CKYC Bamboo Weaving Painting Workshop

蔡繼有書院非遺竹編畫工作坊

Ms. Chen Yiqi, from the Confucius Institute at the University of Macau, organized a workshop on the intangible cultural heritage of bamboo weaving and painting, as one of the RC activities of the 2nd Festival of Chinese Culture, on 14 November. Ms. Chen firstly introduced the characteristics, historical usages, cultural significance, as well as the current social status of bamboo. This introduction from ancient to contemporary gradually brought the students to the cultural atmosphere. As a symbol of national character, bamboo has been deeply loved by the public since ancient times. It has been the subject of many works by literati and artists. The bamboo weaving is also widely used in daily life, such as construction and food containers. Therefore, bamboo weaving serves as an important existence carrying the cultural and practical values. The process of its use and production also reflects the harmonious unity between humans and nature, which is a typical Chinese pursuit. Through the introduction given by Ms. Chen, students gained a deeper understanding of bamboo and bamboo weaving. After introducing this background, students had the opportunity to personally experience bamboo weaving activities. As creating bamboo woven products is very complex and difficult, they tried a simplified version. Through hands-on experience, everyone gained a more intuitive understanding and appreciation for the wisdom and labor skills of the ancient craftsman. This activity provided a good opportunity to link the students and traditional culture, allowing them to enjoy this cultural experience.

澳門大學孔子學院陳依琪老師於11月14日開辦了非遺竹編畫工作坊，此為第二屆中國文化節書院活動之一。老師分別介紹了竹子特色、歷史用途、文化內涵。並且介紹了竹編這一非物質文化遺產的現狀。這種從古到今的串連，讓同學們在時間上有了循序漸進的感覺，進而自然地沈浸在這種文化氛圍之中。作為民族氣節的象徵，竹子深受大眾的喜愛。文人墨客的筆下有眾多關於竹子的作品。同時竹編又廣泛地被用於建築和日常生活。因此，竹編是集文化價值和使用價值於一體的重要文化載體，這也是其當下重要性所在。使用和製作竹編的過程也體現出了人與自然和諧統一。通過這些知識補充，同學們對竹子和竹編有了更多的了解。介紹完這些背景之後，同學們親自體驗了竹編活動。竹編製品的工序十分複雜，同學們僅體驗了一個簡化版的竹編畫作。同學們選取了自己喜歡的圖案進行創作，興致勃勃。在動手的過程中，大家對於古人的智慧和勞動能力有了更直觀的感受和體驗。“非物質文化遺產”不再只是條約文件中所提及的定義，更在大家的記憶中留下了深刻的印象。此次活動這是一個良好的機會，拉近了同學們與傳統文化之間的距離；讓同學們在繁忙的生活之餘有時間靜下心來享受這一文化活動。
