Can you imagine? August 20, 2013, I – Shirley, a common Chinese art student who did not know anyone in the government organization that I had tried to write to, got a formal Review Summary Report from the most authoritative department in the field of Chinese as a foreign language – Hanban (the Office of Chinese Language Council International) and the Confucius Institute Headquarters.
Except I felt luck enough for I have gotten so sincere, kind and good directions, help and support from a Chinese government boy and the experts in Chinese as a foreign language field, my heart was deeply touched by the extremely responsible work of the Chinese governmental agency.
With an appreciated heart, I would like to share a part of the Review Summary Report from Ms. Wang Jinhong, who is an officer and an expert from the Division of Teaching Materials Hanban / Confucius Institute Headquarters:

《诗·画·乐：综合艺术汉语》选题报告
一、名称
二、内容
三、价值
本书立意新颖。作者张一平女士结合自身专业和兴趣，从多年的外语学习和文化艺术研修经验出发，以中国古典诗歌艺术为载体，创作了这套集合诗歌赏析、绘画、音乐的跨文化综合艺术产品。
从对外汉语教学的角度来看，该出版物图文结合，形式多样，又兼备朗读和歌唱音频，能够为海外的汉语学习者提供一种自然、便捷、艺术地学习汉语和中国古典文化的途径。难能可贵的是，其中的诗歌翻译、配画、朗诵及演唱均由张女士个人完成，这无疑体现出作者丰富的知识背景以及较高的才艺水平。
从文化传播的角度来看，作者创新地为古代诗歌配乐、配画，希望在互联网时代为中国诗画这一古老的传统艺术形式赋予全新的传播形式，其探索中国文化艺术在海外传播新途径的尝试也应该值得肯定。
