文/Satkulova Ayazan（丹青，哈薩克斯坦籍） 譯/張國錦

我叫Satkulova Ayazan，中文名叫丹青。我是蘭州交通大學(xué)的一名留學(xué)生，因為我主修的專業(yè)是產(chǎn)品設(shè)計，所以我們國際教育學(xué)院的院長張國錦老師給我起了一個非常有藝術(shù)特征的名字。

我來自中亞最大的國家，那里有好似從天而降的山、最深的池子、成群的牛羊、奔馳的駿馬、熱情禮貌又幽默的人們、優(yōu)美的舞蹈、富有營養(yǎng)的熱湯面、溫暖的毛衣，她的名字是哈薩克斯坦。我想向了解我國家的朋友們鞠躬，了解我的國家你就可以了解我。有些中國人很熟悉哈薩克這個名字，因為中國有一個少數(shù)民族的名字叫哈薩克族。干凈、禮貌、友好，是我們國家的三個準(zhǔn)則。我很熱愛我的祖國，對中國也充滿了感情。在我的祖國有我的家人，在中國有我的朋友和老師。

My name is Satkulova Ayazan, my Chinese name is Danqing,and I am an international student at Lanzhou Jiaotong University. My major is product design, so Mrs. Zhang, our dean of the School of International Education, gave me a very artistic name.

I come from the largest country in Central Asia. My home country is full of mountains. It has the deepest pool, flocks of cattle and sheep, galloping horses, kind and polite people with humorous souls, beautiful dances, the most nutritious hot soup noodles, and lots of warm sweaters. My home country is known as Kazakhstan. I want to bow to the people who know my country. If you know my country, then you can learn something about me. Some Chinese people are familiar with Kazak’s name because there is a minority nationality in China called Kazak.Cleanliness, politeness, and friendliness are the three principles of our country. I love my motherland very much. I am also full of feelings for China because I have my family in my homeland and my friends and teachers in China.

來華留學(xué)

有機(jī)會去一個國家了解那里的人和文化是一件非常令人高興的事。這樣的機(jī)會很難得，特別是對于我這樣一個出生在并不富足的家庭的人來說。我非常幸運(yùn)可以來中國留學(xué)，近距離地了解中國、學(xué)習(xí)漢語、感受中國文化。

在我沒有來中國之前，我對中國并不了解。當(dāng)我第一次來到中國的時候，印象最深刻的是中國的城市非常干凈。在中國，每天都有勤勞的環(huán)衛(wèi)工人在辛勤地打掃。這個畫面讓我很感動，也讓我知道不能隨手亂扔垃圾。這樣的事還有很多，漸漸地我發(fā)現(xiàn)中國跟哈薩克斯坦一樣是一個干凈的國家，人民禮貌友好。

在這里，學(xué)校老師很關(guān)心我們，他們會在我們有困難的時候及時給予幫助，不會讓留學(xué)生在一個陌生的國家感到壓力很大或者很孤獨(dú)；在這里，我開始慢慢學(xué)起了漢語，慢慢地認(rèn)識了很多朋友；在這里，我學(xué)會了敦煌舞，并且給同學(xué)和老師們成功表演了敦煌舞，這讓我覺得非常快樂。

Study in China

It is a great pleasure to have the opportunity to go to a country and learn about the people and culture. Such chances are rare,especially for a person born in a family that is not rich. I am fortunate to study in China and become an undergraduate student of Lanzhou Jiaotong University. I learn directly from the source of China’s language and culture.

Before I came to China, I knew little about China. When I first came to China, what impressed me most was that the Chinese cities were exceptionally clean. In China, diligent sanitation workers are working hard to clean the streets every day. This picture makes me deeply moved, and it lets me know not to litter. There are many things like this. Gradually, I found that China is a clean country like Kazakhstan, and people are polite and friendly.

邂逅敦煌

Teachers are genuinely concerned about us. They always help us when we are in trouble. Thus, the international students do not feel pressure or loneliness in China. Gradually, I began to learn the Chinese language, met a lot of friends. Moreover, I learned Dunhuang dance and gave students and teachers a successful performance of Dunhuang dance, which made me so happy.

世界上很多國家和民族都有自己獨(dú)特的舞蹈，比如說歐洲的芭蕾舞。而在中國，在甘肅，我學(xué)會了敦煌舞。我記得有一次，學(xué)院組織留學(xué)生去敦煌文化考察，我了解到敦煌是中國古代絲綢之路上的一個古老的城市。在這個城市里，最著名的是敦煌石窟藝術(shù)，它是由建筑藝術(shù)、雕塑藝術(shù)、壁畫藝術(shù)三者緊密結(jié)合而成的綜合藝術(shù)。這個石窟深藏于茫茫沙漠中，但是走進(jìn)洞窟的那一剎那，我被深深震撼了。我看到在石窟的古老壁畫上，美麗的飛天翩翩起舞，她們形態(tài)各異，有的雙手合十，有的手捧蓮花，有的手捧花盤，有的揚(yáng)手散花，有的拿著各種樂器朝著一個方向飛翔。她們體態(tài)輕盈，穿著飄曳的長裙，揮舞著彩帶，迎風(fēng)舒卷。沒想到在這樣一個看起來很荒涼的地方，有著這么美的藝術(shù)，它就像沙漠中的珍寶一樣。我是學(xué)藝術(shù)的，我深深地被這里的藝術(shù)吸引，這么美的壁畫能夠在這里保存上千年，真的不簡單！我深深地感受到了中國文化的博大精深。

敦煌舞：模仿壁畫上的飛天跳舞

2019年，甘肅省文化和旅游廳、甘肅省教育廳和我們學(xué)校共同舉辦了“春綠隴原”文藝演出。老師通知我們報名學(xué)習(xí)敦煌舞，那時候我還不知道什么是敦煌舞，但是從舞蹈的名字來看，我想應(yīng)該和敦煌有關(guān)吧。想起我在敦煌看到的藝術(shù)，我第一個報名參加了。讓我驚喜的是，老師告訴我們，敦煌舞源自敦煌這座城市。敦煌舞就是根據(jù)敦煌莫高窟壁畫上的內(nèi)容，在中國民間舞蹈的基礎(chǔ)上，經(jīng)過幾代專業(yè)工作者的提煉、整理、加工和創(chuàng)作，并經(jīng)過長期藝術(shù)實(shí)踐，流傳下來的一種舞蹈。原來我在模仿壁畫上的飛天跳舞，真的太美了！

Encounter Dunhuang

Many countries and nations in the world have their unique dances. For example, ballet is in European countries. In China, in Gansu, I learned the local dance-Dunhuang dance.I remember one time the school organized its international students to make a field trip in Dunhuang. I learned that Dunhuang is one of the ancient cities on the Silk Road.In this city, the most famous is Dunhuang Grottoes art, a comprehensive art composed of architectural art, sculpture art,and mural art. Mogao grotto was hidden in the vast desert, but I was deeply shocked when I entered the grotto. I saw the ancient frescoes in the grottoes, beautiful flying, and dancing in the sky.They were in different shapes: some with clasped hands, some were holding lotus flowers gently, some were holding flower trays, some were strewing flowers, and some were holding various musical instruments. All were flying in one direction.They seemed as light as air, wearing long skirts, waving colorful ribbons that stretched in the wind. I did not expect that there existed such beautiful art in such a desolate place; it was really like a gem in the desert. As a student of art, I’m deeply attracted by the art here. It’s not easy for such a beautiful mural to be preserved here for thousands of years! I sincerely feel the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture.

Dunhuang dance: Imitiate the flying dance on the mural

In 2019, there was an art performance named “Green Spring of Longyuan” jointly sponsored and organized by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Gansu Province, the Department of Education of Gansu Province, and our school. The schoolteacher informed us to sign up for the Dunhuang dance. At that time,I did not know what Dunhuang dance was, but I guessed that it might be some dance-related to Dunhuang from the name of dance. Thinking of the art I saw in Dunhuang, immediately,I was the first to sign up. To my surprise, the teacher told us that Dunhuang dance originated from a city called Dunhuang.According to the contents of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes murals, Dunhuang dance is a kind of dance handed down after several generations of professional workers’ refining,sorting, processing, creating, and practice. It turned out that I was imitating the flying dance on the mural. It was a fantastic experience!

When I first started to learn Dunhuang dance, I found it exceedingly difficult. It had no pronounced rhythm. Every movement was related to breathing. I was required to dance with the feeling of the music. But slowly, I found that learning Dunhuang dance was a good experience. When I danced, I felt very relaxed. Every movement is light and comfortable,and my heart gradually began to open. I recalled the beautiful murals I saw, carefully pondering the flying apsaras’ actions,and earnestly felt the breath of culture. Slowly, I learned how to show the beauty of the body and show the artistic beauty of Dunhuang with my own body. I think Dunhuang dance is charming, like dancing on a blooming jasmine flower.

2019年，丹青（前排右一）參加甘肅省文化和旅游廳主辦的“春綠隴原”文藝演出，表演敦煌舞“絲路隨想”

我剛開始學(xué)習(xí)敦煌舞的時候覺得很難，它沒有明顯的節(jié)奏，每一個動作都與呼吸有關(guān)，需要你跟隨音樂的感覺起舞。但是慢慢地，我發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)習(xí)敦煌舞是一種很好的體驗。跳舞的時候我會覺得很放松，每一個動作都是輕快的、舒展的，心靈也慢慢敞開了。我回憶著看到過的優(yōu)美壁畫，仔細(xì)琢磨著飛天的動作，認(rèn)真感受著文化的氣息，慢慢地我學(xué)會了如何展示肢體的美，如何用自己的肢體表現(xiàn)出敦煌的藝術(shù)之美。我覺得跳敦煌舞的樣子很美，像在一朵盛開的茉莉花上跳舞。

學(xué)習(xí)敦煌舞，不僅是學(xué)習(xí)一種舞蹈，更多的是學(xué)習(xí)了解自己的身體，學(xué)習(xí)如何表達(dá)中國的文化藝術(shù)之美。

我想以后回到哈薩克斯坦，給我的家人和朋友們表演敦煌舞，他們也許沒有機(jī)會來到中國，來到甘肅，看到敦煌壁畫，但是他們可以欣賞我跳的敦煌舞，從我的舞蹈中看到敦煌的美麗，看到中國古老而悠久的歷史，感受到中國文化的魅力。因為文化藝術(shù)會超越時空和國界。我也會跟他們講講敦煌的故事，講講我在中國留學(xué)的有趣故事。

最后，我想告訴很多像我一樣的留學(xué)生朋友們，不管你來自哪里，去往哪個國家，都不要刻意把自己當(dāng)成外國人，其實(shí)我們都是一樣的，只是文化各有特點(diǎn)。我們應(yīng)該靜下心來學(xué)習(xí)和感受不一樣的文化，做文化交流的使者。

非常感謝中國，感謝蘭州交通大學(xué)能給我這個機(jī)會來這里學(xué)習(xí)，帶給我許多美好的時光和寶貴的回憶！

Learning Dunhuang dance is learning a kind of dance and learning how to express and understand Chinese culture.

When I return to Kazakhstan, I will perform the Dunhuang dance for my family and friends. They may not have the opportunity to come to China or Gansu to see the Dunhuang murals. Still, they can enjoy the Dunhuang dance, appreciate Dunhuang’s beauty from my dance, experience the ancient and long history of China, and feel the charm of Chinese culture.Culture and art will transcend the space-time limits and go beyond the national boundaries. I will also tell them the story of Dunhuang and the exciting story of my study in China.

Finally, I would like to tell many friends, international students like me, no matter where you come from or which country you are going to, do not deliberately regard yourself as a foreigner.In fact, except for different cultures and views, we are all the same. We should calm down to learn about other cultures, to be ambassadors of cultural exchange.

I want to express my gratitude to China and Lanzhou Jiaotong University for giving me this opportunity to study here and bring me a good time and precious memories!
