In order to better inherit and promote the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, deepen cooperation and exchange, the Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritance Forum on "Integration of Education and Art, Empowerment of Intangible Cultural Heritage - Cross Strait Art Education Jointly Promoting Integrated Development" was recently held at the Affiliated School of Drama at Shanghai Theatre Academy. More than a hundred guests from art schools across the Taiwan Strait, renowned theater troupe artists, and others gathered at the White House Theater of the Chinese Opera School to brainstorm around traditional Chinese opera education, new era performance, and more. The challenges faced by practitioners on both sides of the Taiwan Strait for the inheritance and protection of traditional Chinese opera are similar but different. "Most of the theatrical performances in Taiwan are held at temple fairs, and now emphasis is placed on environmental protection. The sound of drums and gongs is considered noise pollution, and there will be reports." Scholar Lin Maoxian admitted, "Many theatrical troupes are family theater troupes, responsible for their own profits and losses. Due to the lack of good scripts, audience loss, parents cannot bear their children's suffering, and inheritance is facing a lack of successors."

Copper pipe music has been introduced to Chongming for over a hundred years, and brass bands have become a traditional form of art closely linked to the daily customs of the islanders. During important events such as festivals, temple fairs, weddings, or sacrifices, one can always see the active figures of the band. At the 6th National Art Exhibition in 1985, an oil painting titled "On the Field of Hope - A Record of the Farmer's Wind Band" won a gold medal in one fell swoop.

Dialogue between the Dragon and the Lion: How to "mess up" the first official diplomatic contact between China and the UK? | Event | China and the UK

In 1793, the Macartney Mission's visit to China was the first formal diplomatic contact between China and Britain. For a considerable period of time, people's understanding of this event was generally: "The political and economic structures of China and Britain are completely different, and the governments of both countries have adopted a tenacious and uncompromising attitude of resistance in order to maintain their social systems and historical traditions." The occurrence and development of diplomatic events have an unavoidable factor - translation. When British people send missions to China, there will inevitably be language barriers. In order for the mission to effectively communicate with the Qing court, it must rely on translation, which means that translation is an important element of the mission's activities in China. What role did translation play in the Marco Polo delegation's visit to China? What is the significance of understanding this event for us? Professor Wang Hongzhi, Emeritus of the Department of Translation at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, has written a new book titled "Dialogue between Dragons and Lions"
