On April 27th, the "Whole Family Sports, Ancient Style and Joyful Childhood" Chinese Traditional Folk Parent-Child Sports Carnival was launched in Gongqing Forest Park. This Chinese traditional folk parent-child sports carnival is not only a successful parent-child interactive experience activity, but also a wonderful display of the achievements of the intangible cultural heritage sports and health care team of the Yangpu District Women's Federation and the Wushu College of Shanghai Sport University in the past four years.
At the event site, eight traditional sports with Chinese characteristics, including dragon dance, lion dance, martial arts, pearl ball, and bamboo pole jumping, attracted many parent-child families to actively participate. Each project integrates traditional folk elements, which not only shows the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture, but also allows participants to feel the charm of traditional sports culture in sports.
After completing the check-in at the entrance, families can enter the activity area with their stamp cards and start their own check-in experience. Among them, the dragon dance and lion dance are the "popular kings" of the event, and there is a long queue of parent-child families in front of the activity area, and everyone is deeply attracted by the churning dragon and smart lions, and can't wait to experience it for themselves.
Among the eight events are rope skipping, pearl ball and bamboo pole jumping that require parents and children to cooperate with each other, pot throwing and lion dance that require parent-child families to work together, and dragon dance that requires parent-child families to form teams. With the professional and careful assistance of the volunteers of Shanghai Sport University, the activities were carried out in an orderly and safe manner. Parents and children work together to complete various movements, which not only exercises the body, but also enhances the relationship between parents and children.
It is reported that the event was hosted by the Yangpu District Women's Federation, co-organized by the intangible cultural heritage sports and health care team of the Wushu College of Shanghai Sports University, and undertaken by the Yangpu District Women and Children's Activity Center. In the next step, the District Women's Federation will continue to carry out characteristic parent-child sports activities, so that traditional culture can take root in more families, and the parent-child relationship will be closer and more harmonious in sports.
