是次考察,以面試形式,甄選對中國歷史文化及中華古典詩詞有濃厚興趣,且平日能熱情投入於中華文化推廣的同學,選拔升小五至升中二的20位學生,赴江南古都杭州、蘇州,及六朝古都南京遊覽西湖、靈隱寺、錢塘江、雷峰塔、拙政園、寒山寺、虎丘、棲霞寺、中山陵等風景名勝。
江南水鄉,人文薈萃,宋明以來,更是中華文化的淵藪。“上有天堂,下有蘇杭”,江南古都杭州和蘇州,文化發達,還有六朝古都的南京,一直為歷代文人雅士所稱道。這三座古城的景觀在中國古典詩詞中出現得極多,被賦予別樣的意境。
 “讀萬卷書,行萬里路”。此次考察,同學們在遊目騁懷的同時,領略傳統文化的博奧;在品讀山水美景之時,感受遊學的欣悅,真正做到寓學於行,知行合一。大家認真聽取老師的講解,陶醉於美景之中,對古典詩詞有了更進一步的理解,紛紛表示此次遊學受益匪淺,收穫良多。

學員感言

     “非常感恩有機會可以參加這次的學習之旅,經過四日的學習使我獲益良多,透過南越王宮墓我感受到2000年前大漢王朝的鼎盛,透過瞭解紅線女的一生,我感受到她身上所承載的文化重量,透過觀賞粵劇的彩排,我深深得被其深厚韻味所吸引,透過參觀廣繡大廈,看到許許如生的粵繡令我感受到廣府次繡的鬼斧神功。這次學習就是一個很好的機會讓我們更進一步瞭解這一塊養我育我的土地,也對我們對自已更有認同感,原來這一切一直都在我們周邊但卻一直被我們所忽略。明朝著名學者顧炎武先生曾經說過天下興亡匹夫有責。在他的概念中亡國僅僅是改朝換代,而亡天下則是一個民族文化的斷絕。在此引用顧炎武的思想只是想說明廣東人之所以為廣東人,我相信不是一個地理上的概念,而是一個文化上的概念,正是有了粵語,粵劇,粵菜,等這些獨特的嶺南文化的浸泡才使我們為成為一個廣東人。我們需要將廣府文化一直傳承下去。最後非常感謝葉教授和鄭教授以及海星兩位老師及所以同學們和一眾志願者整個旅途的陪伴。尤其要感謝志願者們的照顧,讓這次行程非常完美,非常感謝!最後衷心的感謝在座的每一位陪伴我們這一路的行程,希望廣府文化體驗班能越辦越好,將嶺道文化傳承下去。”

——利瑪竇的李家華同學

“感謝澳門大學中國歷史文化中心舉辦了這個學習營。我身為一位廣東人,但對於廣府文化沒有太深的認識。而我通過這次廣府文化學習班,加深了我對廣府文化的知識,和激發了我對中華傳統文化的好奇心和探索的意念。相信其他同學跟我一樣,都能通過這次的學習班有所收穫。”

UM inaugurates Macao Base for Primary & Secondary Education in Humanities & Social Sciences

The University of Macau (UM) today (26 June) held an inauguration ceremony for the Macao Base for Primary & Secondary Education in Humanities & Social Sciences and an opening ceremony for a training programme launched by the university’s Centre for Chinese History and Culture. The base will launch a series of training and teaching programmes, in collaboration with secondary and primary schools as well as other educational institutions in Macao, in order to promote education in the humanities and social sciences and train talented people in various fields for Macao.

In his speech, Rector Yonghua Song said that ever since the establishment of the Macao SAR, UM has spared no effort to create a better learning environment to help young adults in Macao to grow, and to instill in them the appropriate national identity and ethos, so that they could participate in social practice with a healthier mindset. All this has been done under the guiding principles of the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ policy, and with an urgent sense of social responsibility and an eye towards lofty aims.

Rector Song added that China is now entering a decisive period in its effort to create a moderately prosperous society, with the 13th Five-Year Plan, the ‘One Belt One Road’ initiative, and the Greater Bay Area project in full swing. Chinese people are working towards the goal of realising the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. These developments have created unprecedented opportunities and challenges for young adults in Macao. Therefore, young adults in Macao must cultivate a love for Macao and for the country, and actively prepare themselves to contribute to the development of China.

Hao Yufan, director of the Centre for Chinese History and Culture at UM, said that as one of the first educational bases in humanities and social sciences for primary and secondary school students, the centre has organised many activities related to Chinese history and culture ever since its founding in early 2017. For instance, it launched a newspaper for young adults in Macao, produced a children’s book in Chinese history and culture for students from Portuguese and English schools in Macao, and organised more than 30 masters’ lectures in Chinese history and culture in local secondary and primary schools. These activities have been very well received by teachers and students from local schools. Moreover, this June, the centre launched a series of training and teaching programmes, including a master’s degree programme in literature, a training programme for instructors of courses in Chinese history and culture, comic book series on Chinese history and culture, and a certificate programme in Macao and Chinese civilisation for high school students in Macao.

A book launch and presentation ceremony for a children’s book on Chinese history and culture in the Portuguese language was also held at the event. The comic book presents the history of China in an entertaining manner, with the aim of encouraging students from Portuguese schools in Macao as well as young adults and parents from Portuguese-speaking countries to learn more about Chinese culture, thereby promoting traditional Chinese culture to foreigners.
