在一个阳光明媚的周末，妈妈带着我和我的小伙伴们去图书馆参加了一个特别有趣的活动——儿童古诗三百首2到6岁朗读会。我们穿过了装满书本的狭窄走廊，来到了充满活力的阅读角。

moms, dads, and teachers all gathered around us, smiling warmly. They had brought their little ones to join this special event – a reading of ancient Chinese poetry for children aged 2 to 6.

The atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation. The kids were buzzing with energy as they waited for the activity to begin. Some of them were already familiar with the poems, while others had never heard of them before. But everyone was eager to learn and have fun together.

Finally, the host stood up and welcomed everyone with a big smile. She explained that they would be reading three classic poems from Tang Dynasty poets Du Fu and Li Bai – "A Spring Night", "Quiet Night Thoughts", and "Drinking Alone under the Moon". The kids listened intently as she introduced each poem's title in both Chinese and English.

The first poem began:

"一夜春风吹千家，

灯火阑珊处。

碧落黄泉相逢期，

不待月明星稀。"

As we read through each line aloud, I could hear my friends giggling at some words' funny sounds or meanings. For example, when we came across "" (yellow spring), one little boy exclaimed excitedly that it reminded him of his favorite color! Another girl found it amusing that there were so many people having fun in one night.

After finishing our readings session, we took turns sharing what our favorite lines or moments were from the poems. It was heartwarming to see how these ancient verses could evoke such strong emotions in young hearts.

We then moved on to an interactive part where everyone participated in creating handprint art inspired by nature scenes described within those poems – like cherry blossoms falling like snowflakes or moonlight shining upon still waters. As I carefully placed my small hands onto white paper sheets dipped into blue paint to create tiny waves reflecting the full moon above me felt an instant connection between past generations' poetic expressions & present-day artistic expressions

At last but not least,

we closed our eyes for a moment

and let ourselves drift away

to another world

where dreams are made,

where love is shared,

and where memories live forever

And so ended this magical day filled with laughter & learning.

I am grateful for mom bringing me here today because now I know more about beautiful old stories told by wise men long ago - which will always stay close inside my heart until next time
