A unique cultural experience activity —— a tour of exploring Sichuan Opera was held, inviting participants to get close to this time-honored traditional Chinese art and feel the profound cultural heritage of China. For those interested in Chinese culture, such a close-up encounter with traditional opera is a precious opportunity to understand local culture deeply.

Sichuan Opera, a bright pearl in the treasure trove of Chinese opera, has a long history dating back to the Tang Dynasty and has long been known as "the champion of Shu opera in the world". The activity specially invited foreign teachers to visit the studio of Ms. Chen Qiaoru, a contemporary Sichuan Opera master, allowing everyone to have an in-depth exchange with the inheritor of traditional art and experience the charm of Sichuan Opera up close.

Under the guidance of professional staff, the foreign teachers took Ms. Chen Qiaoru's artistic experience as the main line, and systematically learned the development history of Sichuan Opera. From its origin and evolution to its integration with local culture, every detail let everyone feel the profound heritage of this traditional art. At the same time, the staff also explained in detail the music and singing of Sichuan Opera, the four skills (singing, reciting, acting, fighting) and five methods (hand, eye, body, method, step) of opera art, as well as the unique stage performance skills, letting the foreign teachers have a comprehensive understanding of the artistic characteristics of Sichuan Opera.

In addition, the activity also focused on introducing the international influence of Sichuan Opera. As one of the representative genres of Chinese opera, Sichuan Opera has been spread to many countries and regions around the world, becoming an important window for the world to understand Chinese culture. The foreign teachers listened carefully, asked questions actively, and had in-depth discussions with the staff and Ms. Chen Qiaoru on the inheritance and innovation of Sichuan Opera, and the integration of traditional art and modern culture.

"This activity is very meaningful. It let me truly feel the charm of Chinese traditional art, and also made me have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture," said one foreign teacher who participated in the activity. Many foreign teachers said that through this tour, they not only understood Sichuan Opera, but also became more interested in the cultural environment of China, and looked forward to having more such cultural experience opportunities in the future.

This cultural tour not only allowed foreign teachers to appreciate the unique charm of Sichuan Opera, but also deepened their understanding and love for Chinese culture. For foreign educators who are working or planning to work in China, such cultural experiences are precious opportunities to integrate into local life and enrich their life experience. It is also a beautiful way to build a bridge between different cultures through the collision of art and communication.
