Beijing, April 5 (China Youth Daily, China Youth Daily trainee reporter Cheng Si) On April 5, the 2022 Qingming Festival special program sponsored by the Department of Physical Education, Health and Art Education of the Ministry of Education and undertaken by China Youth Daily was broadcast. Teachers and students of large, medium, and primary schools across the country gathered in the "cloud" to remember the deceased by inheriting traditional culture.
Every time before and after the Qingming Festival, it is a good time to pick tea and make tea. In the special program, teachers and students from The West Lake Primary School Education Group in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, brought the special program "Qingming Tea". As one of the largest tea-producing provinces in mainland China, Zhejiang Province has a long history of tea culture. West Lake Primary School Education Group is rooted in the profound tea culture, and promotes and inherits the West Lake culture in teaching. In the view of student Luo Tianyang, learning tea art in school clubs can not only learn more about tea, but also understand tea culture. "This small piece of tea carries culture and spreads friendship. I love tea art, and I hope that more people around me will understand tea art and let the traditional tea culture continue to shine in our hands. ”
What is particularly noteworthy is that the 2022 Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou, and the students of West Lake Primary School will integrate the Hangzhou dialect and Hangzhou culture into the Theme Song of the Asian Games from their own perspective, and pass on the virtue of "Kelai Respecting Tea" in the traditional culture of the mainland.
During important traditional festivals, music and dance are the highlights of the special programme.
Students from the Art Workshop of the School of Music and Dance of Baoding University in Hebei Province brought "Hexi Cymbals" to the special program. "Hexi Cymbals" is a traditional percussion repertoire of the national intangible cultural heritage project "Jizhong Concert". Zhang Hongyu, dean of the Academy of Music and Dance, introduced that the local folk music style is unique, with the characteristics of locality and improvisation, the singing voice is complex and changeable, the notation is more than a ruler, and the stage performance has strong local characteristics, which adds a lot of difficulty to the teaching. "Under the guidance of the teaching team of local non-hereditary inheritors, the students have gradually made a qualitative leap in their performance ability from similar to god-like, from imitation to innovation." Zhang Hongyu said.
In this issue, teachers and students from Shantou Culture and Art School in Guangdong Province, Wuwei Vocational College in Gansu Province, and Dongdu Primary School in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, also brought the traditional dances they learned to the program. Although they are all traditional dances, the vast territory of the mainland and the geographical location are different, so they have formed dances with different styles. The teachers and students of Shantou Culture and Art School use Chaoshan Ying song and dance, Chaoshan music and other intangible cultural elements as the background, and express the happy scene of the Chaoshan architectural roof inlaid porcelain figures when they see the Shantou Special Economic Zone through dance; Wuwei Vocational College brings Wuwei Intangible Cultural Heritage "Liangzhou Gong Drum", which is a folk drum dance that has been passed down for thousands of years; and the dancing encouragement brought by Xiamen Dongdu Primary School has distinct regional characteristics of southern Fujian.
In addition to traditional music and traditional dance, martial arts, opera and embroidery are also the traditional cultural forms that teachers and students are enthusiastic about.
In the special program, the martial arts as an important part of traditional culture were innovatively rewritten and moved to the special classrooms of Pingfu Township Central School in Tengxian County, Wuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Ruiming Primary School in Ruijin City, Jiangxi Province, where "grinding the mind inside and practicing the bones outside" was the first meaning of this class; the students of the art workshop of Nanchong Vocational and Technical College brought a shadow puppet display in northern Sichuan, and the teachers and students of the school gradually felt the craftsman spirit contained in the shadow puppet play in their studies; students from Nanshangshan Street Primary School in Jinan City, Shandong Province brought original Peking Opera. From "knowing opera", "appreciating opera" to "understanding opera" and "loving drama", small opera bones have appreciated the beauty of Peking Opera in practice and experienced the inheritance of national culture; students of Bayan Hushu No. 6 Middle School in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region brought the embroidery display of TushiYetu, which originated in the Qing Dynasty and has become a good play for many students, they can independently complete pillow flowers, tobacco bags, cloth shoes, Mongolian boots and other works...
In the process of close contact with traditional culture, students understand the cultural connotations contained in it through learning, and their cultural self-confidence from the heart is gradually formed. As Zhang Jiali of the Dance Major of Shantou Culture and Art School said: The English song and dance shows the exquisite art of Chaoshan Art, "As a Chaoshan person, I am proud to be able to interpret the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Chaoshan through dance works. ”
According to reports, since the launch of the special program of "The Power of Inheritance" five years ago, around the characteristics of the festival, based on campus sports and art education, nearly 30 school sports and art education to promote the achievements of China's excellent traditional culture have been launched in large-scale exhibitions, and vocal music, instrumental music, dance, drama, opera, recitation, traditional sports projects, self-choreography exercises, and large class intervals from 400 colleges and middle schools across the country have been displayed. More and more post-00s have become the "main force of inheritance", and they sing the sound of the times of inheriting traditional culture in a more youthful way.
