中新社泉州7月23日电 (吴冠标)近日，德国诺伊施塔特市文理中学学生Johanna Meyer在接受中新社记者采访时，对“泉州传统建筑令我印象深刻，尤其是屋脊上的龙塑像和燕尾脊”表达了深刻的感受。她认为，德国和中国的传统建筑各有特色，但闽南传统建筑的细节和美感深深吸引了她。作为“世遗之城”，泉州以其丰富的世界文化遗产吸引了全球的目光，德国诺伊施塔特市青少年代表团此次的探访之旅，正是对这座古老城市魅力的深入体验。
在7月23日的活动中，德国诺伊施塔特市青少年代表团参观了泉州22个世界遗产点之一的洛阳桥，这是他们对泉州世界文化遗产城市魅力探索的一部分。除了洛阳桥，代表团还深入游览了晋江梧林古村落、开元寺、泉州少林寺等地，通过实际的游览与体验，他们对泉州丰富的文化遗产有了更深的认识。
此次交流活动的行程被纳入了联合国教科文组织中国世界遗产地保护与管理项目(四期)可持续生计活动框架中。作为“泉州：宋元中国的世界海洋商贸中心”世界遗产地的可持续生计活动新试点之一，“古厝新声”活动选取了世界级非物质文化遗产——闽南传统民居营造技艺作为项目重点，旨在探索遗产保护的新视野，推动可持续发展。
代表团成员Levi Fedra在参观泉州少林寺时，被“南少林功夫”的协调性、技巧性和力量所震撼，他深感武僧们经过长期苦练所展现出的技艺超乎想象。这种文化交流不仅增进了德国青少年对泉州文化的了解，也为他们提供了与不同文化背景的青少年互动的机会。
自从1995年泉州市与诺伊施塔特市结为友好城市以来，双方在教育、文化等多个领域开展了富有成效的合作，此次青少年交流活动更是为中德友谊注入了新的活力。泉州市市长蔡战胜表示，相信通过青少年交流活动的桥梁，两市青少年将为中德人民友谊长存贡献更多青春力量。
此次德国青少年对“世遗之城”泉州的探访，不仅展现了闽南传统建筑的独特魅力，也促进了中德文化交流，为推动世界文化遗产的保护与传承贡献了力量。

Content: Title: German Teens Explore “City of World Heritage” Quanzhou, Awe at the Charm of Southern Fujian’s Traditional Architecture
July 23, Quanzhou, Xinhua News Agency (Wu Guanbiao) – During a recent interview with Xinhua News Agency, Johanna Meyer, a student from the Gymnasium in Neustadt, Germany, expressed her profound admiration for the traditional architecture of Quanzhou, particularly noting the dragon sculptures and the swallow-tailed roofs. She appreciated that, despite the distinct characteristics of traditional architecture in Germany and China, the intricate details and aesthetic beauty of Southern Fujian’s traditional buildings had a profound impact on her. As a city rich in World Heritage, Quanzhou has attracted global attention, and this visit by the Neustadt teens is a deep dive into the city’s captivating charm.
During an event on July 23, the Neustadt teens’ delegation visited one of Quanzhou’s 22 World Heritage sites, the Longyi Bridge, which is part of their exploration of Quanzhou’s World Heritage city charm. In addition to the Longyi Bridge, the delegation delved into the ancient village of Wu Lin in Jinjiang, the temples of Yuanming and Quanzhou Shaolin, gaining a deeper understanding of the city’s rich cultural heritage through hands-on visits and experiences.
This exchange program’s itinerary was included in the framework of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) China World Heritage Site Conservation and Management Project (Phase IV) Sustainable Livelihood Activities. As a new pilot project within the “Quanzhou: The World of Oceanic Trade in Song-Yuan China” World Heritage Site’s Sustainable Livelihood activities, the “Ancient Houses, New Voices” initiative focused on the world-class intangible cultural heritage of traditional Southern Fujian architectural craftsmanship, aiming to explore new perspectives on heritage preservation and promote sustainable development.
Levi Fedra, a member of the delegation, was deeply impressed by the coordination, skill, and strength of “Southern Shaolin Kung Fu” during his visit to Quanzhou Shaolin Temple. He was amazed by the extraordinary skills demonstrated by the monks after years of rigorous training. This cultural exchange not only enhanced the German teens’ understanding of Quanzhou culture but also provided them with opportunities to interact with teenagers from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Since Quanzhou and Neustadt established a friendly city relationship in 1995, the two cities have conducted fruitful cooperation in education, culture, and other fields. This youth exchange program has injected new vitality into the friendship between the two cities. Quanzhou’s Mayor, Cai Zhenwang, believes that through the bridge provided by youth exchanges, the teenagers from both cities will contribute more youthful strength to the enduring friendship between the Chinese and German people.
This visit by German teens to the “City of World Heritage” Quanzhou not only highlighted the unique charm of Southern Fujian’s traditional architecture but also facilitated cultural exchange between China and Germany, contributing to the preservation and inheritance of world cultural heritage.
