The recently concluded first-ever Spring Festival listed as an "Intangible Cultural Heritage" allowed the world to once again experience the charm of Chinese traditional culture. Recently, faculty and students from South China Normal University visited Paris, France, where they held two Chinese New Year concerts, offering the local audience a splendid cultural feast that blended both Chinese and Western traditions.

Yann Dubosc, the Mayor of Bussy, France, expressed special gratitude to the artists from China, stating, "This is a cultural exchange that transcends borders, bringing traditional Chinese art to Bussy and enriching the spiritual life of our community." Dubosc also mentioned that the Chinese community has become an indispensable part of Bussy, "In our city, 25% of the residents are Chinese. This not only injects vitality into our economy but, more importantly, adds profound cultural depth to our city. We aim to become a multicultural city, and the Chinese concert is a perfect example of achieving this objective."

At the concert, Huang Xiying and her apprentice Chen Junyan performed Poulenc's Sonata FP.8 together. The 10-year-old Huang Ziyun captivated the audience with the unique charm of Chinese opera, delivering a beautiful rendition of the classic piece "Ode to The Pear Flowers". This Peking opera depicts the poetic beauty of pear blossoms. The traditional Chinese operatic singing style, combined with the stunning performance, brought a delightful and surprising experience to the local French audience.

"As a multicultural city, the Spring Festival activities have long become an important tradition in Bussy. This year's Chinese-French gala not only enriched the festive atmosphere but also strengthened the connections between different communities within the city," said Liu Baijun, the Director of the Department of Culture and International Relations of the Bussy City Government.

助力中法文化交流，华南师大师生走进法国巴黎

刚刚过去的首个“非遗版”春节让世界又一次感受到了中华优秀传统文化的魅力。近日，华南师大师生走进法国巴黎，先后举办了两场新春音乐会，为当地观众带来了一场精彩纷呈的中西文化盛宴。

法国碧西市市长杜波斯科特别感谢来自中国的艺术家，“这是一场跨越国界的文化交流，将中国传统艺术带到了我们碧西市，丰富了城市的精神生活。”杜波斯科提到，华人已成为碧西市不可或缺的一部分：“我们碧西市有25%的居民是华裔，这不仅为我们的经济注入了活力，更重要的是给城市带来了深厚的文化内涵。我们的目标是打造一个多元文化并存的城市，而中国音乐会是实现这一目标的典范。”

在音乐会现场，黄晞莹与她的弟子陈俊言联袂演奏了普朗克的《奏鸣曲》FP.8。年仅10岁的黄子蕴为观众带来了中国戏曲的独特韵味，她以柔美婉转的嗓音演绎了经典作品《梨花颂》，这首京剧戏歌描绘了梨花盛开的美丽诗意，传统的中国戏剧唱腔结合惊艳的戏曲表演，给法国当地观众眼前一亮的惊喜。

“作为一个多元化城市，春节活动早已成为碧西市的重要传统。今年的中法结合晚会，不仅丰富了节日氛围，还增进了城市内不同社群的联系。”碧西市政府文化与国际关系部主管刘柏君表示。
