为了丰富通识教育课的内容并给学生提供更多的实地考察机会，4月21日在外国语言与文化中心的主任 (CFLC) 王翔教授的带领下，选修“宗教与艺术”课的同学们前往普陀寺进行了参观访学。

  参访普陀寺一直是UIC的通识以及中国文化课程的保留项目，此行的重点是参观位于普陀寺内的普济艺术博物馆。据悉，该博物馆是由普陀寺新发起创立的一家集展览、典藏、研究、公共教育、文化交流等功能于一体的综合性佛教艺术展馆。博物馆的文物品类丰富，包括古籍善本、琉璃器、陶瓷器、紫砂器、佛造像、书法绘画和综合艺术品等。

  同学们在王教授的带领下，有序地参观了馆内的文物，并身临其境地体验了中日韩的佛教文化交流之旅。其后，王教授还勾连日常授课内容和普陀寺的寺庙建筑，以具象化的方式为学生们呈现出中国佛教艺术之一隅，也令同学们纷纷表示不虚此行。

English version:

       On April 21, students from the Religion and the Arts: Eastern Traditions course visited Putuo Monastery (普陀寺) under the guidance of Professor Shawn (Xiang) Wang from the Centre of Foreign Languages and Cultures (CFLC).

       This trip aimed to offer students who opt for general education courses more opportunities to engage in on-site investigation and experience course-related cultural content. The highlight of this trip was a visit to the Puji (Universal Relief) Art Museum (普济艺术博物馆) located within the monastery. The museum was founded by Putuo Monastery and serves as a comprehensive gallery of Buddhist art, integrating functions of exhibition, collection, research, public education, and cultural exchange. It boasts a diverse range of cultural relics, including rare manuscripts, glazed vessels, ceramics, purple sand vessels, Buddha statues, calligraphy and painting, and various artworks.

       Professor Wang led the students in an organized tour of the museum, providing them with a firsthand experience of Buddhist cultural exchanges between China, Japan, and Korea. Moreover, he linked the architecture of Putuo Monastery with the content of the general education course, presenting a visual tapestry of Buddhist art to the students, who expressed their satisfaction with the field investigation.
