2019一帶一路國際教育旅行心得分享 9F陳泰河


在絲綢之路上,我感受到它乘載數千年來的文化,從古至今開啟了未知,西往東來,造就了族群相遇,形塑文明。在這趟旅程中,我吸收很多,感受也很多,不管是眾所皆知的兵馬俑,還是那壯闊的莫高窟都深印在我心中,最讓我印象深刻的是那寬闊且附有歷史性的天地一雄關一嘉峪關。


在那裡我感受到了在數百年前國內與國外一城的阻隔,那個城牆非常的巨大、壯觀。嘉峪關裡面有許多戰爭上會用到的東西像是砲車。在這裡讓我想到臺南的安平古堡,但有比安平古堡再大一些也更有歷史,在世界上的知名度也較高。從中我也看到了各式各樣的路,看到當時的人是用什麼路線打仗的。

一帶一路在經濟上做了許多的對策。交通上,打通了缺失的路段,電路和輸電通島建設。貿易方面,加快「單一視窗」降低通關成本並提升能力,拓展投資領域,促進貿易平衡。資金融通方面,與邊境國家本幣互換,建設銀行。在教育方面中國每年提供一萬個政府獎學金名額。其餘的還有聯合申請世界文化遺產,提高簽證便利性。

一帶一路在地理上看可以看出它貫串了整個歐亞非大陸絲綢之路經濟帶也通過了中亞、俄羅斯至歐洲,西亞至波斯灣、地中河等。這可以很明顯的看出來這一帶一路幫助了中國在西南部更加穩定,促進了能源的安全。也增加了在歐亞心臟地帶的影響力。
在文化方面中國將造紙印刷術傳至西方。宗教的部分則是促進東西方互相交流,但不只有傳入中國,朝鮮半島、日本和其他的亞洲國家也受到影響。這些宗教包含了佛教、拜火教、摩尼教和景教。

2019國際教育旅行心得分享 9C陳宣陵


走過十三朝古都西安,科技新鎮蘭州,天下第一熊觀嘉峪關,沙漠綠洲敦煌等地區後,雖然狀況已與過往不盡相同,但我仍然能感受到古時絲路的輝煌及現在一帶一路的重要性。我認為,絲綢之路上的各種文化­­既是對文化的衝擊,也是不同異國元素的融合。這樣的交流可以被看成一種衝擊是因為各地都出現了不同的文化,而又有相異的發展情況。例如,中國境內新出現的希臘文化、伊斯蘭文化、印度文化等都存有遺跡,而中國文化也隨著栗特人及阿拉伯人的腳步流傳到歐洲及西亞地區。在新文化進入之際,人們的思想更容易有衝突,因而使其地域受到影響而變得混亂。從印度傳進的佛教與中國的儒道思想的對立就是一個典型的例子。

然而,此種交流也可被視為是融合,因為相異文化也能結合形成新元素,對社會造成影響,並流傳至今。莫高窟裡帶有伊斯蘭色彩的壁畫部分,以及壁畫上的印度濕婆神,出現在眾多中國文化代表的繪畫藝術旁,無疑是文化上的融合。同時,前面提到的佛教與儒道教思想的融合,可以從嘉峪關的戲堂上看到。八仙與佛教繪畫一同出現在該戲台上,就展現了明朝對外來文化的包容力。最後,在回民街上,許多中式美食,被伊斯蘭文化加以改造後成為清真美食。

總而言之,這樣的文化從古至今都衝擊著各地,但又不斷融合。這造就了現今中國的發展,成為永不會被抹滅的一個重要關鍵。


2019國際教育旅行心得分享 9A陳喬君


到了西安,嘉裕關、敦煌和蘭州,沿著絲路了解到各種各樣的文化與歷史,我深刻的感悟到絲綢之路融合東西方文化之重要性。如果這充滿歷史的路段從沒建立,那當今許多城市在經濟方面會較落後;東西方的族群相遇與溝通機會在古代也會因此變少。


在這十二天的路上,使我印象深刻的不僅是跟朋友一起創出的珍貴回憶,也是在這路所見到的神聖古蹟和有趣表演。其中的再見敦煌讓我對演出產生了新的定義,一個成功的表演不僅僅要看演員的技術,也要看從中所表達的情緒、故事,用不同舞台效果來表現。

走這條古來的路前,在我腦海中,絲綢之路只是一個為自己國家宣傳的噱頭,吸引觀光者的目光。但當我真正看了在這條路所存在的歷史時,絲綢之路的各國之是改變了我的視野。每個國家都貢獻出他們的優勢在絲路中,並且成為不能被忽略的交易地點。像每個大規模的創作,絲路不是一夜間所成立的;它的由來於發展持續了上千年,甚至當今也在擴張。在這十二天當中,我經歷了喜怒哀樂,可真正使我震撼的依然是那豐富的古老絲綢之路。

絲路的發展擴刮了世界的合作且促進六十幾個國家的經濟狀況,學習絲路之前,我個人認為絲路最終只帶給了中國最大的優勢;可現在,發現參與絲路的各國都貢獻出對貿易有益的影響,並透過〝很多文化交流〞而融合了東西方的文化,也出現更頻繁的文化混血現象。

雖然絲路是由中國開始的,但香港珠海學院一帶一路研究所長陳文鴻詳細的分析了絲路如何「橫跨歐亞交流程網路化」。絲路不僅推動各國敵人,他也變成一種讓各個政府漸漸發揮自我能力的貿易,也使這些國家從文化交流而變得更現代化。在這數幾年的發展,可以看出絲路是個大規模的改變,但實際上,真的每個國家都對絲路擁有著好的印象嗎?
美國也是一個精機發達的國家,用貶抑的眼神看著絲路。在美國的眼中,中國所開發的絲路會造成美國不便;因為絲路在西方只發展到歐洲地區,不包括美國,所以每一個絲路帶來的經濟發展都會帶給美國GDP上貶抑影響。可因為作者來自於香港,一個包含在絲路當中的城市,所以本文章並沒有詳細的說明為何美國政府會有此思想而當初沒有加入絲路;文章重點放在中國與它得到的益,也描寫其他國家所得來的影響。
所以這篇文章真的有全方面的描述到絲路嗎?從作者的觀點來看,絲路散發著正能量,「重視多元發展,不只給一個國家帶來全方面的發展,而是促進了全世界的文藝復興」。從這句話當中,讀者們可以看出作者對絲路的偏見,而沒有全方面的討論到絲路對絲路國家的不益,既使在一些本來較發達的國家當中,絲路能提高它們的經濟,但在較貧窮的國家當中呢?作者陳文鴻在這一方面可以討論的更周全,讓讀者們能從絲路的好和壞來做出對絲路的最終判斷。

2019一帶一路國際教育旅行心得分享 9G楊迦童



騎乘著沙漠之舟去感受有著千年文化及深厚底蘊的絲綢之路,從古絲路起點一路向西;沿路經過敦煌、蘭州等,讓我感受到中國西北的氣候真的非常乾燥,像是常常和同學產生靜電。
然而走過這趟旅程後,有幾個讓我印象深刻的地方,第一個是「又見敦煌」舞台劇的壯闊排場,演員們精湛的演技,當代華麗的服裝,都使我相當震撼、驚豔,同時也深刻了解莫高窟歷史文化。

第二,夜臥火車及沙漠露營,都讓我更懂得珍惜現在有舒服軟床的時光,因為幾乎整夜都沒有深層睡眠。

第三個則是學校交流,透過與當地的學生交流,讓我同時了解兩岸生活、用語上的差異,以及他們現在到底在流行甚麼。

總而言之,這次的國際教育旅行,使我了解當地文化和開拓視野,最重要的是打開眼界,改變舊觀念,親身體驗這趟絲綢之路。
最後,也希望這趟旅程留下永遠難忘的美好回憶,一帶一路的政策能為世界帶來真正的全球化及興盛的貿易通道!

2019一帶一路國際教育旅行心得分享9D黃荷




在絲綢之路上,我們感受及體驗到許多事情,由於平常上課,我們只能透過現有的資料了解另一個國家,但這趟旅程,我們得以親身體驗到前所未有的感受。經由參訪各地的博物館,我們可以了解歷史的演變與脈絡,才能更了解古代的情況。


另外,我們也透過騎乘駱駝,體驗到當時開拓絲路艱難的路程,及刻苦的氣候,所以才能了解古人的偉大。經由參訪各個藝術寶窟,我們看到東方與西方文化的差異,但同時也顯現東方文化的特色以及令人驚豔之處,並奠定了東方藝術在世界上的地位。東方藝術不但用極為細緻的雕刻呈現,更結合了宗教、歷史及神話故事等元素。從一個不同視野的角度來學習歷史、地理、文化,我們得以增廣見聞,培養國際觀,進而應用在生活中。


雖然我們只走過絲路的起點,但這也表示還有更多的事情等著我們去發掘及學習,如此一來,我們就可以用學習及不斷有新探索,更充實自己的人生。

2018中泰國際教育旅行Day8


國際教育旅行的意義是增長見聞的行動教育

撰寫班級 : 902

蘇庭佑

中泰教育旅行,不知不覺已經來到第八天,今天的行程也十分的吸引人。首先,我們先去到了水上市場。導遊說,泰國古代都是在河邊進行買賣的。我們一進到市場,就可以感受到水上市場的熱鬧。水上市場裡大家都是坐船的,擠人的程度和賣的東西都不輸陸上的市場。

接下來在三攀象園用過午餐後,我們去了材料圖書館。聽名字便可以得知,這個圖書館是一個特別的圖書館,讓大家都興奮了起來。這個圖書館,據說已經是一個年代久遠的圖書館了。進到裡面,發現這個圖書館除了有書之外,還有用不同材料製作的藝術品。有布做的、鐵做的、還有一個是用足球的外皮做的。

今天的最後一站,我們來到了泰國的商場。 我發現,原來泰國的商場都用餐卡在美食街購買食物,這點和台灣有很大的不同,裝飾也比台灣宏偉。

最後,我的感想是,國際教育旅行真的是一項好玩又可以學的知識的活動。這次的活動讓我在心態上有了很大的改變,如果願意走出舒適圈,真的可以學到更多,有更多的發現和見識。

這趟旅程已經過了一半,到了今天,我們更懂得珍惜在一起的時光。離開已熟悉的飯店後,坐了將近5小時的車程,雖然途中有些許的休息,導遊也一路細心的講解今天要參觀的景點,學到了許多新知識,但難免還是讓人坐的全身腰酸背痛。

終於熬到了午餐時間,我們吃了港式餐點,因為每個人都是吃到飽,所以吃的很享受,吃飽後就瘋狂的加點入口即化的奶黃包,奶黃包雖然是簡單也常見的食物但大家都吃的津津有味。

再搭了一會兒車程,我們經過了東門、護城河和大塔寺。導覽員跟我們說在城裡的屋子都不能超過五層樓,因為這座泰國北部最高的大塔寺之前有被地震震倒過,導致上半部掉落,後來也沒有修補,為了表示尊敬,那裡的屋子都不能高過長大塔寺。

大熱天拍完照就去坐泰國有名的嘟嘟車了!司機皺著眉頭的在濃濃二氧化碳中帶著我們穿梭,涼風徐徐吹來,在這個大熱天中特別舒服。但不得不說在嘟嘟車的途中有點臭(很臭),但這個體驗真的很棒,我們可以看到康橋學生從我們身旁經過,不時就跟同學打聲招呼。

到達水果街後,買水果的買水果,有好吃又臭的榴蓮和如同果凍般的椰子。看似認真的同學其實大部分都跑去便利商店吹冷氣,在這裡不只物價低廉,人們還非常的親切。

最後是最精彩的夜舖火車,這是大部分的人第一次的體驗。一上車的氣氛變成是又緊張又興奮,可以在火車中度過一晚真是一個美好的經驗,想像大家一起在火車上度過一晚,有的人會聊天,有的人會玩遊戲,也有的人會到別人那裡亂竄,這些都會是畢旅最特別的一個夜晚。

今天的第一個行程安排我們到白廟參觀,在車上的時候,領隊跟我們分享了許多有關白廟的歷史故事,以及創建的過程。經過了了漫長的3個小時的車程,終於到達了目的地,一下車映入眼簾的是金碧輝煌的裝飾,還有純白色的大寺廟。在參觀的時候,讓我們驚呼連連的是牆上色彩繽紛的壁畫,也一直找尋熟悉的卡通人物或是電影中出現的人物。這間寺廟雖然名為白廟,但附近都有許多銀金色裝飾,更讓這座廟顯得莊嚴與神聖。

接下來我們到了鴉片博物館參觀,裡面講述了有關鴉片的歷史,還有鴉片是如何製作以及傳播的,讓我們對鴉片有了更深的體會,也藉由這個博物館讓同學們知道鴉片是如何深深到影響世人,不只會影響自己的身心靈,還會影響到周遭的親朋好友。緊接著我們到了金三角搭船遊湄公河,金三角是三國的國界所形成的,同時也別具歷史意義。今天的天空很作美,因此河上的景色是一覽無遺,金色的大佛像也矗立在我們眼前,迎著風坐在船上很舒服,有時候也會有海水噴濺上來,是一個很不一樣的體驗。

時間過的很快,中泰教育旅行的行程已經過了一半了。經過了這6天真的增廣了我們的視野,不僅體驗了以前不曾體驗過的東西,也吸收了許多知識,增加了我們人生中不一樣的體驗。相信接下來的旅程中也會有更不一樣的體驗與感受。

On June 21st, the weather today was very sunny. We got up early to have breakfast inside the hotel. The schedule of the day was to visit the best school in Thon Buri — Thewphaingarm. Thewphaingarm is a school that was set up in September 20th, 1975. It was established by Narong Thewphaingram and U-Sa Thewphaingram. At the beginning, the school only have kindergarten. However, they expand the school in 1979 and now included one fitness center, assembly hall, cafeteria, and over 60 classroom. The school covered over 9.2 acres, and over 3000 students. Thewphaingram provides the best education materials and supplies, such as science, calculus and languages lab. The after school club can also help promote students’ interest on music, dance, sports, calculus or even art.

When we arrived the Thewphaingarm, we were led to the assembly hall for the welcoming ceremony. During the ceremony, we introduced our campus and played video about our school. Their school also presented their campus to us. Both our school and Thewphaingram prepared performance. They presented the traditional dancing from both North and middle of Thailand. Students from Kang Chiao prepared different Korean songs to stir up the atmosphere of the whole assembly hall. After both performances, the students taught us the traditional dancing in Thailand and we all danced together in a big circle. There were a lot of people but we had lots of fun.

They led us to the cafeteria for lunch. The students helped to carry the plates for us and gave tissues to us. I felt they are very nice, kind, friendly, polite, and professional. After lunch, the buddy took us to walk around the campus and showed us each classroom. We even went to the Thai Music Classroom to play with different instruments. These are all very cool experiences for me.

Today is the ninth day of our exploration trip in Thailand. During the past few days, we visited many places in Chiangmai and Chingrai, where we learned many Thai cultures.

Yesterday, we finally arrived at Bangkok after riding on the night train. First, we went to visit The Jim Thompson House. The museum was named after its original owner, Jim Thompson, who built the house that later became a museum. The museum gathered up the owner’s art collection, which resulted this place as one of the most popular tourist attraction in Bangkok. Tourists like to visit the Jim  Thompson museum to look at the different art collections that they display. While visiting the Jim Thompson House, we saw many collections that Thompson has, but most of them were damaged before he got the antiques. After visiting the museum, we head back to eat the lunch buffet from the Ramada Plaza Hotel, then we changed into our school uniform for the graduation ceremony in the afternoon.

Everyone were very excited to graduate today. The ceremony starts with the vice principal’s speech, and then the ceremony officially begins. Many outstanding students got awards such as the mayor’s award and service award. When the awarding ended, two students surprised the vice principle by singing a song, then the vice principle gave us a speech which he hopes to inspire us in the future. At last, each class gathered around their homeroom teachers, sharing their words towards those who are leaving.

 After the ceremony, we went to Asiatique. There were many restaurants and stores in Asiatique, we ate at a Thai restaurant. Then we went shopping, and played at the frog jump at the amusement park area. Lastly, we went to see “Muay Thai Live”. From the show we can see that they have very great skills, their performance felt very real. In which we can tell they’ve work very hard to put on such show. I’m very happy that we came to see it.

We woke up at 7:30 with a exciting heart ready for today’s journey. I looked at today’s schedule and I realized we need to cook by ourselves today for lunch. I was worried about it cause I didn’t  know how to cook at all. First we had the breakfast in the hotel. It was delicious I hope it would be as good as my lunch. After we finished breakfast, we have gotten enough energy to start our journey. We left the hotel at 8:50, we went to the cooking class immediately. Arrived at 10:15, we were surprised that we would eat lunch that early because we were still full by now. We started the class and learned how to cook by ourselves, and It’s pretty delicious at that moment I finally released my worry.

  In the afternoon we went to a temple. It’s called Wat Phra That Doi Suthep the speciality of this temple was that there were two dragon in front of the it. We has fun and we went to the observation deck for pictures the view was amazing up there you can see the hole Chiangmai. Suddenly I felt Chiangmai was the prettiest place in the world.

Then we were supposed to go to night animal zoo. I think it was the most exciting part of today. Vice principal said that we were participated very well so he gave us a special opportunity to go shopping in the market. We bought a lot of cookies and fast noodles. Finally we arrived to the night animals zoo. First we went to see the carnivore animal, it’s a special experience to get that close to rare animal, and then we went to see the tigers show it’s amazing to see that ferocious animal to be obedient by its master. I would never forget what I have been thought today, and I would remember how fun is it in Chiangmai. I wish I have another chance to come to Chiangmai again!

This was definitely an exciting experience for all of us. I think we would like to go again next time.

In the morning, we went from our hotel to the Mae-Ping river. We were going to raft at the Mae-ping river. Although we waited for a long time, the rafting experience was amazing for every one of us. Before rafting, we had to listen and learn the instructions of rafting from the coaches. They taught us the way of paddling and the correct position when we heard “stop”. We started to use the paddles to splash water during the rafting. When we moved past the big rocks and the water flow, everyone felt very excited and interested. 
    After another Thai-flavored lunch, we were led to watch the elephant show. At the beginning, I was called up to perform with the elephant. The elephant used his trunk to put a straw hat on my head and kissed my cheek. Then, our teacher bought bananas and sugar cane for us to feed the elephants. After watching the elephant show, we went to ride an elephant! This is one of the most anticipating activities listed in my educational trip this time. Since the elephant is about 2.5 meters tall, we were very far from the ground. As long as the elephant took one step forward, I felt that I was going to fall down. However, the whole process was extremely exciting and happy. Along the way, the coach of the elephant talked with us very happily. He said that the girls in Taiwan were very beautiful and he imitated our words because we were screaming the whole time! After the end of the elephant ride, I want to leave a good memory there, so my friend and I bought a photo the people there helped us take of. On our way back to our last stop for the imperial dinner, I think the picture they took for us friends is the most meaningful for us to record our memory.
    At night, we went to a fancy restaurant to enjoy “Khantoke”, where everyone sat on the floor having dinner while there were actors and actresses performing their traditional northern Thai dance show about folk stories. We even went to the center and danced with the performers when we finished our dinner. This was definitely an exciting experience for all of us. I think we would like to go again next time.

The forth day of this educational trip is filled with students’ curiosity and excitement; where everyone was talking about how it would be so special to ride on an elephant with their friends for the very first time. As we arrived the elephant training school, the teacher led us to the area where we would line up and wait for our turn to ride on an elephant. We were all extremely excited for this experience. It was somewhat terrifying to ride on an elephant as we were basically bumping left and right that we’d need to use our muscle to balance ourselves. Nonetheless, it was enjoyable. While we scream, complain, laugh, etc, we were all creating memories that will never be forgotten. After that, we went to eat lunch, and the lunch was different from Taiwan, but was unique that we could only taste in Thailand. Later on, we wait to go rafting. We actually waited for a very long time because the weather was terrible and the cars were somehow stuck on the mountain. After almost an hour of waiting, the cars got back and drove us up to the mountain. We got all “armed” and prepared to go rafting, and it was like a training for us; my muscles were sore after that, but it was very fun. We became all sleepy and lazy after all, so we went back to the bus and slept for almost two hours, and arrived the dining place. The food was soooo spicy, that I didn’t eat much, but the time spent with friends were precious. We played truth and dare, and recorded several hilarious videos, that we’d probably look back on for as many times as we could when we’re back to Taiwan. It was so far the best day.

On the third day of the graduation trip, all the ninth graders pass through custom successfully in the airport. After the long three hours flight, we finally landed in Thailand, a warm tropical country in Asia. While in Thailand, we live in the Holiday Inn. The moment I walk in the hotel, the immense lobby astonished me, and the busboy welcome us with enthusiasm. The dinner in the hotel was flawless. The restaurant serve delicious food including steaks, crabs, tuna, and all other kind of cuisine. After the dinner, we return to our room. The size of the restroom make us speechless, it’s bigger than my own room in Taiwan. Overall, I think the facility of the hotel is immaculate, and the manner of the receptionists are affable.

On the third day of the trip, we spent most of the time on the boarding, the experience on the plane impressed me. Today's plane is flying on Cathay Pacific and flies from Hong Kong to Chiang Mai. When we first got on the plane, there were friendly flight attendants greeting us, but what surprised me, even more, was that the radio mentioned the name of our school. When the plane started to fly, I  sit beside the window and see the sea of ​​clouds and entire Hong Kong when I was flying. After that, I felt very sleepy. So I slept for a while, and when I woke up, the flight attendants took a meal, although the taste was not so good. However, I felt the hard work of the service staff. After this, most people fell asleep, when I tried to go to the toilet, I have to cross two person, which was very difficult, because of space is really small, I think they should improve it. And experience on the plane that impressed me.

Two days has passed and today is the third day of our 9th grade graduation trip. Our schedule today was very simple, we just need to take a ride from Shenzhen to Hongkong then take a plane to Chiangmai in Thailand. Yesterday we visited the branch school of the Beijing university in Shenzhen and went to the biggest electronic/technology mall in Shenzhen to learn about the improvements and developments of Shenzhen and China. My mom came to see me from tuesday afternoon to today morning, she has been working in Dongguan, Guangdong for a long time and I have not seen her for about three to four months. She also woke up early to have breakfast with us in today's morning and sent me to the bus. We went on the bus at 9 o'clock in the morning and took the bus for abou 45 minutes to the customs office of Shengzhen and Hongkong. We then took the bus again for almost one hour to arrive at the Hongkong airport. After passing the customs office at the airport, we took the money that the teacher gave us in the bus to have lunch. However, because there were so many people at the airport, we took a long time to find a place to eat lunch. After lunch, we took the airport bus to boarding gate. We get on board at 3:00 and took the flight for about three hours and we finally arrived in Chiangmai. We then met our new guide and took a bus to the hotel that we are living in today, we had dinner and went to our own room later. Overall today was a simple but busy day, I am now looking foward to tomorrow's activities and hoping that tomorrow is a great day too.
