In this year’s Irvine Chinese School Summer Camp, the children embarked on a wonderful journey of exploring ancient Chinese clothing culture with curiosity. At the beginning of the activity, the children personally wove Ruyi knot jade pendants, cloud pattern beaded bracelets, spring flower round fans, and jade official hats. This special course was carefully planned by the cultural workshop teacher, leading the students step by step to understand what the ancients wore and how they wore it. Under the guidance of the teacher, the children initially felt the charm of traditional Chinese culture through these exquisite handicrafts. Afterwards, they designed and made their own unique Hanfu according to the paper patterns. Whether it was a cross-collar right lapel, an open round lapel, or a dragon robe, each piece of clothing was unique. The embellishment of various laces, such as bronze patterns, tripod patterns, phoenix patterns, bat patterns, and sea tide patterns, made the children seem to travel through the time corridor of ancient times, experiencing the artistic beauty of traditional Chinese aesthetics firsthand. Wearing Hanfu, matching with homemade hats and accessories, and combing their hair into buns with hairpins, the children seemed to transform into little talented scholars and beautiful women from ancient times. The highlight of the event was learning the “walking” of the ancients. Coinciding with US Independence Day, the fashion show also showcased the results of the students’ tie-dyeing from last week. Each white T-shirt was tied, colored, heated, and stirred by the children themselves, each with its own unique characteristics. As the fashion show came to an end, the children took off their Hanfu, revealing the red, white, and blue T-shirts inside. When the audience saw the children holding round fans, and lanterns, and taking subtle wave-like steps on the stage, it was as if they were in a classical poetic painting. They put on star-shaped sunglasses and walked out with a cool and confident stride, holding red, white, and blue balloons, and eating red, white, and blue popsicles. The atmosphere reached a climax as the children returned to the modern era, happily celebrating National Day together. On the day of the show, parents were also invited to witness their children’s growth and progress. Every dance step and every look was full of respect and love for traditional culture. On stage, the children confidently demonstrated the knowledge and skills they had learned to the accompaniment of melodious classical music. The audience frequently burst into warm applause, creating a warm and moving atmosphere. Everyone agreed that such cultural experience activities not only enriched the children’s summer life but also contributed to the inheritance and promotion of China’s excellent traditional culture. This wonderful fashion show not only allowed the children to experience the beauty of traditional Chinese costumes but also cultivated their love and pride in Chinese culture. The event received unanimous praise from parents. Irvine Chinese School will continue to be committed to enabling more children to deeply understand and inherit China’s excellent traditional culture through vivid and interesting activities during the process of learning Chinese.
