For several years， Lanzhou University of Arts and Science has been offering courses on Chinese culture and， last year， Tianjin University started to do the same. Chinese intangible cultural heritage items （非物质文化遗产项目） to be put on UNESCO （联合国教科文组织） Intangible Cultural Heritage List is more than any other country in the world.

As a foreigner， I’m a lover of Chinese culture. Several years ago， I visited a small village near Suzhou where teenage girls were learning the traditional art of embroidery

（刺绣）. For centuries， Suzhou has been known for its wonderful embroidery. Young girls there learn the art from an early age. I watched these “modern” girls working for a while. One of the girls just completed a piece of work. I bought it as a gift for my brother and his wife， and it now hangs proudly in the living room of their home in Canada.

What makes both Chinese and foreigners love embroidery so much？ The work shows the beauty of Chinese culture and the great skills of craftsmen （工匠）. It may appear simple， but in fact it’s the result of years of hard work. As one Chinese opera performer said， “One minute of performance on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage.”

I doubt that the students who study Chinese culture in college will become true masters， but they will get a better understanding of the importance of Chinese culture and， hopefully， keep that culture alive.
