　　Onthe morningof July 2, 2024, the Publicity Department of Yangxin County Party Committeeplanned a specialactivity held in Shuiluopo Town, Yangxin County. Ms. Vicky from Portugal was invited to this activity, aiming to allow her to personally experience and deeply understand China’s rich folk culture and feel the unique charm of Chinese culture.

　　Ms. Vicky first visited the Made in Shandong-Binzhou Boutique Experience Center, which seemed to be a miniature folk art museum, and each exhibit exuded a strong cultural connotation and craftsman spirit. Colorful woodcut new year paintings made Ms. Vicky stop with their unique artistic style and exquisite skills. She looked carefully at each painting, and her eyes flashed with amazement and love. The pear vinegar she tasted afterwards was praised for its unique taste and flavor, and she nodded repeatedly.

　　When entering the paper-cutting exhibition area, Ms. Vicky was deeply attracted by the scene in front of her. The delicate and lifelike paper-cutting works were more vivid and beautiful under the illumination of the light. When she learned that these exquisite works of art could be created with just a pair of scissors, she couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and express her heartfelt admiration for the superb skills of Chinese folk artists. She gently touched the edge of the paper-cutting works and felt the temperature and inheritance from her fingertips.

　　Later, Director Li Xinrui led Ms. Vicky to stroll through the Yangxin Folk Culture Industrial Park, which gathered a great many of traditional folk cultural products.Classical furniture exuded calm atmosphere, while exquisite carving showed craftsmen’s ultimate pursuit of beauty. Ms. Vicky showed strong interests in these story-filled objects. She stopped from time to time to carefully savor the cultural connotation behind each work. Especially when she saw those small retro picture books, she couldn’t put them down and read them again and again, as if each page was carrying a touching story.

　　This activity not only made Ms.Vicky deeply feel the profoundness and unique charm of Chinesefolk culture, but also built a bridge for cultural exchange between China and Portugal.In the midst of the laughter, both sides have enhanced the friendship and looked forward to more such opportunities in the future to promote exchanges and integration between different culture.
