On February 24, 2024, the 99 public welfare project of escorting the growth of the "phase" future - welcoming the New Year Dragon Horse Spirit" Lantern Festival bamboo weaving and painting experience activity came to a successful conclusion. On the same day, on the occasion of the Lantern Festival, sponsored by the Women's Federation of Taiping Street, Xiangcheng District, Suzhou City, and undertaken by the Wu Fan Art Cultural Communication Center of Suzhou Industrial Park, the "Escort Growth" Future 99 Public Welfare Project 'Welcoming the New Year Dragon Horse Spirit' Lantern Festival Bamboo Weaving and Painting Experience Activity" was held as scheduled in the Scholarly Courtyard of Taiping Old Street. The purpose of this activity is to combine traditional festival culture with modern art education, and let teenagers spend a creative and cultural Lantern Festival through the unique form of bamboo weaving and painting.
At the event site, a strong festive atmosphere was permeated in the scholarly courtyard. Under the leadership of professional instructors, teenagers from Taiping Street have made bamboo weaving paintings to celebrate the arrival of the Lantern Festival. Using their dexterous hands, the children weave bamboo into a variety of exquisite patterns, and draw patterns full of festive atmosphere on the screen, such as dragon totems, blessing characters, etc., which symbolize reunion and happiness. As a traditional handicraft, bamboo weaving and painting are deeply loved by everyone for its unique charm and cultural connotation. This activity not only allowed the children to feel the charm of traditional culture, but also stimulated their creativity and imagination. In the process of hands-on production, the children not only learned the skills of bamboo weaving and painting, but also deeply experienced the profound heritage of traditional culture.
An interactive session was also set up at the event site, allowing children to show each other's works and share their experiences in the production process. The children said that by participating in this activity, they not only had a deeper understanding of bamboo weaving and painting, but also had a stronger interest in traditional festival culture. They said that they will continue to work hard to learn, inherit and carry forward traditional culture, and contribute to the cultural prosperity of the society. The successful holding of the "Escort Growth 'Phase' Future 99 Public Welfare Project 'Welcome to the New Year Dragon Horse Spirit' Lantern Festival Bamboo Weaving and Painting Experience Activity" not only provides a platform for young people to learn and experience traditional culture, but also injects new vitality into the inheritance and development of traditional culture. It is believed that in the future, more young people will join the ranks of inheriting traditional culture and jointly contribute to the inheritance and promotion of Chinese culture.
In the next step, the Taiping Street Women's Federation will continue to hold more creative and meaningful parent-child activities, provide more platforms for families in the jurisdiction to communicate and learn, promote the harmonious development of parent-child relationship, and let children thrive in a happy atmosphere.
