Guided by the principle of “finding joy in learning and appreciating the arts,” this program not only encourages students to engage deeply with traditional humanities classics but also emphasizes hands-on activities and the appreciation of cultural and artistic heritage. Each year, a variety of cultural experience activities are offered, including:

Ancient Book Culture Experiences

Through demonstrations of ancient book restoration, traditional printing and coloring, and mounting and rubbing techniques, these activities bring the world of classical texts closer to teachers and students in an engaging way, allowing them to experience the charm of ancient book culture.

Folk Culture Experiences

Activities such as Kunqu opera gatherings, Shanghai-style paper-cutting, and making herbal sachets for the Dragon Boat Festival help students engage with and deepen their understanding of China’s intangible cultural heritage and folk traditions.

Calligraphy and Ink Painting Workshops

Professional graduate students are invited to teach calligraphy and traditional ink painting techniques, enabling participants to experience firsthand the beauty of Chinese calligraphic and pictorial arts.
