High School | The Beauty in Chinese Culture 感受中国文化之美

“Inheritance” Chinese Cultural Exhibition

Zhentao Building

Recently, the exhibitions in the lobbies of Zhentao building and Xian Mian Building have attracted considerable attention. Stepping into the modern Zhentao building, a long scrollcomes into view, on the scroll is the masterpiece of a renowned Chinese poet Bai Juyi, “Chang hen ge”. Through the verses, intensive romance of the poet flows like the running river, impressing and moving every reader.

On the other wall, the meticulous paintings of plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum which are collectively referred to as Four Gentlemen in Chinese culture, and the literati paintings of landscapes correspond well with each other. Above-mentioned scene is only part of the Chinese cultural exhibition themed “Inheritance” held by SHSID. To embody students’ interest for Chinese culture and perceptions of Chinese traditional art, teachers and students from SHSID elaborated many art works. Besides, several students also tried fan-painting and Peking Opera mask-making at the exhibition.

近日，甄陶楼和先棉堂大厅内的展览吸引了众人的目光。充满现代气息的甄陶楼里，挂起了一幅长条卷轴，走近一看，白居易的传世名篇《长恨歌》书法版全文映入眼帘，婉转动人的情思顺着延绵不绝的笔势流淌而出，令人击节叹赏。对面的墙上，梅兰竹菊四君子的工笔画和水墨山水的文人画也与之相映成趣。这是一次以“传承”为主题的中国文化展，师生们将自己对中国文化的喜爱和对中国传统艺术的感悟化作一幅幅美妙的作品。展览中还有许多同学当场绘制的扇面画和京剧脸谱，让世俗风情的窈窕美人与金戈铁马的铿锵英雄穿过历史的烽烟借由绢笔落入现世。

"Find the beauty of China" Photography Exhibition "The city I live in --- Shanghai" Essay Exhibition

Xian Mian Building

There are also two fascinating exhibitions in Xian Mian Building. One is "Find the beauty of China – SHSID 2019 Teacher- Student Photography Exhibition". Among the photos provided by Chinese and foreign teachers and students, there are beautiful sceneries of SHSID, night scenes of Shanghai, and natural scenery photos taken in various parts of China.

Another exhibition is presenting essays from international students with the theme of ”The city I live in--- Shanghai”. As Alex wrote: "I love the beauty of Shanghai, I love its convenience, I love its tolerance. I love Shanghai because my home is here. Shanghai is getting better and better every day. I Love Shanghai!" From students' words, you could fully feel their love for Shanghai as well as their excellent Chinese proficiency.

先棉堂里，也正在进行两个展出。一是“寻找中国之美—2019学年国际部师生摄影比赛展”。在中外教师和学生提供的照片中，有学校的美景、上海的夜景，更有拍摄于中国各地的自然风光。二是“我所生活的这座城市—上海”外籍人员子女学生征文展。正如Alex同学在文章里写到的：“我爱上海的美丽；我爱上海的便捷；我爱上海的包容。我爱上海，因为这里有我的家。上海正在一天天变得更加美好。我爱上海！”从学生们的表述中，大家可以充分感受到国际部学生对上海的爱以及他们出色的中文水平。

Manifestthe Beauty of Chinese Culture

SHSID

From the compulsory Chinese language courses to the elective Chinese culture courses offered by school, from the Chinese Culture Week to the "batik" class in PBL, from the Chinese magazines spontaneously organized by students to the study and performances of Peking Opera, from the dumplings-making to the Chinese architecture 3D Models-making joined by both Chinese and foreign teachers, from a variety of aspects including curriculum design, teaching activities, students’ activities, interactive activities between teachers, and environment arrangements, SHSID has always been striving to promote international students’ and teachers’ understanding and learning of Chinese culture, trying to make it an inner awareness in their study and work.

In May 2019, the TV program “Shanghai Live” from International Channel Shanghai made an interview on SHSID, a Korean student from grade 11 mentioned that “through the study of Chinese and Chinese history, I am able to better understand the trend of historical development, and the reasons behind China’s tremendous achievements."

从学校开设的中文必修课到中国文化选修课，从中国文化周到PBL的“蜡染”，从学生社团自发的中文杂志编写到京剧的学习和演出，从中外教师共同参与的包饺子到中国建筑3D模型拼搭活动等等，学校力求通过课程设计、教学活动、学生活动、中外教师交流、环境布置等各个环节推进国际部学生和教师对中国文化的理解和学习，成为他们学习或工作中不可或缺的重要印记。

今年5月，上海电视台外语频道“直播上海”栏目对上中国际进行了专题采访，一位国际部11年级的韩国学生提到“通过对中文和中国历史的学习，我更好地了解了历史发展的趋势，以及中国取得巨大发展的原因。”

SHSID has always manifested the beauty of Chinese culture on campus, enabling teachers and students to feel the charm of Chinese culture and Chinese civilization in an incorporated cultural environment.

上中国际始终在校园中营造中国文化之美，让师生在文化的融合中感受中国文化和中华文明的魅力。
