On October 18, the 2nd Henan International Cultural Festival for Chinese and Foreign Teachers and Students was held in Zhengzhou. ZZRVTC organized Russian and Singaporean foreign teachers, as well as international students from Tajikistan, South Africa, and Malaysia, to participate together.
In the intangible cultural heritage exhibition area, our international students became "ambassadors of intangible cultural heritage," presenting aluminum weaving and Zhuxianzhen woodblock New Year prints for teachers and students from various countries to experience. Visitors marveled at the exquisite shapes of the aluminum crafts, repeatedly asking, "How can such shapes be made?" Some foreign teachers and students, holding their own printed New Year pictures, excitedly asked our students about the stories behind the prints. This form of exchange, using intangible cultural heritage as a medium, enhanced the understanding of Chinese culture among teachers and students from different countries and quickly brought everyone closer together. Our university was awarded the "Best Cultural Presentation Award" by the festival organizers.
This event was a practice of the International Education School's concepts of "cultural education" and "cross-cultural exchange," giving intangible cultural heritage on campus an "international perspective."
