行吟齐鲁大地，弘扬儒道之风 ——清华附中国际部六年级学生赴山东开展中国文化探索与实践活动

若是可以，若是有时间，不妨多走走，多看看，实践方能感悟，感悟方能做到，或许你会遇到从未遇到的，或许你会发现从未发现的美。

——题记

四月，风是温柔的，阳光是刚好的，细雨洒在花前，这样的美好时光，怎能辜负？2019年4月15日至4月18日，清华附中国际部组织六年级的孩子踏上了一年一次的“圣人故里 神秀东岳”的中国文化探索与实践之旅。本次活动由中文组武慧君老师、唐玲珑老师、科学老师 Nolan Hansen、英语老师Victoria Wong带队。千山千水千才子，一山一水一圣人。山东既有风光优美的山川海洋，又有闻名中外的古老文化，还有独具特色的民俗民情。在这“最美不过人间四月天”的迷人季节里，孩子们感受到了一份与众不同的美。

From the happy smiling faces of the students, we can see that they were deeply affected by the unique charm of traditional Chinese folk art.

第二天

四月的泰山，有一种别样的美。当我们带着孩子一起攀爬泰山，去探寻，去发现，去思考时，历史仿佛又“活”了过来。一起看“会当凌绝顶，一览众山小。”一起听“一杯酒，问何似，身后名？人间万事，毫发常重泰山轻。”一起叹“登东山而小鲁，登泰山而小天下”。一起盼“万古齐州烟九点，五更沧海日上竿。”翻开这部底蕴厚重的大书，一路上，孩子们结对攀爬泰山，他们互相鼓励，互相帮助，爬山过程中，了解泰山在中国文化中的独特地位；探究了古代帝王封禅的奥秘；观摩了历代帝王、文化名士留下的碑碣、石刻；一睹大家之手的书法风采；品读了关于泰山的诗歌、游记；倾听了文人骚客背后的故事。孩子们在体验泰山文化魅力的同时，还诵读了杜甫的《望岳》并进行了“我自立 我自强 泰山见证我成长”的泰山极顶中国文化签名活动。

Mount Tai in April has a different kind of beauty. When students went to climb Mount Tai, to explore, to discover, to think; history seemed to come alive.
