Xu Zhen, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Basic Medicine of Lanzhou University, said that the institute continues to explore the comprehensive use of expressive art therapy arts, such as "acting and acting" (psychological drama), "painting a picture" (painting therapy in Dunhuang murals), "dancing" (flying music dance therapy), "playing a play" (guqin therapy), "moving a movement" (ancient Baduan brocade therapy), "writing a write" (calligraphy therapy), etc., to promote the exchange and learning of young people in Longao in a relaxed, natural and expressive art atmosphere, and carry out mental health education and social services.

LUI Che Ho College of the University of Macau has long been committed to the research and practice of psychology and soft medicine, paying attention to the characteristics of Chinese society and culture, and integrating Western psychotherapy concepts and techniques with Chinese cultural characteristics, forming unique research characteristics.

"Integrating traditional culture into psychotherapy is a very innovative measure, such as our recent Dunhuang mural painting experience class, where students spent more than three hours to paint, which not only allowed students to express and express their emotions, but also allowed teachers to read the psychological conditions of students." Professor Chow Kwok-fai, Associate Dean of LUI Che Wa College of the University of Macau, said in an interview with the media on the same day that in this seminar, teachers and students from the two places could not only exchange ideas, broaden their horizons, appreciate the magnificent scenery of the northwest of the motherland, but also enhance students' knowledge of applied psychology.

Longao youth will also visit the artistic treasures of the Dunhuang Grottoes and experience the desert scenery. Guo Ziying, a sophomore at the University of Macau, said that the pace of life in Macao is relatively fast, and strolling in the vast northwest land can calm his soul, and while enjoying the beautiful scenery and feeling the charm of traditional culture, it is also a spiritual stress relief and recuperation.
