanghai Museum widen my perspective. If I deeply thought about the whole class, my idea is we have more in common culturally then we are different. It was a great pleasure to spend this time on this course, I’m looking forward to explore more of Chinese culture.

Before learning the course, I have known about China as a neighboring country with close borders and trade partners of export and import between the two countries. During the study, this course is very interesting and I get effective information with regards to the Chinese geography, economy and religion.
We had visited a lot of places such as Shanghai Museum, China Art Museum and Yangshan deep water port. I am amazed with this subject because we have known a lot of cultural exchange, got to know a lot of geopolitics strategy and economic situation about China. So, this course is very fruitful for international students who doesn’t know about the People’s Republic of China and who would like to know knowledge regarding with the People’s Republic of China.

The course China Overview and its Applications was a positive experience for me since it allowed me to learn more about ancient Chinese civilizations as well as Chinese nationalities.
We discussed the Yangtze River, China's longest river, mountains, and other historical sites. During our studies, we visited historical sites such as the Shanghai Museum, which has many antique stones and bronze, the Yuyuan Garden, which housed a tree that had survived for over 400 years, the China Art Museum, and the Shanghai Yangstan Deep Water Port Area.
Of all of them, the Yangshan Deep Port Area stood out to me since the port is built on an island, demonstrating how technologically sophisticated China is. Overall, I liked every minute of it, beginning in the classroom with an incredible teacher who taught us about China's ancient history and the numerous Dynasties such as Shang, Zhou, Han, Tan, and Qing. This was my first trip to any of these destinations, and I really enjoyed it.
