2023-2024学年CAS活动之旅（二）——福建前洋文化探索之旅

福建组的活动筹备工作，同学们从出发前的两三个月起就开始启动了。他们通过当地公众号渠道深入调研当地的风土人情，与实践基地老师进行细致沟通，精心规划行程安排，确保每位同学都能选择到心仪的学习课程，以丰富他们的文化探索之旅。此外，同学们还充分发挥自己的创造力与热情，通过售卖美术、篆刻以及制作文创产品等方式筹集资金，用以购买复旦大学特色纪念品，并作为礼物送给当地师生。经过一番筹备，他们满怀期待地踏上了这趟充满探索与学习的旅程。

The students of the Fujian group actively prepared for the trip two to three months before departure. They used local media channels to conduct in-depth research on the local customs and traditions, communicated with the teachers at the destination, and carefully planned an itinerary to ensure that each student could choose their preferred course of study, thus en-

riching their cultural exploration trip. In addition, the students gave full play to their creativity and enthusiasm to raise funds through painting, seal carving, and making cultural and creative products to buy daily necessities and Fudan University's special souvenirs as a friendly gift to the local teachers and students. After a lot of preparation, they embarked on this 

journey with great expectation.

前洋初体验

高铁到达福州，同学们坐上大巴，穿过隧道，转过山路，终于抵达了福建省宁德市屏南县双溪镇前洋村。大家在小路前下了车，随着青树翠蔓，步行登山来到了书院。

First Impressions of Qianyang

The students traveled through the tunnels and along the winding mountain roads on the bus, finally arriving at Qianyang Village, Shuangxi Town, Pingnan 

County, Ningde, Fujian Province. Everyone got off the bus in front of the path, along with the green trees and vines, and hiked on foot to the academy.

到了书院台顶，打开阳台门，同学们仿佛发现了新的世界，大家兴奋得轮流到台顶拍照。Eric甚至比着手指做相框，自言自语道：“我现在就想写生”。

At the top of the academy terrace, opening the balcony door, the students took turns taking photos on the terrace as if they had  

discovered a new world; Eric even made a picture frame with his fingers and said to himself, "I want to sketch right now".

Danni 和Cherilyn:

初到前洋村，我首先看到的是生机勃勃的自然风光，清新的空气对我来说既陌生又美妙。而这里淳朴的民风也深深吸引了我。作为一个生活在城市里的学生，这次深入乡村的机会给我带来了前所未有的新鲜感，让我立刻感受到了乡村生活的魅力。这些与自然和谐共处的经验，是任何课本知识都无法替代的。

Danni and Cherilyn:

When I first arrived at Qianyang Village, the first thing I saw was the vibrant natural scenery, and the fresh air was both strange and wonderful to me. And the simple folk style here also attracted me deeply.

 As a student living in the city, this opportunity to go deep into the countryside brought me an unprecedented sense of freshness and made me immediately feel the charm of village life. These 

experiences of living in harmony with nature cannot be replaced by any textbook knowledge.

Sean:

第一次踏上这个世外桃源，我就爱上了它。层层叠叠的群山环绕着前阳村，充满了浓郁的文化气息。静谧的空气，芬芳的花朵，净化了我久居都市的心灵。在张勇老师的带领下，我们开始一步步了解这个世外桃源。从文化渊源，到人文情怀，再到经济发展，无不震撼着我的心灵，让我内心的灵魂细胞在这里彻底展开。

Sean: 

The first time I set foot in this paradisiacal place, I fell in love with it. Layers and layers of mountains wrap around the Qianyang Village, filling with a strong cultural flavor. The quiet air and fragrant flowers purified my soul after living in the city for so 

long. Under the guidance of Mr. Zhang Yong, we began to understand this heavenly place step by step. From the cultural origin to the humanistic feelings, to the economic development, all of them shook my soul and made the cells of my inner soul completely unfold here.

晚间的简会上，复旦大学的张勇教授分享了自己的经历。他依托复旦大学的资源，在前洋村开设了数门品牌课程，并依此投入到乡村建设中来。他提到自己近五六年深入驻扎在乡村中的种种美丽，种种艰辛，还有艺术人的人文精神。“中国还有多少文化的碎片散落在农村之中”、“农村的本质问题是人”等金句使同学们陷入了深思。会后，带着兴奋与期待，大家迅速投入到了第二天的准备工作中。

At the evening cafe brief, Prof. Zhang Yong from Fudan University shared his experience. Relying on the resources of Fudan University, he has opened several brand courses in Qianyang Village and invested in village construction accordingly. He mentioned all the beauty, all the hardships, 

and the humanistic spirit of the artisans in the countryside where he has been deeply stationed for nearly five or six years. "How many fragments of Chinese culture are still scattered in the countryside" and "the essential problem of the countryside is people" these words made the 

students fall into deep thought. After the meeting, with excitement and anticipation, everyone quickly went into the preparation for the next day.

第一站：张氏宗祠话文化

在宽广的大殿中，一堂别开生面的艺术课正在进行中。张勇教授从中西建筑的特色与区别开始讲起，“木”“石”之别，“火”“光”之研，内向与外向文化的发展形态，雕与塑的区别与关系，从艺术讲到历史，又从历史讲到社会。同学们陶醉在张教授的知识海洋里，听得如痴如醉。

Stop 1:  Zhang's Ancestral Hall 

In the vast hall, a unique art class was in progress. Prof. Zhang Yong started from the characteristics and differences between Chinese and Western architecture, the difference between "wood" and "stone", the study of "fire" 

and "light", the development of inward and outward cultural patterns, and the  relationship between sculpture and molding, from art to history, and from history to society. The 

students were intoxicated by Prof. Zhang's sea of knowledge and listened as if they were mesmerized.

第二站：文物间与陶瓷博物馆

在文物间，同学们与塑像合影留念，面对牌匾辨字，坐在榻上小憩，感受着“老物件”身上的能工巧思。张教授拿来一个陶瓷罐子，让大家猜猜这个罐子是做什么用的。同学们的回答五花八门，最后Tiana猜到了,这可能是茶叶罐。精巧的罐口尺寸和稳定的下座盘面，以及整体的弧形大容积，将生活的便利性和审美的趣味性融为一体，真是当地人几百年生活智慧的结晶。

Stop 2: Relics and Ceramic Museum

In the cultural relics room, students took pictures with statues, facing the plaque to identify the word, sitting on the couch to take a rest, and feel the "old objects" on the ingenuity. Professor Zhang brought a ceramic jar and asked everyone to guess what the jar was for. The students gave a variety of answers, and 

finally Tiana guessed that it was probably a tea canister. The delicate size of the mouth of the jar and the stable lower seat plate, as well as the overall curved large volume, combines the convenience of life and aesthetic interest, which is the crystallization of the local people's wisdom of hundreds of years of life.

在陶瓷博物馆，张教授从一个蝙蝠型的筷子容器讲开来，让大家了解到蝙蝠在中国和欧洲的不同含义。（在中国“蝠”谐音“福”，是瑞兽；而在欧洲，蝙蝠常与瘟疫相关，是凶兽。）一方水土养一方人，一群人创造一种文化，而一种文化又会以不同的艺术形式表达独特的价值观念。

At the Museum of Ceramics, Prof. Zhang started with a bat-shaped chopstick container, and let everyone understand the different meanings of bats in China and Europe. ( in China, the word "bat"

means "blessing" and

is a mythical beast; in Europe, bats are often associated with the plague and are vicious beasts.) A group of people create a culture, and a culture expresses its unique values in  different art forms.

第三站：采访村民

小雨淅淅，思绪绵绵。只有当敲开村民家的大门，与他们一一对话时，同学们才能真正理解中国当代社会的基层在何处，农村问题出在哪儿，哪些农村非遗文化该受到重视......这些话题有些沉重。在此摘录Alexander同学的部分感悟供大家思考。

Stop 3: Interviews with villages

The rain is drizzling, and the thoughts are endless. Only when knocking on the doors of villagers' homes and talking to them one by one can students truly understand where 

the grassroots of contemporary Chinese society are, where the problems in the countryside lie, and where rural non-heritage culture should be emphasized...

These topics are a bit heavy. Here are some excerpts of Alexander's insights for your consideration.

Alexander：

今天，在采访了几位村民之后，我们才真正了解到困扰全世界村庄和其他小城镇的人口减少这一深刻问题。具体来说，我们了解到，在我们所在的前洋村，人口从几十年前的 600 人左右大幅减少到现在仅剩 40 人。人口的急剧减少是一个全球现象。

Today, after interviewing several villagers, we truly understand the deep problem of population decline that has plagued villages and other small-town settlements worldwide. 

Specifically, we learned that in Qianyang village, the population has decreased so significantly from around 600 people several decades ago that now there are 

only 40 people left. This drastic population shrinkage, is a global phenomenon.

尽管如此，我们一致认为，最好的办法就是在传统村落生活方式永远消失之前将其记录下来。我们计划将录制的所有照片和视频汇集起来，上传到 BiliBili 和 TikTok（抖音）上，让全世界的人都能欣赏到这种乡村生活方式，了解小城镇人口减少这一全球性问题的严重性。我们希望，通过这样的活动，能有一些人被这一问题所感动，从而开始保护这些村庄的行动，比如把一些村庄改建成博物馆，或者向政府请愿，发起资助活动，吸引城市里的国家人才到这些村庄工作。

Nonetheless, we unanimously agreed that the best course of action we could undertake was to record and document all this traditional village lifestyle before it is forever gone. By compiling all our recorded photos and videos, we plan to upload them on BiliBili and TikTok Tiktok for the rest of the world to appreciate the village lifestyle and see how concerning the global issue 

of population decline in small-town settlements is. Through this, we hope that there would be people so moved by this problem that they would start a moment to protect these villages, such as converting some villages into museums or petitioning the government to start funding campaigns to attract national talent from cities into these villages.

晚间“劳作”

白天，同学们被乡间迷人的风景深深吸引，陶醉于那份宁静与恬淡，同时，他们用心体验着那里淳朴而真挚的民风。夜幕降临，这些珍贵的记忆与感触在他们心中涌动，他们纷纷拿起画笔，以绘画的方式，细腻而真挚地描绘出白天那些触动心灵的瞬间。

Evening “work”

During the daytime, students were deeply attracted by the charming scenery in the countryside, intoxicated by the tranquility and serenity, and at t

he same time, they experienced the simple and sincere folk customs there with all their hearts. As night fell, these precious memories and feelings surged in their hearts, and they picked up their 

brushes to paint, delicately and sincerely depicting the moments that touched their hearts during the day.

第一站 聆听潘教授讲农村现状

前洋村的文化底蕴无疑是深厚的，但目前遇到的困境也是真实的。同学们带着昨天下午和村民交流的思考与疑惑，希望能在今早的讲座中找到答案。西南大学乡村振兴战略研究院副院长潘家恩教授研究中国三农问题已有多年，他通过举例向大家说明了保护中国农村的重要性。“中国这么多年在一个个危机中坚持下来的，靠的就是广袤的农村的缓冲。农村就像是蓄水湖，像是湿地，平时看不出它有啥用，甚至还有点儿又土又脏。但是经济危机来的时候，农村就给了我们面对经济风险的底气。”领队老师CAS协调员Ms Lily听到这里，无限感慨。她鼓励同学们说：“大家愿意选择农村文化探索这个项目，长途跋涉来到前洋村，了解这里的生存现状，这就是对农村经济文化的一种支持，希望通过这次实践活动能加深你们的印象，将来可以向更多人宣传保护农村的重要性，这就是你们的贡献。”

Stop 1: Listening to Prof. Pan talk about the current situation in the countryside

The cultural heritage of Qianyang Village is undoubtedly deep, but the dilemmas it currently encounters are also real. The students brought with them the thoughts and doubts they had exchanged with the villagers yesterday afternoon, hoping to find the answers in this morning's lecture. Professor Pan Jia'en, vice director of the Institute of Rural Revitalization Strategy at Southwest University, who has been studying China's three rural issues for many years, explained the importance of protecting China's countryside by giving examples. "What has kept China going through one crisis after another for so many years is the buffer of the vast 

countryside. The countryside is like a water storage lake, like a wetland, usually you can't see what it's for, and it's even a bit earthy and dirty. But when the economic crisis comes, the countryside will give us the strength to face the economic risk.Ms. Lily, CAS Coordinator, also the leading teacher, was infinitely moved when she heard this, and she encouraged the students by saying, "You are willing to choose the project of rural culture exploration, and travel a long way to Qianyang Village to understand the current situation of survival here, which is a kind of support for the rural economy and culture, and I hope that this 

practical activity will deepen your impression, so that in the future, you can publicize the protection of the rural areas to more people, and this is your contribution."

第二站：雨中采集植物标本

细雨绵绵，微风习习。在当地向导的指引下，同学们勇敢地踏上了调研当地中药和特色植物的征程。山路崎岖而湿滑，但对于中药和植物采集的热情已经让他们暂时忘记了脚下的困难。雨水打湿了山林，却也使得植物们展现出别样的生机。学生们仔细观察着每一株植物，记录下它们的形态特征和生长环境。他们时而驻足欣赏，时而低头记录，每一刻都充满了对大自然的敬畏和好奇。

Stop 2：Collecting plant specimens in the rain

The rain was drizzling and the breeze was pleasant. Under the guidance of the local guide, the students bravely set out on the journey to research local traditional Chinese medicine and special plants. The path was rough and slippery, but the collection of traditional Chinese orest, 

medicine and plants made them forget about the road for a while. The rain dampened the forest but also made the plants show a different kind of vitality. The students observed each plant, taking notes on its morphological features and growing environment. They stopped to admire the plants and looked down to take notes,

each moment filled with awe and curiosity for nature.

晚间“劳作”

在宁静的夜晚，厨房内灯火通明，一股温馨的香气弥漫开来。同学们精心准备了三道家常菜：色泽鲜艳的炒土豆丝、口感绵软的烧茄子，以及清爽可口的拍黄瓜。而在这忙碌而有序的烹饪过程中，复旦附中党委书记郭娟老师和复旦附中副校长、国际部主任李峻老师凭借丰富的烹饪经验，细心地在旁边指导着。在她们的指导下，同学们不仅厨艺有进步，而且感受到了家的温暖和团队的力量。大家也与郭书记和李老师共进了晚餐，场面其乐融融。

Evening “work”

On a quiet night, the kitchen was brightly lit and a cozy aroma filled the air. The students had prepared three home-cooked dishes: colorful fried shredded potatoes, soft roasted eggplant, and refreshing cucumber. During the busy and orderly cooking process, Guo Juan, Secretary of the Party Committee of High School Affiliated 

to Fudan University, and Li Jun, Deputy Director of High School Affiliated to Fudan University and Director of Fudan International School, with their rich cooking experience, carefully guided the students. Under their guidance, the students not only improved their cooking skills but also felt the warmth of home and the strength of the team.

晚饭过后，同学们继续作画，为了能明天在点评环节拿出自己的满意作品，大家一直忙碌到半夜12点多。

After dinner, the students continued to paint, to come up with their satisfactory works for 

the critique session tomorrow, they were busy until after midnight.

画作点评

第三天一早，同学们满怀期待地展示了自己精心创作的作品，并恭敬地递交给张教授进行点评。张教授以其深厚的心理学造诣，巧妙地运用同学们的画作作为窗口，洞察了每个人的性格特质。他逐一解读，言辞精准而富有洞见，让在场的每个人都深感敬佩。大家未曾料到，自己的作品竟能透露出如此丰富的个人信息，这让他们对张教授的独到见解赞叹不已，同时也对绘画与心理学之间的奇妙联系感到无比有趣和好奇。

Painting Review

Early in the morning of the third day, the students showed their carefully created works with great anticipation and respectfully submitted them to Prof. Zhang for review. With his profound psychological attainments, Prof. Zhang skillfully used the students' drawings as a window into each person's personality traits.He interpreted them 

one by one, and his words were precise and insightful, which made everyone in the audience deeply admired. They had never expected that their own works could reveal such a wealth of personal information, which made them marvel at Prof. Zhang's unique insights, and at the same time, they were also amused and fascinated 

by the marvelous connection between painting and psychology.

周边文化之旅

前洋的周边，蕴藏着丰富的历史文化底蕴。踏上这片土地，仿佛穿越了时空的隧道，置身于一幅生动的历史画卷之中。

Cultural Tours

The surroundings of Qianyang is rich in history and culture. Stepping on this land, it is as if you have 

traveled through the tunnel of time and space, and are in the midst of a vivid historical picture.

首先映入眼帘的是古老的棠口镇的千乘桥，这座桥梁见证了岁月的沧桑与变迁。其独特的建筑风格和精湛的工艺技术，让人不禁为古人的智慧和创造力所折服。桥身历经风雨，却依旧坚固如初，仿佛在低语着过去的故事。

The first thing that catches your eye is the ancient Qiancheng Bridge located in Tangkou Town, which has witnessed vicissitudes and changes over the years. Its 

unique architectural style and exquisite craftsmanship make people not help but be impressed by the wisdom and creativity of the ancients. The body of the bridge 

has weathered the storms, but it is still as strong as ever as if whispering the stories of the past.

接着，大家驱车前往北墘村的手工黄酒作坊。这里弥漫着浓郁的酒香，让人陶醉。作坊内的酿酒师傅们手法娴熟，他们传承着古老的酿酒技艺，将每一滴黄酒都酿制得醇厚而美味。品尝一口手工黄酒，仿佛能够感受到这片土地的热情与魅力。

Then, they took the bus to the handmade yellow wine workshop in Beiqian Village. The rich aroma of the wine is intoxicating. The master brewers in the workshop are skillful 

in their craft, passing down the ancient brewing techniques and making every drop of yellow wine mellow and delicious. When you take a sip of the handmade yellow 

wine, it is as if you can feel the warmth and charm of this land.

不知不觉，前洋的文化探索之旅就要接近尾声了。同学们不仅领略了张氏宗祠的家族文化、陶瓷博物馆的精湛技艺，还通过采风绘画、听讲座、采集植物等活动，深入感受了前洋的文化底蕴。自己做饭、教授点评画作等经历，更让他们收获了成长与感悟。这段旅程将成为他们人生中宝贵的财富，激励着他们不断前行，探索更广阔的世界。

Without realizing it, the cultural exploration trip to Qianyang is coming to an end. The students not only enjoyed the family culture of the Zhang Ancestral Hall and the exquisite skills of the Ceramic Museum, but also deeply felt the cultural heritage of

Qianyang through activities such as picking up paintings, listening to lectures and collecting plants. Experiences such as cooking their own meals and professors critiquing their paintings have further rewarded them with growth and enlightenment.  

This journey will become a valuable treasure in their lives, inspiring them to keep moving forward and explore the wider world.
