Tradition Sets Sail
Let's say a group of students are given a craft-making (工艺制作)task, what do you think they will be able to do? In terms of (谈到) this question, some students have given a satisfactory (令人满意的) a. They built a wooden Chinese sailing ship.
The students come from the No. 8 High School in Fuzhou, Fujian. In a practical class offered by the school, about 30 students d to build a sailing ship. Their idea came from a typical Fujian-style trading ship used during the Ming and Qing d. With the h of their teacher and two experienced craftsmen, they started their work in March, 2021.
However, b a sailing ship was far more difficult than they had thought. A group of the students s time drawing sketches, bringing wood to make the hull, and raising the sails. When they f the ship, another group started to paint the ship. Liu Xinyi, a student who learns traditional Chinese painting, worked with her partner. One of their p is a bird with big wings. "My idea is from a traditional Chinese s about the bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea with stones," said Liu.
Now, the w Chinese sailing ship stands still among teaching buildings. Teachers use the ship as a teaching tool. "It's so great to encourage creativity in students, improve their hands-on skills and inherit the spirit of craftsmanship (工匠精神)," said one of the student group's teachers.
