Armenian culture showcased at a leading university in China

On March 13th of the current year, Armenian students from a prominent university in the People’s Republic of China, Nanjing University, participated in an annual international cultural event. The event was held to promote cross-cultural exchange, build bridges between different nations, and foster a multicultural and healthy environment.
The Armenian booth was adorned with Armenian handicrafts, a pomegranate tree symbolizing family, eternity, and a strong connection with the homeland, Armenian cognac, and the Armenian alphabet, which dates back to 405 CE. The Armenian girls wore exclusive t-shirts featuring a depiction of a traditional Armenian girl. The girls also showcased Armenian national costumes and gowns, allowing Chinese visitors to experience Armenian culture firsthand. The visitors were able to try on traditional Armenian headgear and take pictures, making the experience interactive and engaging.
The highlight of the event was the performances by foreign students, including the Armenian folk group dance, “Tsaghkadzori,” which captivated the audience. The Armenian handicrafts, dance, and music, as well as the national outfit, piqued the interest of the visitors.
It is noteworthy that Nanjing University, established in 1902, is one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher learning in China. It is considered one of the most competitive universities in China and is highly sought-after by foreign students.
