The dragon dance sends auspiciousness, and the gongs and drums make the Year of the Dragon. In the Academy Square of Tongji University, the "New Year, Traditional Culture Garden Party" is very popular. On the "Baifu Sign-in Wall", the word "Fu" with different shapes came into view, decorating the scene with joy, and the students of the Student Dragon and Lion Sports Association danced the 18-meter golden dragon, nine songs and ten times, and their footsteps were cheerful...... Lang Mazha, an international student from India, touched the lion's head while watching. "I heard that touching the lion's head represents good luck, and the Chinese New Year is so interesting!" This year is the first time Langmazha has taken a holiday in Shanghai, and the interesting traditional cultural activities and delicious food not only dissolve his longing for his hometown, but also make him feel the excitement of the Chinese New Year.
The flavor of the year is getting stronger, and the Spring Festival is approaching. In colleges and universities in Shanghai, there are still some students who have not returned for the time being, and some students have chosen to spend the Chinese New Year in school. In the past few days, major colleges and universities have successively held activities such as the 2024 Spring Festival Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner for teachers and students, with a table of steaming Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, one after another to promote traditional culture, so that students can feel at home at school and spend a warm and wonderful Chinese New Year.
Teachers and students gathered together, and a table of delicious food relieved the "nostalgia" on the tip of the tongue
A piece of red paper is cut to turn into a lifelike "dragon"; a piece of dough is kneaded and kneaded, and a cute noodle figure jumps into life; and a red thread is woven several times to become a bracelet that symbolizes the New Year's wishes...... This year, many colleges and universities in Shanghai have set up a "Spring Festival Parade" session before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for students staying on campus, allowing teachers and students to explore traditional Chinese New Year customs together, and the atmosphere of welcoming the Year of the Dragon is instantly full.
At the New Year's party of Tongji University, under the guidance of folk craftsmen, the students who stayed at the university experienced many traditional folk activities such as making palace lanterns, writing flowers, birds, dragons and phoenixes, and painting faces. This year, more than 400 students from Tongji stayed on campus for the Chinese New Year. In order to allow the students to feel the warmth and experience the strong flavor of the New Year, the school has not only prepared rich cultural activities, but also reserved many surprises.
"Unexpectedly, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner not only had the "Flowers" package, but also tasted the taste of hometown!" Lu Wei, a doctoral student at the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Mechanics of Tongji University, is from Yunnan, and in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, a wax platter evokes the taste of the year on the tip of the tongue. It turned out that this dish came from Yunlong County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, which is also a designated area of Tongji University.
This year, Tongji has carefully customized 50 tables of delicacies for the students who stayed at the school. From crispy duck with pepper and sesame to rice cake with pork ribs to seafood rice, Ma Jian, head of the logistics and catering department of Tongji University, said that in order to prepare for this table of New Year's flavors, the logistics department began preparations one month in advance. More than 10 chefs from the major canteens of the school finally decided on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner menu after five rounds of food tasting. For students who stayed on campus during the winter vacation this year, according to the school's arrangement, in addition to the free reunion banquet, they can also taste the New Year's ten meals for free from Chinese New Year's Eve to the third day of the first lunar month.
On the campus of East China University of Science and Technology, these days are also filled with a festive and auspicious welcome atmosphere. Auspicious couplets and red lanterns are hung at the entrance of the student apartment, various window flowers and welcome knickknacks are dotted on the porch, and the dormitory managers and aunts also give hand-woven scarves and small pendants to the students who stay at the school. At the welcome party, the "Long" robot developed by the mecha master origin team led by Chen Jiahao, a graduate student of the School of Information Science and Engineering of the university, sent "blessings" to the teachers and students.
People are not strangers in a foreign land, and the school has a strong sense of novelty for the New Year. This year, Shanghai Ocean University arranged welcome activities such as "Fish Leaping in the New Year: Fishbone Painting Art Experience" and "'Fish' Every Year, Year Safety" in combination with the characteristics of the discipline, and held a collective birthday party for six students who stayed on campus.
Timely introduction of caring measures, the Spring Festival in Shanghai is full and flavorful
In the interview, the reporter learned that in order to ensure the "continuous line" of scientific research work at hand, or in order to participate in internships, some college students decided to stay in school for the Chinese New Year this year. In order to ensure that these students have a peaceful and fulfilling New Year, colleges and universities have opened the "fancy pet" mode.
Xu Lanxiang, a doctoral student at the Business School of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, stayed at the school for the first time this year with her son Yueyue for the Chinese New Year because of the need for a scientific research topic at hand. What touched her was that as the Spring Festival approached, she not only received blessings from the principal, but also invited her to bring her children to school for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. "I would like to thank the school and college for providing a good learning atmosphere, which allows me to concentrate on scientific research during the winter vacation. Yue Yue also received special care from the school. ”
"I just handed over the last batch of children to their parents, and when I returned to school, I caught up with the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner party, and I was very happy!" Liu Yazhuo, a student at Shanghai Dianji University, stayed in Lingang for the first time this year for the Spring Festival. During the winter vacation, he and more than 40 college student volunteers participated in the Shanghai Primary School Students' Winter Nursery School. From last year to the beginning of this year, he has accumulated more than 200 hours of volunteer service. Recently, he was also selected as an intern docent for the Dishui Cloud Hall in the Lingang New Area. The school not only arranged a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for Liu Yazhuo, but also prepared New Year gift bags such as love snack packs, cultural and creative product packs, and school supplies packs to send New Year wishes.
In order to take care of the students who stayed on campus with financial difficulties, East China University of Science and Technology issued a New Year's "red envelope" subsidy this year, and each college also carefully prepared New Year's gifts such as New Year's gift bags and classic books for the students who stayed at the school. Tongji University has set up nearly 150 work-study positions for students to have a fulfilling vacation.
