On 4th November, a group of principals from Finland, Germany and Britain went to Nantong Tianjiabing High School to visit intangible cultural heritage projects and experience the academic and extracurricular culture of the Nantong school.

At the library of the Tianjiabing High School, while the foreign principals watched the performance of the intangible cultural heritage Bian lian, they couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of Chinese culture, and invited by the actors, they even touched the patterns on the actors' faces.

At the Rugao rod puppet show performance area, Anna Rausch, from the Halle Waldorf School in Germany, took a puppet from the performer with great interest and waved it in the air. ‘It is a great experience,’ Anna Rausch said.

In addition to Bian lian and Rugao rod puppet show, the intangible cultural heritage projects visited this time also included Siyi pastries, Hanfu (traditional Han clothing), paper-cutting, and sugar figurines.

在如皋杖头木偶戏展演区，来自德国哈雷·华德福学校的劳施·安娜饶有兴趣地从表演者手中接过木偶，在空中挥舞。“这是一次很好的体验。”劳施·安娜说。

本次参观的非遗项目除变脸、如皋杖头木偶戏外，还有四宜糕点、汉服、剪纸、糖人等。
