Taking green sandalwood bark and soaking in mountain spring water, after 108 pure manual processes, a brand new rice paper was presented to the "little gentlemen" of Hefei Normal University. Jing County, Anhui Province is a famous "hometown of Xuan paper". Here, the 'little gentlemen' immersed themselves in the entire process of making rice paper from raw material collection to sun drying and calendering, and then returned to the 'Xingzhi School' to teach what they had learned to the children. This summer, there are 227 "Xingzhi Schools" like this, located throughout Anhui and surrounding provinces and cities. The President of Hefei Normal University, Fang Dongling, introduced to reporters that in recent years, based on the mission and characteristics of normal education, the college has organized college student volunteers to go deep into urban and rural areas during winter and summer vacations and spare time, practicing the educational philosophy of "Little Teacher System" and "Teaching and Practice Integration", and widely holding free public welfare schools - "Xingzhi School". Among them, the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage is a compulsory course in every 'Xingzhi School', "said Fang Dongling. At a "Xingzhi School" in Hefei, Anhui, Guo Yizheng, a teacher from the Art Department of Hefei Normal University, patiently guides children and helps them master the printing techniques of Huizhou style prints, allowing each child to produce unique works. A child printed the horsehead wall as' a small house with a hat ', which actually gave them a naive and interesting feeling. I think this is the vitality of intangible cultural heritage. When children hold up their works to' show off 'to each other, the stories about Huizhou have quietly integrated into their hearts, "Guo Yi sighed. In another "Xingzhi School" in Hefei, the projection screen depicts the changes from the Han Dynasty's "images in the curtains" to the Song and Yuan Dynasty's street leather shadow plays. "Little gentlemen" from the School of Physics and Materials Engineering at Hefei Normal University explain the characteristics of different materials such as donkey skin and cowhide, and analyze the auspicious meanings hidden in the hollow patterns. In the practical stage, some children added flame patterns symbolizing bravery to the shadow puppetry of military generals, while others carved lotus patterns symbolizing purity on the shadow puppetry of female lead roles. Through each stroke and brush, they infused ancient art with a childlike expression. Chizhou Nuo Opera is known as the "living fossil of traditional Chinese opera". In Chizhou, Anhui Province, the School of Mathematics and Statistics of Hefei Normal University has partnered with the Xiushanmen Museum in Chizhou City to create a unique and interesting "Xingzhi School". The 'Nuo masks' are an important part of Chizhou Nuo opera culture. These masks are carefully carved by craftsmen using maple wood and painted with egg white, which can be stored for a hundred years without cracking. The masks also have unique dynamic effects, such as blinking and moving the mouth... "At the school, Wang Qinglin, deputy director of Xiushanmen Museum, explained while leading the children to make' Nuo masks'. This is simply 'talking wood'! "Exclaimed the young student Zhao Xinran excitedly. This summer, Hefei Normal University will bring more than 10 intangible cultural heritage projects into the "Xingzhi School". Through inviting intangible cultural heritage inheritors to enter the school, on-site visits for teaching, and offering special craft courses, a series of immersive experiences and interactive teaching will be carried out, allowing "little masters" to fully communicate and learn from children. Warm rice paper, heavy prints, and lively Nuo opera... The charming intangible cultural heritage has entered the 'Xingzhi Classroom' one after another. This is not only a vivid cultural lesson, but also a themed 'Great Ideological and Political Course'. ”Xu Chenggang, Secretary of the Party Committee of Hefei Normal University, said. (New Society)
