畅游历史长河，美哉！壮哉！

孔子曰：“吾闻老聃博古知今，通礼乐之原，明道德之归，则吾师也，今将往矣。”上海金山杭州湾双语学校举办了一年一度的华夏文化周活动，同学们在悠久的历史中畅游，欣赏传统文化之美。

“风萧萧兮易水寒，壮士一去兮不复还”。战国时代，定有无数的英雄辈出。同学按战国诸雄布置教室，描绘英雄脸谱，感受英雄们浩瀚的气概。课间同学们又在做什么呢？打中国结，看故事猜成语……同学们不但感受了传统工艺之美，还锻炼了动手能力，真是一举两得。

“七子高风拂混茫，丹青遗影尚琳琅”。竹林七贤，魏晋风度。同学们了解了竹林七贤的故事，感受魏晋自由之风，还把他们的事迹写在了古风书签上，别有一番典雅的气质。同学们还欣赏了顾恺之的画作，感受魏晋时期人们的精神状态。“

说起宋代，我们能吟出：“想当年，金戈铁马，气吞万里如虎。”同学们了解了爱国词人辛弃疾的生平经历，被他的爱国情怀所打动。他们还尝试描绘山水，描绘平时人们不太注意的俗世美景。每座山，每条河，都是独特的，有着自己独有的沟壑与经历。

宋朝的集市更为热闹：“爆竹声中一岁除， 春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户曈曈日，总把新桃换旧符。” 教室被打扮成了宋代集市的样子，同学们走入其中，仿佛身临其境，置身于一个个大街小巷中。在观看敦煌画九色鹿时，莫高窟的美景令人惊叹，让人如痴如醉。孔明锁、猜字谜，同学们也玩儿这些传统的游戏，融入到古人日常娱乐生活之中。

周五盛装日，同学们穿上传统汉服，亲身感受传统服饰之美，更弘扬中华传统文化，树立民族自信。  

Indulging in the past time of history is glorious and splendid. What a magestic view it is!

Kongzi said that, “ l have heard Laozi is very versed in both ancient and modern learnings.” That’s the reason why HBBSS hold the annual Chinese Culture Week. Students indulge in the long history of China, and appreciate the beauty of traditional culture.

“The wind howls over the frisid waters, the vigorous departs to never return.” During the period of Zhanguo, many heroes did valiant recordz. Students from Grade Six decorates the classroom with the topic of the countries in the period of Zhanguo. They also watch the video about the period of Zhanguo, and have a deeper understanding of that period. In the art lesson, students depict the facial makeup in operas of hero. They find out the ancient people’s understanding toward the color and the great spirit of hero. Can you guess what activities the students are doing during their leisure time? They are tying Chinese knots and guessing idioms by reading stories. Students both learn more about the history and practice the working abilities.

“ The seven sages are all noble characters; their merits are worth learning.” How talented the seven sages of the bamboo grove are! Students in grade seven decorate their classroom with the topic of seven sages of the bamboo grove, and they also watch the videos about them. In the art class, students trace the painting of great artist Kaizhi Gu and exerience the culture of Weijin. Students also make the bookmark in ancient customs. They not only learn about the comments toward the seven sages of the bamboo grove, but also practice calligraphy. It is more interesting to play Gobong. Some students drop chess on the chessboard after long meditation; some students write as if a magic pen with confidence.

We associate the verse “Countless dynasties replace in thousands of years” when we are talking about Song Dynasty. This is a patriotic verse from “ Nan Xiang Zi- recalling the experience of visiting capital palace”, written by the famous poet Qiji Xin. The eighth graders decorated their classrooms in the theme of Song dynasty poets (including life experiences, artificial opuses, etc.) and watched videos about Qiji Xin. In art class, students try to depict their own landscape paintings, and secular scenery usually not being noticed. Every single mountain and river is unique, and having their own ravines and experiences. For amusement, they play nine interlocking links, and fabricate moon-shaped pan. Every person puts his or her thinking cap on and practices spatial thinking ability.

“ The new year comes in the sound of exploding firecrackers, and people drink Tusu wine in the breeze of spring. The sunrise shines upon thousands of families, while people replace old Taofu with new ones.” The Song dynasty market is much busier than nowadays. The ninth graders ornament their classrooms to a Song dynasty market. As you walk into it, you can undergo tangible Song dynasty alleys. They also watch videos related to Shanghai’s history, which helps them understand how the city of Shanghai develops from a small village to a metropolis. In art class, students attempt creating after appreciating the Dunhuang painting - nine color deer. Everyone is amazed by the magnificence of Mogao Grottoes. Then, students try to unlock the Kongming lock, solve word puzzles, sufficiently integrate the life of ancient people.

On the Friday Costume Day, students wear classic Chinese costume, personally experience the beauty of traditional clothing, which further promotes Chinese traditional culture, and set up national confidence.
