China’s oldest folk library, Tianyige, resumed sinology classes here after a 70-year interruption on Thursday in the eastern province of Zhejiang.
At the library, 70 students in red Chinese traditional costumes recited proverbs, including one that said: “We should get up at dawn and clean up the court to keep order both inside and outside.” It was as if they had stepped back in time.
The children learned to sit still, chanting ancient Chinese works and writing characters with brush pens, just like students in old-style private schools did decades ago.
