UNNC International staff and students celebrate Chinese Lantern Festival.

手工制作虎年布艺红包、制作品鉴宁波汤圆、猜灯谜、欣赏中国传统戏曲演绎……日前，宁波诺丁汉大学国际师生走进宁波八大历史文化街区之一的南塘老街，参观老街，体验中国春节、元宵节的传统文化，感受浓厚的宁波年味。

此次“品元宵、庆冬奥”国际人文交流体验活动由宁波诺丁汉大学、宁波海丝国际旅游交流中心、《宁波聚焦》杂志社主办，旨在发挥学校国际人文交流基地优势、促进国际人文友好交流互动、弘扬中国传统节日文化、推动中外友好交流互鉴。

下午3时，师生们来到南塘老街。新年的老街换上了虎年的新妆，处处是虎的元素。师生们第一次尝试制作了虎年布艺红包。宁波诺丁汉大学英语语言教学中心的教师Sannia Mareta一针一线缝制了她的虎年布艺红包，萌萌的小老虎让她爱不释手。

特别有意思的是，正值冬奥会，吉祥物冰墩墩“一墩难求”，宁诺师生还手动制作了冰墩墩汤团，以特殊方式迎元宵、庆冬奥。宁波诺丁汉大学经济学助理教授Jan Jozwik和他的夫人Amalia Rodero Lopez表示，“很高兴能够沉浸式地感受中国传统节日，跟文化相关的活动总是非常有趣。”“而且我很喜欢冰墩墩，想买但太畅销了，买不到。” Amalia Rodero Lopez说。

猜灯谜是元宵节民俗文化活动中的重要内容。古人在元宵佳节赏花灯、猜灯谜、吃元宵、觅佳人，这些活动蕴含着中国人独有的浪漫。现场，宁诺师生兴致颇高，热情参与。

“今天的活动非常有意思。我很想了解中国的文化，这是一个很好的机会，让我感受不同的民俗风情和人文气息，我在这儿度过了十分美好的时光，” 宁波诺丁汉大学社会科学与国际政治助理教授Grant Dawson评价道。

作为中英政府联手打造的国际化高等教育典范，宁波诺丁汉大学目前师生来自全球70多个国家和地区，他们在这里走进中国，了解中国文化，成为传播中国文化的使者。

UNNC International staff and students celebrate Chinese Lantern Festival

Making Ningbo Tangyuan, guessing the lantern riddles, enjoying traditional Chinese operas… to celebrate the Chinese Lantern Festival, the international staff and students of University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), as well as other foreigners living in Ningbo were invited to visit the Nantang Historical Block to experience the traditional Chinese culture of New Year and Lantern Festival.

This international cultural exchange experience activity was sponsored by UNNC, Ningbo Tourism Information Centre and Ningbo Focus, aiming to promote cultures of traditional Chinese festivals, and encourage culture exchanges and mutual learning internationally.

In the Nantang Historical Block, participants tried to make cloth red envelopes with tiger print for the New Year of the Tiger. As the activity took place at the same time as the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, during which the Olympic mascot “Bing Dwen Dwen” went viral on the Internet, the participants also made Tangyuan in the shape of “Bing Dwen Dwen” to celebrate this special Lantern Festival. Dr Jan Jozwik, Assistant Professor of Economics at UNNC and his wife Amalia Rodero Lopez had been watching the Olympic Games and enjoyed the Tangyuan making activity. “I’m excited to have this immersive experience of traditional Chinese festivals and I love ‘Bing Dwen Dwen’, so I’m quite impressed by these ‘Bing Dwen Dwen’ Tangyuan,” said Amalia.

In the folk culture of traditional Lantern Festival, guessing lantern riddles, appreciating the decorative lanterns and eating Tangyuan are symbolic ways of celebration. In the Nantang Historical Block, the participants showed great interest in the diverse activities and enjoyed the festival atmosphere.

As a pioneer and role model of international higher education institute jointly established by the Chinese and British governments, UNNC now has staff and students from more than 70 countries and regions around the world. Here they visit China, learn about Chinese culture, and become ambassadors of Chinese culture.
