“金马迎瑞”——以法国传统马术迎接马年春节
French equestrian gala marks Chinese Year of the Horse

2月11日，在法国北部的尚蒂伊城堡，马术表演团队成员在参加传统法国马术表演前合影。11日晚，法国北部的尚蒂伊城堡大马厩内灯火通明，红灯笼、中国结点缀其间。圆形表演场里，随着一阵由远及近的马蹄声，由法国上法兰西大区与中国驻法国大使馆联合主办的“金马迎瑞”中法马年新春晚会渐入高潮。与法国各地常见的春节庆典不同，这场晚会的“重头戏”是一项更具本土特色的艺术形式——法国传统马术。[新华社记者 崔可欣 摄]

Co-hosted by the Hauts-de-France regional authorities and the Chinese Embassy in France, the event was distinct from many other Chinese New Year activities. At the Great Stables, the highlight was a distinctly local art form: traditional French equestrian performance. (Xinhua/Cui Kexin)
