Nottingham Confucius Institute (NCI) concluded its Autumn Term Mandarin Corner series with a vibrant evening focused on water lacquer painting, an ancient Chinese art form with over 2,000 years of history. The event brought together nearly 60 staff, students, and local residents for a creative and culturally enriching experience
Student host Ms. YE Zhining kicked off the evening with a warm welcome and an engaging introduction to the historical and cultural significance of water lacquer painting. After a live demonstration and step-by-step instructions, participants had the chance to craft their own unique water lacquer artwork – a beautifully personalised fan to take home.
The event embodied Mandarin Corner’s commitment to fostering cultural exchange and creativity within the community. For those who missed the event or wish to relive the experience, highlights have been shared in a video clip on our Instagram.
As the Autumn Term draws to a close, NCI extends heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff, event partner CSSA, student volunteers and participants who brought the series to life. Wishing everyone a joyous Christmas break, the NCI team looks forward to welcoming everyone back in the New Year for another term filled with learning and culture.

水映丹青，漆韵流长——“水漆画”主题活动圆满结束
2024年11月29日晚，诺丁汉大学孔子学院成功举办了主题为“水漆画”的汉语角活动，吸引了约60名中外师生的积极参与。
活动伊始，主持人叶之宁以热情洋溢的开场白欢迎了到场的参与者，并简要介绍了水漆画的形成历史、艺术特点及主要技法。作为中国传统手工艺的瑰宝，水漆画以独特的艺术形态诠释着东方美学的神韵，演绎着中国传统文化的深厚内涵。在她的引导下，中外学生围绕水漆画展开了热烈讨论，分享了对漆画艺术的理解和兴趣，思想碰撞激发出文化交流的火花。
活动的高潮是水漆画技艺体验环节。在主持人的演示下，学生们兴致昂扬地拿起大漆、扇子、书签等工具，巧妙地运用漆不溶于水的特性，将团扇、书签以摇摆、旋转，沉浸其中，绘制出了绚烂多彩的图案。
活动尾声，参与者们纷纷上台展示并分享了自己的作品，将各种色彩和图案巧妙地融入到扇面之中，创作出了一幅幅独具匠心的作品。
以漆为笔，以水作画。此次汉语角活动为参与者提供了一个深入了解和体验中国传统文化的平台，使得参与者能够在亲手体验水漆画过程中感受到中国传统艺术的魅力，同时也进一步提高了他们学习汉语和探索中国文化的热情。
