“2019 Latvian Chen-style Taijiquan Overseas Training Class ” Symposium was Held Successfully

2020年1月20日,拉脱维亚大学孔子学院与“2019年拉脱维亚陈氏太极拳海外培训班”举行了座谈交流会,中国驻拉脱维亚使馆经商参赞沈晓凯、“2019年拉脱维亚陈氏太极拳海外培训班”陈海军教练及翻译、拉脱维亚大学孔子学院中方院长尚劝余教授及拉方院长贝德高教授和孔院老师们参与了此次交流会。

交流会上,孔子学院中外方院长向陈海军教练介绍了拉脱维亚孔子学院的历史,陈海军教练也向众人介绍了陈式太极拳的发源及其发展史和太极拳中蕴含的丰富的中国哲学。沈晓凯参赞提出,拉脱维亚学习汉语的人很多,学习太极拳的人也很多,但两者的交集却并不多。对此,拉脱维亚大学孔子学院两位院长和陈海军教练都表示希望有机会可以把汉语教学与太极拳教学二者相结合,发展专门的太极拳汉语教学,让语言与文化互通。

此外,陈教练现场表演了一段陈氏太极拳,并演示了“四两拨千斤”的手法,借力化力,让现场众人都直接感受到了太极拳的魅力,此次交流会在友好和谐的氛围中圆满结束。

On January 20, 2020,the Confucius Institute at the University of Latvia held a symposium with the “2019 Latvian Chen-style Taijiquan Overseas Training Class ”. Business Counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in Latvia Shen Xiaokai, coach of “2019 Latvian Chen-style Taijiquan Overseas Training Class” Chen Haijun, and the translator, the Chinese Director of the Confucius Institute at the University of Latvia, Professor Shang Quanyu , Latvian Director, Professor Pēteris Pildegovičs, and the volunteer teachers of Confucius Institute at the University of Latvia participated in the symposium.

At the symposium, the two directors of the Confucius Institute introduced the history of the Confucius Institute at the University of Latvia to Coach Chen Haijun. Coach Chen Haijun also introduced to everyone the origin and development history of Chen-style Taijiquan and he also talked about the rich Chinese philosophy contained in Taijiquan. Counselor Shen Xiaokai pointed out that there are many people learning Chinese and many people learning Taijiquan in Latvia, but the intersection of the two is not much. In this regard, the two directors of the Confucius Institute at the University of Latvia and Coach Chen Haijun both expressed the hope that there would be an opportunity to combine Chinese language teaching with Taijiquan teaching and develop specialized Taijiquan Chinese language teaching, to allow language and culture to communicate.

In addition, Coach Chen performed a section of Chen-style Taijiquan live, and demonstrated the “little power push the weighty stuff” by the method of converting the other people’s force into his own. Everyone there directly felt the charm of Taijiquan. The symposium ended in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere.
