rd Tianyi Pavilion Sinology Summer Camp rounded off

The third Tianyi Pavilion Sinology Summer Camp came to a successful end on August 7. Since its beginning in 2014, the summer camp has attracted an increasing attention from parents and children, as it provides a chance for the local children to touch and learn sinology by establishing a platform to carry forward the traditional Chinese culture.

The summer camp was divided into two periods. The first period in July mainly focused on the traditional etiquette and classics reading. The etiquette part, consisting of the apprentice ceremony, the coming-of-age ceremony, the social etiquette and the dressing etiquette, aims to activate the inherent etiquette elements in the children. Meanwhile, the teachers also led the children to read some basic sinology classics, like the Three-character Classic, Standards for Students, the Book of Songs, and the Analects of Confucius, to learn about the traditional virtues reflected in the classics. The second period in August mainly aimed to teach special traditional skills. So far, the ancient classics printing repair, the calligraphy practice and the chess skill courses have been conducted. The teachers are mainly college students with the related majors from Ningbo University, and they take part in the activity as volunteers.
