The activity of “Friendly Shandong Remarkable Shandong I Love You” international students experiencing Shandong was held recently in Ningyang County, Tai’an City. Six foreign students got a close-up understanding of Confucianism at Fusheng Cultural Park and personally experienced traditional customs such as ancient printing, Hanfu wearing, pitch-pot game and archery.

At Zhonghua Family Culture Museum, foreign students learned about Chinese classics and the usage of ancient Chinese sundials, rulers, and scales. They showed great interest in these unfamiliar traditions. Regarding rubbings, PHOMPIDA SAENGTAVANH from Laos said, "I found the ancient rubbing technique very interesting. It is similar to the copiers used by modern people. The ancient Chinese people were so clever that they came up with this method of printing patterns in ancient times."

They also learned about the origin and basic wearing methods of the Han costumes. ZIYOEVA SHAHNOZA from Tajikistan was particularly interested in the game of pitch-pot and said that she found ancient Chinese techniques quite fascinating.
