各位嘉宾立足中非友好交往历程，畅谈丝路精神传承与人文交流价值，期许以艺术为媒，深化两国文明互鉴，让中非友谊薪火相传。中外嘉宾跨越语言与地域，因文化相聚、为友谊携手，成为中非文明交流的亲历者与推动者。

Drawing on the history of friendly exchanges between China and Zimbabwe, the distinguished guests talked about carrying forward the Silk Road Spirit and the value of people-to-people and cultural exchanges. They expressed the wish to deepen mutual learning between the two civilisations via art and pass down the China-Africa friendship from generation to generation. Transcending boundaries of language and geography, Chinese and foreign guests came together for culture and friendship, witnessing and promoting dialogue between civilisations.

赏画论艺 Art Appreciation & Discussion

中国驻津巴布韦大使、津巴布韦大学副校长与一众书画艺术家缓步观展。驻足一幅幅笔墨佳作前，众人细细品鉴画作意境，畅谈书画艺术内涵，交流创作思路与文化感悟。一笔一墨尽显东方美学魅力，一画一景传递文明交融之韵。大家以画为媒、以艺交心，在品鉴探讨中加深彼此理解，让传统书画成为联通中非心灵的无声语言。

Ambassador Zhou Ding, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Zimbabwe and a group of painters and calligraphers toured the exhibition leisurely. Pausing before each exquisite work of brush and ink, they savoured the artistic conception of the paintings, exchanged views on the essence of traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, and shared ideas on creation and cultural perceptions. Every stroke embodies the unique charm of Eastern aesthetics, and every painting conveys the beauty of integrated civilisations. Connecting hearts through art, the guests enhanced mutual understanding during the appreciation and discussions, making traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy a silent bond linking China and Africa.

赏画结束后，现场举行书画作品赠送仪式，艺术家精心创作的作品依次赠予津巴布韦总统、驻华使节、校方代表等，笔墨承载情谊，定格美好瞬间，全体嘉宾共同合影留念，记录这一珍贵时刻。

After the tour, a painting donation ceremony was held. Exquisitely created artworks were presented to the President of Zimbabwe, diplomatic envoys and university representatives. Brush and ink carry sincere friendship, and all guests posed for a group photo to capture this precious moment.

挥毫习墨 Learning Ink Painting

当津巴布韦大学孔子学院及各教学点的学生们走进画展大厅，现场艺术互动体验的气氛愈加热烈！学生们满怀好奇，近距离接触中国水墨画，纷纷与画作及艺术家们合影留念。在中方艺术家的现场指导下，孩子们拿起毛笔，初次体验运笔、勾勒、晕染，认真学习水墨创作技法。稚嫩的笔触跃然纸上，每一幅习作都饱含着对中国传统艺术的喜爱。沉浸式的书画体验，让异国青少年直观感受中华笔墨的独特魅力，也让中非文化交流的种子在年轻一代心中悄然生根。

The atmosphere became even more lively when students from the Confucius Institute at the University of Zimbabwe and its affiliated teaching sites entered the exhibition hall. Filled with curiosity, the students got up close to traditional Chinese ink paintings and took photos with the artworks and artists. Under the on-site guidance of Chinese artists, they picked up writing brushes and tried basic techniques such as brush movement, line drawing and ink blending for the first time. Their youthful strokes on the paper reflected their genuine fondness for traditional Chinese art. This immersive experience allowed young people from Zimbabwe to truly feel the glamour of Chinese ink art, sowing the seeds of China-Africa cultural friendship in the hearts of the younger generation.

此次“丝路画语展”打破人文交流单向展示的模式，实现了中非文明双向融通。未来，中非文明交流互鉴合作研究中心将以文明对话国际日为常态化品牌，持续开展艺术工作坊、联合创作、互访交流等活动，探索“艺术+文旅+文创”合作新路径，推动中非人文交流走深走实，携手共创中非发展共赢的美好未来。

The “Silk Road in Painting” Exhibition has transformed a one-way cultural display into two-way integration between Chinese and African civilisations. Going forward, the China-AfricaCivilisationMutual Learning, Exchange and Cooperation Research Centre will take the International Day for Dialogue Among Civilisations as an annual brand. We will continue to organise art workshops, joint creation activities and mutual visits, and explore a new cooperation model featuring "art, cultural tourism and cultural and creative industries". We will strive to further advance China-Africa people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and work hand in hand to embrace a future of win-win development for China and Africa.
