This event centered on the core exhibition area of “A Century of China: A View from Tianjin,” integrating bilingual commentary, historical research and learning, and intangible cultural heritage workshops. It enabled students to delve deeper into local history as they reflected on Tianjin’s century of transformation, convey the city’s cultural heritage through bilingual expression, and experience the charm of traditional intangible cultural heritage through hands-on activities—all of which led to a unique journey of growth and transformation.

In the core exhibition area of “A Century of China: A View from Tianjin,” the students visited the two themed exhibition halls—“Economic Center” and “Where East Meets West”—to systematically trace the development and changes of Tianjin over the past century. A bilingual tour was led by our school’s teacher, Angel, and student Gloria Meng, who had successfully completed the Tianjin Museum’s junior docent training program. Working in perfect harmony, the teacher and student guided the group on an immersive exploration of Tianjin’s century-long development.

Through the museum’s collection of historical photographs, artefacts and scale models, the students gained an in-depth understanding of Tianjin’s rise as a major industrial, commercial and port centre in northern China, and became familiar with numerous pioneering achievements in the fields of the modern Westernisation movement, transport, telegraph and postal services, and finance. Historic sites such as ‘Tianjin’s Wall Street’ on Beilü Road and the Wan Guo Bridge vividly illustrate the commercial prosperity of Tianjin in modern times, allowing everyone to gain a profound appreciation of the pioneering spirit and enterprising drive of the city’s industrial forebears.

In the cultural exhibition area, the students gained an in-depth understanding of Tianjin’s unique character as a city where East meets West. From the Beiyang Western Studies Academy, which pioneered modern education, and Yan Xiu and Zhang Boling, who established the Nankai educational system, to cultural luminaries such as Liang Qichao and Li Shutong, who made significant contributions to Tianjin and disseminated new ideas, and on to the voice of *The Ta Kung Pao* and the flourishing development of traditional performing arts and Peking Opera, the students gained a comprehensive understanding of the trajectory of Tianjin’s modern cultural and educational development. The integration of Western-style architecture and new lifestyles following the opening of the port further highlights Tianjin’s inclusive, open and diverse urban character.

The bilingual commentary throughout the tour struck a balance between historical depth and an international perspective, with the Chinese portion bringing the historical context to life whilst the English portion enhanced the programme’s international outreach. Through this immersive learning experience, which alternated between the two languages, the students honed their language skills, learnt to interpret local cultural contexts from an international perspective and to tell the stories of Tianjin, thereby achieving a harmonious integration of knowledge and practice in their educational journey.

Leaving the weight of history behind, the educational workshop moved on to a highly engaging hands-on session exploring intangible cultural heritage. Under the expert guidance of instructors from the Tianjin Museum, all the pupils took part in making Song Brocade gourd ornaments, immersing themselves in the unique charm of traditional weaving techniques and passing on China’s intangible cultural heritage through the craftsmanship of their own hands.

Song Brocade is a treasure of traditional Chinese silk weaving, renowned for its exquisite patterns and profound symbolism. During the event, the museum’s instructors provided a detailed explanation of the historical origins and craftsmanship of Song Brocade, and demonstrated the complete process of making a Song Brocade gourd ornament. The students listened attentively, observed carefully and threw themselves wholeheartedly into the craft, patiently cutting out the patterns, refining the contours and assembling the ornament, striving for perfection at every stage of the process.

One by one, exquisite Song Brocade gourd ornaments took shape. Through hands-on practice, the students experienced the intricacy of traditional weaving techniques and came to understand the profound meaning of ‘artisan dedication’. The practical workshop not only honed their patience and manual skills, but also allowed them to truly appreciate Tianjin’s unique character—a blend of traditional heritage and modern openness—transforming intangible cultural heritage from textbook knowledge into a tangible, experiential legacy.

Towards the end of the study tour, the students embarked on a special journey to trace the origins of cultural relics, getting a close-up look at one of the Tianjin Museum’s most significant treasures—the Western Zhou Taibao Ding. This national treasure is among the first batch of cultural artefacts prohibited from being exhibited abroad; it is the sole surviving piece of the ‘Liangshan Seven Vessels’ in China, and served as the inspiration for the Tianjin Museum’s logo. It possesses immense cultural value and holds a unique status. The ding’s distinctive circular disc-shaped foot and the inscription ‘Da Bao Zhu’ on its inner wall embody the Western Zhou civilisation’s rituals and music, as well as exquisite bronze craftsmanship, bearing the imprint of three thousand years of Chinese civilisation.

The students paused in front of the display cases, carefully examining the textures and intricate details of the artefacts, and marvelling at the superb craftsmanship of the ancient artisans. To breathe new life into these millennia-old artefacts and put cultural innovation into practice, our school’s staff and students undertook a bespoke cultural and creative project: using hand-drawn sketches based on high-resolution images of the artefacts, and employing heat-shrink film as the material, they followed a series of meticulous processes—including outlining with coloured pencils, colouring with felt-tip pens, shaping with a heat gun, and reinforcing with UV glue—to handcraft a translucent and exquisite three-dimensional model of the Liuli Taibao Ding.

The museum’s crown jewel alongside youth-oriented cultural and creative products

Millennia-old bronze national treasures and original cultural and creative works by young people are brought together across time and space; the fusion and interplay of traditional heritage and contemporary creativity breathe new life into these static artefacts. This dialogue across time and space has enabled the students to gain a profound understanding that cultural heritage is not merely about viewing and tracing its origins, but also about innovating and carrying it forward. Through their youthful creativity, Farah students are revitalising classics and continuing the cultural legacy, ensuring that the millennia-old Chinese civilisation endures for generations to come.

This bilingual intangible cultural heritage study tour organised by the Tianjin Museum was an immersive, hands-on learning experience. The students ventured beyond the school grounds to trace the city’s transformation over the past century; they honed their skills through bilingual practice, gained an appreciation for intangible cultural heritage through hands-on craft activities, and strengthened their cultural confidence through engagement with cultural artefacts.

From gaining an understanding of Tianjin City’s century-long history of industrial development and the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, to appreciating the beauty of craftsmanship in intangible cultural heritage; from telling local stories through bilingual narratives to young students carrying forward a cultural legacy spanning millennia, the entire event was packed with valuable insights and proved highly rewarding. The pioneering spirit, inclusive ethos and cultural literacy cultivated through this study tour will serve as a solid foundation for the students’ personal growth. In the future, our school will continue to develop our ‘walking classroom’ programme, using bilingualism to enhance cultural dissemination and practical experience to support the preservation of cultural heritage. We aim to enable Farah students to broaden their international horizons and deepen their sense of national identity, so that they may use the vigour of their youth to write a new chapter in cultural heritage.
