Mahjong is a widespread Chinese traditional game. It is said that Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher developed Mahjong in approximately 500 BC.
During the Mid-autumn festival of 2016, the Mahjong class came back to the Confucius classroom to celebrate this important festival together. Dozens of students came to Confucius classroom to play Mahjong on Wednesday nights. The Confucius classroom invited a guest teacher - Liangpei Li who is an associate professor in China to teach Mahjong. In the Mahjong class, Mr Li introduced the history and the equipment of this game. Students learned the basics and standard rules of Mahjong and did plenty of in-session practice. “Playing Mahjong is so fun and it is a game of skill calculation and luck. It is a wonderful Chinese cultural experience” Some of the students said. Community class students also had moon cakes with Chinese tea while enjoying Mahjong. It was full of laughs and happiness in the classroom. 麻将在中国是一种十分普及的传统游戏。据说,中国伟大的哲学家孔子大约在公元500年前发明了这项游戏。 适逢2016中秋佳节,麻将再次回到了本迪戈高中孔子课堂,让中外师生共度这一重要的节日。孔子课堂专门邀请了客座教授李良沛为学生们授课。课堂上,李教授不仅介绍了麻将的历史由来以及背景文化,而且还对麻将的基础知识和规则做了详细的介绍和概述。在对麻将有了一定的了解后,学生们兴致勃勃地开始了练习,最后还进行了友谊赛。“打麻将好有趣!它是一项充满了智慧、技巧同时还有关运气的游戏,这是一场非常精彩的中国文化体验。” 2016中秋佳节,吃月饼,打麻将,孔子课堂里一片欢声笑语,其乐融融。 This Thursday, the whole school celebrates Australia’s cultural diversity. In the Chinese section, with the support of Confucius Classroom of Bendigo Senior College(Thank you Mr Lin, Ms Hu, Ms Zhang and Ms Wang), our Camp Hill kids enjoy dumpling making, tasting traditional food and art craft making. Can you imagine that most of our kids have ‘magic hands’ and naturally know how to make beautiful dumplings with different shapes? They have all done a fantastic job on making dumplings.
The dumpling workshops are held in the staff room. Prior to starting the workshop, the Chinese teacher explains to students that ‘making dumplings is considered very good luck. Dumplings signify that wealth and treasure will come to you’. After showing the ingredients of making beef and vegetable dumplings, the teacher demonstrates the technique of making different styles of dumplings such as sun flower and gold fish. All students then have a chance to form and sample finished dumplings. The highlight of the workshop is of course tasting the products of their effort. The juicy dumpling made by our kids definitely taste better than anything mums buy in the supermarket, store or restaurant. They feel like a rock star when they gaze upon the unique dumplings with personal style. The dumpling making activity is fun and satisfying, and it brings so much joy and laughter to our students. 本周四为Camp Hill的多元文化日,该天全体师生一起庆祝了我们澳大利亚的多元文化。在中国文化体验环节,在本迪歌高中孔子课堂的林老师,胡老师,张老师和王老师的大力支持下,我们的小孩高高兴兴地体验了包饺子,做灯笼的民俗活动。或许你会为孩子们的巧手啧啧称奇,他们好像天生就会包饺子一样,做出形状各异的饺子。实在是棒极了。 理所当然地,尝试自己制作的饺子成为整个体验活动的高潮。孩子们自己包的鲜嫩多汁的饺子尝起来比妈妈在超市,商店或者饭店买的都要美味可口。当他们看着自己包的独一无二的饺子,感觉就是厨神上身啊。孩子们的欢声笑语让我们感到无比幸福。 |
