北理工首届“中文角”文化交流活动成功举办

 2014年11月29日下午,首届mk体育在线(中国)“中文角”活动在中关村校区体育馆地下一层的学生之家成功举办,本次“中文角”文化交流活动由北理工外语新闻社组织开展,得到留学生中心的积极支持,活动现场气氛热烈,参与活动的留学生们对本次活动均给予了高度评价。mk体育在线(中国)外语新闻社是党委宣传部所属的校级学生组织,立足学校英文官方网站建设,服务学校国际化宣传工作开展,是全校首个正式面向留学生的国际化学生组织,。本次活动旨在为中外学生提供一个相互交流、学习的平台,进一步巩固、扩大学校国际化宣传的学生骨干队伍。

本次“中文角”活动共设有五个展位,分别为互动游戏区,美食区,书法教学区,民乐教学区和汉服试穿区。



   互动游戏区-看图学汉字。这个版块旨在帮助留学生同学们提升汉字识认水平。桌上摆放着拆分为各部首的汉字,参与者需要将它们两两组合,如果组合出了正确的汉字则游戏挑战成功。游戏设计者旨在让留学生对这些看似复杂的汉字有一个更直观的了解并传播汉字的特征,比如汉字通常由两个部首组成,而这体现了中国文化里的“和”,即和谐一致。留学生积极参加这有趣的游戏。其中一位留学生表示:“学习汉字是很困难的,但是这个游戏提供了一个很好的途径去了解它们。”



      
美食区-舌尖上的中国。活动中设置的美食区,充分展示了别具一格的中国美食,有各式各样的中国传统小吃,比如驴打滚、周黑鸭等等。这是一个可以让参与者尽情享受美食的地方。同时,工作人员亦会热情介绍这些美食的来历、原料,解答留学生们对这些美食的疑问。


      书法教学区-翰墨书香中国风。中国书法是中国文化的一个重要组成部分。一千多年前,毛笔是写作的唯一工具,它与墨,砚纸并称为“文房四宝”。在这个环节,来自无阳斋(学校书法国画类社团)的社长和社员与来自首经贸的两位同学作为特邀嘉宾出席,为留学生们演示如何用毛笔写汉字,并现场书写留学生的国籍和名字作为纪念 。在学习如何使用毛笔之后,留学生们可以自己尝试着用毛笔写字。虽然很难,但他们中的一些人还是完成的非常出色!



 
 
民乐教学区-余音袅袅 弦音不绝。为了向留学生同学展示中国民乐文化,在这个环节,外语新闻社的同学们们准备了古筝和笛子。古筝是中国一种常见的弦乐器,而笛子则是管乐器。留学生们不仅可以聆听到美妙的中国民乐,也有机会自己试着演奏。图为新闻社的工作人员在进行现场教学。

 
 

   汉服试穿区-复古风情扬四海。服装在古代中国的日常生活中起着重要作用。你能想象现代人穿着汉服是什么样的吗?在这里,你可以得到答案。汉服除了作为日常着装外,还有一些特殊的功能。比如它有着长而宽的袖子,在一些特殊场合需要饮酒时,人们可以用袖子遮掩住自己的脸。现场的留学生们对汉服的热情极高,他们积极试穿汉服并拍了许多照片纪念这有趣的时刻。
 

 
  此次活动从不同方面向留学生展示了中国文化的缩影,激发了留学生对中国文化的兴趣,加强了多国学生之间的多语言交流,丰富了学生的校园文化生活,得到了留学生们的一致好评,也是宣传部吸纳留学生群体参与学校国际化宣传工作积极探索,目前外语新闻社已经成为学校日常新闻英文翻译的主力,在留学生中心的支持下,部分留学生群体也参与其中,发挥了积极作用。




    On the afternoon of November 29, 2014 , the News Agency of Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) successfully held the Chinese Corner-Cultural Exchange at the coffee bar in B1 floor of gymnasium of Zhongguancun campus. The activity was held in an enthusiastic atmosphere and gained high remarks from the foreign participants.

    News Agency of BIT is a student organization under the command of News Center of BIT. It is the only student organization in BIT that has official cooperation with BIT International Student Center. The aim of this activity is to provide a platform for Chinese students and international students to communicate with each other as well as exchange their cultures. It also aims to recruit more international students to join in the News Agency in order to strengthen its team.

    The Chinese Corner mainly consists of five parts, including interactive games area,snack corner, calligraphy area, traditional instruments area and Hanfu (Chinese historical costume) try-on area. Detailed descriptions of each part are as follows.

Interactive Games area (Finding Characters)

    This is a game that requires quite a good knowledge of Chinese characters. There will be split parts of Chinese characters on the table and the participants need to try to combine two of them together. If the combination makes sense, then that is a successful try.The game designer aims to help the international students with these seemly complicated Chinese characters and spread the concept that Chinese characters usually consist of two parts, which is the true spirit of “He”(和), which means harmony and accordance.

    International students took an active part in this interesting game. One of them said “It’s really difficult to learn these Chinese characters, but this presents a better opportunity to learn them.”

Snack Corner

    The Snack Corner has various kinds traditional Chinese food, like lvdagun(驴打滚) and zhouheiya(周黑鸭). This is a place where all visitors could have a try of these wonderful snacks and refill themselves.

Chinese Calligraphy Teaching Area

    Chinese Calligraphy is one of the most important parts of Chinese culture. The writing brush was the only tool for writing more than one thousand years ago, and together with ink stick, ink slab and paper, we get the “four treasures of the study”(文房四宝).In this section, students from Wuyangzhai, an association of BIT which teaches Chinese calligraphy and painting, and several students from the Capital University of Economics a Business, were invited as honored guests to teach international students how to write a Chinese character with a writing brush. In addition, if they have a Chinese name, they will get a traditional handwriting of their names! Of course if a Chinese name is still up in the air, anything like the name of their countries is also acceptable. After learning the keys of how to use a writing brush, international students could have a try by themselves. Some of them really did a good job even in writing very difficult characters.

Traditional Instrument Teaching Area
 
    In this section, we got guzheng(古筝)and dizi(笛子). Guzheng is a typical stringed instrument, while dizi is a kind of wind instrument. International students could enjoy the beautiful sounds of nature and even have a chance to try it in person.

Hanfu (Chinesehistorical costume) try-on Area

    Clothes are an important part of the daily life in ancient China, and can you imagine what it is like to wear the costume in Han Dynasty, Hanfu? Well, it’s really cool. Hanfu has some special features like its long and wide sleeve, and that reflects some customs of the Han people. For example, when drinking on formal occasions, they usually hide their faces behind the wide sleeves. The international students on spot tried on the Hanfu and took some photos to memorize this special moment.

     This event shows the epitome of Chinese culture from different aspects, stimulates  foreign students’ interests in Chinese culture, strengthens multinational and multilingual communication between students, and enriches the campus cultural  life of students which has received all praise from foreign students. This is the initial attempt of News Center to make foreign students as entry point for international publicity .
