"Writing Spring Festival, cutting window flowers, making lanterns for the Year of the Tiger, and feeling the taste of Gusu Nian in the intangible cultural heritage, Lingge!"
On January 18th, 80 Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese students from Yanyuan Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Overseas Chinese Joint Examination School, under the guidance of 5 non-hereditary inheritors in Suzhou, embroidered golden tigers, cut red tigers, and made tiger lanterns. I felt a Suzhou New Year flavor with a strong traditional cultural atmosphere in advance!
With the Spring Festival approaching, due to the epidemic, nearly 30 overseas Chinese students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan will not be able to return to their hometowns to spend the festive season with their loved ones. In order to let overseas Chinese students in Suzhou, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan feel the joy of the Spring Festival in advance, Suzhou Yanyuan Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Overseas Chinese Joint Examination School organized a campus intangible cultural heritage activity with the theme of "I spent the New Year in Suzhou".
The Suzhou reporter learned that the Yanyuan Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Overseas Chinese Joint Examination School invited Yao Huifen, Wang Liqiu, Jin Guorong, Gao Jun, Ye Xiaoxing, 5 representative inheritors of intangible cultural heritage projects, who respectively taught Su embroidery, lantern color, silk paper-cutting, Wumen fan art and calligraphy to a total of 80 Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese students from the first to the third year of high school.
At 1:30 p.m., when the Suzhou reporter came to the Yanyuan Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Overseas Chinese Joint Examination School, he saw a fiery scene on the campus.
Carrying a variety of tiger head small color lamps, playing with elegant and exquisite Su fans, marveling at the exquisite craftsmanship of the two-sided Su embroidery, carefully holding the tiger head shape window flower paper, and writing down the Spring Festival League one by one... The high school students of Yanyuan Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Overseas Chinese Joint Examination School are full of interest in making small objects of traditional culture with ingenious meanings in the warm and warm sunshine.
"Wonderful, amazing! When the teacher put the embroidery on the stage, we all exclaimed, 'This is so beautiful!' Huang Haining, a senior high school student from Taiwan, told reporters with excitement that to paraphrase the Suzhou dialect is "Linge"!
This is the second time that Huang Haining has participated in the intangible cultural heritage Su embroidery activity, but when she saw the tiger plate gold embroidery, she was still deeply attracted by the exquisite embroidery of the Su embroidery. This year is the Year of the Tiger, and the gold embroidery of the tiger plate just means that the tiger is mighty!

"I like the lantern so much, its appearance echoes the Suzhou garden architecture, and can combine a variety of interesting patterns, I want to make another one!" Pan Jinhao, a Malaysian overseas Chinese student, excitedly "showed off" to reporters a small orange tiger head lantern he had just made, saying that "this is the meaning of the year of the tiger".

In 2014, when I went abroad for exchanges, a Chinese student's sentence "Why I didn't get in touch with such a good cultural experience class in China, but met with teachers abroad" made Yao Huifen, the representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage project Su embroidery, unforgettable, and since then Yao Huifen has been committed to sharing Su embroidery culture with domestic students.
"Su embroidery itself is a business card of Suzhou, and I hope that by teaching Su embroidery face-to-face, I will bring the children of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese the opportunity to have an unforgettable emotional connection with Suzhou and traditional Chinese culture." Yao Huifen told the Suzhou reporter.

"You cut gently here" "The scissors slowly bend over"... Jin Guorong, the representative inheritor of silk paper-cutting of the Suzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Project, is teaching the two boys in front of them how to cut the tiger's paws completely and vividly.
"The children of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese, like the children of the mainland, are very interested in traditional culture and have actively participated in it, and I am particularly happy about this!" Kim Kwok-young said.
It is understood that the activity of the intangible cultural heritage into Yanyuan was guided by the Suzhou Municipal Taiwan Affairs Office and the Wuzhong District Taiwan Affairs Office, and sponsored by the Suzhou Yanyuan Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Overseas Chinese Joint Examination School.

Huang Meijun, vice principal of Suzhou Yanyuan Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Overseas Chinese Joint Examination School, said that the school has always attached importance to the cultural education of students, and has also organized students to visit the bomb evaluation school and the nuclear carving studio before. As the Spring Festival approaches, the school takes this opportunity to hold this event, allowing students to feel the new year of Suzhou and learn more about Suzhou culture and traditional culture through cultural experience.
Zhou Feng, chairman of Suzhou Yanyuan Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Overseas Chinese Joint Examination School, told Suzhou reporters that the school hopes that through this activity, the children of Hong Kong and Macao Qiaotai will understand the intangible cultural heritage of China, promote cross-strait cultural exchanges and cultural inheritance, so that they can have cultural self-confidence no matter where they are!
