Worlds Within Words: The Dawn of Creation
字里乾坤之开天辟地 | January 2027 Holiday Program
What if the mountains were once part of a giant, and the first humans were shaped from earth?
In this imaginative six-day Chinese mythology course in Pymble, children will discover ancient stories of Pangu, Nüwa and other legendary figures while building their Chinese language and pinyin foundations.
Through six connected themes — Heaven, Earth, Humanity, Emotion, Aspiration and Beauty — children will explore how ancient Chinese people imagined the universe, understood nature and reflected on human life.
What will children do?
Each 2.5-hour session combines engaging storytelling, guided reading, pinyin practice, Chinese characters, vocabulary and idioms, followed by thoughtful questions and interactive activities.
Children will be encouraged to make connections between stories and their own experiences, share ideas and gradually build confidence in Chinese expression.
What makes this experience special?
With no more than five students per class, every child has opportunities to participate, ask questions and explore at their own pace.
Rather than simply memorising stories, children will discover how Chinese mythology opens a window into language, literature and cultural imagination.
This beginner-friendly program welcomes students from Years 1–9 who have basic Chinese listening and speaking skills. No prior knowledge of pinyin is required.

Chenghuai Chinese Academy
Chenghuai Chinese Academy

female Women-owned

I'm the founder of Chenghuai Chinese Academy, a boutique Chinese literature and cultural education studio based in Pymble, on Sydney's North Shore.
Chenghuai grew from my lifelong love of Chinese literature and a desire to share its richness with a new generation of learners. What began as a vision for children's education has since evolved into a broader aspiration: to make the wisdom and beauty of Chinese literature and culture accessible to people of all ages.
I hold a bachelor's degree in Chinese Language and Literature and a master's degree in Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature and Culture. I later worked as a journalist and translator, with three of my book translations published by CITIC Press. These experiences have shaped both my understanding of literature and the way I share it with others.
What fascinates me most about Chinese culture is how a single character can reveal an ancient way of seeing the world, how a myth can raise profound questions about nature and existence, and how a few lines of poetry can capture emotions that still resonate with us centuries later.
At Chenghuai, I believe learning is more than acquiring knowledge. Through storytelling, exploration, creative activities and thoughtful conversations, I encourage learners to question, reflect and discover connections between classical wisdom and their own lives.
For children and young learners, our *Worlds Within Words* programs explore Chinese characters, classical literature, mythology, philosophy and aesthetics, nurturing language proficiency, independent thinking, confident expression and a lasting appreciation of Chinese cultural heritage.
For adults, our *Unwind with Chinese Culture* experiences offer a relaxed and welcoming introduction to Chinese stories, poetry and philosophical ideas. Our small-group sessions include *Worlds Within Words*, *Myths & Mysteries of Ancient China* and *Tea & Tales*, where cultural discovery unfolds through storytelling and meaningful conversation. No Chinese language skills or prior knowledge are required for these introductory experiences.
Above all, I hope Chenghuai will be a place where learning inspires curiosity, enriches our inner lives and encourages us to see the world with greater understanding, compassion and an appreciation for everyday beauty.
