She must like it!, What is the most "red" in Dayun Village? Türkiye: Hand painted paper fan for mother Sichuan embroidery | Universiade | paper fan
On August 6th, China Daily reported that athletes from different countries and regions were attracted to the mysteries of Chinese culture at the Chengdu Universiade market, from pitching pots, cuju to Chinese chess. Cultural exchange activities not only enhance friendship among young athletes, but also allow them to experience and share Chinese civilization and culture, promoting the common values of all humanity.
The Chengdu Universiade is halfway through the schedule, and the athletes are in full swing. At the same time, outside the arena, the Dayun Village has become a "melting pot" for cultural exchange and collision. At the cultural market that exudes the charm of ancient traditions, participants have the opportunity to wear exquisite Hanfu, experience the charm of traditional Chinese clothing, as well as experience traditional Chinese makeup and nail art, and take photos to capture this unforgettable moment. There are also a variety of Chinese style products on the market, including tea sets, porcelain, and handicrafts, which are very popular among athletes, and they are all taking them home!
Although Türkiye archery athlete Effi Gurkan Maras failed to get on the podium in the competition, he found a perfect gift for his mother at the Expo - a beautiful hand painted paper fan, her favorite pink. He said, "My mother has a special fondness for both pink and Chinese items. I believe she will like this fan. I also plan to buy her a paper umbrella and give her a surprise."
21-year-old table tennis player Mohammad Ansari from Azerbaijan is deeply attracted by Chinese knots. He said he loves this artwork and will hang it in his room when he comes home.
The Dayun Village is located within Chengdu University and consists of 10 apartment buildings, two athlete canteens, a medical center, and a delegation service center, among other necessary facilities. The Tianfu Cultural Experience Hall is one of the most popular places where visitors can experience various ancient Chinese customs.
The traditional Chinese medicine experience area has also become a major highlight, with about 20 skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioners providing acupoint massage and cupping treatment services for athletes and delegation officials, allowing them to discover the special advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in the field of sports medicine.
The Chinese calligraphy experience area is also very popular. Three Australian athletes came to learn how to write their names in Chinese. 800 meter sprinter Luke Dominic Boyce wrote his name in two Chinese characters, which he said was complex but also interesting. Boyce said, "I want to try Hanfu again next time."
In the tea art area, French referee Jerome Dupell is a regular here, coming almost every day. He said he loves green tea and white tea very much.
During the Universiade, there are 56 intangible cultural heritage and traditional cultural experience activities every day in the Universiade Village, which show the representative projects of Paper Cuttings, Sichuan embroidery, shadow play, bamboo weaving, etc. in various cities and prefectures of Sichuan Province. Zhao Hong, the inheritor of Chengdu's intangible cultural heritage shadow puppetry, said, "There are 7 performances every day, from 9am to 7pm, each lasting about half an hour. Zhao Hong also leads the audience to personally color, assemble their favorite shadow puppetry characters, and participate in the performances."
Over the weekend, the ASEAN Art Center Theater in Dayun Village also held a gala gathering cultures from multiple countries. A Sichuan Opera performer performed a face change in the audience and also taught American rower Jack Matthew Dunn two Sichuan Opera moves on stage. Dong Cheng, Executive Deputy Village Chief of Dayun Village, said that the cultural exchange activities in Dayun Village bring young people from all over the world together and get to know each other.
