A cultural showcase took place at the Shanghai Polytechnic University on Wednesday, with students from 18 universities staging cultural performances from their own ethnic groups.

Participating universities also hosted booths where visitors could view accessories from different ethnic groups, such as Miao embroideries and dolls from various groups. Additionally, there were traditional Han games and colorful braids from Tibet.
At the Shanghai International Studies University booth, students from the Kazak ethnic group displayed their traditional embroidery.
“This is a mat with traditional Kazak embroidery patterns,” said Bisan Hanas, a Kazak student from the university. “In my hometown, mothers make all kinds of Kazak embroidery products for their daughters’ weddings.”
At Donghua University's booth, Tibetan students displayed exhibits such as prayer wheels, yak dolls and a pot filled with fried highland barley that represents Tibetans’ wishes for good harvests.
“Many people have come to us for a glimpse of Tibetan culture, and I have visited other booths to experience the cultures of other ethnic groups,” said Kelsang Chodron, a Tibetan student at Donghua. “This event really gives us an opportunity to see that our country is such a big family with so many rich cultures.”
Shanghai Polytechnic will organize online lectures, photo exhibitions, dragon boat races and other activities in the future to promote cultural protection and innovation among all ethnic groups in China.
