In Athens, Greece, Bangkok, Thailand, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, intangible cultural heritage exhibitions and folk experiences such as shadow puppetry, woodcut New Year paintings, acrobatics and magic are diverse and exciting. These activities, full of strong Chinese New Year flavor, attract enthusiastic participation from both Chinese and foreign people, enhance mutual understanding through cultural exchanges, and convey a beautiful vision through mutual learning of civilizations. The municipal square in the center of Athens, the capital of Greece, is adorned with red lanterns and a series of exciting performances. The "Happy Spring Festival" temple fair was recently held here. Accompanied by the sound of drums and gongs, a "little fairy crane" gracefully wraps its long neck and gently spreads its wings - a fragment of the classic play "Turtle and Crane" is being performed in the Beijing Shadow Puppetry Exhibition Area. Many parents experience manipulating shadow puppets with their children. Han Bing, a representative inheritor of Beijing shadow puppetry intangible cultural heritage, introduced that the team has specially designed character images and cultural and creative products based on Greek mythology. "Many cultural and creative works have been warmly welcomed by local people, and intangible cultural heritage skills can become a language that transcends cultures. Folk craftsmen from Beijing brought intangible cultural heritage exhibitions such as Beijing embroidery. When they saw the embroiderers using silk thread to outline the auspicious patterns of peonies blooming and horses stepping on auspicious clouds on the silk fabric, several Greek women enthusiastically picked up embroidery needles and completed simple stitches under the patient guidance of their master, with a sense of achievement on their faces. Athens Mayor Dukas and Chinese Ambassador to Greece Fang Qiu jointly added the finishing touch to the dragon dance. Dukas said, "We look forward to more creative cooperation and opportunities between the peoples of Greece and China in the new year." The sunshine in Bangkok is warm, and the Chinese cultural center in Thailand is decorated with lights. The "Happy Spring Festival" special performance for the 2026 Year of the Horse recently kicked off here. Writing Spring Festival couplets with the character 'Fu', making auspicious fish lanterns, and creating woodblock New Year paintings, the tables are lined up like a small 'New Year's Customs Street'. Children from both China and Thailand hold brushes and write the word 'fu' on red paper; In front of the fish lantern making stage, the colored paper is folded at the fingertips, and the shadow of the lantern reflects a small joy. The lights gradually lit up, and vocal music, martial arts, dance, acrobatics, and traditional Chinese music took turns to perform. The erhu performance of 'Horse Racing' has a lively rhythm, pushing the atmosphere to a climax and conveying the blessings of 'leading the way, dragon and horse spirit' to the Thai audience. Local resident Pani specially brought her daughter to watch the performance. Pani said that such activities are like a window, allowing children to better understand and love Chinese culture through participation. The unique Chinese drum performance of "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping" kicked off the Spring Festival Gala with the swinging of drumsticks and the resounding sound of drums. At this event held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, exciting performances such as acrobatics, magic, and martial arts were staged in rotation, attracting more and more audiences. Everyone raised their phones and recorded each exciting moment. At the Chinese cultural exhibition booth, calligraphy works such as "Success on horseback", "Ten Thousand Blessings", and "Ruyi" convey the beautiful wishes of the Chinese New Year in the Year of the Horse. I particularly love Chinese culture, "said Motaz from Riyadh to reporters. He stayed in Jeddah for an extra day just to participate in this event." Horses symbolize vitality, action, and progress. I hope that in the new year, Saudi China relations will further develop and benefit the people of both countries
