As Chinese tourists travel all over the world, Chinese culture has blossomed into a foreign land. Recently, an interesting thing played out near the Japanese city of Osaka.
Several elderly women from China spontaneously performed a traditional flower drum at the local park, which won the attention and praise of Japanese tourists.
According to the video, it was a sunny day. Osaka Castle has a long history and is a famous tourist attraction in the area. The park trails outside the city are full of tourists and bustling.
At this time, a burst of simple and elegant music suddenly sounded in the park, attracting people's attention. Following the sound, several middle-aged women dressed in traditional costumes are dancing hand in hand on the park's lawn, with small bells ringing around their waists.
Their movements are precise and powerful, their steps are agile and soft, and their dancing postures are full of the charm of oriental culture.
Many Japanese people in the surrounding area were attracted by this unique "street performance" and picked up their mobile phones to record this cultural scene. A Japanese tourist filmed the scene, which sparked a heated discussion after it was posted online.
The tourist wrote: "At this moment, who would have thought that around Osaka Castle in Japan, there would be a small waist drum of Chinese aunts?" Netizens made various interesting comments and feelings about this unexpected scene.
Of course, we can have different views and attitudes towards this. In Japanese culture, parks and green spaces are places for people to relax and have fun, and there is no expectation that people will make loud noises or dance here.
Therefore, some Japanese netizens questioned and dissatisfied with the behavior of Chinese aunts. While some Chinese netizens are happy that their compatriots can boldly show their cultural pride in a foreign country, others feel that this practice is undignified and criticized.
In my opinion, there is no right or wrong in this phenomenon of cultural exchange. Each culture has its own unique customs and expressions. It is understandable to live in a foreign land and preserve and display some traditional customs of the motherland's culture.
As an open and tolerant society, Japan does not criticize the free performance of these Chinese aunts, which shows its tolerance for cross-cultural communication.
Of course, when showing the national culture in a foreign country, we should also pay attention to ways and means, respect local customs and rules, and avoid inappropriate behavior.
But if we are careful and trembling throughout, cultural exchange will lose its meaning and pleasure.
As one commentator put it, the charm of these Chinese aunts is "simply unstoppable". They spread the elements of traditional Chinese culture to the world in a very personal way, so that foreign audiences have a strong interest in Chinese culture.
Compared with official cultural diplomacy, this kind of spontaneous and casual cultural exchange is more intimate and infectious. It can touch people's hearts, eliminate barriers, and allow each other's cultures to spark and complement each other in the collision of authentic and authentic cultures.
From this point of view, the scene outside Osaka is small, but it is full of cultural exchange significance. It allows us to see the unique charm that different cultures can burst out of mutual learning, and the joy and inspiration that this charm brings.
The world has become rich and colorful because of the existence of different cultures, and the exchange and understanding of each other will make various cultures exude vitality in coexistence and co-prosperity. Let's work together to appreciate and cherish this unique cultural taste with a more open and inclusive mind.
