以武会友，感受中华武术魅力

作为今年中国馆的主题活动，"以武会友"吸引了众多师生驻足体验。

活动现场，老师们向学生介绍了中华武术的历史渊源和文化内涵，并带领大家学习基本武术动作，体验太极扇、太极剑等传统武术元素。学生们还近距离认识了刀、枪、剑、棍等传统兵器，在互动体验中感受中华武术刚柔并济、内外兼修的精神魅力。

武术不仅是一项运动，更承载着中华民族崇德尚武、以礼待人的文化精神，也让来自不同文化背景的学生在体验中增进了对中华传统文化的理解。

As the highlight of this year's Chinese Pavilion, the theme "Building Friendship Through Martial Arts" attracted enthusiastic participation from students and staff throughout the day.

During the event, teachers introduced students to the history, philosophy, and cultural significance of Chinese martial arts before guiding them through a range of interactive activities. Participants learned fundamental martial arts movements and explored traditional disciplines such as Tai Chi Fan and Tai Chi Sword. They also had the opportunity to observe and handle a variety of traditional Chinese martial arts weapons—including the broadsword, spear, straight sword, and staff—gaining first-hand insight into this unique aspect of Chinese culture in a safe and engaging environment.

More than just a physical discipline, Chinese martial arts embody values such as respect, self-discipline, perseverance, and courtesy. Through these hands-on experiences, students from diverse cultural backgrounds gained a deeper appreciation of the rich traditions and enduring spirit of Chinese culture.

多元互动，让中华文化"活"起来

除了武术体验，当天还设置了快板和赛旱龙舟等互动项目，让学生们在参与中学习，在体验中交流。

节奏明快的快板表演和互动教学，让大家感受到中国传统曲艺的独特韵律；充满趣味和团队合作精神的赛旱龙舟，则吸引了众多学生踊跃参与，现场欢声笑语不断。

丰富多样的互动体验，不仅激发了学生们对中华文化的浓厚兴趣，也让大家在轻松愉快的氛围中收获了跨文化交流的乐趣。

In addition to the martial arts activities, the Chinese Pavilion featured a range of interactive cultural experiences, including Kuaiban and land dragon boat racing, encouraging students to learn through participation and cultural exchange.

Students enjoyed the lively rhythms and audience interaction of Kuaiban, gaining an introduction to this distinctive form of traditional Chinese performing arts. The land dragon boat racing activity, which combined fun, teamwork, and friendly competition, quickly became a favourite among participants, filling the pavilion with energy, laughter, and excitement.

These engaging hands-on experiences sparked students' curiosity about Chinese culture while creating meaningful opportunities for cross-cultural learning and interaction. By exploring different aspects of Chinese traditions in an enjoyable and inclusive environment, students were able to develop a deeper appreciation for the richness and diversity of Chinese culture.
