Martial arts bridge China and Africa for cross-border cultural exchanges
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 2 (Bernama) -- Eighteen students from six African countries became students of the latest martial arts training class in the Xiqing District of north China's Tianjin.
According to the publicity department with the district, the class recently kicked off in Tianjin Huo Yuanjia Civil and Military School, and was organised by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
The school has been supporting the ministry's African culture project by sending selected martial arts teams to South Africa, conducting exchanges and performances in countries including Tanzania, Namibia, Mauritius, Seychelles and Zimbabwe.
The project is designed to promote friendship via martial arts, and provides a platform for worldwide martial arts learners for exchanges and improvement.
It has built a new bridge for cultural exchanges between China and Africa as well as facilitating cross-border cultural exchanges.
During the three-month study, these African students will learn about China's traditional culture in addition to martial arts training.
Courses including Chinese calligraphy, Yangliuqing folk painting, paper folding and paper-cutting, and basic Chinese will help them understand Chinese culture.
