China Education Online Zhejiang Station News (Reporter Chen Xianting, Correspondent Chen Yao, Lv Dandan, Photographer Jiang Lixuan) "Martial arts" is a long-standing Chinese cultural treasure, carrying the spiritual blood of the Chinese nation of advocating literature and martial arts and striving for self-improvement. On the morning of April 25, Hangzhou People's Primary School, as the first batch of intangible cultural heritage martial arts "Gong-style Tongjiquan" inheritance schools in Gongshu District, held the 13th Canal Citizen Festival in Gongshu District and the 3rd Campus "Martial Arts Conference" of People's Primary School with the theme of "Wushu +".
At the beginning of the conference, thousands of students from the People's Primary School held blue silk cloths in their hands, accompanied by passionate music from afar to the center of the venue, and the dancing blue ribbons were like the flowing water of the canal, witnessing the historical changes on both sides of the strait and quietly telling the story of the millennium. People's Primary School is the oldest school by the canal and Gongchen Bridge, deeply immersed in the canal culture, and the people's students, as small citizens living by the canal, also shoulder the mission of inheriting the canal culture.
Now, in this century-old campus, there has been a boom in everyone practicing martial arts. The students of the whole school played the "People's Youth" martial arts exercises, which were strong and powerful, symbolizing the growth of the people's students on the banks of the canal, and the people's primary school and the canal depended on each other. After the 1,000-person martial arts exercise, teachers and students sang the original theme song "Flying Birds" of the martial arts conference, implying that the spirit of intangible cultural heritage martial arts glows with new strength in the People's Primary School.
Intangible cultural heritage has endured for thousands of years. Zhou Fan, the inheritor of the third-generation intangible cultural heritage martial arts "Gong-style Tongjiquan", also came to the scene, and Mr. Zhou introduced his experience of practicing martial arts by the canal, which is a symbol of the indissoluble bond between intangible cultural heritage martial arts and the canal. In the ardent expectations of the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, the martial arts club of the People's Primary School took over the baton of intangible cultural heritage martial arts, combining martial arts performances with calligraphy in traditional culture, injecting new connotations into "martial arts +". "Wushu +" not only digs deep into the core, but also innovates in the form.
Not only did the "People's Youth" show their strength, but the martial arts performance of all the "People's Teachers" became a new highlight of this event. The teachers turned into "martial arts masters", which made the students excited, and there were bursts of applause. The interaction between teachers and students reflects that intangible cultural heritage martial arts have been popularized to every corner of the people's campus. The cultural and spiritual core of the Grand Canal has become the spiritual home that nourishes the people's teachers and students.
With the dynamic music, the highlight of this event - the class martial arts gymnastics competition was grandly staged. There are 24 classes, and there are innovations and highlights in each class. The teachers chose the music, arranged the program, and became the directors. The students are all full of spirit, sometimes turning over the waist, sometimes smashing their arms, sometimes resting and shining their palms, and the crisp and powerful movements are matched with the sound of "roaring" of the bell, one move and one style are relaxed, highlighting the charm and bearing of martial arts, and also showing the people's sunny and upward spiritual outlook and strong will quality of chasing light.
It is reported that the article of "martial arts +" is another highlight of this "martial arts conference". Martial arts and calligraphy, opera, dragon dance, umbrella fan and other intangible cultural heritage items are integrated, each class gives full play to their wisdom, and uses eighteen kinds of martial arts, and the students are not only "martial arts masters", but also become the inheritors of the intangible cultural heritage culture by the canal, truly realizing the original intention of "martial arts +". It is believed that the people will continue to absorb the cultural and spiritual core of the Grand Canal, and use their own practical actions to make the cultural heritage of the Grand Canal martial arts "live".
