Over ten Chinese and international students from Iran, Ethiopia, Russia and other countries come to visit the Ningbo Baoguosi Museum of Ancient Architectures in Ningbo City, east China’s Zhejiang Province, Aug. 2, 2022. Guided by staff members, the students take a lift to have a close look at the caisson ceiling, which is structured with eight interlocking wooden brackets and decorated with carving or painting, at the Main Hall of the Baoguo Temple built back in the Song dynasty. Through immersive sightseeing experience, the students dive deep into the mesmerizing charm of ancient Chinese architecture. Later, they also learn to make crafts with traditional Sunmao structure, which gives them further insights into traditional Chinese culture.

In recent years, the Museum has opened up a series of programs to help the younger generation learn more about traditional architecture. In order to create better experience for students, the museum sets courses in all seasons with diverse teaching contents such as making wooden stools, wood-shaved lanterns, Kongming Lock, etc., all of them based on the traditional Sunmao structure. Such hands-on experiences allow students to explore the beauty of wooden architecture whilst showing them the spirit of craftsmanship.
