Over 20 groups of children from the schools in Qingxing district have participated in the exhibition with about 100 pieces of work, including paper cutting, painting, sculpture, hand-made devices, long scroll hand-painting and other art expressions, demonstrating the unique culture and custom of Ningxia.
The exhibition contained three main parts: “Helan Mountain”, “people living along the Yellow River” and “live long and proper”, which illustrated the different aspects of life in Ningxia.
“Helan Mountain” expressed children’s respect for the gifts bestowed by the mountain. Through this performance, they showed their understanding of the local customs, traditional culture and appreciation for nature.
