A Celestial Affair – CCS@SUSS Celebrates 7th Mid-Autumn 2018中秋奔跃

What better way to get by a cosy Saturday evening than to indulge in your favourite mooncakes while graciously sipping Chinese tea and trying your hand at traditional Chinese crafts? Over 230 SUSS students, staff, alumni, and their friends and family joined us at our annual SUSS Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration on 15 September 2018, organised by the Centre for Chinese Studies (CCS)@SUSS.

Mid-Autumn festival is all about gathering with our loved ones under the full moon which is believed to be the brightest during this time. Back by popular demand, participants of all ages, especially little children, had fun crafting their personalised masterpieces at our DIY snowskin mooncake-making workshop. Apart from mooncakes, participants were also eager to customise their own Chinese painted fan. These were some of the most popular activities of the night.

Guests also had a chance at trying out Chinese calligraphic-writing with their left hands, as well as traditional Chinese paper-cutting, kindly sponsored by SUSS Alumni Relations. 

A Chinese festival celebration cannot be considered complete without vibrant performances to liven the mood. As part of our continued efforts to support pre-tertiary students in Singapore, CCS invited Fuchun Secondary’s Festive Drums and Lion Dance Troupe to put up an exciting opening performance. This was followed by a lovely recital and dance by adorable young boys and girls aged 2 to 6 years from Newcastle Enrichment Centre. 

The traditional lantern riddle games brought the evening to a resounding close, where many eager participants walked away with attractive prizes.


2018中秋奔跃

一年一度的“中秋奔跃”活动今年已迈入第七个年头!和往年一样,约230名新跃社科大学学生、教职员、校友以及他们的家属好友们于2018年9月15日聚集一堂,与新跃中华学术中心一同欢庆佳节。

花好月圆人团圆,中秋佳节自是趁月圆之夜与亲人好友一同欢聚的好日子。今年的活动我们依旧安排了往年最受欢迎的活动之一冰皮月饼工作坊,让大家能够亲手制作月饼。这项活动尤其深受小朋友和家长的欢迎。除了冰皮月饼,现场的嘉宾也积极参与中国扇子画制作。这两项亲子活动在培养孩子认识传统文化的同时,更促进亲子关系,让全家大小其乐融融带出团圆之意!

主办单位也请来国际左手书法研究会给大家介绍左手书法,让大家有机会尝试用左手写字。另外,中心也要特别感谢新跃社科大学校友会为本次活动赞助传统剪纸艺术工作坊。

当然,任何一个华人传统节庆活动都少不了丰富多彩的表演来增添佳节气氛!今年中心请来福春中学的舞狮节令鼓团为我们带来振奋人心的开场表演。另外还请到纽卡斯尔语文学校的小朋友们为我们带来轻松可爱的《弟子规》朗诵与螳螂拳舞蹈表演。

2018中秋奔跃晚会在压轴节目猜灯谜之后圆满落幕。我们明年再见!
