第二站:寻踪豫园——古典园林中的“惬意岁月”

穿过喧嚣的街道,留学生的探寻足迹又踏至静谧典雅的古典园林——豫园。

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。

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。

课后感悟

——留学生眼中的“中国概况”


As an enormous fan of history, politics and arts, I was pleasantly surprised by the course. It wasn’t just passive reading and listening but also actually going and seeing. Many fellow students and I would agree that it is the best way to get to know something new and unknown. To me what sticks out is the friendliness of the teacher and teaching assistant.

 

They were supportive and patient which I was deeply appreciate. Chinese mythology may not be the topic I know the best, but surely calligraphy at the Shanghai Museum widened my perspective. If I deeply thought about the whole class, my idea will have more in common culturally than which we are different with. It was a great pleasure to spend this time on this course, I’m looking forward to exploring more Chinese culture.

Before learning the course, I have known that China is a neighbor country with close borders and trade partners of export and import between the two countries. Through the course, we had a lot of cultural exchanges and got to know a lot of geopolitics strategies and economic situation of China. 

 

We visited a lot of places such as the Shanghai Museum, China Art Museum and Yangshan deep water port. I was surprised by this subject because we have known a lot of cultural exchange and got to know a lot of geopolitics strategies and economic situation of China. So, this course is very fruitful for international students who didn’t know about China and who would like to know knowledge about 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 found out stories and mysteries behind the Yangtze River, China's longest river, mountains, and other historical sites in class. During our studies, we also 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. Besides that, we also visited the China Art Museum and the Shanghai Yangstan Deep Water Port Area.
 
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.
